2008

We witness an economic crisis without precedent that affects every area of our existence, rich and poor, at a global scale. The noise of financial crisis makes us no longer perceive other crises, which no one seems ready to accept them, namely a crisis of values that proliferate in our society. The experience of the past crises shows that the recession affecting mainly local companies, multinational companies managed to make profits during hard times for the economy of the host country, and the management is put in front of new challenges.

Management and academic profession : comparing the Finnish professors with and without management positions

2017

ABSTRACTManagement is one of the most studied phenomena in higher education. Most of these studies are conducted in the framework of higher education policy, academic work and quality of education and research.

2023

Yhdistyslaissa korostuu toiminnan jäsenvaltaisuus. Toimintaympäristön muutos on kuitenkin johtanut ammatillistumiseen, ja palkattujen toimihenkilöiden asema on korostunut.

In this study, we describe the current changes and continuities of the academic profession in Finland, as perceived by top and middle managers employed in Finnish Universities. We found out that logics and values by organizational professionalism are emphasized; however, occupational professionalism is also deeply rooted in the pr…

Ethical dilemmas as professional challenge : case study on management in reception centers in Finland
