Julkisten palveluiden tuotteistaminen : Konstruktivistinen malli ammattikorkeakoulun tutkimus-, kehitys- ja innovaatiotoimintaan
No full textAbstractThe growth of companies is critical in the renewal of any nation. Research has shown that companies collaborating with higher education are more innovative and development oriented, and more likely to grow in staffing and turnover and to penetrate to international markets.The new public management ideology, especially wrapped up in a funding method, has gradually forced the university of applied sciences (UAS) research, development, and innovation (RDI) services to enhance the performance in the industry. By productization, UAS are to adopt the design thinking ideology, to introduce service-dominant logic, and enhance public-private partnership. With well-designed services, the social and environmental impacts of UAS are intensified. It is the outmost target of new public management.With its constructive research approach, this dissertation was aimed at generating a new contribution to the conduct of RDI activities in the UAS context. It demonstrates the dimensions that alter the UAS RDI service encountering conditions. Furthermore, the study considers the challenges and cornerstones of the prevailing customer-oriented business model and reframes the uniform, systematic model to the UAS RDI service encountering process.This research is unique, as the academic service encountering process from the perspective of productization has seldom been the key issue investigated in research. The practical significance of the dissertation is to contribute to the exchange and experience of the UAS-industry collaboration.TiivistelmäKorkeakouluyhteistyötä tekevät yritykset ovat innovatiivisempia ja kehittämisorientoituneempia, useammin voimakkaan kasvuhakuisia, henkilöstömäärältään ja liikevaihdoltaan suurempia ja toimivat useammin valtakunnallisilla ja kansainvälisillä markkinoilla.

The growth of companies is critical in the renewal of any nation. Research has shown that companies collaborating with higher education are more innovative and development oriented, and more likely to grow in staffing and turnover and to penetrate to international markets.
The new public management ideology, especially wrapped up in a funding method, has gradually forced the university of applied sciences (UAS) research, development, and innovation (RDI) services to enhance the performance in the industry. By productization, UAS are to adopt the design thinking ideology, to introduce service-dominant logic, and enhance public-private partnership. With well-designed services, the social and environmental impacts of UAS are intensified. It is the outmost target of new public management.

Korkeakouluyhteistyötä tekevät yritykset ovat innovatiivisempia ja kehittämisorientoituneempia, useammin voimakkaan kasvuhakuisia, henkilöstömäärältään ja liikevaihdoltaan suurempia ja toimivat useammin valtakunnallisilla ja kansainvälisillä markkinoilla. Suomalaiset yritykset osaavat hyödyntää ammattikorkeakouluopiskelijoiden harjoitteluja ja opinnäytteitä kehittämistyössään. Sen sijaan tutkimus-, kehittämis-, ja innovaatiopalvelut (TKI-palvelut) ovat toimintoja, mitkä yritykset tunnistavat edellistä heikommin voimavarakseen.
Tämän väitöstutkimuksen kirjallisuuskatsaus osoittaa, miten korkeakoulupolitiikan muutos on ohjannut akateemista intressiä yritysyhteistyön suuntaan (uusi julkisjohtamisen oppi), ja miten julkisen sektorin suhde yksityisiin toimijoihin on muuttunut (julkisen ja yksityisen sektorin kumppanuus). Tutkimuskysymyksenä on, miten asiakaslähtöisyys (palvelumuotoilu, suunnitteluajattelu) tukevat näitä tavoitteita, ja mitä haasteita ja mahdollisuuksia palveluprosessin systematiikassa on.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Productization of Academic Research Services – A Framework for Business, Service, and Operational Models
Full text linkCollaboration in research between universities and industry is crucial for national development and innovation. However, as public organizations undergo restructuring and align with private sector advancements, navigating this transition can be challenging. Our approach aims to describe the essential components of academic service productization in response to new public management, aligning them with private sector needs. We adopted an integrative literature review, drawing from literature on new public management, public–private partnership logic, service-dominant logic, service design, design thinking, and service productization. Our framework, based on the objectives of the socio-economic learning economy—competence renewal, development acceleration, obtaining appropriate services, and increasing awareness and trust—forms the basis of our analysis. The main contribution lies in a framework that delineates the connection between business, service, and operational models. This study posits that new public management-oriented universities should consider private partners as co-creators in research and design service models that optimize processes for efficient collaboration. To ensure mutual understanding of research service deliverables and achieve joint desired outcomes, the productized operating model needs to be established to scale the delivery of service items

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
