Population targeted requirements acquisition
2018
ABSTRACTWe use social science theories, design science research methodology, and our experience in five development projects to design principles for selecting or adapting requirements acquisition (RA) techniques for use with populations of customers and users. The information systems (IS) literature has not systematically focused on the adaption of RA techniques to particular populations. We developed a nascent design theory for RA to target specific populations to define functional requirements for new IS. Five reference theories – personal construct theory, theory of disability, diffusion of innovations, social actor theory, and media richness and information synchronicity theory – suppo…
How to measure students’ innovation competences in higher education : Evaluation of an assessment tool in authentic learning environments
2018
Abstract In all sectors of the economy, the importance of innovation is underlined. Although education plays a central role in the development of human innovation skills, several studies suggest that higher education institutions cannot fulfill these demands. In such, there is a need to update pedagogical practices and develop assessment tools to measure and develop a person’s innovation capacity. The aim of this study is to test and evaluate the functioning of the earlier developed assessment tool to measure students’ innovation competences in the authentic learning environments of Finnish higher education institutions. The electronic self-assessment questionnaire was distributed to studen…
Technology-Mediated Communication in the Workplace
2019
Technology-mediated communication has become an integral part of work and the workplace. Since the early days of digital communication technology, views of both the affordances and uses of communication technology have become more varied and complex. Understanding the reality of communication technology at work means taking into account its ubiquitous and ever-changing nature as well as the interpersonal relationships and social networks in which it is used. This chapter explores the ways in which communication technology relates to building mutual understanding and trust as well as managing networks and coworker relationships. Knowledge of these key issues is used to present ideas about ho…
Digital innovations in rural micro-enterprises
2020
Digitalization gives micro-enterprises and rural areas new possibilities and it can support their competitiveness. In this paper, we have presented one way of supporting the diffusion and adoption of digital innovations in rural micro-enterprises. First, we examined the challenges and digital competence of the micro-enterprises in the rural areas of Central Finland to better understand what they needed. The second step was to develop a workshop concept. Theories of innovation diffusion and adoption were used as a base for these workshops. The last step was to evaluate the developed concept, its effects and challenges. We found that the workshop concept worked well for spreading information,…
Supporting Creativity and Learning at Work : Practices and Structures from Growth Companies
2021
The constant change embedded in contemporary working life requires employees and organisations alike to continuously learn and, simultaneously, adapt and be creative. The potential to attract, manage and engage creative people, as well as support learning, has become increasingly important in organisational contexts. It is essential to recognise what the underlying learning theories are and how they connect with the current understanding of creativity. It is also important to study different manifestations of creativity and learning and reactively and proactively discover ways of supporting and developing both aspects in contemporary organisations. In this chapter, we first present our appr…
Extending the international new venture phenomenon to digital platform providers : A longitudinal case study
2018
People increasingly interact with services enabled by digital platforms. This has been a consequence of the digitalization of artifacts, which has transmuted traditional businesses into digital forms. With the increasing digitalization and modularization of services, digital platforms have given many digital service providers possibilities to scale globally, and to rapidly transcend national borders by serving multi-sided markets. However, we still know very little about how digital platform providers actually internationalize their services, or how they make their platforms available for global markets. In this paper, we contribute to the increasing literature on digital-based INVs, examin…
On the influence of national culture on knowledge sharing
2013
Organisaatioiden välinen kilpailu on koventunut viime vuosikymmeninä globalisoitumisen takia. Myös kansainvälisyys on lisääntynyt. Uusien innovaatioiden avulla voidaan parantaa yritysten kilpailukykyä. Tästä syystä yrityksien ja organisaatioiden tulisi kiinnittää huomioita uusien innovaatioiden luomiseen. Tietämyksen jakamisella ja innovaatiokyvykkyydellä on osoitettu olevan positiivinen yhteys. Tähän perustaen tietämyksen jakamiseen pitäisi kiinnittää enemmän huomiota. Kuitenkin nykyiset tietämyksen jakamisen teoriat ovat joko liian abstrakteja tai jättävät relevantteja osa-alueita teorian ulkopuolelle, jonka syystä ne eivät ole hyödyllisiä akatemian ulkopuolella. Tässä pro gradu – työssä …
Ahdistaako koululiikunta? : yhdeksäsluokkalaisten ahdistuneisuuskokemukset koulun liikuntatunneilla
2014
TIIVISTELMÄ Lari Sädekoski (2014). Ahdistaako koululiikunta? Yhdeksäsluokkalaisten ahdistuneisuusko-kemukset koulun liikuntatunneilla. Liikuntakasvatuksen laitos. Jyväskylän Yliopisto. Liikunta-pedagogiikan pro gradu – tutkielma. 79 s, 2 liitettä. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää peruskoulun yhdeksäsluokkalaisten tyttöjen ja poikien kokemaa tilanneahdistuneisuutta koulun liikuntatunneilla. Aihe on tärkeä, koska vielä murros-iässä elävät yläkouluikäiset nuoret ovat alttiita kielteisille kokemuksille, ja yleisesti kouluviih-tyvyys on Suomessa varsin heikkoa. Tilanneahdistuneisuutta mittaavat osa-alueet olivat so-maattinen ja kognitiivinen ahdistuneisuus sekä huolestuneisuus. Tarkoituksen…
Migration in globalized sport : Finnish ice hockey players in Russia
2016
During the last five years the number of Finnish ice hockey players migrating to Russia has significantly increased. Despite this fact scarce research has been done in this field. Moreover, comparing to the progress that has been achieved in other areas of sociology of sport, much more work needs to be done, in sports transnational migration both at a theoretical and empirical level. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how the migration period in Russia is perceived by Finnish professional ice hockey players by exploring and interpreting their personal experiences. More specifically, it is asked in this study for which reasons Finnish ice-hockey players migrate to Russia. Mor…
