Open Science in the digital era
2021
Advances in digital technologies have disrupted the established openness of the institution of open science in the digital era. They have introduced unprecedented possibilities and challenges to instantly, interactively, collaboratively, and responsibly perform science around the world. This doctoral dissertation is aimed at a philosophical, sociological, and economic conceptualization of the normative structure of open science in the digital era, as well as revealing its impact on the established governance of research and innovation at universities. I present a systematic literature review and two empirical studies on how new digital technologies and tools, together with new open physical…
Review article: recommended reading list of early publications on atomic layer deposition - outcome of the "virtual Project on the History of ALD"
2017
Atomic layer deposition (ALD), a gas-phase thin film deposition technique based on repeated, self-terminating gas-solid reactions, has become the method of choice in semiconductor manufacturing and many other technological areas for depositing thin conformal inorganic material layers for various applications. ALD has been discovered and developed independently, at least twice, under different names: atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) and molecular layering. ALE, dating back to 1974 in Finland, has been commonly known as the origin of ALD, while work done since the 1960s in the Soviet Union under the name "molecular layering" (and sometimes other names) has remained much less known. The virtual proj…
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…

Teaching and Learning Systems Thinking: What, Why, When, Where, Who, What For, How?
2017
Currently everybody needs to be educated for lifelong time, so we have to be careful what we put in the education programs, and when, in order to create a systems thinking acquired culture and an ethical holistic behaviour.
New forms of urban and social sustainability: ICTs in the design of smart cities
2014
A new design of the city, that one of the smart city, is evolving implying the frequent involvement of the technological and social field, in order to make urban spaces more sustainable. The development of new information and communication technologies (ICTs), follows the growth and evolution of the city through the monitoring of the multiplicity of sectors that build urban form: economy, education, policy, environment and society. The objective of the research is to identify urban practices that have led to better results in the fields of mobility, environment and social cooperation, highlighting the different methodologies of ICTs’ application.
Guanxi, performance and innovation in entrepreneurial service projects.
2012
This paper analyzes the role played by two dimensions of entrepreneurs’ private social capital in the survival, growth and innovativeness of entrepreneurial service ventures: local size and preferential attachment degree. We build a bi-dimensional measure of social capital based on network models and a methodology to estimate this measure for any group of entrepreneurs. Based on a survey of service entrepreneurs who launched their business in the city of Shanghai, we show that roles played by each dimension are quite different. A large local size of the network increases the chances of survival of the new venture. However, the chance to become a dynamic venture is only related to entreprene…
Edukacja jutra determinanty przemian systemu edukacji w Polsce i na Ukrainie
2016
W artykule przedstawiono problemy edukacji jutra w Polsce i na Ukrainie. Zdefiniowano problemy ukraińskiego systemu edukacyjnego,utrudniające rozwój jednostki i społeczeństwa. Przeanalizowano przyczyny niestosowania właściwego podejścia do edukacji w programach nauczania i podręcznikach. Zaproponowano zmianę podstawowych aspektów polskiej i ukraińskiej edukacji, aby mogły sprostać wymaganiom współczesnego świata. Konkludując zaprezentowaną refleksję, raz jeszcze należy przypomnieć,iż współczesne przemiany edukacyjne oparte być muszą na ustanawianiu strategii oraz działań szczegółowych w zakresie uczenia się na przestrzeni całego życia. Od powodzenia w realizacji tego przedsięwzięcia zależeć…
Network position and innovation capability in the regional innovation network
2019
This paper investigates the positioning of actors characterized by different natures in a regional innovation network and explores how these actors improve their innovation capabilities by assuming prominence or brokering positions. Innovation capability is widely seen to be the driving force in building regional competitive advantage, therefore investigating how the positioning of actors improves their innovation-related activities is relevant in terms of regional competitiveness. This paper builds on a survey conducted on the Sicilian regional area in Italy. A questionnaire was used to collect data concerning the relationships established between actors and the extent to which these relat…
