Gaining or losing PhDs: What are the effects on firms' linkages with universities?
2023
PhD graduates can help companies transfer knowledge from universities to firms. Scholars have analysed the determinants of PhD recruitment by firms and its effects on their innovation activities. However, little is known about what happens when a firm loses employees with PhDs. The aim of this paper is to compare the effects on the relationships of firms with universities when these firms lose PhDs versus when they hire PhDs to work in R&D. These effects may be symmetrical or non-symmetrical depending on the abilities of firms to retain the connections and knowledge acquired by hiring PhDs. We consider four types of relationships: collaboration with universities, universities as a source of…
Sources of stress and scholarly identity: the case of international doctoral students of education in Finland
2020
AbstractAlthough stressors and coping strategies have been examined in managing stress associated with doctoral education, stress continues to have a permeating and pernicious effect on doctoral students’ experience of their training and, by extension, their future participation in the academic community. International doctoral students have to not only effectively cope with tensions during their training and their socialization in their discipline but also address the values and expectations of higher education institutions in a foreign country. Considering the increase of international doctoral students in Finland, this study focuses on perceived sources of stress in their doctoral traini…
Organisation et conditions de la formation des doctorants dans le cadre de l'université française
2007
This research, refering to the theoretical framework of Pierre Bourdieu, shows that higher education can be considered as a “champ scientifique”, defined as a microcosm, relatively autonomous from the economic and social macrocosm, nevertheless strongly affected by its values and its evolution toward liberalism. This evolution is clearly perceveid in the structural reforms (contractualization, decentralization, increased autonomy...) inferred notably by the construction of the European Higher Education and Research Area. Higher education is structured in a hierarchy with dominating disciplines (mathematics, physique, chemistry...) at the center and, dominated disciplines (Social sciences an…

Building individual expertise in doctoral studies - the significance of everyday experiences and changing contexts
2015
High expectations for skiils are directed at doctors and doctoral students in the fast changing global time. Innovative soiutions to the genuine problems of society are expected of the new doctors. The expectations for skills that accumuIate through the evcryday experiences and difflrent contexts, and the requirements for experts in working life are experienced as partially conllicting by the doctoral students themselves. The expertise of doctoral students is individual — it forms in the long term in difkrent everyday contexts and is built from several individual elemenis. The experienccs and expertise of doctoral students forms diff’erentiy in diffirent contexts. The everyday experiences a…
Tohtoriopiskelija julkaisufoorumeilla: kokemuksia puheviestinnän väitöskirjaa tekevien artikkelipajasta
2010
Artikkelissa esitellään tohtoriopiskelijoille järjestettyä artikkelipajaa. Sen tarkoituksena oli tarjota evästystä sekä väitöskirjaan sisältyvien artikkeleiden että post doc -julkaisujen suunnitteluun ja julkaisufoorumien tutkiskeluun. Taustalla oli kokemus siitä, että artikkeliväitöskirjan ohjausprosessi poikkeaa monin tavoin monografiaväitöskirjan ohjauksesta. Vaikka tohtoriopiskelija sopii ohjaajansa kanssa väitöskirjaan tulevista artikkeleista, voidaan julkaisemiseen liittyvää oppimista tukea yhteisesti järjestettävällä artikkelipajalla. nonPeerReviewed
Typical and Individual Doctoral Processes and Lifecourses: The Types of Narratives of the Project Manager, the Survivor and the Seeker
2015
One task of the doctoral education is, globally as well as nationally, to produce and renew the highest expertise and knowledge in a high quality and efficient way. Even though in this global time the high-quality knowledge and skills are a competition factor which the success of the societies is expected to be able to lean on, also the doctoral students and their individual factors are significant. The accelerating global change is strongly reflected at the individual level: an attempt is made to respond to the changing expectations and to prepare individually and diversely. The individual doctoral students and the graduating doctors come from different everyday lives and contexts. The gra…
Considerations for discontinuing the doctoral studies: towards personal, comprehensive and meaningful solutions
2015
Doctoral studies have become more popular and commonplace globally. Great expectations and effectiveness pressures are directed at doctoral education and the doctors, at the same time the doctoral students' multi-dimensional individuality is easily lost. Also, the doctoral students' motives to begin their studies and their future outlook have diversified. The reasons to begin a thesis project are not necessarily the burning enthusiasm for research and the desire for knowledge but are instead more ordinary. The diminishing of the internal motivation as the reason to begin the doctoral studies is also reflected in the attitudes of the participants towards the process. In the article, I examin…
