We conduct 10 semi-structured interviews with a Finnish retail company and its customers and reflect on the customers’ experiences with respect to the company’s value propositions in the se…
Implementation of Digital Portfolios in Early Childhood Education
2019
Curricula, influenced by the digitalization, set requirements for early childhood education (ECE) settings to implement digital practices. However, ECE teachers are struggling to integrate information and communication technology (ICT) and child-centered pedagogy, such as digital portfolios, successfully into practice. Previous research efforts have focused on analyzing the barriers of digital technology implementation. This study, in turn, takes a broader view and addresses the complex task of implementing digital practices into education by analyzing the factors that foster and challenge the implementation process. The results show that human related factors are considered the most foster…
Henkilöstöjohtamisen trendit digitalisoituvassa toimintaympäristössä

Digitalisaatio on voimakkaasti yleistyvä ilmiö, jota voi tarkastella laaja-alaisesti henkilöstöjohtamisen kenttää muovaavana metatrendinä tai suppeammin joukkona ohjelmisto- ja tiedonhallintateknologioita, joilla pyritään tehostamaan organisaation toimintaa ja vähentämään kustannuksia. Tutkimusstrategia on laadullinen ja analyysissa olemme soveltaneet sisällön erittelyä aikaisemman kirjallisuuden ja empiirisen haastatteluaineiston yhdistävällä otteella. Empiirinen aineisto koostuu 17 suomalaisen henkilöstöammattilaisen temaattisesta sähköpostihaastattelusta. Löydöksemme jakautuu…
Personalisation in Journalism: Ethical insights and blindspots in Finnish legacy media

The algorithmic personalisation and recommendation of media content has resulted in considerable discussion on related ethical, epistemic and societal concerns. While technologies of personalisation are widely employed by social media platforms, they are currently also being instituted in journalistic media. The objective of this study is to explore how concerns about algorithms are articulated and addressed when technologies of personalisation meet with long-standing journalistic values, norms and publicist missions. It first distinguishes five normative concerns related to personalisation: autonomy, opacity, privacy, selective exposure and discrimination. It then traces the ways that the…
Digital advertising around paid spaces, e-advertising industry’s revenue engine : A review and research agenda
2017
We develop and describe a framework for research in a particular segment of digital advertising. Internet Advertising Paid Slots and Spaces (IAPS) is a neologism and work almost like a stock exchange for buying and selling advertising in various formats on designated spaces around web and make a significant contribution to Internet advertising revenues. These paid spaces were found to encompass diverse areas of Internet advertising that include search engine marketing, social media advertising and display advertising. Given the complexity of the modern digital advertising eco system, this literature review seeks to provide clarity, up-to-date knowledge and ongoing insights into Internet adv…
Using AI to personalise emotionally appealing advertisement
2019
Personal data and information collected online by companies can be used to design and personalise advisements. This chapter extends existing research into the online behavioural advertising by proposing a model that incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning into developing emotionally appealing advertisements. It is proposed that big data and consumer analytics collected through AI from different sources will be aggregated to have a better understanding of consumers as individuals. Personalised emotionally appealing advertisements will be created with this information and shared digitally using pragmatic advertising strategies. Theoretically, this chapter contributes towards…
Digital Activism in Russia: The Evolution and Forms of Online Participation in an Authoritarian State
2020
AbstractThis chapter describes how digitalization has affected activism in Russia by tracing the evolution, particularity, and the most visible forms of online activism in the context of the increasingly authoritarian Russian state. It discusses online activism in relation to “connective action” and illustrates it with two examples of contentious political activism: the anti-corruption campaign led by Alexei Navalny and the struggle to protect online communication from state surveillance by the Telegram messenger service. In addition, the chapter presents examples of Russian activism, which do not directly challenge the Kremlin.

Therefore, this study aims to identify competencies for successful global startups through intergenerational knowledge transfer. We used a systematic literature review to identify a competency set consisting of growth virtues, effectual creativity, technical domain, responsive teamwork, values-based organization, sustainable networking, cultural awaren…
Internationalization, networks and industry related factors : the case of Finnish digital game industry
2016
Tässä työssä tutkittiin pienten ja keskisuurten (PK) yritysten kansainvälistymistä, myyntiä ja verkostoja pienen ja avoimen talouden kontekstissa. Tutkimusaukko perustui tarpeeseen tutkia miten PK -yritykset ja International New Venture (INV) -yritykset kansainvälistyvät, miten verkostoja käytetään tässä prosessissa ja miten toimialan erityispiirteet vaikuttavat käyttäytymiseen. Teoreettinen viitekehys muodostui stage -malleista (Uppsala -malli), INV -teoriasta ja kansainvälistymisen verkostomallista yhdistettynä taloudellisesti kasvavan ja menestyvän digitaalisen pelialan kontekstiin. Tämän kvalitatiivisen tapaustutkimuksen empiirinen data koostui kymmenestä (10) suomalaisten peliyritysten…
