Entrepreneurial Spirit Paving the Way for Successful AI Deployment in Knowledge Work and Organizations
Authors: Lahtinen Anna , Saaranen Pirjo 
Published: September 2024

The rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have significantly shifted the landscape of work, altering the roles of experts and knowledge workers across various domains (Humala et al. 2023). This paper explores the pivotal role of key competencies – self-efficacy, job crafting, and proactivity – in navigating the technological transformation brought about by AI in work settings. The three key competencies were previously identified as the main building blocks of the entrepreneurial spirit that is necessary for the successful use of AI in knowledge work and organizations (Humala & Lahtinen 2023, Ruohonen & Humala 2022). The research paper draws insights from a quantitative nation-wide survey that was carried out among knowledge workers in Finland. The survey was conducted during February-March 2024, with the insights gained from 474 informants. The research was funded by The Finnish Work Environment Fund and conducted by Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences based in Helsinki. Results show that while the integration of AI in knowledge work environments generally supports self-efficacy, job crafting, and proactivity, the effects are varied, showing both enhancement and, in some cases, diminishment. The findings indicate that AI’s positive influence is most pronounced among those engaged in high levels of knowledge-based tasks and who maintain a positive outlook toward new technologies. This research also highlights some disparity in experiences between different groups, particularly between younger and older knowledge workers with early- and late-careers as well as those in different work positions, pointing to the need for tailored organizational support to ensure equitable benefits from AI technologies. The research reveals that AI can significantly foster proactivity in the workplace, particularly when employees are equipped with sufficient information and resources. Ultimately, this exploration aims to provide insights into developing AI-supported business models that not only leverage the human entrepreneurial spirit but also foster an inclusive environment that enhances organizational competitiveness and innovation.

Published: September 2024

Currently, worldwide there is an accelerated digital transformation, which will continue in time with the same trend, becoming an everyday part of human life. The appearance of covid-19 has had a strong impact on several aspects of life, especially in the way of acquiring products and/or services, which, due to the fear of receiving money from a person infected with the virus, led people to look for other options to carry out their economic transactions without physical contact, such as the use of electronic wallets. However, many entrepreneurs still do not use this type of technology in their businesses. The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of the use of electronic wallets in the commercial transactions of SMEs. To this end, we worked with entrepreneurs in the town of Otuzco in the La Libertad Region of Peru. It was observed that they only carried out transactions using the cash collection and payment method and did not use technological tools such as electronic wallets. This is applied research with a quasi-experimental design, cross-sectional and quantitative approach, with a sample of 88 SMEs divided into a control group (23 SMEs) and an experimental group (65 SMEs). The survey was used as a data collection technique, and a program was developed to promote the use of electronic wallets in the entrepreneurs of the city of Otuzco, obtaining as a result a positive impact on the commercial transactions of these SMEs. The results show that 96% of the merchants were reluctant to use electronic wallets for fear of being affected by computer crimes. After the training, 98% of the merchants monitored recognized the importance of their use in their regular commercial transactions. In conclusion, it was found that training on the use of electronic wallets and continuous monitoring have a positive impact on the level of commercial transactions, boosting the competitiveness of businesses by increasing sales, streamlining operations, and reducing financial costs. The research is of interest because it shows the importance of disseminating programs in the use of technological tools such as digital wallets in small businesses to achieve a positive impact on the improvement of their economic activities.

Published: September 2024

Inter-organizational data sharing in healthcare is fraught with challenges, including diverse healthcare terminologies, incompatible data structures, and issues with data consistency and security. Establishing a unified patient record across a data-sharing network is problematic, and centralized data stores and authority providers are prime targets for cyberattacks. This study proposes a blockchain-based patient data-sharing strategy that relies on network consensus rather than a single, centralized source of trust. The consensus is based on evidence of both structural and semantic interoperability. The primary objective is to develop secure and controlled data-sharing mechanisms that enhance care coordination. The research utilized Kanban as the software development methodology to manage the project effectively. The study found that blockchain-based electronic health record (EHR) systems significantly enhance care coordination by enabling seamless data transfer and fostering trust and collaboration among healthcare providers. Key findings include improved data consistency, enhanced security, and increased interoperability across diverse healthcare systems. These results suggest that blockchain technology can play a crucial role in transforming healthcare delivery and improving patient outcomes in the context of Health 4.0. This work contributes to the ongoing discussion on leveraging blockchain technology to revolutionize healthcare systems, offering a robust framework for secure and efficient data sharing that can lead to better healthcare delivery and patient care outcomes.

