2025 | Sirkka L Jarvenpaa and Liisa Välikangas
This essay examines how emerging relations between digital technology, people, and organizations create trajectories for learning but also may reduce organizational intelligence. We study these trajectories from the perspective of three organizational learning models by looking at each one’s premises related to experience, continuity, and time.
2024 | NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence
This publication has been prepared in the framework of the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence’s (NATO StratCom COE) project, which explores foreign hostile influence in the Nordic-Baltic region since 2016. This paper looks at Russia’s information influence operations in each of the eight countries (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden – the NB8) by explaining the historical context and drawing on a number of case studies (2018 – 2023).
2025 - 2026 | Migration as a Tool of Hybrid Warfare
This project’s primary objective is to deepen our understanding of migration in hybrid warfare, providing insights into the strategic implications for border security and defence policy.
The project will develop a conceptual framework that positions migration as a tool, or weapon, of hybrid warfare, advancing theory on hybrid warfare and security dynamics.
2025 | Detecting pro-kremlin disinformation using large language models
A growing body of literature examines manipulative information by detecting political mis-/disinformation in text data. This line of research typically involves highly costly manual annotation of text for manual content analysis, and/or training and validating automated downstream approaches. We examine whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can detect pro-Kremlin disinformation about the war in Ukraine, focusing on the case of the downing of the civilian flight MH17. We benchmark methods using a large set of tweets labeled by expert annotators.
2022 | Competition from informal firms and product innovation in EU candidate countries: A bounded rationality approach
This study extends the literature that has investigated firms' readiness to confront competition from informal (unregistered) firms by responding through intensified product innovation activities. Drawing on the bounded rationality perspective, we unravel new insights into the relationship between the threat from informal competitors and product innovation by identifying two external contingencies (intellectual property rights protection and regulatory quality) and two internal contingencies (export intensity and top manager's sector experience).
