Nuoret innovatiiviset yritykset : tarkastelussa innovointi, tuottavuus ja yritystukien vaikuttavuus
2013
Nuorille innovatiivisille yrityksille on myönnetty EU:ssa helpotuksia valtiontukien saa-miseksi. Kirjallisuudessa tällaisten nuorten, pienten ja t&k-intensiivisten yritysten on havaittu olevan poikkeuksellisia tuottamaan uusia ideoita ja kaupallistamaan niitä. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan nuorten innovatiivisten yritysten innovointikyvykkyyttä ja tuottavuutta. Lisäksi tavoitteena on tutkia, onko yritystuilla vaikutusta edellä mainittuihin innovointikyvykkyyteen sekä tuottavuuteen. Aineistona käytetään Tilastokeskuksen useita eri tilastolähteitä pääasiassa vuosilta 1995, 2000, 2004–2010. Niitä ovat Yritys- ja Konsernirekisterit, Tilinpäätös-, Tutkimus- ja kehittämistoimintatilastot, FLEE…
Micro-investment perspective and the potential of the universal basic income
2018
In this article, we explore the prospects of Basic Income (BI) as a development policy tool. Our approach is to analyse the BI as a tool for promoting micro-investments and as a general development policy instrument, thus deliberately departing from the perception of cash transfers as targeted poverty reduction tools. As experiences in testing BI systems in developing country contexts are limited to local and regional experiments in Namibia and India (Haarmann et al., 2009; Haarmann & Haarmann, 2012; Davala et al., 2015), conclusive assessments about the impacts of the BI cannot be drawn. Therefore, we aim to estimate potential impacts of the BI by synthesising existing knowledge. This esti…

Fuel for commercial politics: the nucleus of early commercial proliferation of atomic energy in three acts
2020
Historical research into the nuclear industry has focussed upon military and commercial aspects of the technology whilst ignoring fuel. This article discusses nuclear fuel, the resource at the centre of the industry and the role superpower politics played in its supply. Starting with the context of superpower competition, we examine the spread of nuclear technology from its beginnings in post-war Britain via West Germany in the 1950s to Finland in the 1960s and 1970s. We demonstrate that each country had varied interests affecting the choice of nuclear fuel for early energy projects; British fuel choices were constrained by its weapons programme and Germany needed legitimacy in the face of …
Fusion of technology management and financing management - Amazon's transformative endeavor by orchestrating techno-financing systems
2020
Amazon became the world R&D leader in 2017 by rapidly increasing R&D investment. Its R&D investment in 2017 was double that of 2015, 5 times that of 2012, and 10 times that of 2011. This rapid increase continued in 2018, and Amazon accomplished a skyrocketing increase in its market capitalization, closing to being the world's biggest company. Such a rapid increase in R&D and subsequent market value has raised questions about how to conduct R&D and secure a large amount of funds needed for high-risk investments. Amazon has provided hypothetical answers to both of these questions. Amazon has been conducting innovative R&D to transform routine or periodic alterations into significant improveme…
Institutional systems inducing R&D in Amazon- the role of an investor surplus toward stakeholder capitalization
2020
Abstract Amazon demonstrated a conspicuous increase in R&D and became the world's top R&D firm in 2017 with a skyrocketing increase in market capitalization, making it close to being the world's biggest company. Such a remarkable accomplishment can be attributed to Amazon's institutional systems, which orchestrate techno-financing systems that fuse a unique R&D transformation system and a sophisticated financing system centered on the cash conversion cycle (CCC). These institutional systems support and endorse aggressive investment in R&D that incorporates the characteristics of uncertainty, a long lead time, and successive inflows of very large amounts of funding without interruption. Whil…
