Architecture of dissonance : a study on the strategic management process of higher education internationalization
2018
In this study I analyze the neglected notion of organizational architecture in the strategic process of internationalization in the context of higher education. I examine the internationalization process through the development and management of international master’s degree programmes and their relation to the broader strategy of one particular Finnish university. I interviewed acting coordinators and directors of the programmes regarding their view on the administrative work, as well as the structures and resources, related to the programmes. Strategy documents, internal evaluations, and statistics were also analyzed. The omission of an explicit strategy and strategic program for internat…
Impact of supplier-specific investments in inter-organisational information systems on strategic electronic coordination: the moderation effect of bu…
2018
Abstract This paper examines the factors which influence sharing of the strategic information (in other words, electronic coordination) in a buyer–supplier dyad. The antecedents of this coordination are examined rather well in the transaction cost economics (TCE) theory and resource-dependency theory (RDT), while the supply chain management perspective is contemplated. The mentioned frameworks are used in the analysis. However, the research focus is narrowed down to the exploration of the antecedents of information exchange conducted via inter-organisational information systems (IOS). The empirical analysis is based on 198 observations of Norwegian companies operating in different types of …
Viestinnän strateginen rooli organisaatiossa : näkemyksiä viestinnän strategisesta luonteesta ja siihen vaikuttavista tekijöistä
2016
Viestinnän merkitys organisaatiossa korostuu dynaamisessa toimintaympäristössä, sillä viestintäammattilaisen ydinosaamiseen kuuluvat hyvät konfliktin hallintakyvyt sekä sidosryhmätaidot. Silti viestintäammattilaiset joutuvat edelleen paikoittain varjoon organisaation strategisista toimijoista puhuttaessa ja tämä saattaa johtaa esimerkiksi heikompaan budjetointiin sekä vähäisiin vaikuttamismahdollisuuksiin. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli lisätä ymmärrystä strategisen viestinnän käsitteestä ja tuoda tuoreita näkökulmia viestintäammattilaisten asemaan organisaatiossa. Tutkimuskysymyksissä pohdittiin viestintäammattilaisen strategista roolia, strategisen viestinnän määritelmää sekä viestintäammatt…
Eettisesti haastavat tilanteet ja niiden kuormittavuus johtajien työssä: fokusryhmäkeskusteluiden analyysi
2010
Tässä pilottitutkimuksessa tutkittiin laadullisesti johtajien työssään kokemia eettisesti haastavia tilanteita (sisällöt, kontekstit) sekä niissä koettuja ristiriitakokemuksia. Työtilanteita luokiteltiin laadullisen aineiston pohjalta. Aineisto kerättiin 16 suomalaisen johtajan fokusryhmäkeskusteluista (neljä ryhmää). Tulokset osoittivat, että johtajat kohtasivat usein työssään erilaisia eettisesti haastavia tilanteita suhteessa organisaation sidosryhmiin. Näitä sidosryhmiä olivat organisaation toimintaympäristö eli yhteiskunta, asiakkaat, omistajat sekä henkilöstö (johto, kollegat ja alaiset). Haastavien tilanteiden sisällöt jakautuivat viiteen luokkaan: 1) monimutkaiset työtilanteet, 2) r…
Examining the longitudinal relationship between visibility and persistence on stress and technology-assisted supplemental work
2023
This study examines the longitudinal relationship between two affordances of organizational information and communication technologies (ICTs)—that is, visibility and persistence—and individuals’ subjective stress and technology-assisted supplemental work (TASW). We propose that visibility and persistence associated with organizational ICTs are often more aptly construed as probabilities for action, rather than merely possibilities for action. The hypotheses are tested using latent change structural equation modeling drawing on two-wave survey data from 437 employees of a global industrial logistics company headquartered in a Nordic country. The findings highlight that visibility is associat…
Past, present, and future of green product innovation
2021
Firms are under constant pressure from various governmental and nongovernmental agencies to switch from conventional environmentally polluting products to green product innovations (GPIs). However, the relevant research pertaining to GPI has been published in a diverse set of journals that vary in their scope and readership and, therefore, the scholarly contribution to the topic remains largely fragmented. This study has utilised a systematic literature review approach to examine the literary corpus on GPI to paint a holistic picture of its different aspects. The content and thematic analysis of 85 studies resulted in the extraction of seven key research themes: organisational capabilities,…
Required competency in organization
2017
Tässä pro gradu – tutkimuksessa tarkoituksena on selvittää mitä kompenssivaatimuksia data analytiikassa on ja mitkä kompetenssit ovat tärkeimpiä asiakkaalle luodun arvon kannalta. Tutkimuksessa on hyödynnetty mixed method – lähestymistapaa, jossa yhdistetään määrillisen ja laadullisen tutkimuksen elementtejä. Empiirinen tutkimus pohjautuu kirjallisuuskatsauksen tuloksiin. Empiirinen tutkimus toteutettiin sähköisin kyselylomakkein, jotka sisälsivät sekä strukturoituja että avoimia kysymyksiä. Tutkimukseen osallistui 18 henkilöä kolmesta eri yrityksestä. Strukturoitujen kysymysten vastaukset valmisteltiin kuvailevien tilastomenetelmien avulla ja analysoitiin verraten löydöksiä kirjallisuuskat…
Effect of perceived organizational support on psychological capital - A study of IT industries in Indian framework

In today's business environment, positive psychology and social exchange relationship have been attained great interest for research. Psychological Capital (PsyCap) is an individual's positive psychological state of development and is characterized by optimism, hope, resilience and self- efficacy.

Perceived organizational support (POS) indicates the perception of employees that at what extent they are cared and valued by organization. The present study was conducted to identify the relationship between P…

2020
While researchers have thoroughly investigated the impact of supply chain quality integration (SCQI) on competitive performance, they have paid less attention to its possible effects on a firm’s ca...
Governing at the frontier of the European Commission : the case of seconded national officials
2005
Studies of executive institutions have largely dealt separately with national and international executive institutions (IEIs). This study unpacks and repacks four conflicting decision-making dynamics that unfolds at the frontier of IEIs – that is, at the institutional rim where national and international executive institutions meet, interact and collide. The empirical laboratory utilised is seconded national experts in the European Commission. The survey and interview data presented demonstrates that the decision-making behaviour of seconded national experts includes a mix of departmental (portfolio), epistemic (expert) and supranational behaviour. The suspicion early voiced by Coombes (197…
