The Hopeless and the Ict Transformation
2018

Government is not helping and their activities lack efficiency, proper management and appropriate internal communication and with the external world. This is the reason why the ICT in particular People.net, the knowledge charity infrastructure’s potential are proposed as a solution.

Complexity as a Driver of Media Choice: A Comparative Study of Domestic and International Teams
2019
International dispersed (virtual) teams are becoming increasingly prevalent in complex international business environments, and their ability to handle internal communication is critical to their performance. Modern information and communication technology offer a variety of media to support team communication. Nonetheless, research is trailing behind practice and offers no established framework to explain media use in contemporary teams. Here, we seek to address this void. In a comparative study of domestic and international teams’ choice of media, we extend media-richness theory by focusing on the construct of complexity. Using structural equation modelling and multigroup analysis to ass…

Sosiaalinen media yrityksen sisäisessä viestinnässä
2017
Tässä tutkielmassa käsitellään sosiaalista mediaa yrityksen sisäisen viestinnän välineenä. Yritykset ovat ottaneet sosiaalisen median osaksi ulkoista viestintäänsä, kuten markkinointia. Vähitellen sosiaalinen media on kuitenkin valtaamassa alaa myös yritysten sisäisestä viestinnästä. Aiheen tutkiminen on mielenkiintoista aiheen ajankohtaisuuden vuoksi. Esimerkiksi Suomessa suurissa yrityksissä on otettu käyttöön sosiaaliseen mediaan pohjautuvia sisäisen viestinnän järjestelmiä. Aiheesta löytyy kuitenkin hyvin vähän tutkimustuloksia; tämä tekee aiheen tutkimisesta entistä tärkeämpää. Tutkielmassa pyritään vastaamaan kirjallisuuden avulla kysymyksiin siitä, mitä ominaisuuksia sisäisellä viest…
Internal Communication System Analysis in a Small Company
2017
[EN] The aim of this paper is to analyze the internal communication system in a small company. We used structured interviews in all hierarchical levels to compare the perceptive differences and the way of using the communication tools. A total of five one-hour interview sessions were made to evaluate the involved variables in every communicative tool appointed byor-ganization members. The results showed some contradictions between the respondentsand a low horizontal and descending communication caused by the limited use of these commu-nication tools. Finally, suggestions for improvements to prevent problems and enhance their positive effects were informed.
