Enterprise architecture as a collaboration tool : discursive process for enterprise architecture management, planning and development

2008

Tieto- ja viestintäteknologiaa (ICT) hallitaan ja kehitetään kuten mitä tahansa yrityksen tai organisaation resurssia – tai ainakin näin olisi hyvä tehdä. Epäonnisia ICT-projekteja voidaan välttää nivomalla toiminnan ja teknologian suunnittelu ja kehittäminen yhteiseksi, vuorovaikutteiseksi prosessiksi, suosittelee aiheesta väittelevä Mirja Pulkkinen.Yritys- eli kokonaisarkkitehtuuri on kokonaisvaltainen lähestymistapa ICT:n hallintaan yhdessä liiketoiminnan kanssa. Johtamisessa voidaan tehdä tilaa liiketoiminnan ja teknologioiden vuoropuhelulle määrittämällä kokonaisarkkitehtuuriprosessi. Prosessi tuo toiminta-ajatuksen, tavoitteet sekä strategiat teknologiakehittäjille työn pohjaksi. Samo…

Key Issues in Enterprise Architecture Adoption in the Public Sector

2018

This paper examines the challenges of enterprise architecture (EA) adoption in public sector organisations. So far, demonstrating the benefits of EA has appeared difficult in this context, and the results in transforming public sector remain modest: Both the penetration and the maturity of EA appear rather low. In the academia, however, the adoption of EA has gained less interest than the EA development and methodologies. Hence, there is a need for research on what are the challenges of EA adoption, and how to overcome them. This paper presents the results of an expert survey on the challenges of EA adoption in the Finnish public sector. The analysis of quantitative data, supported with a q…

The Internationalization of B2B Digital Platform Providers : The Role of Cross-National Distance and Digital Characteristics

2020

Digitalization offers new opportunities and changes how firms can explore and enter new markets. Current literature has deepened our understanding of the internationalization process of digital-based firms, but it provides very little guidance on how the specific characteristics of digital artifacts enable and accelerate internationalization or of the role of crossnational distance and cultural difference. We use a longitudinal single-case approach to explore how a Business-to-Business (B2B) platform provider internationalized its operations from inception. The case study illustrates that the ongoing development of the digital service and the integration with new devices played an important…

The use of social media for knowledge acquisition and dissemination in B2B companies: an empirical study of Finnish technology industries

2019

Scholars and practitioners of knowledge management have paid increasing attention to the adoption of social media in business-to-business (B2B) setting for knowledge sharing; however, both the theoretical and empirical research in this domain are quite fragmented. The aim of this research is to deepen the understanding about the B2B companies’ awareness of the potentials of social media in improving their absorptive capacity and, consequently, if and how such companies deploy knowledge strategies based on social media adoption. We carried out an empirical survey of Finnish technology companies operating purely in B2B markets. Results highlight that social media adoption is still in a prelim…

The use of digital analytics for measuring and optimizing digital marketing performance

2016

Demonstrating the monetary outcomes of marketing is no longer considered a virtue but a necessity by the top management. Marketers are increasingly held accountable for their actions, yet most marketers struggle in their attempts to measure marketing performance. The emergence of digital analytics tools (e.g., Web analytics) has raised optimism of improved measurability due to its ability to track customer behavior in the digital environment. However, research lacks a clear understanding of the opportunities and limitations of digital analytics, and what it takes from an organization to make the most of its usage. The dissertation advances the knowledge in this area by investigating how ind…

Yritysrahoituksen neuvontapalveluiden laatu

2014

Tämä maaseutuyritysten rahoitusneuvonnan palveluiden laadun arviointi pe- rustuu Keski-Suomen elinkeino-, liikenne- ja ympäristökeskuksen (ELY) toi- meksiantoon. Arviointi on kohdennettu Manner-Suomen kehittämisohjelmasta vuosina 2007–2013 rahoitusta saaneisiin yritysasiakkaisiin. Arvioinnin näkökulmana on yritysasiakkaan kokema laatu. Arvioinnissa on olennaista se mihin maaseutuyritysten rahoitusneuvonnan palveluiden laadun kehittämisellä pyritään. Yritystuet eivät saisi liikaa ohjata maaseutuyritysten rahoitusneuvontaa vaan painopiste pitäisi olla maaseutuyritysten kasvun ja kehittymisen tavoitteiden edistämisessä ja niitä tukevassa ratkaisukeskeisessä asiakasneuvonnassa, mitkä ovat maase…

Keskipohjalaisyritykset toimintaympäristönsä ja sen hyvinvoinnin rakentajina : diskurssianalyyttinen näkökulma

2008

This research focuses on small and medium sized enterprises in Finland’s Central Ostrobothnia region as constructors of identity and welfare for their operating environment. To investigate the phenomenon I apply a discourse analytic and constructionist approach. The study material is derived from the SMEs’ www pages, which were subjected to a rhetorical analysis. I base my conclusions on the organizational discourses emerging from the homepages and the identities constructed therein. The dominant discourses show that the companies concentrate primarily, if not exclusively, on the substance of their business: the production of goods and services.Instead of describing themselves explicitly as…

Re-establishing traditional Czech family businesses : a multiple case study on the present challenges

2004

After virtually 50 years of expropriation and state ownership, a large number of Czech traditional family businesses were returned to their original owners. Despite the volatile and risky socio-economical and political conditions of the early 90’s, many businesses have been re-established by their former family owners and have carried out their activities with varying degrees of success until now.The main goal of this study is to monitor the challenges that family businesses face today and to investigate whether some of these might be facilitated through well suited business education and counseling. The study is a non-positivistic study – a multiple case study performed in the Czech Republ…
