March 26, 2013. IBM: Research Virtual Recruiting,
This spring IBM Research and ASTRON invites professors, scientists and qualified university students to participate in a virtual recruiting event for several open positions on the DOME project including research staff members, post-doc and pre-doc.
DOME is a five-year collaboration between IBM and ASTRON, The Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, to research extremely fast, but low-power exascale computer systems targeted for the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The SKA is an international consortium to build the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope. Scientists estimate that the processing power required to operate the telescope will be equal to several millions of today's fastest computers.
The project will investigate emerging technologies for large-scale and efficient exascale computing, data transport and storage processes, and streaming analytics that will be required to read, store and analyze all the raw data that will be collected daily. Scientists from both organizations will collaborate at the newly established ASTRON & IBM Center for Exascale Technology in Dwingeloo, The Netherlands.
Date & Time: March 26, 2013, 19:00 (17:00 CET)
Place: Worldwide virtual event
Qualified MS, and PhD students must be progressing towards degrees in engineering, science, IT majors, or other research related majors.
For the full agenda and more details visit http://www.zurich.ibm.com/astron/

February 22, 2013. Defence of dissertation on innovation and development activities in professional service firms,
M.Sc. (Econ.) Tiina Tuominen will defend the dissertation “Innovation and Development Activities in Professional Service Firms – a Role Structure Perspective” on 22 February 2013 in lecture hall AS1, Otaniementie 17, Espoo. The dissertation explores role structures in innovation and development activities in professional service firms.
Whereas innovation and development activities in some firms are organised as a separate function, in professional service firms (PSFs) these activities are often dispersed throughout the organisation. Professional employees are recognised as key individuals who often carry out these activities more or less autonomously alongside their normal service work. Knowledge of how such a system works might bring new insights into so-called employee-driven innovation, which is creating interest in many organisational settings. This dissertation uses the theories of social structure and roles to address this issue. The study shows the multiplicity of role structures in innovation and development activities within a PSF. It describes the autonomous nature of innovation and development activities and flexibility in role structures in five case firms.
Welcome!
Date & Time: February 22, 2013, 12:00
Place: Hall AS1, Otaniementie 17, Espoo
The dissertation will be available at http://lib.tkk.fi/Diss

February 21, 2013. Lecture on Voyeurism and Exhibitionism on Social Networking Sites: an Explanation for Viral Growth,
We would like to welcome you to a lecture on voyeurism and exhibitionism on social networking sites by guest lecturer Kalle Lyytinen of Case Western Reserve University. The lecture will be held on February 21 starting at 14:15 in Chydenia building.
Content Description
Social Networking Sites (SNS) – designed to provide an evolving array of user generated content – often grow virally as they continually enroll new users and integrate new components. Yet, such continuous growth is never guaranteed as demonstrated by the fate of Friendster or MySpace. Currently, we know little what factors explain viral growth of SNS. The well-known economic theories that draw upon the idea of positive network externalities in explaining viral growth are of limited use due to the purely social nature (outside valuation) of exchanges that take place on a SNS. Similarly, popular technology adoption models like the Technology Acceptance Model ignore the social dynamics of a SNS as they originally were proposed to explain the adoption of a single tool by single-user.
We use the viral growth model to define the two critical factors influencing viral growth- fan out and retention. Drawing upon theories of social exchange we then formulate the construct of 'co-creation' – the mutual creation and use of user generated content (UGC) – as an instrumental factor in promoting viral growth. We next identify two identity based antecedents of co-creation: voyeurism – the desire and enjoyment of seeing the 'others' – and exhibitionism – the enjoyment of being seen. Using these factors build a mediated research model of viral growth on the SNS. We use a survey among 1449 SNS users to validate the model. We observe that, indeed, co-creation of UGC positively and significantly mediates the effect of users' voyeurism and exhibitionism on viral growth. Several implications for research and managerial practices are discussed.
