ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Global Market Entry for Finnish SME eCommerce Companies JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2021 A1 - Marko Mäki A1 - Tuija Toivola KW - Digital disruption KW - eCommerce KW - Global eCom KW - internationalization KW - university cooperation AB - The aim of this paper is to contribute to knowledge about the expansion of eCommerce (eCom) operations by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to global markets. We investigate the literature on eCom and reflect on our experiences working with several Finnish eCom companies and consulting firms to boost their global sales. In addition, one important goal of our study was to acquire knowledge and boost participants' learning of fast growing digital business models. Our findings show that digital disruption and digitalization in general are driving forces behind eCom growth. The study's conclusions underline the importance of targeted marketing activities, knowledge sharing, and capability building for global eCom operations.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Perspectives from Higher Education: Applied Sciences University Teachers on the Digitalization of the Bioeconomy JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2021 A1 - Essi Ryymin KW - Applied Sciences Universities KW - Bioeconomy KW - Digital disruption KW - Higher Education Teachers KW - Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) AB - The bioeconomy is being disrupted due to global trends of digitalization and automation. Knowledge-intensive businesses and sustainable solutions in carbon-smart food production have resulted in various consequences for the professionals working in and for bioeconomy. This paper examines bioeconomy teachers' perceptions of digitalization. It draws on research data from semi-structured focus-group interviews that were conducted with bioeconomy teachers in applied sciences higher education. The theoretical frame for the analysis was Mishra and Koehler's (2006) teacher knowledge framework for technology integration called Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). The results suggest that although applied sciences university teachers have strong Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), they need more systematic approach and support to develop Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) in a disruptive field. Teaching in a rapidly transforming discipline, like bioeconomy, requires continuous co-development of all TPACK knowledge components by teachers.
