Nuorten, valtion vai markkinoiden asialla? : nuorisojärjestöjen hybridit toimintalogiikat
2018
Suomalaiselle kolmannelle sektorille on ollut tyypillistä, että toiminta perustuu kansalaisten vapaaehtoiseen toimintaan yhdistysten jäseninä. Viimeaikaisen tutkimuksen mukaan kolmannen sektorin järjestöt näyttävät kuitenkin omaksuvan piirteitä julkiselta ja yksityiseltä sektorilta eli hybridisoituvan. Tässä tutkimuksessa ilmiötä tarkastellaan yhden järjestöryhmän näkökulmasta. Pääkysymykset ovat, miten valtakunnalliset nuorisojärjestöt määrittävät itsensä kolmannen sektorin järjestöinä ja nuorisotyön kentän toimijoina sekä millaiset institutionaaliset logiikat vaikuttavat niiden määrittelyihin itsestään. Tutkimuksen aineistona käytetään valtakunnallisille nuorisojärjestöille tehdyn kyselyn…
Institutional perspectives in transition : research groups’ profiles and embeddedness in organisational and national context
2019
Research into differentiation and profiling of knowledge producing institutions through the lenses of institutional logics and field embeddedness have proliferated in recent years. By discussing this process in the context of research groups, as those basic units in which knowledge production epistemically and practically takes place, this article offers a contribution to the theoretical discussion on organisational differentiation. Based on a small-N comparative case study of research groups operating in different national and organisational contexts on a single, highly competitive and interdisciplinary applied sciences field, nanosciences, the article proposes research group profiles as h…
Institutional Logics and the Internationalization of a State-Owned Enterprise : Evaluation of International Venture Opportunities by Telecom Finland …
2020
We contribute to the research on internationalization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) by studying the coevolution of state governance of SOEs and SOEs’ evaluation of international venture opportunities during a shift in dominant institutional logic from state to market logic. Using a novel digital historical method to study Telecom Finland, we argue that as state governance mechanisms change due to a logic shift, rationales underlying SOEs’ internationalization can significantly change and impact SOEs’ geographical and partner preferences. However, a logic shift also affords SOEs significant influence over the formation of new state governance policies under the new dominant logic. peerRe…
Accelerating the Americanization of Management Education
2015
The Journal of Management Inquiry astutely predicted in 2004 that the Americanization of business education would not just continue but increase. Ten years later, it is arguable that the acceleration of the Americanization of management education has exceeded all expectations. To theoretically build toward understanding how and why the American business education model has been adopted to different extents, this comparative study builds on the institutional logics perspective, arguing that different institutional logics can potentially explain the various forms and patterns of Americanization and how they are manifested in the world’s business schools.
Competing institutional logics in Soviet industrial location policy
2018
The Soviet legacy has been widely demonstrated to have had negative impacts on the regional and economic development of Russia. This article studies the mechanisms of competing institutional logics in Soviet industrial location policies as a source of this adverse heritage. The results indicate that prolonged competition between three institutional logics complicated the adoption and practice of consistent industrial location strategies and contributed to structural problems in economic geography. An analysis of Soviet institutional logics demonstrates parallel forms of competition and coexistence with findings from other institutional environments, paving the way for a broader theoretical …
Playful approaches to news engagement
2020
From crossword puzzles and quizzes to more complex gamification strategies and serious newsgames, legacy media has long explored ways to deploy playful approaches to deliver their content and engage with the audience. We examine how news and games fit together when news organizations, game creators and news audiences welcome gameful forms of communication and participation. Moreover, we reflect on the theoretical and empirical significance of merging news with games as a way to reformulate normative assumptions, production practices and consumption patterns. As a result, the boundaries between journalism and game’s logics start to erode, and they begin to find new ways of converging.
