The role of personal contacts of foreign subsidiary managers in the coordination of industrial multinationals : the case of Finnish subsidiaries in P…
2004
This study attempts to extend current knowledge of inter- and intra-firm relationships in industrial markets. In particular, the study seeks to illuminate the distinction between individual and organizational actors in business-to-business markets as well as the coexistence of formal and informal mechanisms of coordination in multinational corporations. The main questions addressed are: 1) what factors influence the occurrence of personal contacts of foreign subsidiary managers in industrial multinational corporations? and 2) how such personal contacts enable coordination in industrial markets and within multinational corporations?The theoretical context of the study is based on: 1) the int…
Intra- and inter-rater reliability of thoracic spine mobility and posture assessments in subjects with thoracic spine pain
2020
Abstract Background The thoracic spine (TS) has been neglected in the study of the spine despite its essential role in the stability and posture of the entire spinal complex. Therefore, there is an inevitable need to investigate the reproducibility of different thoracic spinal posture measures used in subjects with TS pain. Methods Thirty-two subjects (16 females and 16 males, mean age 39 years) were evaluated by two physiotherapists on the same day to gauge inter-rater reliability and on two consecutive days to gauge intra-rater reliability. TS posture was assessed by observation, and thoracic spine mobility was measured by manual assessment of segmental flexion and extension mobility in a…
Validity and feasibility of remote measurement systems for functional movement and posture assessments in people with axial spondylarthritis
2022
Introduction: This study aimed to estimate the criterion validity of functional movement and posture measurement using remote technology systems in people with and without Axial spondylarthritis (axSpA). Methods: Validity and agreement of the remote-technology measurement of functional movement and posture were tested cross-sectionally and compared to a standard clinical measurement by a physiotherapist. The feasibility of remote implementation was tested in a home environment. There were two cohorts of participants: people with axSpA and people without longstanding back pain. In addition, a cost-consequence analysis was performed. Results: Sixty-two participants (31 with axSPA, 53% female,…
Self-selected running gait modifications reduce acute impact loading, awkwardness, and effort
2021
Impact loading has been associated with running-related injuries, and gait retraining has been suggested as a means of reducing impact loading and lowering the risk of injury. However, gait retraining can lead to increased perceived awkwardness and effort. The influence of specifically trained and self-selected running gait modifications on acute impact loading, perceived awkwardness and effort is currently unclear. Sixteen habitual rearfoot/midfoot runners performed forefoot strike pattern, increased step rate, anterior trunk lean and self-selected running gait modifications on an instrumented treadmill based on real-time biofeedback. Impact loading, perceived awkwardness and effort scores…
Aikuisten selän ryhtivirheet : leikkaushoidon pitkäaikaistulokset K-SKS:ssa
2017
Adult patients with degenerative deformities (ASD) benefit surgical treatment when exercise and pain medication seize to control their symptoms. Disability and clinical symptoms are stronger drivers against surgical treatment of ASD than radiographic changes. We present the results of 79 adult patients’ corrective surgery for degenerative spinal deformity of after 1-10 year follow-up. PI-LL (pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis) mismatch remained stable after correction during follow-up. Global sagittal balance indicated by sagittal vertical axis (SVA) and T1 pelvic angle (TPA) started deteriorating after 2.5 years postoperatively. 26 (32.9%) patients required reoperation. 77.1% of the pa…
Cross-border IT-support for the Management of International Subsidiary Operations: The Diffusion of Innovations-based Conceptual Model
2006
Rapid and effective internationalization has increasingly become important for high-tech companies. Establishing a foreign subsidiary can facilitate effective internationalization for a high-tech company. This study investigates how IT can provide cross-border support to manage international subsidiary operations and makes important theoretical contributions. The research results exhibit how companies can use cross-border IT-support to effectively share and utilize information from the target country environment for international subsidiary operations. This paper also introduces the diffusion of innovations-based conceptual model which deals with various factors that should be taken into ac…

"I felt like a lonely person in the desert" : a case study on factors moderating interunit communication in multinational headquarters-subsidiary rel…
2017
One of the biggest challenges for internationalizing businesses is to develop and maintain efficient internal communication processes across national and cultural borders. This thesis aims to examine what are the most important organizational structures and communicational practices for a successful multinational headquarters-subsidiary relationship, and what do the communicational practices, such as the mechanics of language use and interunit knowledge-transfer, imply about the efficiency of global co-operation. This study considers the experiences of one case company’s Finnish headquarters and Dutch subsidiary on internal communication in a crucial phase of internationalization. The data …
