Imagined Identities and Communities in the Learning Context of Finnish as a Second Language
2022
This case study on two migrant pupils of Finnish as L2 was carried out in Finland, which lies outside the most common context of such research, i.e. ESL or EFL in an English-speaking country. The study thus attempts to address the need to expand the research contexts of L2 identity issues. Using ethnographic data collected inside and outside a preparatory language classroom, this study aims to examine how the pupils make sense of their new learning environment and how, through language learning, they construct identities. The results show that they extend their repertoire of identities and connect to a wider world of possibilities as they strive to gain greater resources in their imagined c…
Suomen kielen sosiaalinen oppiminen työyhteisössä : IT-alan työperusteiset maahanmuuttajat suomalaisessa työyhteisössä
2011
Tiivistelmä – Abstract Työperusteisen maahanmuuton määrä kasvaa Suomessa jatkuvasti. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään, millaista sosiaalista kielenoppimista informaatioteknologian alan työyhteisössä tapahtuu ilman formaalia kielikoulutusta. Lisäksi tutkitaan, miten suomen kielen taidon taso vaikuttaa elämään, millaisena suomenkieliset työtoverit näkevät maahanmuuttajien suomen kielen taidon ja oman roolinsa sen kehittymisessä, sekä millaisia ovat maahanmuuttajien asenteet suomen kieltä ja sen oppimista kohtaan. Tutkimukseni koostuu kuudesta noin puolen tunnin mittaisesta yksilöhaastattelusta ja yhdestä ryhmähaastattelusta. Tutkimuksessa vertaillaan kahta työyhteisöä, joista toisessa työkiele…

The Need to Approach the Management of the Tourist Destination by the Central and Local Public Authorities in Romania
2017
Abstract In the medium and long term, priorities in the development of tourism aim to develop a complex tourist offer, making the most of the natural and anthropogenic resources existing in connection with the preservation of the environment and the heritage. On the long run, it will contribute to raising the living standards of the population, especially social categories with lower chances of reintegration into the labour market (people made redundant in industry, elderly people etc.). Implementation of the strategy at regional level must be achieved through an active partnership between Romanian public authorities, economic agents and private investors, with the involvement of the federa…
Open Service Innovation: The Case of Tourism Firms in Scandinavia
2016
Most empirical research investigating open innovation has focused on the development of new physical products in manufacturing industries, whereas open service innovation has not been researched correspondingly. Services have some characteristics that distinguish them from physical products, which may affect the types of open innovation practice utilised during service innovation processes. Tourism services comprise a subset of services that is particularly distant from tangible products. Therefore, the exploration of how tourism firms utilise different types of open innovation practice offers a valuable opportunity to learn about the nature of open service innovation practices. Thus, this …
Tourism Destination Brokers: a network analytic approach
2022
Understanding the interactions of tourist companies could be relevant for the destination’s organisation and management. The present article employs a network analysis to examine inter-organisational interactions and the various roles that some companies assume in tourism destinations. The results reveal the existence of a network in which enterprises, identified as brokers, take on strategic roles both within and outside of their specific sub-sectors of origin. This study proposes new social network analysis indicators to identify the distinctive and prevalent position of company brokers, who manage inter-organisational relations by spontaneously assuming specific roles within the tourist …
Gender and Toxic Meritocracy in Competitive Overwatch: Case “Ellie”
2022
AbstractThis chapter examines toxic meritocracy in relation to gender in competitive Overwatch, asking how gender affects a player’s opportunities for engagement in that scene. It analyzes online news stories and community discussions concerning “Ellie” – a fabricated competitive woman gamer created as a “social experiment” by a man player. The confluences between gender and toxic meritocracy become visible in the assumption there must be an experienced man gamer behind the battletag, the gender-based harassment targeted at Ellie, and the reflections on the importance of setting an example as the first team taking a woman player for Contenders. The analysis shows that despite a strong belie…
