Educational Hackathon : Innovation Contest for Innovation Pedagogy
2018
This paper addresses the educational hackthon as innovation pedagogy method for teaching fuzzy front end of innovation (FFEI) in higher education institutions (HEIs). Specifically it focuses on the process design and execution. This study is based on the idea that educational hackathons are a specific type of innovation contest aimed at teaching and learning, thus incorporating a set of design variables. Therefore, the paper reports a case study according to those variables in HEI teaching in university-industrycollaboration. This paper presents both the process description along with students’ learning and feedback, i.e. the development suggestions for the method. Presenting conclusions fo…
Innovation development to new business in incumbent firms : a case study on the pharmaceutical companies in Finland

Esimies-alaissuhteen laadun ja organisaatioluottamuksen vaikutus organisaation innovointikyvykkyyteen
2013
Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin johtajuuden näkökulmasta esimies-alaissuhteen laadun ja organisaatioluottamuksen vaikutusta organisaation innovointikyvykkyyteen. Empiirisen määrällisen tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli lisätä tietoa korkealaatuisen esimies-alaissuhteen vaikutuksesta luottamukseen ja innovointikyvykkyyteen organisaatiotasolla sekä toisaalta lisätä ymmärrystä organisaation innovointikykyyn vaikuttavista tekijöistä. Tutkimuksen kohderyhmänä olivat suomalaiset asiantuntijaorganisaatiot. Esimies-alaissuhteen laatua tarkasteltiin Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) -teorian mukaan joko korkea tai matalalaatuisena. Organisaatioluottamuksella tarkoitettiin ihmisten välistä luottamusta organisa…
The transformation of R&D into neo open innovation- a new concept in R&D endeavor triggered by amazon
2019
Amazon was the world's top Research and Development (R&D) firm in 2017. Its R&D investment was double that of 2015, five times that of 2012, and ten times that of 2011. Such a rapid and notable increase in R&D investment has raised the question of a new R&D definition and focus in the digital economy, which Amazon insists includes both “routine or periodic alterations” (traditionally classified as non-R&D) and “significant improvement” (classified as R&D). Using an empirical analysis of Amazon's R&D model as a system, this paper attempts to provide a convincing answer to this question. It has been identified that Amazon, which is based on R&D as a culture, has been promoting companywide exp…

Viestintä kuntien käyttäjälähtöisissä palveluinnovaatioissa
2015
Viestintää käyttäjälähtöisissä innovaatioissa on tutkittu varsin vähän. Tässä pro gradu -työssä tarkasteltiin, millaisia tehtäviä viestinnällä on käyttäjien osallistamisessa innovaatioprosesseihin ja millaisin perustein viestinnän menetelmät osallistamisessa valitaan. Tutkimuksen kohteena oli kahdeksan kuntaa ja tutkimusmenetelmänä käytettiin teemahaastatteluja, jotka toteutettiin pääosin puhelimitse helmi-maaliskuussa 2014. Haastateltavina oli yksitoista kuntien käyttäjälähtöisissä innovaatioprosesseissa vaikuttanutta viranhaltijaa. Kerätty aineisto analysoitiin teemoittelemalla. Tutkimuksen tuloksena viestinnälle jäsentyi kuusi tehtävää käyttäjien osallistamisessa: 1) motivointi, 2) luott…
Energizing Collaborative Industry-Academia Learning: A Present Case and Future Visions
2022
AbstractIn Industry-Academia Collaborations (IAC) both academic, scientific research results and industrial practitioner findings and experiences are produced. Both types of knowledge should be gathered, codified, and disseminated efficiently and effectively. This paper investigates a recent (2014–2017) large-scale IAC R&D&I program case (Need for Speed, N4S) from a learning perspective. It was one of the programs in the Finnish SHOK (Strategic Centres of Science, Technology, and Innovation) system. The theoretical bases are in innovation management, knowledge management, and higher education (university) pedagogy. In the future, IAC projects should be more and more commonplace sinc…
Amazon's initiative transforming a non-contact society : Digital disruption leads the way to stakeholder capitalization
2021
Contrary to the decisive role of R&D centered on information and communication technology (ICT) in the digital economy, its excessive expansion has resulted in declining productivity due to the two-faced nature of ICT. Consequently, the novel concept emerges of innovation that maintains sustainable growth by harnessing the vigor of soft innovation resources (SIRs). Pioneering endeavors can be observed at the forefront of the global ICT leaders. World R&D leader Amazon has been harnessing the power of users that seek SIRs. This functions as a virtuous cycle, leading to the transformation of R&D by fusing a unique R&D system with a sophisticated financing system. With this orchestration, Amaz…
Transformative direction of R&D– lessons from Amazon's endeavor
2019
Amazon jumped up to the world's top Research and Development (R&D) firm in 2017. Such a rapid and notable increase in R&D investment has raised the question of a new R&D definition in the digital economy, which Amazon insists includes both “routine or periodic alterations” (traditionally classified as non-R&D) and “significant improvement” (classified as R&D), as Amazon transforms the former into the latter during its R&D process. A convincing answer to this question will give rise to insightful suggestions regarding a new concept of R&D in the digital economy. peerReviewed
