A Qualitative Study on the Categorisation and Prioritisation of Digital Competencies and Attitudes for Managers and Employees
2021
Digital transformation is a mega-trend and is perceived by many companies as an opportunity to remain competitive. The digital competencies and digital mindset of managers and employees play an important role. Without new competencies and changed attitudes, the transformation cannot be driven forward. Research on digital transformation competencies in the field of companies is limited and little evidence exists on which digital competencies, and skills are particularly important for companies. In this study, a systematic literature review was used to identify digital competencies and attitudes and classify them into six categories. With a focus group discussion, four digitalisation experts …

Exploring 2040 : Global Trends and International Policies Setting Frames for the Finnish Wood-Based Economy
2022
Global trends influence the approaches and mindset for using natural resources and technological capacities. Participatory scenario methods have proven useful in long-term foresight. However, country-level foresight studies often ignore the broader trends affecting international markets and setting frames for economic development. This study envisions which global trends could occur and how the resulting European policies might affect the Finnish forest sector’s development in 2040. We applied a Futures Wheel approach, where stakeholder groups consisting of policy-, economic- and social sustainability-, technology-, and climate sustainability -experts in the field of forestry and interlinki…
Challenges and trends in comparative higher education: an editorial
2013
[Introduction] International comparative higher education research has proliferated since its institutionalization as an interdisciplinary field in the 1960s and 1970s (Jarausch 1985) and has gained special momentum in the 1990s (Teichler 1996). On the one hand, the benefits of comparative research approaches in international higher education have been repeatedly emphasized (Altbach and Kelly 1985; Teichler 1996; Rhoades 2001). These include, for example, increasing the capacity to generalize about a greater number of units under analysis, the capacity of a systematic comparison to illuminate the dynamics of a particular system better than a single-system study as well as highlighting knowl…

Hypes and the birth of new sustainable market categories – a socio-cultural perspective on the emergence of the meat substitute category in Finland
2022
Hypes can be a significant contributor in the mainstreaming of sustainable products. Former research on hypes has been supplier oriented, and thus little is known of their effect on new market formation. Our paper contributes to this research gap by examining the establishment of the ‘meat substitute’ category in Finland using press articles, retailer interviews and consumer panel data. We show how the emergence and legitimation of the meat substitute category depended heavily on the hype arising around a single product, called Pulled Oats (PO). This hype was anchored in its association with trendy and socio-culturally relevant values and practices. We further discover that the hype had pos…
Kuntosalitreeni : maailmanmitan trendi
2021
Kuntosaliharjoittelusta on 50 vuodessa kehittynyt yksi nopeimmin kasvavista fyysisen aktiivisuuden muodoista. Siitä on tullut maailmanlaajuisesti liki 200 miljoonan ihmisen harrastus. Kysynnän kasvaessa erilaisten kuntoilupalveluiden tarjonta on etenkin 2000-luvulla lisääntynyt räjähdysmäisesti. Samalla osa kuntosaleista on muuttunut liikunnan ohella terveys- ja hyvinvointipalvelujen tuottajaksi. nonPeerReviewed
Katsaus 2000-luvun suomalaisiin etunimiin
2018
Kirja-arvostelu teoksesta Saarelma-Paukkala, Minna: Etunimikirja. Suomalaiset nimitrendit 2000-luvulla. SKS, 2017. 268 sivua. ISBN 978-952-222-831-4. Minna Saarelma-Paukkalan Etunimikirja jatkaa edeltäjiensä viitoittamalla tiellä. Se tarkastelee aiemmista vastaavista teoksista tuttuja teemoja 2010-luvulle päivitettyinä. Ajankohtaista etunimitutkimusta esittelevästä teoksesta jää puuttumaan historiantutkimuksen näkökulma aiempien vuosikymmenten nimistöön, samoin kuin viimeaikaisen pohjoismaisen tutkimuksen tuloksia. Omimmillaan tekijä on kuvatessaan nimipäiväkalenterin uudistamisen viimeisimpiä vaiheita, joissa hän on ollut itsekin aktiivisesti mukana, ja tästä uudistustyöstä olisi ollut kii…
