Muovipakkaukset, ne on niin syntisiä : tutkimus kuluttajien elintarvikepakkauksista kokemasta arvosta osto- ja käyttöprosessin vaiheissa
2010
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tuottaa ymmärrystä elintarvikepakkauksen roolista kuluttajan kokeman arvon muodostumisessa kussakin osto- ja käyttöprosessin vaiheessa. Tutkimus selvittää myös, millaisia ominaisuuksia kuluttajat pitävät tärkeinä elintarvikepakkauksissa prosessin kuluessa. Tutkielman aineisto kerättiin kvalitatiivisesti narratiivisen tutkimuksen ja teemahaastattelun yhdistelmällä 12 keskustelutilanteessa, ja se analysoitiin rakenneanalyysin avulla. Aineistosta käy ilmi, että kuluttajien kokema arvo elintarvikepakkauksista vaihtelee huomattavasti prosessin aikana, mutta arvon kokeminen on usein alitajuista eivätkä kuluttajat tiedosta pakkauksen merkitystä. Ennen ostoa ja ostohetkel…
Organizational information and communication technologies and their influence on communication visibility and perceived proximity
2021
This study investigates the relationships between the use of various organizational ICTs, communication visibility, and perceived proximity to distant colleagues. In addition, this study examines the interplay between visibility and proximity, to determine whether visibility improves proximity, or vice versa. These relationships are tested in a global company using two waves of panel survey data. ESM use increases communication visibility and perceived proximity, while controlling for prior levels of visibility, proximity, and the use of other organizational ICTs. The influence of ESM on network translucence and perceived proximity is generally stronger than the impact of other technologie…

2011
Nykyinen käsitys vieraiden kielten opettamisesta Suomessa painottaa kielen lisäksi myös kohdekulttuurin tuntemusta. Kielen opetuksessa tulisi huomioida sen kulttuurinen konteksti. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli kartoittaa suomalaisten lukiolaisten kokemuksia ulkomaisesta ystävyyskoulutoiminnasta. Erityisen kiinnostuksen kohteena olivat lukiolaisten motiivit osallistua projektiin, heidän näkemyksensä projektin suunnittelusta ja toteutuksesta, sekä heidän kokemuksensa projektin vaikutuksista kulttuurienväliseen oppimiseen ja kielitaitoon. Työn teoreettisessa osassa tarkastellaan kulttuurienvälistä kompetenssia kansainvälisyyskasvatuksen tavoitteena Suomen lukio-opetussuunnitelmassa ja sen …
Diffusion of Drone Journalism: the Case of Finland, 2011-2020
2020
This article details Finnish news organizations’ adoption of drones for journalistic purposes from 2011 to 2020. The theoretical starting point of the article is Rogers’ (1962) diffusion of innovations theory, which explains how new ideas and technologies spread in societies. The main empirical data for the study were derived from a phone survey conducted among the 80 most popular newspapers in Finland. The findings reveal that drone journalism in Finland has already diffused from a few pioneering organizations to a large number of newsrooms, including regional, mid-sized newspapers. Most of the newspapers are either using in-house drones, buying commissioned images, or using both strategie…

Female style vs. male style or something in between? : a case study on gendered communication on the Humans of New York Facebook page
2015
Sosiaalinen media on viime vuosikymmenen aikana mullistanut internetin avulla tapahtuvaa viestintää ja sen tuomia uusia mullistuksia onkin tutkittu tieteellisesti paljon viime aikoina. Sukupuolen ja kielen roolia sosiaalisen median myllerryksessä ei viestinnällisestä näkökulmasta kuitenkaan ole tutkittu kovin paljon ja siksi tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa, millaista naisten ja miesten kielenkäyttö on nykyään internetissä ja miten se peilautuu aiempien tutkimustulosten valossa. Tutkimuksen aineisto koostui 170 tavallisten ihmisten kirjoittamista kommenteista, jotka valittiin suositulta Humans of New York Facebook-sivulta tammikuun 2015 aikana. Nämä kommentit jaettiin laadulli…
