A competent participant in the new media landscape: Promoting an interdisciplinary perspective
2016
Dynamic changes in media technology, society, media consumption and the economy affect the media landscape as well as the role and status of media users who are no longer passive receivers, but active media participants, and thus need to develop appropriate competence areas. We argue that using an interdisciplinary perspective within communication and journalism studies is necessary to address the scope of challenges that new media users are facing. Hence, we propose a palette of competence areas to be achieved, which would include intercultural communication, interpersonal communication and a basic knowledge of ethics, visual literacy, and source criticism abilities. While we understand th…
Teaching networking: an interpersonal communication competence perspective
2015
Modern working life calls for competences that enable people to be creative, innovative and effective. Studies looking at contemporary enterprises and organisations such as businesses and schools have shown that many of the qualifications that graduating students would need, including informal learning (see Gielen, Hoeve & Nieuwenhuis 2003), innovativeness (e.g. Moolenaar & Sleegers 2010; Obstfeld 2005) and creativity (e.g. Burt 2004; Perry-Smith & Shalley 2003), are associated with interpersonal relationships and social networks. According to a report on the national career survey (EK 2011a), effective networking is dependent on social skills such as the ability to establish contacts in mu…

Entrepreneurs’ interpersonal communication competence in networking
2020
Modern international business calls for competencies that enable entrepreneurs to be creative, innovative, effective and capable of networking. Competencies in forming and developing networks are particularly valuable for organizations and companies in countries with small economies, such as Finland, that are dependent on export and profitable international business. The aim of this research is to build understanding of what kind of interpersonal communication competence (ICC) entrepreneurs need in networking.
 Since the classic work of Granovetter (1982) and others (see e.g. Håkansson, 1982; Håkansson & Snehota, 2000), network theory and network analysis have become popular when t…

The development of interpersonal communication competence at work
2007
[Introduction] Many researchers emphasise the importance of interpersonal communication competence in learning, in working life, and in society in general (Daly, 1998; Morreale, Osborn and Pearson, 2000). Changes in the working life (e.g., globalisation, the development of information and communication technology, the increase in abstract, conceptual, and knowledge-intensive work, and the increase in collaborative interaction) have established new challenges to interpersonal communication competence and enhanced the essential role of communication and interaction at work (FinnSight 2015 foresight project, 2006; Huotari, Hurme and Valkonen, 2005; Kostiainen, 2003). Several studies have attem…

Keskustelun, käsitysten ja käytänteiden voima : teknologiavälitteinen vuorovaikutus työyhteisössä
2020
Vuonna 2020 vallitseva pandemiatilanne on siirtänyt asiantuntijaorganisaatiot laajalti etätyöhön. Yhteisten fyysisten työtilojen sijaan tavataan digitaalisissa viestintäympäristöissä ja monenlaiset vuorovaikutusteknologiset alustat ovat tulleet laajalti tutuiksi. Kuluvan vuoden lokakuussa puolustin viestinnän alan väitöskirjaani eittämättä ajankohtaisesta aiheesta, vuorovaikutusteknologiasta työyhteisössä. Tutkimukseni lisää ymmärrystä aiheeseen liitetyistä käsityksistä ja käsitteistöstä sekä teknologiavälitteisen vuorovaikutuksen ilmiöistä erityisesti tiimien ja organisaation viestinnällisillä tasoilla. Vaikka teknologiaan liittyvä keskustelu on kenties kiivaampaa kuin koskaan, korostavat …
