2016

Tässä työssä tutkittiin pienten ja keskisuurten (PK) yritysten kansainvälistymistä, myyntiä ja verkostoja pienen ja avoimen talouden kontekstissa. Tutkimusaukko perustui tarpeeseen tutkia miten PK -yritykset ja International New Venture (INV) -yritykset kansainvälistyvät, miten verkostoja käytetään tässä prosessissa ja miten toimialan erityispiirteet vaikuttavat käyttäytymiseen.

The Networked Utilisation of Satellite Images and Geospatial Technology in Journalism

2022

Satellite technology has become increasingly affordable and accessible in the past few decades. This has enabled many newsrooms to engage with genuinely remote journalism. This chapter explores the networked nature of satellite journalism and investigates its inclusion of experts and citizens outside newsrooms. Satellite journalism uses satellite-borne technology either as a (1) part of storytelling or (2) source of information. Academic research on the topic is scarce, so this chapter builds a base of knowledge on the contemporary practices, limitations and ethics—as well as directions of future development—of satellite journalism.

Network ties in the international opportunity recognition of family SMEs

2011

The importance of network ties is emphasized in the current literature on opportunity recognition. However, it is unclear how firms with limited bridging networks, such as family SMEs, recognize international opportunities through their network ties. In this case study we found that in gaining foreign market entry, those family SMEs that lack existing network ties recognize opportunities through weak ties formed in international exhibitions. The findings also indicate that rather than being proactive, family SMEs respond reactively to opportunities that emerge coincidentally. The trustfulness of the tie is important when they consider these opportunities and form new ties for internationali…

Dry stone buildings in Sicily. An environmental and territorial resource

2013

Dry stone constructions are widespread throughout many regions across the world, in a wide variety of forms, according to the environmental and socio-economic contexts, and constitute a valuable know-how which is today in danger of disappearing. In Sicily dry stone works have traditionally been used in the area of Val di Noto where they constitute a key character of the landscape, and in the Madonie Mounts in which some policies of enhancement have been recently initiated. In the framework of the Grundtvig programme “La préservation du patrimoine architectural bâti en pierre sèche”, an in-depth analysis of these architectures have been pursued, aiming to create a database inventory. This pa…
