Suomalaiset nuoret verkkolehtien kuluttajina

2017

Digitalisaatio on muuttanut rajusti perinteistä lehdistöä sekä sisällöntuottami-sen ja jakelukanavien muuttumisen että uusien alan kilpailijoiden myötä. Samaan aikaan digitalisaation mahdollistamat muut ajanviettotavat ovat vähentäneet lukemista vapaa-ajalla, ja postmoderni, saturoitunut kulutusyhteiskunta on muuttanut kuluttajien arvomaailmaa ja kulutuskäyttäytymistä. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää nuorten kuluttajien asenteita verkkolehdistön tuotteisiin. Digitaaliajalla moniarvoiseen kulutusyhteiskuntaan syntyneet diginatiivit ovat tulevaisuuden kuluttajia. Heidän asenteidensa ja ostoaikeidensa tunteminen on tärkeää kehitettäessä digitaalisia tuotteita ja palveluita. Tutkie…

Change and Control Paradoxes in Mobile Infrastructure Innovation: The Android and iOS Mobile Operating Systems Cases

2012

The advent of the smart phone as a highly complex technology has been accompanied by mobile operating systems (OS), large communities of developers, diverse content providers, and increasingly complex networks, jointly forming digital infrastructures. The multi-faceted and relational character of such digital infrastructures raises issues around how change and control can be conceptualized and understood. We discuss how change and control are paradoxically related in digital infrastructures and how they affect the evolution of such infrastructures. We examine these paradoxes by examining the change in, and competition between, two mobile operating systems: Apple's iOS and Google's Android a…

Designing for performance - a technique for business model estimation

2010

The companies are actively using business modelling to investigate new business opportunities. They are also applying various planning tools to design their processes. Unfortunately, there is a lack of techniques that would link these two planning levels. In this article we propose a technique for operational modelling. The technique aims to analyse the business model from a resource-based viewpoint. It lists the service components and provides means for analysing the extra resources and capabilities needed for producing the service. Operational model also helps in estimating the feasibility of the business ideas: It explicitly defines the metrics for measuring the success of the business m…

Co-evolution between streaming and live music leads a way to the sustainable growth of music industry : Lessons from the US experiences

2017

While digitization of music, particularly streaming services, has gained increasing popularity, it has also led to a steady decline in the revenues of recorded music industry. This is causing strong concern regarding a potential collapse of the music industry comparable to other print media industries such as newspaper and book publishing. However, recent changes in the music industry initiated by a resurgence of the live music industry are giving rise to some expectations for the survival and growth of the music industry. The parallel paths of increasing popularity of streaming services and a resurgence of live music suggest that these two dynamics are working together in a co-evolutionary…

Firms are constantly looking for the ways leading to the competitive advantage creation. In the process of building such an advantage, an important role is assigned to the so-called „resource-based theory of the firm”, which is related to the „resource-based strategic management”. Within the resource-based strategic management, the firm resources are of the key importance in the competitive advantage creation. An important place among the firm resources is occupied by logistics resources, related to logistics understood as a concept of the materials, goods and information flow management. The aim of the study is to identify the possibilities of the logistics resources use in shaping a busin…

Business models for internationalization: an analysis on traditional manufacturing smes

2021

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are a fundamental actor for the economic and social development of nations. However, these companies have poorer survival prospects than large firms (Freeman, Carroll and Hannan, 1983) and find it difficult to grow abroad (Crick and Barr, 2007). In the case of SMEs in traditional manufacturing industries, in addition to the limitations associated with their small size, there are also difficulties in maintaining competitiveness suffered by non-knowledge-intensive companies (Pla-Barber, Villar and Benito-Sarriá, 2020). For this reason, survival problems and barriers to internationalization are even more prevalent in traditional manufacturing SMEs. The…
