Managing Continuous Digital Service Innovation for Value Co-Creation

2023

Service organizations across various industries are increasingly implementing continuous development methods and practices to transform their digital service innovation and development processes. Consequently, continuous digital service innovation (DSI) has become a way to react to today’s dynamic markets by proposing value to customers quickly while maintaining service quality. However, little is known about how organizations can enable value co-creation (VCC) in their continuous DSI processes. We fill this gap in the literature by focusing on organizational-level continuous DSI processes. Based on findings from 23 industry informants from six Finnish digital service organizations, we pres…

Transformative direction of innovation and measurement of uncaptured GDP in the digital economy

2017

The Internet has dramatically changed business dynamics and our daily lives by providing extraordinary services and welfare never anticipated before. However, productivity in industrialized countries has confronted an apparent decline. The ICT advanced firms and countries are suffering with low marginal productivity of their ICT investments. This reveals the two-faced nature of ICT and productivity paradox in the digital economy. With the progression of technology and transition from commodity- oriented to information society, the consumers’ preferences are believed to be shifted beyond economic value. The digitization has promoted the free and un- monetized consumption of digital goods and…

Implementing sentiment analysis to an open-ended questionnaire: Case study of digitalization in elderly care during COVID-19

2022

[EN] The rise of digital technology has enabled us to utilize even more integrated systems for social and health care, but these systems are often complex and time-consuming to learn for the end users without relevant training or experience. We aim to perform Named Entity Recognition based sentiment analysis using the answers of eldercare workers that have taken a survey about the effects of digitalization on their work. The collection of the panel survey data was carried out in two waves: in 2019 and 2021. For the sentiment analysis we compare these two waves to determine the effects of COVID-19 on the work of eldercare workers. The research questions we ask are the following: “Has technol…

From vernacular accounting to standardized PMS : Logic multiplicity in a cooperative bank

2023

In this chapter we analyze how local member banks shifted from local, vernacular, accounting, and performance measurement systems to centralized and standardized performance measurement systems in a cooperative bank organization. The member banks reduced the use of vernacular accounting systems (VAS) to achieve greater cost-efficiency and to meet regulation requirements, but they still maintained their strong local logics beside the cooperative unity logic, with only minimal or moderate conflict. We suggest that the power of individual actors, i.e., CEOs, affected the balance of these logics, and the way performance measurement (PM) targets were chosen at the local level from the standardiz…

Making Sense or Betting on the Future? : Identifying Antenarratives of AI projects in a Large Financial Organization

2019

The future is uncertain, but what is certain is that we can make sense of the future through our ‘antenarratives’. In this study, I shed light on prospective sensemaking and apply the concept of antenarrative as a framework to identify how strategy practitioners make sense of AI projects. The empirical case organization is a large Finnish financial organization that aims to be a digital leader. The case organization is currently developing and implementing AI in its business operations, a recent and emerging wave in the financial business sector. Following a thematic analysis, the narratives that seem to either reflect positive (that promote) or negative (that impede) changes were examined.…

Information Integration, Coordination Failures, and Quality of Prescribing

2020

Poor information flows hamper coordination, potentially leading to suboptimal decisions in health care. We examine the effects of a nationwide policy of information integration on the quality of prescribing. We use the rollout of an electronic prescribing system in Finland and prescription-level administrative data. We find no effect on the probability of co-prescribing harmful drug combinations in urban regions. In rural regions, this probability reduces substantially, by 35 percent. The effect is driven by prescriptions from unspecialized physicians and from multiple physicians. Improving the local information environment thus enhances coordination and narrows differences in the quality o…

Application of information and communication technology for internationalization of Nigerian small- and medium-sized enterprises

2019

Information and communication technology (ICT) has fundamentally transformed business transactions. While its uses have become ubiquitous in the advanced economies, emerging and developing economies are still struggling with the mode and manner of the deployment of ICT for business. Thus, this study seeks to investigate how small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) utilize ICT in Nigeria for business internationalization. To achieve the goal of the study, a mixed‐method was employed. A questionnaire was administered to 265 people consisting of SMEs staff, managers, and owners. Similarly, interviews were conducted with seven SME decision makers. Findings revealed that Nigerian SMEs used ICT…

Kuvataan kännyköillä! : tutkimus Suomen valokuvataiteen museon yleisötyötoiminnan digitalisoitumisesta

2017

Tässä pro gradu –tutkielmassa tarkastellaan digitalisaation vaikutuksia Suomen valokuvataiteen museon yleisötyötoimintaan. Digitalisaation vaikutusta ilmentää Valokuvataiteen museolla syksyllä 2016 aloitetut kännykkäkuvauskurssit, jotka toimivat tutkimuksen kohteena. Eksploratiivisen tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, miten digitalisaatio on vaikuttanut museon kasvatuksellisiin tavoitteisiin. Aineistona on käytetty kännykkäkurssien kurssikuvauksia sekä dokumentoitua materiaalia, joka liittyy Suomen valokuvataiteen museon menneisiin hankkeisiin, projekteihin, työpajoihin ja muihin yleisötyön puitteissa järjestettyihin tapahtumiin. Tyypiltään laadullisen tutkimuksen analyyttisen viitekehyk…

Tieto- ja viestintäteknologia, tuottavuus ja "luova tuho"

2017

Tieto- ja viestintäteknologia tarjoaa mahdollisuuden kansantalouden tuottavuuden kasvulle. Vaikutuksen nopeus ja voimakkuus riippuvat paljon siitä, kuinka joustavasti talouden rakenteet murrokseen sopeutuvat. nonPeerReviewed
