Toiminnanohjausjärjestelmän käyttöönottoprosessi salibandyseurassa

2016

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia toiminnanohjausjärjestelmän käyttöönottoprosessia salibandyseurassa. Tarkempina tavoitteina oli selvittää prosessin aiheuttamat hyödyt ja haasteet seuran toimintaan. Lisäksi tutkittiin uuden seuratoiminnanohjausjärjestelmän aiheuttamaa muutosta päivittäisiin seuratoimintoihin kuluvaan työaikaan, jäsenmäärään sekä merkittävimpiin tulovirtoihin. Salibandy on lyhyen lajihistoriansa aikana kasvanut harrastajamäärältään voimakkaasti, mikä on aiheuttanut uudenlaisia vaatimuksia aatteellisina, voittoa tavoittelemattomina yhdistyksinä toimiville salibandyseuroille, joiden toimintaa pyöritetään pääosin vapaaehtoistyön voimin. Toiminnanohjausjärjestelmien, joiden …

Motivational Challenges of Engineers Participating in an Online Upskilling Program

2022

The present powerful surge of available online learning platforms will provide employees with enhanced opportunities to rapidly develop their skills, regardless of time and place. Despite the potential, there are challenges for participants on online learning platforms to finalise the courses they engage in. The reasons for the high number of students dropping out before completion of the course are motivational, social, and technological. Studies show that large skill gaps exist among industry employees worldwide. It is often caused by the implementation of new technologies, digitalization, as well as increasing requirements on sustainability and resilience. E-learning provides a major opp…

We are “not” too (young/old) to collaborate : Prominent Key Barriers to Intergenerational Innovation

2019

In this study, we analyzed the barriers to technology-supported intergenerational innovation to understand better how young and old can collaborate towards global innovations. Researchers in different disciplines have already identified various barriers to intergenerational collaboration. However, barriers are changing depending on the context of collaboration, and difficulties still exist to support intergenerational innovation in global settings. Therefore, we investigated the barriers that emerge when people work with someone decades older or younger. The results of our study have shown what barriers are influenced by age, what barriers exist only for senior and younger adults. The study…

Communication Challenges in CBRN Terrorism Crises : Expert Perceptions

2015

This paper is a follow-up of ‘Terrorism Communication: Characteristics and Emerging Perspectives in the Scientific Literature 2002–2011’, published in JCCM in September 2013, Volume 21, Issue 3. The aim of this paper was to investigate experts' perceptions on communication in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) terrorism crises, including challenges and good practices. This is pursued by means of a qualitative online questionnaire aimed at international crisis communication and crisis management experts. The challenges of communication concerning CBRN terrorism arise from the complexity of such incidents, having to do with the nature of the threat, leading to problematic p…

The long and winding road of enterprise architecture implementation in the Finnish public sector

2018

This thesis examines the implementation of enterprise architecture (EA) in the Finnish public sector. EA is a systematic approach for analysing, visualising, developing and governing the functions and structures of organisations. It describes how organisations businesses, information and systems function as a whole. Research and practice have shown the implementation of EA is challenging and slow to advance. Finland provides a prolific area for research since the use of EA is mandatory in public sector, which is rare amongst countries taking a whole-of-government EA approach. In order to research EA as a method for systemic change, a suitable theoretical framing was necessary. The context, …

Regimes of patriarchy and faith : reflections on challenges in interviewing women and religious minorities in Pakistan

2023

PurposeThis paper discusses the challenges that two doctoral researchers faced while researching religious minorities and women in a culturally sensitive society such as Pakistan. Their shared interest in sensitive topics related to gender and minorities in Pakistan led both researchers to collaborate in this study to provide a better understanding of issues in qualitative research in the same research context. They discuss the challenges of interviewing participants within the educational context. They also suggest some ways to overcome such challenges.Design/methodology/approachBased on Foucualt's writings on regimes of truth, discourse and systems of exclusion, the authors in this study …

Ottaa ihmisen vastaan ihmisenä : vanhemmuuden haasteet ja vanhemmuuden tukeminen maahanmuuttajavanhempien ja ammattilaisten kokemana

2017

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää maahanmuuttajavanhempien ja heidän kanssa työtä tekevien ammattilaisten kokemuksia maahanmuuttajien vanhemmuuden haasteista ja vanhemmuuden tukemisesta pikkulapsiperheissä. Lisäksi selvitimme maahanmuuttajavanhempien kokemuksia neuvolasta. Suomessa kyseisiä aiheita on tutkittu vähän, joten koimme tärkeäksi tuoda lisää tutkimustietoa saataville. Aineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla kahdeksaa maahanmuuttajavanhempaa sekä kolmea ammattilaista. Haastattelut toteutettiin toukokuun ja syyskuun välisenä aikana vuonna 2017 ja tutkimus oli laadullinen. Tutkimuksen lähestymistapana sovellettiin fenomenologiaa. Tutkimustulokset osoittivat, että maahanmuuttajavanh…