Authors: Ophir Dan 
Published: September 2024

In recent years a new term related to GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) has become very popular among professional society members who develop and use computing applications. This trend has inspired entrepreneurship in education in the following aspects: Academic – in the Computer Science and Management Departments Non-academic - studies for high school pupils and for adults who wish to enrich their education. The purpose of these studies is to popularise science, technology, and art using innovative methods to make these subjects attractive. Academic entrepreneurship requires students to be innovative, namely, to create a project using their acquired professional skills. The work, called the final project, is a part of the students’ academic requirements at universities. As a promoter of these projects, I have been giving the students proposals, suggestions, and inspiration for the subjects of their projects. The article mentions and describes a database with hundreds of recommendations for subjects for projects as well as projects completed by students who previously finished their final project. This project’s database is used as a model for the current students. The database includes the project’s hierarchical classification along with subsections, according to their theme, innovation level, and completeness, indicating their practical or theoretical properties. The following projects are a sample demonstrating the variety of the final projects, for example: “Analysing the voiceless languages”, “Double buffer economic boiler”, and “Creating the most consensual coalition”. The second aspect of the entrepreneurship being developed is a series of lectures “The Popularisation of the Science and the Art”. This collection of lectures includes an innovative method for preparing and presenting the lectures, connecting attractively the way in which science and art are popularised together for an audience in a wide spectrum of society. The Power-Point presentations contain built-in programs, demonstrating dynamic and user-friendly theoretical issues that are accessible using artistic, visual, and acoustic effects, such as known clips, classical and modern paintings, sculptures, music, and other artistic creations. Some of the subjects in this series of lectures are as follows: “Cryptology”, “Illusions”, “Architecture and Mathematics”, and “Polarisation index in the society”. The main difference between the two above entrepreneurships is that in the first case, the main innovation lies in finding the subject of each final project, whereas in the second case, the innovation relies on its implementation, namely, its multi-media and multi-disciplinary presentation.

Published: September 2024

The use of Instagram as a social media marketing tool in educational institutions is gaining more and more attention. This article explores the relationship between school size and a school's Instagram presence, activity, and engagement. Specifically, the investigation focuses on answering the question of whether larger schools are more likely to have an Instagram account, post more frequently, and generate higher levels of interaction. The paper examines the role of Instagram in social media marketing within educational institutions, focusing on the relationship between school size and a school's presence, activity and engagement on Instagram. The research addresses three main hypotheses. Namely, that schools that have higher pupil numbers are more likely to have an Instagram account, schools with higher pupil numbers are more likely to post on Instagram, and schools with higher pupil numbers experience higher overall interaction (in the form of likes and comments) on their Instagram posts. An empirical quantitative research method was used. Statistical validation was carried out using Pearson's correlation coefficient and data from 444 schools were analysed. The results confirmed significant correlations between the number of pupils and the likelihood of having an Instagram account, frequency of posts and overall interaction. The paper further explores the effect of post frequency on follower numbers, finding a relationship that the more posts the higher the engagement, this does not necessarily lead to higher follower numbers. In addition, the study examines the link between the number of followers and the number of posts published by Reels, revealing a correlation. This suggests that a larger number of followers predicts a larger number of posts by Reels. Nevertheless, this highlights the need for a balanced content strategy. The above findings provide important insights into effective social media marketing strategies for educational institutions. The value of this study lies in its practical implications for school administrators and marketing professionals aiming to strengthen their institution's social media presence. The study concludes by highlighting the key role of Instagram in educational marketing and offering evidence-based recommendations for optimizing social media strategies to achieve better engagement and visibility.
From Farm to Fork: Addressing Food Waste in Households
Authors: Hoffmann-Kuhnt Beatriz Sobral 
Published: September 2024

With the rising environmental awareness, the issue of food waste is drawing considerable attention from civil society, scholars, industry practitioners and policymakers alike. Addressing food waste is crucial, as it incurs a variety of social, health, economic and environmental costs, including greenhouse gas emissions, soil degradation and the depletion of natural resources. The objective of this study is to analyze processes in food waste management to gain insight into factors influencing consumer behaviour, attitudes, and practices regarding consumption and food waste and loss prevention in the supply chain. This requires the analysis of decision making methods and waste reduction strategies and approaches, particularly for households. The goal is to emphasize the importance of raising consumer awareness and sense of individual responsibility, especially given the recent surge in collective community intentions to live more sustainably. However, translating these intentions into tangible actions is uncertain and filled with socio-economic complexities. Reports indicate that, households are responsible for approximately half of all food waste generated. Therefore, it's important to review the literature on barriers and triggers related to behaviour patterns and variations in food related lifestyle dimensions, to determine the factors that might influence food handling and food waste knowledge. Targeting households presents a promising starting point for future interventions, highlighting actions that may influence the current food consumption model to reduce the amount of food wasted. The methodological approach was structured into three steps. First, a literature review was conducted to gather insights and identify factors and interconnections between consumer behaviour and food waste. Second, related drivers and triggers were analysed. Lastly, the findings were summarized to highlight gaps and opportunities for improving attitudes towards food waste prevention.
