Case study of why information security investment fail?
2015
Tämä tutkielma keskittyy tietoturvainvestointien päätöksentekoprosessiin. Ta- voitteena on tutkia miksi tietoturvainvestointipäätös hylätään. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen tausta perustuu aiemmin suoritettuun tutkimukseen, mikä on pää- osin käsitellyt tietoturvainvestointeja joko optimaalisen investointitason näkö- kulmasta, tai tehokkaan investointitason näkökulmasta. Aiempi tutkimus ei ole käsitellyt tietoturvainvestointeja epäonnistuneen päätöksenteon näkökulmasta, eikä siten voi esittää perusteluita päätöksenteolle. Tämän tutkielman tuloksena esitetään teoreettisia väittämiä, jotka tarjoavat mahdollisia vastauksia tutki- muskysymykseen. Tämä tutkimus täydentää osaltaan akateemista kirjallisu…
The determinants affecting on the investment proposals adoption
2016
Tietoturvallisuuden tutkimuksessa ei ole kyetty tunnistamaan tekijöitä, jotka vaikuttavat tietoturvallisuusaloitteiden onnistumiseen. Teoreettinen tutkimus lähestyy haastetta tarkastelemalla olemassa olevia tietotekniikan ja tietojärjestelmien tutkimusta yritysympäristössä. Aloitteiden hyväksymiseen vaikuttavat tekijät määritettiin kolmeksi kategoriaksi. Tietoturvallisuusaloitteisiin vaikuttavien tekijöiden tunnistamisen ohella tutkimusmenetelmän vaikutus tuloksiin on käsitelty. Useita suosituksia ilmiön jatkotutkimukselle sekä tutkimusmenetelmän kehittämiselle on esitetty. Information security field lacks of understanding of how to succeed with in-vestments proposals. This theoretical stud…
Oman elämänsä prinsessa : häät kulttuurissa ja naisten ajatuksissa
2008
Tutkimus avaa näkökulmia ymmärtää häitä ja häiden juhlintaa kulttuurisena ilmiönä. Häät olen rajannut tässä tutkimuksessa tarkoittamaan nykyaikaisia 2000-luvun alun suomalaisia häitä. Työssä puhun hääjuhlailmiöstä, jolla tarkoitan yhä suureellisempien häiden suosion kasvua 1980-luvulta alkaen. Hääjuhlailmiöön kuuluu yhä suurempien juhlien järjestämisen lisäksi erityisen hääteollisuuden synty, sekä hääaiheisten media- ja kulttuurintuotteiden lisääntyminen ja leviäminen. Työssä pyrin selvittämään suomalaisten nuorten ja nuorehkojen naisten ajatuksia, mielipiteitä, toiveita ja haaveita häistä, sekä peilaamaan näitä siihen, miten hääjuhlailmiö rakentuu esimerkiksi mediassa. Mietin, mistä hääjuh…

An Interview with Zygmunt Bauman: How to Turn the Word into Flesh
2017
Deceased in January this year, the Polish-British sociologist Zygmunt Bauman has left an extremely rich scholarly legacy. In one of his last academic interviews, he refers to the key issues which had been the subject of his in-depth analysis for many years. Bauman starts with reflections on the gap between political authority and power. Next, given his long-standing research into ‘liquid modernity’, he focuses on the vitality of capitalism, which has now adopted a lighter, consumer form. Another thread of the interview is Bauman’s own research attitude, which he refers to as ‘sociological hermeneutics’. It is characterized by his reluctance to use any ‘-isms’ and a profound mistrust of all…
History Matters: Colonial‑Based Connectivity and Foreign Headquarter Location Choice
2022
AbstractIn this study, we argue that European countries’ extensive relationships with former colonies represent a location factor that attracts foreign headquarter investments. The strategic role of foreign headquarters as coordinators, opportunity detectors, and global bridgeheads makes the location choice of headquarter activities sensitive to historical-based institutional connections. Drawing on a sample of 2230 foreign headquarter investments in Europe, we find that the stronger the combined effect of historical connections and current economic relationships with former colonies, the higher the probability of attracting headquarter investment projects. We refer to this combined charact…
Economic analysis of the international cooperation to face global environmental problems
2013
Because of the doubts about the effectiveness of the Kyoto Protocol, several scholars have asked whether other types of agreements can be designed to achieve large reductions of GHG emissions. Designing a profitable and stable international environmental agreement (IEA) that deals with the shortcomings of Kyoto-type agreement is the main motivation of this work. One idea would be to focus on technology improvements in order to reduce abatement costs, as this might increase a country's willingness to undertake significant emission reductions. For example, it could be beneficial to supplement a Kyoto-type agreement with technology elements if technological development depends not only on a co…
Cooperation between China, EU and the Baltic States – economic benefits and risks
2020
The study is aimed at exploring the ways to deepen and expand the cooperation between China, EU and the Baltic states within different partnership formats. The authors argue that the strategic political, economic and security risks should be carefully assessed. However potential risks should not be exaggerated and should not overshadow new opportunities of EU – Baltics - China cooperation for growth and jobs creation.
Ķīnas un Baltijas valstu ekonomiskā sadarbība, pašreizējās tendences un nākotnes scenāriji
2022
China and Baltic States have developed economic cooperation under the format of “16+1” (later “17+1” when Greece joined in 2019), where both sides have taken more “open” attitudes and policies to establish closer cooperation in trade and investment. This paper is to research the current trends of the economic cooperation between China and the Baltic States as well as the future scenarios thereof combining economic and political analysis. The trade theory proves economic benefits of liberal trade and investment, therefore, the economic cooperation of China and Baltic States provides growth opportunities for both sides. However, Lithuania has withdrawn its membership of this format in 2021, m…
Contribution à l'étude du slack organisationnel : le cas des dépenses d'investissements dans une grande entreprise industrielle
2012
Contribution to the Study of the Organizational Slack : The Case of Investment Expenditure in a Big Industrial Company This paper contributes to research on organizational slack. The slacks integrated into capital expenditure have been little studied. The economic crisis in 2008-2009 represents a good opportunity to analyze these slacks. A longitudinal case study has been carried out in an industrial company from 2006 to 2010
