The digitalisation of early childhood education and the generational order in change? Tensions between early childhood educators and children in the …
2017
Viimeisten vuosien aikana päiväkodit ovat olleet nopean teknologisen muutoksen kohteena. Digitaaliset teknologiat, erityisesti tablettitietokoneet, ovat tulleet lyhyen ajan sisällä osaksi varhaiskasvatuksen arkea ja pedagogiikkaa. Artikkelissamme tuomme haastatteluaineiston avulla näkyville teknologian käytön aiheuttamia jännitteitä varhaiskasvatuksessa, kun sekä lapset että lastentarhanopettajat koettavat navigoida muuttuneessa teknologiaympäristössä yksin, yhdessä ja erikseen. Jännitteet vaikuttavat myös varhaiskasvatusinstituution sukupolvijärjestykseen, sillä teknologian äärellä lapset näyttäytyvät aikuisia osaavampana sukupolvena. Artikkeli nostaa näin esille digitaalisen teknologian k…
E-urheilun johtaminen : lähtölaukaus empiiriselle tutkimukselle suomalaisesta näkökulmasta
2018
Esports – as a rapidly growing field of sport, entertainment, and business – offers an interesting arena for leadership research. In this qualitative study, we focus on Finnish esports leadership, considering both the definitions as well as the leadership processes in the professional electronic gaming. Our aim is to chart the terrain and increase understanding of the theme so far little empirically studied, and to open views for further research. This study can be seen as an opening for further empirical research on Finnish esports leadership. Due to scarcity of scientific discussions, a wider selection of literature on leadership research and international esports leadership studies have …
Johtaminen ja tarinankerronta organisaatioissa digitaalisessa vallankumouksessa
2017
Digitalization is the most recent and still ongoing industrial revolution, which challenges the traditional leadership theories while also organizational storytelling needs to be revised. This article summarizes the focal phases of leadership theory development while the focus is particularly on organizational storytelling. The purpose is to reflect leadership (theory and practice) in terms of digitalization by discussing such questions as how digitalization has been taken into cognizance this far and how digitalization will transform organizational storytelling and leadership in the future? Three illustrative empirical cases have been applied with a view to reveal insights on the nature an…
A New Perspective on the Textile and Apparel Industry in the Digital Transformation Era
2022
The textile and apparel (fashion) industry has been influenced by developments in societal socio-cultural and economic structures. Due to a change in people’s preferences from economic functionality to supra-functionality beyond economic value, the fashion industry is at the forefront of digitalization. The growing digitalization in the fashion industry corresponds to digital fashion, which can satisfy the rapid shift in consumers’ preferences. This paper explores the evolving con-cept of innovations in digital fashion in the textile and apparel industry. Specifically, it centers on the evaluation of Amazon’s digital fashion initiatives, which have made the platform the Un…
Transition to Digital Distribution Platforms and Business Model Evolution
2019
How do business models evolve when technology-based firms move from physical distribution channels to digital distribution platforms? This is an important question, since digitalization of distribution platforms provides new opportunities to expand the reach and customer base of technology-based firms. Based on an in-depth multi-case study of four Japanese high-tech firms, we seek to expand our understanding of digital transformation and business model literature. Our findings indicate that that through digital transformation, the case firms’ business models evolved toward more constant interaction with the market, in particular through digital platforms. This interaction includes growing a…
The Design Towards a News Aggregator Subscription Service: Results from An Online Experiment
2021
The newspaper industry is on a quest to discover sustainable business models. Digital subscriptions are stable revenue generators for most publishers. That being said, smaller publishers face challenges. By not having the same resource base to offset costs compared to larger ones, small publishers are in a constant state of financial unpredictability. Another persistent problem among them is the high churn rate of subscriptions (i.e., the cancelation rate), which suggests a value misalignment between readers and service. New services like news aggregators may promise publishers a large pool of paying readers, as readers have access to diverse content by different publishers and are willing …
Digitalization and Evolution of Business Model Pathways Among Japanese Software SMEs
2019
This chapter analyzes five Japanese software small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to better understand how their decision-making pathways inside the organization evolve as they develop new business models. Event-state mapping method was applied to analyze the business model pathways of the case firms. We found that once triggered, pathways included various actors and a series of steps until an outcome, the new business model, was reached. The findings indicate that the decision pathways to new models became increasingly complex over the years and the number of individuals and teams involved increases as business model evolved further. peerReviewed
Digitalisaation luomat mahdollisuudet : ohjelmistoyritysten näkemyksiä tarvittavista kyvykkyyksistä
2017
Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, mitä digitalisaatio-ilmiöllä tarkoitetaan ja minkälaisia kyvykkyyksiä organisaatiot tarvitsevat siinä menestyäkseen. Tutkimuksen lähtökohtana ja tarkoituksena oli selvittää, minkälaisia erilaisia tietoja, taitoja, osaamista ja kilpailukykyä tuottavia tekijöitä eli kyvykkyyksiä nykypäivän ohjelmistoyritykset tarvitsevat, jotta ne voivat menestyä kilpailijoitaan paremmin nyky-yhteiskunnan digitaalisessa liiketoimintaympäristössä. Tutkimuksen kohteena oli digitalisaatio ja näkökulmana sen tarkasteluun kyvykkyydet. Tutkimuskysymys oli täten: mitä digitalisaatio on, mitä mahdollisuuksia se tuo ja mitkä ovat merkittävimmät tarvittavat digitaaliset kyvykkyydet? Kvalitat…
Adoption of digital innovations in rural enterprises during COVID-19
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly affected the operating conditions of enterprises. Traditional customers and operational models are changing radically in the short term. Digitalisation and digital methods provide an opportunity to re-organise working methods and create a new kind of business to replace old methods and business models. Compared to urban enterprises, rural enterprises have less experience with digital tools and are less likely to adopt digital innovations. This makes rural enterprises especially vulnerable. The purpose of this study is to provide insights into how micro-enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises in rural areas have addressed the COVID-19 pandemic, th…
Digitalisaatio liiketoimintamallin ja strategian muovaajana
2017
Digitalisaatiosta ja sen vaikutuksista puhutaan paljon, mutta tarkempaa tutkimusta aiheesta on vielä toistaiseksi kohtalaisen niukasti. Tässä pro gradu-tutkielmassa tutkitaan digitalisaation luomia vaikutuksia liiketoimintamallissa ja strategiassa. Tutkielman kirjallisuuskatsauksessa perehdytään tarkemmin tämänhetkisiin tutkimuksiin digitalisaatiosta, sen määritelmästä ja vaikutuksista. Liiketoimintamallia ja strategiaa tarkastellaan ja kirjallisuuteen perustuen pyritään jäsentämään digitalisaation vaikutuksia näihin. Kirjallisuuskatsauksen pohjalta luodaan viitekehys tutkimuksen empiiriselle osiolle, jossa laadullista tapaustutkimusta käyttäen tarkastellaan kohdeorganisaatioiden edustajien…
