- Information technology penetration in the automotive industry has forced education in upper secondary vocational teaching to radically change. In car mechanic training this has an influence on traditional teaching methods as well as upon the substance of the education. At the same time education is generally changing to use social media (SOME) tools in various novel pedagogical settings. SOME may be seen as one solution to the challenges to the automotive sector. However, teachers need to be motivated to enter into a new era of education. In this case study we explore the upper secondary vocational teachers' ability to utilize SOME in teaching. We planned, tested and verified an assessment tool for evaluating SOME skills among vocational teachers. We also planned and provided training for vocational teachers in the use of SOME tools. Our findings were that the ability to utilize SOME tools among vocational teachers was not good and teachers were surprisingly conservative towards new educational technology. We discovered that utilizing an assessment survey questionnaire before and feedback questionnaire afterwards, greatly benefited a training course by plugging existing knowledge gaps and planning the training accordingly.

- To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new identification tool for insects and spiders, as based on this resource. The reference library contains mtDNA COI barcodes for 11,275 (43%) of 26,437 arthropod species known from Finland, including 10,811 (45%) of 23,956 insect species. To quantify the improvement in identification accuracy enabled by the current reference library, we ran 1000 Finnish insect and spider species through the Barcode of Life Data system (BOLD) identification engine. Of these, 91% were correctly assigned to a unique species when compared to the new reference library alone, 85% were correctly identified when compared to BOLD with the new material included, and 75% with the new material excluded. To capitalize on this resource, we used the new reference material to train a probabilistic taxonomic assignment tool, FinPROTAX, scoring high success. For the full-length barcode region, the accuracy of taxonomic assignments at the level of classes, orders, families, subfamilies, tribes, genera, and species reached 99.9%, 99.9%, 99.8%, 99.7%, 99.4%, 96.8%, and 88.5%, respectively. The FinBOL arthropod reference library and FinPROTAX are available through the Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility (www.laji.fi) at https://laji.fi/en/theme/protax. Overall, the FinBOL investment represents a massive capacity-transfer from the taxonomic community of Finland to all sectors of society.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Scholars and practitioners of knowledge management have paid increasing attention to the adoption of social media in business-to-business (B2B) setting for knowledge sharing; however, both the theoretical and empirical research in this domain are quite fragmented. The aim of this research is to deepen the understanding about the B2B companies’ awareness of the potentials of social media in improving their absorptive capacity and, consequently, if and how such companies deploy knowledge strategies based on social media adoption. We carried out an empirical survey of Finnish technology companies operating purely in B2B markets. Results highlight that social media adoption is still in a preliminary stage of development. Companies show a lack of awareness of the potentials of social media as a means for external knowledge acquisition and internal dissemination. Results suggest a strong need of a structured approach to the adoption of social media to overcome cultural and organisational barriers.

- Co-learning, also known as collaborative learning, is a method of learning and teaching in which a team of learners together explore a significant question or create a meaningful project. A group of learners working together over the Internet on a shared assignment of creating a blog is an example of a virtual co-learning environment [1]. According to Jarvenpaa et al. [2], a virtual team member's trust in his/her team operates as a moderator, indirectly affecting the relationships between team communication and perceptual learning outcomes. Therefore, we first executed team-building exercises in virtual teams. Secondly, we instructed students to use blogging tools and create their own blog pages. Thirdly, we carried out a survey among students to assess the learning experiences in such a virtual co-learning environment. We have experimented with blogging as a co-learning environment among university students in the international course context. These experiments were conducted among a group of 39 students enrolled on an international knowledge management graduate course. We observed team building in virtual teams via team-building exercises [2]. We assessed the content of the blog pages and conducted a survey at the end of the course. In the paper, we discuss co-learning in virtual teams, introduce the results from the survey questionnaire and introduce live links to some sample blog pages.