Collaborative Business Model Innovation Process for Networked Services

2013

This paper presents a process framework for innovating joint business models (co-BM) for multiple companies. Our framework describes the change management that should be carried out in parallel to the rigorous analysis and development of the business model details. With two illustrative cases we show that fruitful co-BM creation process in networks requires both development of the model itself, but also organizational innovation processes including mutual learning and harmonisation of operations. We claim that by understanding this dual process and its key facets might help (1) to coordinate the practical BM creation projects better and (2) to analyse which BM related decisions contribute o…

Theorizing a one-semester real customer student software project course

2011

Project courses in software engineering education have, roughly speaking, as long a history as the term software engineering itself — about 40 years. Several project course models have been described in the literature, including the research target of the dissertation, a one-semester course where students develop software in small groups for real customers. The long history of the research field constitutes a challenge for new research. The research approach of this dissertation is theorizing in the sense of classical grounded theory. The motivation behind this theorizing approach was the possibility of finding fresh viewpoints in a long-established research field and a need to give structure …

Unravelling the rationalities of childhood cycling promotion

2022

Decrease of children’s independent mobility (CIM) has worried academics, policymakers, educators and other professionals for decades. Research and policy often emphasise that promoting children’s physically active and independent transport modes as cycling is important to achieve better public health, solve environmental challenges and increase related economic benefits. Yet, cycling promotion is not a neutral process and all promotion efforts are derived from latent notions of ‘cyclists’ and ‘cycling’. This paper discusses different rationalities of childhood cycling promotion and the representations of ‘children’ as independent ‘cyclists’ they entail. We argue that in order to efficiently…

Wii-bändi : designing an expressive digital musical interface for therapeutic use with disabled people in a group setting

2011

This thesis presents the developmental prototype of a gesturally controlled digital musical interface. It is called Wii-bändi, as it uses Nintendo Wii controllers to translate the gestures into music, and is constructed specifically for clients with a variety of physical and mental disabilities so that they can use it in a therapeutic group context. It is argued that gestural and emotional expressivity might be based on a theory of vitality affects, and that optimal learnability could be achieved through making use of learning schemas. It then sets out how the interface was created using a methodological approach based on action research, describing the specific contexts that led to the cha…

Planning, implementation and evaluation of a team-building programme in a female youth football team : an action research case study

2015

Antunes, Nuno, 2015. Planning, Implementation and Evaluation of a Team-Building Programme in a Female Youth Football Team: an Action Research Case Study. Master's Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences, University of Jyväskylä. 55 pp It is believed that teams who work well together perform better. Frequently this requires an outside influence, which has been called team-building (TB). TB is a multivariate process and, therefore, should be studied as a multivariate issue. The current study focuses on understanding and describing the use of TB methods rather than directly investigating the effectiveness of the programme. Thus, the purpose was to describe the pla…

Toimintatutkimus mobiiliteknologian yhteistoiminnallisesta käytöstä osana musiikin perusteiden opetusta

2016

Tämän toimintatutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kehittää nykyistä musiikin perusteiden opetusta integroimalla musiikkiteknologian tarkoituksenmukainen käyttö osaksi toiminnallista ja työtavoiltaan monipuolista musiikin perusteiden opetusta. Musiikin perusteiden asiasisällöt ja mobiiliteknologia voivat kannustaa helpommin yksilötason toimintaan ja opiskeluun kuin yhteistoiminnallisuuteen. Tutkimuskysymyksenä on, millä tavalla iPadien yhteistoiminnallinen käyttö on yhteydessä oppilaiden motivaatioon, oppimiseen sekä musiikin teorian ja käytännön tietotaidon integroitumiseen. Musiikin perusteiden opetuksen kehittämisen lisäksi tutkimustehtävänä on tutkijan oman ammatillisen kasvun edistäminen. Tutk…
