Functional and Structural Roles of Data in Service Ecosystems

2023

Data play an increasingly important role in today’s service ecosystems, where actors integrate resources to create value at different levels of aggregation (micro, meso, macro). To advance our understanding of the role of data in such contemporary data-rich service ecosystems, we draw on the service-dominant (S-D) logic and data ecosystem literature. Extending the current understanding of data in the literature, we demonstrate how data and data ecosystems have become intertwined with service ecosystems and how data as a meta-resource connects actors, enhances systemic visibility, and drives innovation in these ecosystems. peerReviewed

Info screens as instruments for value co-creation : case: vehicle inspection industry

2016

Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena on tutkia miten arvo on yhteisluotu autokatsastusasemilla infotaulujen, uusin käyttöönotettu teknologia markkinoinnissa ja palvelun tuottamisessa tapauksen yrityksellä, kautta positiivisen palvelukokemuksen tuottamiseksi. Tutkimus on tulkitseva tapaustutkimus, jonka tiedonkeruu on suoritettu haastattelujen kautta ja analyysissä on käytetty temaattista näkökulmaa, jotta data on pystytty muuttamaan mielekkääksi graafiseksi esitykseksi. Tutkielman tapausyritys on yksityinen katsastusalan toimija, joka tarjoaa katsastuksien lisäksi ajoneuvorekisteröintejä ja kuljettajantutkintoja, muun muassa. Yritys toimii Suomen lisäksi Pohjois-Euroopassa. Tutkielman viitekehyksek…

Professionals in value co-creation through digital healthcare services

2018

Digitization is changing the dynamics within the service sector, including healthcare. The customer access to information and new ways of interacting with the customer challenge the traditional service within healthcare featured by information asymmetry and autonomous role of professionals in decision making. Digitization introduces new service concepts and roles of service actors benefiting value cocreation among the service network. Customer actively participates in the digital service process, which sets demand for new approach, behavior and skills of the professional interacting with the customer. The present discussion around value cocreation lacks research from the service provider’s …

Fighting words : representations of dominant masculinity in the interviews of a mixed martial arts champion

2017

Vapaaottelun kasvattaessa suosiotaan kansainvälisesti tunnettuna urheilulajina ovat myös lukuisat vapaaottelijat yhä laajenevan mediahuomion alaisina sekä lisääntyvän julkisen vaikutusvallan käyttäjinä. Näin ollen useille vapaaottelijoille vaikuttaa olevan yhä tärkeämpää esiintyä julkisesti siten, että heidän käytöksensä houkuttelisi mahdollisimman paljon maksavia asiakkaita katsomaan heidän otteluitaan sekä itse ottelutapahtumiin että maksullisten TV- ja internet-palveluiden välityksellä. Tyypillisesti tällainen käytös sisältää oman itsen julkituomista mahdollisimman maskuliinisesti ja itsevarmasti sekä kilpakumppanien esittämistä muun muassa fyysisesti ja urheilullisilta kyvyiltään alempi…

Co‐occurrence patterns in a steppe bird community: insights into the role of dominance and competition

2023

Spatial co-occurrence patterns are determined by environmental factors, such as food availability or habitat characteristics and by biotic associations. When resources are limited, competition which implies a dominant hierarchy can shape species assemblage. Here, we study space and time co-occurrence of steppe passerines during the breeding season in a natural steppe habitat, its modulation by environmental filtering, potential biotic interactions and random processes. We applied the joint species distribution model of hierarchical modelling of species community (HMSC) to data on species presence–absence and environmental, temporal and spatial covariates acquired from seven plots in a natur…

Suppression and Replacement Gene Therapy for Autosomal Dominant Disease in a Murine Model of Dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa

2011

For dominantly inherited disorders development of gene therapies, targeting the primary genetic lesion has been impeded by mutational heterogeneity. An example is rhodopsin-linked autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa with over 150 mutations in the rhodopsin gene. Validation of a mutation-independent suppression and replacement gene therapy for this disorder has been undertaken. The therapy provides a means of correcting the genetic defect in a mutation-independent manner thereby circumventing the mutational diversity. Separate adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors were used to deliver an RNA interference (RNAi)-based rhodopsin suppressor and a codon-modified rhodopsin replacement gene res…

Mutation Analysis of LMX1B Gene in Nail-Patella Syndrome Patients

1998

SummaryNail-patella syndrome (NPS), a pleiotropic disorder exhibiting autosomal dominant inheritance, has been studied for >100 years. Recent evidence shows that NPS is the result of mutations in the LIM-homeodomain gene LMX1B. To determine whether specific LMX1B mutations are associated with different aspects of the NPS phenotype, we screened a cohort of 41 NPS families for LMX1B mutations. A total of 25 mutations were identified in 37 families. The nature of the mutations supports the hypothesis that NPS is the result of haploinsufficiency for LMX1B. There was no evidence of correlation between aspects of the NPS phenotype and specific mutations.

The formation of dominant voice in issue arenas

2011

Abstract The aim of the present study was to map out required changes to current stakeholder thinking in public relations (PR) research and practice for a better suited model for PR professionals. The concept of issue arenas (Luoma-aho & Vos 2009) was adopted for the future direction of stakeholder thinking. Further, a central aspect of PR management on issue arenas is the division of voice – or indirect power – of different players. It was suggested that gaining a dominant voice in an issue arena would facilitate the attainment of organizational goals. Meaning was considered cental in this process. This thesis, focused, on the formation of dominant voice in issue arenas. Two research quest…

Building Strategic Partnerships for Value Co-Creation : A Conceptual Framework for Digital Service Organizations

2023

In today’s competitive, fast-paced, and technology-driven markets, digital service organizations are increasingly forming strategic partnerships to transform their businesses, accelerate innovation opportunities, and offer customers enhanced value. How these partnerships should be built to enable value co-creation and strengthen collaboration between the partner organizations has thus become an important question for research and practice. This research develops a conceptual framework to explain value co-creation in strategic (digital service) partnerships and identifies its key enablers. We contribute to the literature by expanding our understanding of how value co-creation between partner…
