Finland routinely ranks at the very top in international surveys of research and development funding, competitiveness, transparency, literacy, and education. Helsinki, is a pocket-sized green maritime metropolis, and the Design Capital for 2012; a yearlong event showcasing the global influence of Finnish design and innovation. In Finland, nature reigns supreme and it is no surprise that Helsinki was the site of the first LEED certified building in the Nordics. Finland, along with all its Nordic neighbors, has a focused interest in green build and energy efficient and intelligent building products, services and technologies. Contrary to popular misconception, Finland is not a part of Scandinavia.

Steering and Monitoring Model of State-Owned Enterprises Introduction Privatisation of stated-owned enterprises (SOEs) gained considerable momentum in developing and developed countries in the 1980s and 1990s (The World Bank, 2006, p. 3). Despite wide-ranging privatisation programmes, SOEs are still and will be an important part of many economies, especially in developing economies (La Porta, Lopez-de-Silanes, & Shleifer, 1999; Ezzamel, Wilmott, & Worthington, 2008; Vagliasindi, 2008; Ennser-Jedenastik, 2013).

  • BUSINESS ECOSYSTEMS ARE CREATING NEW OPPORTUNITIES for ASYMMETRIC PARTNERS Learning from Real-Life Ecosystems
    WORKING PAPER 25.11.2020 BUSINESS ECOSYSTEMS ARE CREATING NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR ASYMMETRIC PARTNERS Learning from real-life ecosystems Pinja Lyytikäinen Project Coordinator M.Sc. (Economics and Business Administration) Sitra Competition is increasing and client demands are changing. These changes are driving companies to develop new business and operating models, strategies, and partnerships that enable them to adapt faster to continuously evolving market conditions. Business ecosystems are one solution to this problem, as they offer a new, more flexible way of organising with different kinds of partners, allowing companies to access more capabilities and enabling them to scale faster. Asymmetric partners in particular are therefore encouraged to form partnerships, as different sized companies have their own strengths, but also weaknesses that can be complemented by a partner’s capabilities. Asymmetric partners mean that partners that have differences with their resource portfolios and market positions collaborate. There are already tens if not hundreds of ecosystems involving Finnish companies. Many lessons can be learned from these existing ecosystems concerning their structures, purposes and the industries that have already started to utilise this means of joint value creation. This working paper provides valuable information on these topics, as it collates key findings from a study on the collaboration between large companies and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in business ecosystems formed around data sharing between partners. The research findings show that it is beneficial for asymmetric partners to collaborate and share data, as it allows them strategic opportunities and operational benefits. 2 Sitra working paper © Sitra 2020 Business ecosystems are creating new opportunities for asymmetric partners This working paper is an outcome from a master’s thesis prepared by Pinja Lyytikäinen (Sitra) and co- operation with commentators Reko Lehti (Taival Advisory Oy), Marko Turpeinen (1001 Lakes Oy) and Jyrki Suokas (Sitra).
