Najnowsze technologie i zarządzanie granicami zewnętrznymi Unii Europejskiej
2020
Artykuł koncentruje się na normatywnym, instytucjonalnym i operacyjnym projekcie Unii Europejskiej jako obszarze, w którym znaczna część bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego jest zapewniana właśnie przez najnowsze technologie i wielkoskalowe systemy informacyjne. Następnie przechodzi się do analizy wyzwań prawnych wynikających z tworzenia systemu tzw. inteligentnych granic (ang. smart borders), tj. granic opartych na zautomatyzowanej kontroli granicznej oraz interoperacyjności wszystkich wielkoskalowych systemów informatycznych. W artykule stawia się dwa zasadnicze pytania badawcze. Po pierwsze, jak te nowe zjawiska wpływają na skuteczne zarządzanie granicami zewnętrznymi w UE? Po drugie, czy istnie…

Contingent reward leader behaviour: Where does it come from?
2010
As many academics have pointed out, while researchers have learned a great deal about the effects of contingent reward (CR) leader behaviour, relatively little is known about its genesis. CR transactional leadership is traditionally viewed as an independent variable which exerts influence downstream. However, if we are to understand how to influence, improve or modify these downstream effects, we need to shift our focus upstream towards the study of transactional leadership as a dependent variable. In line with this reasoning, we put forward the hypothesis that a contextual variable (organizational learning capability) and a subordinate's characteristic (employability) are antecedents of CR…
How value and trust influence loyalty in wireless telecommunications industry
2012
Despite making significant investments in enhancing the customer service experience, long-term customer loyalty remains an elusive dream for many service providers. Particularly in the telecommunications industry, switching providers even from within continuous contract relationships is easy and companies struggle to retain their customers. Trust and value are considered cornerstones of long-term relationships, so it is perhaps surprising that previous research on how relationship age and usage level actually affect value, trust and loyalty is inconclusive. The current research is set in the telecommunications services field and draws on a large-scale survey undertaken in Finland. The findi…
A new project management approach for R&D software projects in the automotive industry - continuous V-model
2017
Most current work activities in R&D centres are innovative and dynamic, with project management acting as the discipline that governs them. The improvement of PM methods has become a necessity due to the following main factors: classical methodologies are increasingly difficult to apply, cutbacks in project duration are requested by organisations and customers, demands for product quality are continuously expanding. The paper examines how PM concepts are used in developed R&D projects, based on the V-model approach. It also introduces an enhanced new approach called Continuous V-model - CVM, based on agile concepts. The model has been applied on a real automotive R&D project and the resulte…
Growing pains and blessings: Manifestations and implications of equity crowdfunding industry maturation
2022
The equity crowdfunding industry has grown significantly in the past decade. Industry life cycle theory suggests that growth dynamics and relations between stakeholders change as industries mature. The present study examines the characteristics and implications of maturation in the equity crowdfunding industry via the lens of industry life cycle theory. Specifically, we explore whether the industry is reverting to traditional entrepreneurial finance practice, or whether it retains its original distinguishing characteristics. Accordingly, we first assess changes with respect to users (investors) and products (campaigns and investment objects). Second, we assess the implications of these chan…
Chasing Metaverses: Reflecting on Existing Literature to Understand the Business Value of Metaverses
2022
AbstractMetaverses refer to immersive virtual worlds in which people, places, and things of the physical world are represented by their digital representations. The wide adoption of metaverses is expected to widely disrupt the way we interact in the virtual world by elevating our online interactive experiences and bringing a plethora of implications for businesses. Following a structured literature review of related research published in the last decade, we shed light on our current understanding of metaverses and reflect on the potentially transformative value of metaverses for businesses in the near future. We draw on an established research framework to organize the insights of existing …
Exploring the relationship between big data analytics capability and competitive performance : The mediating roles of dynamic and operational capabil…
2020
A central question for information systems (IS) researchers and practitioners is if, and how, big data can help attain a competitive advantage. To address this question, this study draws on the resource-based view, dynamic capabilities view, and on recent literature on big data analytics, and examines the indirect relationship between a firm’s big data analytics capability (BDAC) and competitive performance. The study extends existing research by proposing that BDACs enable firms to generate insight that can help strengthen their dynamic capabilities, which, in turn, positively impact marketing and technological capabilities. To test our proposed research model, we used survey data from 202…

A Multiple Case Study of Artificial Intelligent System Development in Industry
2020
There is a rapidly increasing amount of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems developed in recent years, with much expectation on its capacity of innovation and business value generation. However, the promised value of AI systems in specific business contexts might not be understood, and further integrated into the development processes. We wanted to understand how software engineering processes and practices can be applied to develop AI systems in a fast-faced, business-driven manner. As the first step, we explored contextual factors of AI development and the connections between AI developments to business opportunities. We conducted 12 semi-structured interviews in seven companies in Brazi…
