Vuorovaikutusosaamisen yhteisyys työelämän tiimeissä
2018
Teams are a very common way to organize work within a variety of fields. The role of competent communication in high-quality and successful teamwork is emphasized in both research and in working life discourse. However, research on communication competence in working life teams is scarce. Extant research lies heavily in the study of communication situations in short-term groups. The reality of working life teams differs from such groups. Teams work on varied, overlapping tasks, often over long periods of time. Moreover, extant research primarily has focused on competence as an individual quality. The objective of this study is to describe and understand the sharedness of communication compe…
Sosiaalilautakuntakysely 2016 : kuntien luottamusmiesten käsitys kunnallisen sosiaalityön toteutumisesta ja luottamusmiestyöskentelystä sosiaalihuoll…
2016
Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää sosiaalihuollon päätöksistä vastaavien lautakuntien jäsenten käsityksiä sosiaalihuollon palveluista ja kokemuksia lautakuntatyöskentelystä Suomen kunnissa. Tutkielman empiirinen osuus toteutettiin Survey-kyselynä Internetissä Webropol-alustalla kesäkuussa 2016. Kyselyssä selvitettiin lautakuntatyössä toimivan luonnollisen henkilön näkemyksiä omasta sekä ryhmänsä lautakuntatyöskentelystä. Kyselyn kohderyhmäksi valikoitui arpomalla yhteensä 32 kuntaa tai kaupunkia, joissa oli yli 1000 mutta alle 100000 asukasta 31.12.2015. Kunnat jaettiin neljään kuntaryhmään väestön määrän perusteella ja aineisto analysoitiin kuntaryhmittäin. Kyselyssä saatu aineisto kä…
Revealing colonial power relations in early childhood policy making: An autoethnographic story on selective evidence
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic exposes uncertainty, instability and glaring inequality that requires urgent global policy decisions. Historically, bureaucrats regard uncertainty as the enemy and look for tested solutions (Stevens, 2011). In contrast, Fielding & Moss (2010) acknowledge an uncertain future and encourage shifting policy making towards the search for possibilities instead of replicating singular solutions. Escobar (2020) advocates for pluriversal politics, with many possibilities created through collective decision-making by autonomous interlinked networks. In this paper, I combine autoethnography with policy analysis drawing on my own experience in South African early childhood pol…
Combining spatial prioritization and expert knowledge facilitates effectiveness of large-scale mire protection process in Finland
2020
Conservation resource allocation involves a complex set of considerations including species, habitats, connectivity, local to global biodiversity objectives, alternative protection and restoration actions, while requiring cost-efficiency and effective implementation. We present a national scale spatial conservation prioritization analysis for complementing the network of protected mires in Finland. We show how spatial prioritization coupled with regional targets and expert knowledge can facilitate structured decision-making. In our application, discussion between experts was structured around the prioritization model enabling integration of quantitative analysis with expert knowledge. The u…
Using uncertain preferential information from stakeholders to assess the acceptability of alternative forest management plans
2017
In forest management planning, participatory planning processes are often encouraged as a means to acquire relevant information and to enhance the stakeholders' acceptability of alternative plans. This requires the aggregation of the stakeholders' preferences that can be done in a wide variety of manners. The aggregation process strives to reduce the information into a single set of preferences that simplifies the information and allows for the use of discrete decision support tools. Depending on how the preferences are aggregated, a wide range of plan rankings can emerge. Although this range of ranking complicates the issue of plan selection, it does highlight the uncertainty involved in a…
The curse of agility : The Nokia Corporation and the loss of market dominance in mobile phones, 2003–2013
2021
We investigate how and why the Nokia Corporation failed to develop a successful strategic response to the threats of Apple and Google in the smartphone business and instead worsened its situation through several badly timed decisions. We identify key choices in technology and organisational design that jointly constituted sufficient cause for the abandonment of the mobile phone business. By focusing on choices instead of attributes (e.g. fear or hubris), we make progress in strategic failure research and simultaneously emphasise the strength of oral history methods and the philosophy of history as fruitful starting points for such an inquiry. peerReviewed
Effects of contextual variables on strategic investment decision-making styles: An empirical study from Pakistan.
2022
There is a gap in the literature of strategic investment decision making (SIDM) concerning the links between context variables, infrastructure and SIDM practices (or SIDM styles) in developing countries. This research aims to fill that gap. Survey data (N = 128) from the manufacturing companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange was collected via an e-mailed questionnaire and visits to the companies. Data are analyzed with factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results reveal what we call four different SIDM styles (or emphases): managerial power-, financial analysis-, top management-, and strategy-based investing. These styles are considered to be novel perspectives on SI…

Simultaneous optimization of harvest schedule and measurement strategy
2013
In many recent studies, the value of forest inventory information in the harvest scheduling has been examined. Usually only the profitability of measuring simultaneously all the stands in the area is examined. Yet, it may be more profitable to concentrate the measurement efforts to some subset of them. In this paper, the authors demonstrate that stochastic optimization can be used for defining the optimal measurement strategy simultaneously with the harvest decisions. The results show that without end-inventory constraints, it was most profitable to measure the stands that were just below the medium age. Measuring the oldest stands was not profitable at all. It turned out to be profitable t…
