Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on market orientation in retail banking
2021
AbstractThis qualitative study examines the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the implementation of market orientation (MO) in the context of retail banking. The findings show that MO was significantly reflected in the behaviors of banks upon encountering the COVID-19 situation, with the banks increasing their MO in response to the crisis. This study finds subcategories based on the empirical data that explain the implementation of MO in more detail. Overall, the findings provide valuable conceptual and managerial insights into the modus operandi of banks during a crisis and offer new best practices for the banking industry.
Cyberharassment Victimization on Three Continents : An Integrative Approach
2022
This article introduces and applies an integrative model of cyberharassment victimization. The model combines routine activity theory (RAT), the general theory of crime (GTC), and the personal resources approach to analyze risk factors for victimization while acknowledging the protective role of a sense of mastery. Survey respondents were aged 15 to 25 years (N = 4816) from the U.S., Finland, Spain, and South Korea. Logistic regression models were used to analyze cyberharassment victimization. RAT-related factors were positively associated with cyberharassment victimization. Low self-control was positively associated with cyberharassment victimization in the U.S., Finland, and Spain but not…

Unwanted Literal Translation: An Underdiscussed Problem in International Achievement Studies
2012
In international achievement studies, a common test is typically used which is translated into the languages of the participating countries. For the test to be valid, all the translations and different-language test versions need to be equally difficult to read and answer. An underestimated and underdiscussed threat to this validity is unwanted literal translation. This paper discusses the problem of unwanted literal translation in international achievement studies. It defines what is meant by unwanted literal translation and explains why it is a threat to the validity of international achievement studies and why it is so difficult to avoid. It also discusses problems there have been when t…
Problems and Issues in Translating International Educational Achievement Tests
2013
The article reviews research and findings on problems and issues faced when translating international academic achievement tests. The purpose is to draw attention to the problems, to help to develop the procedures followed when translating the tests, and to provide suggestions for further research. The problems concentrate on the following: the unique and demanding purpose of the translation task, the partly contradictory task specifications and translation instructions, the indecision as to whether to produce one or two target versions, the indecision as to whether to use one or two source versions, inadequate revision and verification, deficient translator competences, and a lack of time.…
Benzin im Blut oder Gas and blood : Eine Übersetzungsnalyse von ausgewählten Songtexten von Tokio Hotel
2018
Saksalaisbändi Tokio Hotel eli 2000-luvun puolivälissä kulta-aikaansa saavuttaen suurta suosiota kotimaansa lisäksi ympäri Eurooppaa. Kasvava mielenkiinto bändiä kohtaan erityisesti Euroopan rajojen ulkopuolella aiheutti painetta laajentaa markkinoita; käytännössä tämä tarkoitti laulukielen vaihtamista saksasta englantiin. Tässä kandidaatintutkielmassa analysoidaankin Tokio Hotelin kahden saksankielisen kappaleen käännösprosessia englantiin; mitkä kielelliset ja lyyriset elementit ovat säilyneet samankaltaisina ja toisaalta millaisia eroja käännetyissä versioissa esiintyy. Tutkielmassa havaittiin, että pääpiirteittäin englanninkieliset versiot jäljittelevät alkuperäisiä saksankielisiä kappa…
