Social lnnovation: The Y-Foundation Case

2017

The starting point of this paper is that advancing social inclusion – making all groups of people feel important and valued – is crucial to consider since it advances the quality of life and development of humans, organizations, and societies. The objective of this paper is to introduce the case of a social innovation called the Y-Foundation. The Y-Foundation is a social enterprise operating in Finland and aiming to promote opportunities for homeless people. Having a home can make solving health and social problems much easier. In addition, a linkage between ethics and innovation in the Y-Foundation’s operations is discussed. peerReviewed

Determinants of Individual Knowledge Innovation Behavior

2021

With the upsurge of "emotional storm" in the field of organizational behavior, the studies on individual emotions in organizational context are rising. Especially the relationship between emotions and knowledge innovation has attracted much attention by scholars. In particular, individual emotions may exert great effect on knowledge innovation whereas the mechanism is still unclear. Based on the emotional event theory, this paper constructs a model which explores the interaction of positive and negative emotions with individual knowledge innovation. Based on questionnaire data analysis, the results show that knowledge sharing partly mediate the relationship between positive emotion and know…

Not just daycare: nordic mothers in research, development and innovation navigating work and childcare

2022

Nordic welfare policies mitigate work–childcare reconciliation; however, they are not enough for mothers working in intensive work cultures. In addition, there are differences among the three Nordic states in both work–family policies and cultural norms as to how they should be used. In this article, we study the resources mothers who work in research, development and innovation (R&D&I) in Finland, Norway and Sweden rely on in their work–childcare reconciliation. Thematic analysis of interviews with 74 professionals resulted in identifying four main resources: father involvement, parental leave system and daycare, flexible working, and grandparent help and networks. Our analysis brings to v…

Incremental innovation and the utility model

2016

Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan taloudellisen kasvun tärkeintä komponenttia: teknologiaa. Tarkoituksena on määrittää inkrementaalisen innovaation tarkka sijainti innovaatiotypologiassa ja kirjallisuudesta syntetisoidussa teknologian elinkaari-mallissa. Selviää, että yksittäisen teknologian kehitystä voidaan ajatella jatkumona, jolla on vaikutuksia tutkimusprosessin luonteeseen, ja sitä kautta myös markkinarakenteeseen. Tässä kontekstissa inkrementaaliset innovaatiot ovat innovaatioita kuvitellun artefaktin periferisissä komponenteissa, mikä tarkoittaa käytännössä sitä, että ne yleensä seuraavat dominanttia mallia (dominant design). Nämä kaksi konseptia ovat siis sidoksissa toisiinsa. Teoreettise…

IPR-instituutiot teknologisen kehityksen määrittäjinä

2022

Aineettomien oikeuksien (Intellectual Property Rights, IPR) instituutioiden kuten patentti- ja tavaramerkkijärjestelmien kehityksellä on erityinen rooli tutkimus- ja kehitysinvestointien (T&K), innovaatiotoiminnan sekä teknologisen kehityksen määrän ja suunnan määrittäjinä. Tässä artikkelissa keskitytään IPR-instituutioihin teknologisen kehityksen määrittäjinä ja tarkastellaan ilmiötä suomalaisesta näkökulmasta. Pitkällä aikavälillä aineettoman omaisuuden ja sen suojaamisen merkitys taloudessa, yritysten liiketoiminnassa ja innovaatiotuottojen saamisessa on kasvanut, samalla kun kansallisia ja kansainvälisiä IPR-järjestelmiä on kehitetty ja yhdenmukaistettu. IPR-instituutioiden kehityksen p…

Comparing Innovation and Social Media Strategies in Scandinavian and US Newspapers

2018

The article focuses on innovation and social media strategies in newspaper companies in the US and three Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway and Denmark). Many previous studies have focused on the state of journalism and media industry in single countries, although media have distinct features in different countries. Through the comparative setting, it is possible to examine the differences in media innovation strategies and study what factors affect innovation in media production, business models, sources of funding, and social media strategies. The qualitative part of the paper consists of semi-structured in-depth interviews (N = 65) with media managers and experts, which were carried …

Innovation expectations and patenting in private and public R&D projects

2017

peer-reviewed In this paper, we investigate how the innovation expectations of public financiers are related to realized patents. The analysis is based on a novel dataset of collaborative R&D projects subsidized by the Finnish Agency of Technology and Innovation (Tekes) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) during the period 2000–2004. Innovation expectations are measured using reports submitted by Tekes experts during ex ante assessments of projects. Our probit model results reveal that Tekes’ patent expectations are positively related to realized patents for projects led by private firms (but not by public organizations). For large organizations, Tekes’ innovation expectations…
