The role of ICT and high-growth firms : micro-level evidence on job creation and productivity growth
2016
Tässä tutkielmassa analysoidaan kasvuyritysten sekä tieto- ja viestintäteknologian (ICT) kontribuutioita työpaikkojen luomiseen ja työn tuottavuuteen. Suomen talouden kehitys on ollut heikkoa viimeisen vuosikymmenen ajan globaalista finanssikriisistä johtuen. Työttömyys on noussut korkealle tasolle ja työn tuottavuuden kasvu hidastunut, ja lopulta pysähtynyt. Lisäksi on keskusteltu siitä, syntyykö Suomeen uusia työpaikkoja. Tässä tutkielmassa pyritään tarjoamaan empiiriseen tutkimukseen perustuvaa tietoa Suomen talouskasvun lähteistä. Tutkielmassa esitetään kasvuteorian lisäksi kasvuyrittäjyyteen liittyvää teoriataustaa sekä aiempaa kirjallisuutta. Lisäksi esitellään yrityksen elinkaareen l…
University education in Spain and the European Union: Economic effects and social contributions
2018
Las universidades preservan y difunden el conocimiento, actúan como centros intelectuales de orden nacional e internacional, son un instrumento de movilidad social al facilitar que los individuos puedan mejorar sus ingresos y posición social, actúan como motores del desarrollo económico estimulando las economías locales y proporcionan además una educación de carácter general. La sociedad española ha experimentado una transformación sin precedentes en las últimas décadas, siendo uno de los cambios más relevantes el significativo aumento del nivel educativo medio de sus ciudadanos, tanto por la reducción hasta mínimos históricos de la población analfabeta, como por el significativo incremento…
Review of carbon emissions offsetting guidelines using instructional criteria
2023
Abstract Purpose Carbon offsetting is one of the tools that companies can use to achieve their climate targets. The ability of a company to offset its emissions successfully depends on the availability and quality of guidance on the subject. This study explores how well existing offsetting guidelines equip corporations to achieve successful emissions offsetting. Methods Instructional criteria were developed and used to evaluate seven guidelines. The contents of each guideline were assessed based on how they instruct a company to achieve emissions offsetting that fulfills five criteria for appropriate offsetting: target affiliation, Paris compatibility, effectiveness, prioritizing removals, …
The effects of dietary fumonisin B1 on growth and physiology of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
2016
Kalanrehuissa on perinteisesti luotettu kalajauhoon ja -öljyyn rehujen pääasiallisina proteiinin- ja energianlähteinä. Näitä raaka-aineita on nykyään alettu korvata kasviperäisillä ainesosilla niiden edullisemman hinnan ja helpomman saatavuuden vuoksi, esimerkiksi maissilla, vehnällä ja soijalla. Pilaantuneen kasviperäisen raaka-aineen mukana rehuun pääsee haitallisia mykotoksiineja. Mykotoksiinit ovat homesienten sekundäärisiä metaboliatuotteita, joita ne pääasiassa tuottavat kilpailuun muita homeita vastaan, ja joiden on havaittu aiheuttavan kasvun heikentymistä ja sairauksia monilla eri kotieläimillä, mutta niiden vaikutuksista kaloihin tiedetään varsin vähän. Yksi yleisimmistä mykotoksi…
Molecular Subtypes, Metastatic Pattern and Patient Age in Breast Cancer: An Analysis of Italian Network of Cancer Registries (AIRTUM) Data
2021
Breast cancer stage at diagnosis, patient age and molecular tumor subtype influence disease progression. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between these factors and survival in breast cancer patients among the Italian population using data from the AIRTUM national database. We enrolled women with primary breast cancer from 17 population-based cancer registries. Patients were subdivided into older (>69 years), middle (50–69 years) and younger age groups (<50 years) and their primary tumors categorized into four molecular subtypes based on hormone receptor (HR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status. There were 8831 patients diagnosed betwe…
Czy religia utrwala moralną niedojrzałość jednostek ludzkich czy sprzyja rozwojowi ich moralnej dojrzałości?
2022
Jako ludzie doświadczamy swojej skończoności kruchości i bezsilności. Otaczający nas świat jest nietrwały, niestabilny, ulega destrukcji, mamy w nim do czynienie z niepewnością, przemijaniem, chorobami, starością i śmiercią. Religia dostarcza systemu orientacji i oddania, który w sposób całościowy określa porządek świata i miejsce człowieka w nim, wprowadza ład w życie, daje oparcie, nadaje sens ludzkiemu istnieniu, oswaja to, co niepewne, dodaje otuchy, pozwala okiełznać lęk. To dostarczanie systemu orientacji i czci może wzmacniać pierwotne tendencje natury ludzkiej, wzmacniać trybalizm i etnocentryzm. Dzieje się tak, gdy religia spełnia głównie rolę spoiwa dla wspólnoty, a jednostka prze…
Reflections on Human Resources – Vital Intangible Assets of Organizations
2014
Abstract Starting from the reality that human resources represent the most important strategic resource of the modern organization and that each human being is a unique entity, with own personality, needs and offer, the investment in human resources should become the most important investments of organizations, despite being the most risky investments. The only alternative to avoid this risk and to bring together employee and employer on the same level is career management. From a different perspective, human resources represent the intellectual capital of organizations, the only ones that can assimilate and, from the perspective of the new economy, make the most of knowledge. All these asp…
Influencing factors on growth modes change : systematic literature review and future research agenda
2021
Objectives. Inevitable condition of entrepreneurship, firm growth (Gundry & Welsch, 2001), can be understood better if more attention is paid to how companies grow instead of how much they grow (McKelvie & Wiklund, 2010). Research about small firm growth is fragmented. One reason is that the phenomenon has been treated over-simplistically by lacking separation among growth modes (Davidsson & Wiklund, 2000; Gilbert et al., 2006a; Wiklund et al., 2009) and subsequently missing understanding why firms growth and how (Benning & Flatten, 2020; Geuvers, 2016). This led to a predisposition of SMEs growing mainly organically, when in fact empirical studies have shown contradictions (Alemayehu & Van…
Overcoming Barriers to Transnational Organizing Through Identity Work : Finnish-Estonian Trade Union Cooperation
2018
This article analyses a project by Finnish and Estonian unions to adopt ‘organizing model’ strategies through establishing the transnational ‘Baltic Organising Academy’. Initially aimed at Estonian workplaces, successful campaigns inspired Finnish unions to copy the model in Finland. This cooperation was originally motivated by labour market interdependence between the two countries, and the failure of past social-partnership oriented union strategies in Estonia. The willingness of Finnish and Estonian unions to commit resources to transnational cooperation around an ‘organizing model’ marks a dramatic departure from the unions’ previous strategies. This change was accomplished by transnati…
