How a glass-processing SME developed its big data competence
2021
This chapter demonstrates how Glaston, a glass-processing SME, has overcome the constraints of limited funds and limited technical know-how to develop its big data competence.

First, the combination of market listening and business imagination has enabled Glaston to monitor technological developments in the industry and adapt them to big data use cases that are relevant for the company. Second, open innovation has allowed Glaston to complement internal resources and co-create big data initiatives with external…
An effectual approach to executing dynamic capabilities under unexpected uncertainty

The Essence of Dynamic Capabilities and their Measurement
2018
The growing popularity of explaining firm performance through dynamic capabilities has motivated plenty of conceptual development in the field. However, empirical approaches to measuring dynamic capabilities have so far not been under comprehensive scrutiny. The authors; purpose is to assess the extent to which different ways of measuring dynamic capabilities in quantitative studies correspond to the theoretical essence of the concept, and develop recommendations for future research. They find that four types of operationalizations have been used: (1) managers’ evaluations; (2) financial data; (3) company's experience, actions and performance; and (4) managers’ or employees’ experience, act…
The pricing capability lifecycle of digital innovations
2021
The pricing capability provides a basis for firms’ competitive advantage. However, to date, the literature has not investigated how this capability forms, develops, and matures. In this study, we define the pricing capability as a dynamic capability consisting of three operational building blocks (tools and data, human and relational resources, and processes, routines, and mechanisms) as well as two dynamic capability building blocks (alertness and responsiveness, and value-based strategic thinking). Furthermore, we propose the pricing capability lifecycle of digital innovations that incorporates insights of the dynamic capabilities view (DCV). Based on a longitudinal multi-case study of fi…
Tietojärjestelmien kyvykkyydet pankkien valmistautuessa toiseen maksupalveludirektiiviin
2017
Pankeilla on edessään uusi liiketoimintaympäristö, kun toinen maksupalvelu-direktiivi astuu voimaan tammikuussa 2018. Direktiivi velvoittaa pankkeja avaamaan ohjelmointirajapinnat, joiden kautta yritykset voivat pyytää asiakkaan tilitietoja ja suorittaa maksuja asiakkaan tileiltä. Näin ollen pankkien yksinoikeus maksunvälitykseen on poistumassa ja samalle markkinalle ovat tulossa niin monikansalliset teknologiakonsernit, kuin uudet ja ketterät finanssiteknologia-yritykset. Uusi digitaalinen toimintaympäristö on haaste pankkien erilaiseen toimintaympäristöön suunnitelluille tietojärjestelmille ja organisaatiorakenteille. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkoituksena oli selvittää miten tietojärjestelmie…
