Building educational capabilities through information technology in developing countries
2014
There is one aspect of globalization of IT work that appears only in fleeting glimpses in the mainstream IS literature and is sidelined in the discourse in general. If global IT work is painted mainly as outsourcing IT-infused work from developed countries to poorer countries (euphemistically referred to as "low income countries"), shouldn't the development of capabilities in these very same less-developed countries be a vital cog? Simply put, if these countries do not have a capable workforce, IT work, or any other work for that matter, cannot be outsourced to these countries. The question then is how can capabilities be developed in developing countries? In this research-in-progress paper…
A Review of Building Information Modelling for Construction in Developing Countries

Examples of issues preventing BIM adoption include a shortage of IT - literate personnel as wel…
New Forms of Work in the Light of Globalization in Software Development
2009
Globalization in software development introduced significant changes in the way organizations operate today. Software is nowadays produced by team members from geographically, temporally and culturally remote sites. Organizations seek for benefits that global market offers and face new challenges. Naturally resistant to change, these organizations often do not realize necessity for tailoring existing methods for distributed collaboration. Our empirical investigation shows a great variety in the ways organizations distribute responsibilities across remote sites and conclude that these can be divided into two main categories: joint collaboration that requires investments in team building and …
Morally Successful Collaboration between Academia and Industry — A Case of a Project Course
2006
Academia-industry collaboration is common in the IT-field, and it includes training programs, research centre activities, and industry advisory boards (Watson and Huber 2000). For the industry, co-operation provides possibilities to acquire human resources and, for the academia, co-operation ensures that research and teaching activities are relevant. Regardless of its popularity little is known about moral issues relating to this phenomenon. This study intends to fill the gap in knowledge by determining the nature of moral conflicts perceived by clients, students, and instructors of a collaborative project course, and by formulating a framework to successfully getting grips with these confl…
CEOs’ Joy of Working for the Family Firm: The Role of Psychological Ownership and Stewardship Behavior
2021
Abstract In this article, we examine the factors which lead to CEOs’ joy of working for the family firm, as it is expected to contribute to their willingness to invest in its perpetuation and success. We focus on three such factors: CEOs’ collective psychological ownership, their individual psychological ownership, and CEOs’ stewardship behavior. We find that on the one hand, the relationship between CEOs’ collective psychological ownership and their joy of working for the family business is mediated by their stewardship behavior, and on the other hand, stewardship behavior mediates the relationship between CEOs’ individual psychological ownership and their joy of work. We make valuable con…

2009
En los últimos años el uso por parte de las empresas de la estrategia de outsourcing en sus dos vertientes (nacional e internacional)1 está siendo una práctica habitual en los países desarrollados, especialmente en los sectores manufactureros tradicionales. Dado el desarrollo experimentado y las implicaciones técnico-productivas y sociales que se derivan de su implementación, en este trabajo analizamos cuál ha sido la tendencia de esa estrategia en estos sectores durante el periodo 1985-2004 y contrastamos qué relación existe entre ésta y dos de sus principales factores determinantes: el tamaño y la experiencia internacional. De los resultados más generales se desprende que el outsourcing m…
Ethical Demands and Responsibilities in Online Publishing: The Finnish Experience
2014
Rapid advancement of online communication and publishing poses new challenges to media policy-makers and regulators for both statutory regulation and self-regulation. For journalists, ‘the Internet shapes and redefines a number of moral and ethical issues … when operating online or making use of online resources’ (Deuze and Yeshua, 2001: 276).
Determinants of Chairman Compensation
2011
This study examines determinants of chairman compensation in a supervisory board setting and, specifically, the relationship between chairman and CEO compensation. Using a sample of publicly listed firms in Sweden, the study indicates that chairman compensation – despite its fixed nature – is reflective of firm performance via a positive relationship to CEO compensation. As CEO compensation is set before chairman compensation, we argue that the chairman may be inclined to conspire with the CEO in earnings management efforts at the expense of monitoring on behalf of investors. Supporting our argument, we find evidence that the gap between chairman and CEO compensation is less at firms where …
