Designers as innovators in organizational contexts : A proposal for a typology
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Task 2.2.2: Developing a Typology of the Roles of Designer and Design Competence in InnovationThe purpose of this paper is to specify and develop a classification scheme of the roles of designers in innovation, in particular to how they may contribute to business and economic growth and success. The purpose, in other words, is to make sense of such new concepts in the new and conflated field of innovation and design as “open innovation” and “co-designing” and of how to become an innovative and creative organization that is highly successful; whether talking about in-house designers, hiring design consultancies to work on product or service design or on organizational processes in commercial or public contextsDespite a high interest, there has been a paucity of research that would have defined or specified on the basis of case-based evidence, for example, roles that designers and their competence can have as a force for innovation. Such definition is the objective of our research project, Creativity for Growth and Innovation in Europe (Cre8tv.EU), where we define these roles and create a typology for the roles designers and design competence have for innovation and how such design involvement can be harnessed for creating competitive advantage of firms.

Human players at the center of an ecosystem : The case of video games in Finland
- 2015

Ingår i: Organization Studies. - 0170-8406 .- 1741-3044. ; , s. 1-22

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research on ecosystems as ways of organizing innovation and firm-level growth position a focal firm at the center of each ecosystem they study. This study of the video games industry in Finland argues that it can also be human users that are are at that center. In the birth and early developmental stages of the ecosystem or a game-design project, individual human beings can absorb and live with ambiguity and absence or fluidity of rules of the game, even be entertained by and enjoy such ambiguity.

Leveraging academic resistance to consumerism to strengthen the capitalist project : The case of Aalto University
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- •New public management, an emphasis on control, as well as consumerism, have grown their influence in universities. Taken too far, this kind of an influence can have destructive psychological and social outcomes on practices and institutions of good research, on academic collegiality, and on the peer review system. Yet, paradoxically, it appears fewer and fewer academics rise to the barricades to resist such developments. This paper analysis why and how do academics in favor of consumerism appear to win over academics in favor of collegiality?

Problem solving and problem search in design business management
- 2015
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In managing design and in managing as design, it makes sense to ask "why" before asking "what"; that is, it makes sense to ask first why is there a problem before asking what is a solution. Thought leadership on and implication of this simple idea is mapped across Stanford University, NEw York, London, Oxford, Gothenburg, Borås, Helsinki, and St. Petersburg.

Progress in the treatment and outcome of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients
- 2016

Ingår i: Expert Review of Clinical Immunology. - Borås / Helsinki : Taylor & Francis. - 1744-666X .- 1744-8409. ; , s. 1-33

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- This review discusses how treatment of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients has improved with attention to therapeutic quality and cost. The number of such patients in Western countries has increased rapidly. Similarly to what has been the trend in the management of adult IBD, the pediatric IBD therapy has become more active than earlier. High use of immunosuppressants has helped to control the extensive and aggressive course of pediatric IBD. Full disease control already at an early phase has advantages such as to preserve normal child growth and development, to maintain overall good health and quality of life, as well as to decrease the psychosocial burden of the disease. A key research direction is to develop the more active approach into a way to reduce healthcare costs by decreasing the so-far high rate of surgery of pediatric IBD patients.
