A land of mystical beauty, living wonder and unrivalled adventure : representation of New Zealand through adventure tourism websites
2009
Matkailu on yksi suurimmista elinkeinoista maailmassa, ja se on kasvanut huomattavalla vauhdilla viimeisten vuosikymmenten aikana. Myös Uudessa-Seelannissa matkailu on yksi maan tärkeimmistä elinkeinoaloista ja työllistäjistä. Uudesta-Seelannista löytyy useita erilaisiin aktiviteetteihin erikoistuneita matkailuyrityksiä. Seikkailumatkailulla on merkittävä rooli matkailussa, esimerkiksi benji-hypystä on tullut yksi maan matkailuikoneista. Tässä tutkimuksessa keskiössä oli seikkailumatkailun rooli Uuden- Seelannin matkailullisen imagon luomisessa. Internet tarjoaa nykypäivänä tärkeän markkinointikanavan, erityisesti matkailuyrityksille. Matkailuesitteiden määrä ja merkitys on vähentynyt huom…
El conocimiento como recurso estratégico para el aprendizaje interorganizativo
2012
Las empresas se enfrentan a un entorno muy competitivo, en donde la posesión de conocimiento es vital para su supervivencia. Estamos en la era del conocimiento. En este sentido, el presente artículo plantea dos objetivos, primero plantea analizar las características del conocimiento relevantes para considerarlo como recurso estratégico, como son la complejidad, la codificación y la especificidad.

Para ello, por un lado, se estudiaron sus dimensiones, usando una epistemología pluralista, y por otro, las …

External knowledge sourcing for R&D activities: antecedents and implications of governance mode choice
2014
This paper investigates how internal and external factors affect the choice between alliances and joint ventures (A&JVs) and mergers and acquisitions (M&As) for the external sourcing of research and development (R&D) activities, and whether or not such a choice is really con- tingent, that is, is it the best choice in terms of its impact on firms’ innovative performance under those circumstances? We build a set of hypotheses based on both the transaction-cost theory and the resource-based view, and test them through a secondary data source analy- sis. We found that companies adopt either R&D M&A or A&JV depending on internal (e.g. resources and capabilities, innovation experience) and exter…
A critical re-examination of the academic literature on venture capital networks
2020
This paper proposes a critical re-examination of the recent trends of the literature on venture capital networks. This brief review thoroughly scrutinises three papers that are representative of the recent academic literature in this field of study. I identify their points of strength and limitations, in order to pave the way for future research. This paper shows that the study of network weak and informal ties and the role of risk management strategies are promising areas for pushing the frontiers of research on venture capital networks. Extending our knowledge on this topic is crucial to understand the best strategic decisions venture capital firms should take, as parts of an inter-organi…

Immersive gaming as journalism
2021
This chapter discusses immersion and how it may be applied to journalism. It begins by unraveling the concept of immersion itself as a reminder that it is not only connected to virtual reality or augmented reality technologies, but rather that it is a multifaceted concept that may be understood in many ways. The chapter turns specifically to the theorizing done in the context of digital games research, where immersion and some related concepts have been explored in detail over the last decades. This theorizing helps us see how immersion can be understood and in what way the concept may be problematic. The chapter maps out some of the historical precedents for immersion, discusses alternativ…
