Internationalization pathways of family SMEs: psychic distance as a focal point
2010
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how psychic distance affects the internationalization process, foreign market entry (FME), and entry mode choice of Finnish small and medium-sized family enterprises (family SMEs) operating in France. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reports findings from an in-depth case study covering four Finnish manufacturing family SMEs operating in the French market. The data were analyzed using the Uppsala model and distance creating and distance-bridging factors encountered in the FME to France. Findings – The findings reveal that the family SMEs mainly followed a sequential process and favored indirect entry modes before entering the Fren…
Automatic social distance estimation for photographic studies: Performance evaluation, test benchmark, and algorithm
2022
The social distancing regulations introduced to slow down the spread of COVID-19 virus directly affect a basic form of non-verbal communication, and there may be longer term impacts on human behavior and culture that remain to be analyzed in proxemics studies. To obtain quantitative results for such studies, large media and/or personal photo collections must be analyzed. Several social distance monitoring methods have been proposed for safety purposes, but they are not directly applicable to general photo collections with large variations in the imaging setup. In such studies, the interest shifts from safety to analyzing subtle differences in social distances. Currently, there is no suitabl…
Eron jälkeinen vanhemmuus etä-isän näkökulmasta
2010
Nykyään isyys on muutostilassa ja on monenlaisia isiä, kuten etä-isiä, yksinhuoltajaisiä ja ydinperheenisiä.

Tutkimuskysymyksenä oli siis ensinnäkin selvittää millaista isyys oli eron jälkeen ja miten se on muuttunut. Toisena tutkimuskysymyksenä oli se, kokivatko isät suhteen lapsiinsa muuttuneen eron jälkeen ja jos kokivat, niin miten. Kolmantena tutkimuskysymyksenä oli selvittää millaisi…