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- IMP research is often treated as an empirical perspective describing complexities of repeated business-to-business exchanges and their embeddedness. While building on some common understandings and concepts, this paper asks: How homogeneous is the IMP research? This paper uses cluster analysis to capture the roots and various sub-groups of IMP research as means to depict the question of homogeneity (i.e. a core focus in the research) or heterogeneity (i.e. using references from other fields or specific to sub-fields) of the IMP thought. In this scientific work in progress paper we introduce how we design to use bibliographical methods in order to harvest data from an extensive amount of IMP-related articles written from the 1970’s onwards. In this first attempt to reveal IMP we used overall 294 articles yielded to 10,615 co-citation relationships. A threshold of minimum number of citations of a cited reference was set to five (5) to capture such references that have been cited in multiple publications. We introduce visual mapping of defined subject area clusters and as an example we describe shortly clusters. Perhaps not surprisingly our findings suggest that IMP research is not so homogenous, with at least four clear clusters of IMP-research each utilizing different key referenfernces.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Increased focus in popular press has been directed at how individuals born at different times differ in their preferences and ways of acting. Generation Z (Gen Z) refers to individuals born in the 1990s that are often described to be self-centred but also entrepreneurial, potentially based on how the abilities to get at permanent position has changed during the last decades. The purpose of this study is to investigate: What does Gen Z consider important organizational innovation factors at a future workplace? Based on a questionnaire directed at individuals as part of Gen Z, we focus our analysis on innovation enablers, to thereby also see how Gen Z’s expectations fit with needs to continuously and increasingly rapidly renew operations. With this study we contribute to a greater academic understanding of a new and in Sweden relatively unexplored Gen Z. The practical implication of the study is to provide employers with guidelines on how to create successful innovation incubation environments at their workplace.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This research was conducted in order to explore the attitude towards social media use among students in technical university. In particular, there is a need for novel interaction means in order to co-create and learn informally also beyond the traditional classroom. The motivation for seeking answer to the research question: "What risks students experience in social media use?" derived from the need to discover learning barriers in social media based learning environments, such as learning games, blogs and wikis for example. The assumptions, beliefs and attitudes towards social media are studied from the perspective of perceived risks of the students. The study was conducted among graduate students attending "Knowledge Management" course between the years 2014-2016. A web-based survey was executed annually, with a total of 206 respondents. Based on the results we were able to categorize the perceived risks and derive implications on how to lower learning barriers of students in social media based learning environments.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Tämä tutkimus on esiselvitys suomalaisen meriteollisuuden verkostotoiminnan tilasta. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, mitä aihealueita meriklusterin verkoston toiminnassa kannattaisi jatkotutkia.Tutkimuksen aikana suoritettiin kaksi kohdennettua kyselytutkimusta meriklusterin verkoston toimijoille. Kyselyt lähetettiin 392:en sähköpostiosoitteeseen vuoden 2009 lopulla ja kakkosvaiheessa vuoden 2010 alkupuolella. Vastausprosentti tutkimuskyselyyn oli 12 %. Tutkimuksen suunnitteli ja tutkimuskysymykset laati Tampereen teknillisen yliopiston tuotantotalouden sekä tiedonhallinnan ja logistiikan laitoksen yhteinen tutkimusryhmä. Yoso Oy avusti kyselyn laatimisessa ja kyselytutkimuksen tulosten analysoinnissa. Kysely toteutettiin Yoso Oy:n Internet-pohjaisella kyselytyökalulla.Tutkimuksessa löytyi useita tutkimuksen kannalta mielenkiintoisia osa-alueita koskien verkoston toimintaa. Tässä raportissa julkaistaan tutkimuksen tulokset ja raportin lopussa pohditaan johtopäätöksiä tuloksista. Yleisesti voidaan todeta, että meriklusterin verkoston toiminta on suomalaisen meriteollisuuden kilpailukyvyn näkökulmasta avainasemassa. Verkoston kilpailukykyyn vaikuttavia havaittuja potentiaalisia tutkimusalueita ovat mm. miten verkostossa synnytetään ja vaalitaan kilpailukykyä edistäviä innovaatioita (liiketoiminta- sekä teknologiainnovaatiot), miten arvontuotossa ilmeneviä ongelmia verkostossa kommunikoidaan sekä esim. kilpailukykyisen toiminnan vaatiman integraation aste verkostossa. Verkoston tehokkuuteen ja tuottavuuteen vaikuttavia tutkimuksen arvoisia tekijöitä havaittiin olevan mm. toimintojen kypsyys, horisontaalinen ja vertikaalinen dynamiikka verkostossa sekä arvonmuodostuksen mekanismit. Tulevaisuuteen tähtäävän globaalin verkottuneen toiminnan näkökulmasta tutkimisen arvoista olisi mm. luottamuksen synnyttäminen virtuaalisessa verkostossa (toimijat ovat maantieteellisesti ja kulttuurisesti etäällä toisistaan), verkostotoiminnan kypsyys pk-sektorilla sekä arvontuottokyvykkyys verkoston välityksellä.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Network analysis is a valuable method for investigating and mapping the phenomena driving the social structure and sharing the findings with others. This article contributes to an emerging field of 'smart data' research on Twitter by presenting a case study of how community managers in Finland used this social media platform to construct an informal learning environment around an annually organized conference. In this empirical study we explore informal learning behavior in the project context, especially by analyzing and visualizing informal learning behavior from Twitter data using the Ostinato Model introduced in this paper. Ostinato is an iterative, user-centric, process-automated model for data-driven visual network analytics.
