The pricing capability lifecycle of digital innovations
2021
The pricing capability provides a basis for firms’ competitive advantage. However, to date, the literature has not investigated how this capability forms, develops, and matures. In this study, we define the pricing capability as a dynamic capability consisting of three operational building blocks (tools and data, human and relational resources, and processes, routines, and mechanisms) as well as two dynamic capability building blocks (alertness and responsiveness, and value-based strategic thinking). Furthermore, we propose the pricing capability lifecycle of digital innovations that incorporates insights of the dynamic capabilities view (DCV). Based on a longitudinal multi-case study of fi…
How a glass-processing SME developed its big data competence
2021
This chapter demonstrates how Glaston, a glass-processing SME, has overcome the constraints of limited funds and limited technical know-how to develop its big data competence. While describing Glaston's big data journey, the study focuses on three types of dynamic capabilities that have played a crucial role in the building of Glaston's big data competence. First, the combination of market listening and business imagination has enabled Glaston to monitor technological developments in the industry and adapt them to big data use cases that are relevant for the company. Second, open innovation has allowed Glaston to complement internal resources and co-create big data initiatives with external…
An effectual approach to executing dynamic capabilities under unexpected uncertainty
2022
This study investigates how business-to-business (B2B) firms navigate contexts of unexpected uncertainty. Building on the theories of effectuation and dynamic capabilities, the study develops a model that highlights how effectual decision-making logic is manifested in the activities B2B firms employ to sense and seize new opportunities and threats and transform existing business operations. The qualitative data were collected in two phases (before and after the COVID-19 outbreak) and consisted of 24 interviews with 13 B2B firms. The findings demonstrate a strong reliance on managers' effectual decision-making in situations of unexpected uncertainty and provide a set of key activities that h…
Business schools’ competitive strategies : whose goals, which aims?
2019
Purpose This study reviews the literature on business-school (b-school) competition and competitiveness to extend our understanding of b-schools’ competitive strategies. Design/methodology/approach Both content and network analysis were used in the examination of the scholarly discourse. Findings The analyses distinguish three literature streams. The first concentrates on resources, capabilities and competencies; the second focuses on measures of competitiveness; and the third includes competitive dynamics and strategy discourse. The analysis shows that the conceptions of competitiveness are quite coherent concerning resources, capabilities and competencies. However, in the “measures of com…
The Essence of Dynamic Capabilities and their Measurement
2018
The growing popularity of explaining firm performance through dynamic capabilities has motivated plenty of conceptual development in the field. However, empirical approaches to measuring dynamic capabilities have so far not been under comprehensive scrutiny. The authors; purpose is to assess the extent to which different ways of measuring dynamic capabilities in quantitative studies correspond to the theoretical essence of the concept, and develop recommendations for future research. They find that four types of operationalizations have been used: (1) managers’ evaluations; (2) financial data; (3) company's experience, actions and performance; and (4) managers’ or employees’ experience, act…
Using language to help people, or using people to help language? A capabilities framework of language policy
2023
Language policy is a hugely diverse field, united only by the intent to influence language use in some way. Much early research in the field asserted that language policy had an emancipatory drive, to empower downtrodden minorities against the cruelty or indifference of majoritarian politics. But over the years, critical accounts have increasingly questioned who precisely benefits from promoting minoritized languages. Indeed, can the language itself, valorized as an emblem of heritage, sometimes become invested with its own separate value? Can that value even outweigh concerns over improving people's prospects and capabilities? In what follows, I compare that balance between people's capabi…
Tietojärjestelmien kyvykkyydet pankkien valmistautuessa toiseen maksupalveludirektiiviin
2017
Pankeilla on edessään uusi liiketoimintaympäristö, kun toinen maksupalvelu-direktiivi astuu voimaan tammikuussa 2018. Direktiivi velvoittaa pankkeja avaamaan ohjelmointirajapinnat, joiden kautta yritykset voivat pyytää asiakkaan tilitietoja ja suorittaa maksuja asiakkaan tileiltä. Näin ollen pankkien yksinoikeus maksunvälitykseen on poistumassa ja samalle markkinalle ovat tulossa niin monikansalliset teknologiakonsernit, kuin uudet ja ketterät finanssiteknologia-yritykset. Uusi digitaalinen toimintaympäristö on haaste pankkien erilaiseen toimintaympäristöön suunnitelluille tietojärjestelmille ja organisaatiorakenteille. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkoituksena oli selvittää miten tietojärjestelmie…
Digitalisaation luomat mahdollisuudet : ohjelmistoyritysten näkemyksiä tarvittavista kyvykkyyksistä
2017
Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, mitä digitalisaatio-ilmiöllä tarkoitetaan ja minkälaisia kyvykkyyksiä organisaatiot tarvitsevat siinä menestyäkseen. Tutkimuksen lähtökohtana ja tarkoituksena oli selvittää, minkälaisia erilaisia tietoja, taitoja, osaamista ja kilpailukykyä tuottavia tekijöitä eli kyvykkyyksiä nykypäivän ohjelmistoyritykset tarvitsevat, jotta ne voivat menestyä kilpailijoitaan paremmin nyky-yhteiskunnan digitaalisessa liiketoimintaympäristössä. Tutkimuksen kohteena oli digitalisaatio ja näkökulmana sen tarkasteluun kyvykkyydet. Tutkimuskysymys oli täten: mitä digitalisaatio on, mitä mahdollisuuksia se tuo ja mitkä ovat merkittävimmät tarvittavat digitaaliset kyvykkyydet? Kvalitat…
