Väitös tänään: Arvoa voi syntyä tai tuhoutua yhdessä digitaalisten palveluiden asiakkaiden kanssa

Tänään tulee päätökseen eräs aikakausi elämästäni kun viimeinenkin 'Phd Student' sisareni Juuli Lumivalo (ent. Lintula) puolustaa tänään väitöskirjaansa digitaalisten palveluiden arvon luomisen ja tuhoutumisen näkökulmista. 

/ Today is a special day as the 'last' of my Phd student sisters Juuli Lumivalo (former Lintula) defends her thesis on value co-creation and co-destruction of digital services. 

 Väitöstilaisuus alkaa klo 15:30 Suomen aikaa. / The Defence starts at 15:30 Finnish time

Väitöskirjan "Explaining Digital Service Users’ Pursuit of Value: A Value Co-creation and Co-destruction Perspective"kustoksena toimii professori Tuure Tuunanen ja vastaväittelijänä myös suosikki tietojärjestelmätieteilijäni Prof. Suprateek Sarker Virginian yliopistosta. Koronatilanteen vallitessa valitettavasti emme nää häntä tänään Jyväskylässä, jossa hän on usein vieraillut. 

/The custos performing is Prof. Tuure Tuunanen and the opponent is my personal favourite IS proferssor, Suprateek Sarker from University of Virginia, USA. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 situation he will be attending online instead of accompanying us in Jyväskylä where we have had the pleasure of seeing him often. 

This thesis reveals interesting connections between hedonistic and utilitarian drivers behind the use of similar digital services. Lumivalo has also looked at deeper into the concept of 'Value Co-destruction' of digital services which is a rather new phenomenon rising in the age of smart phone technologies. The idea is that when a service provider gives a service proposition to the client, value is not only created in the process, but also destroyed in some occasions.

 The dissertation will be a 'hybrid' model meaning that a small group can attend live in Agora while most of the audience can join over a Zoom link here: https://r.jyu.fi/dissertation-lintula-111220


Väitöksen toteutus on 'hypridi' eli me muutamat saavumme paikanpäälle Agoralle rajoitusten rajoissa mutta väitöstä voi yleisemmin seurata verkossa Zoomin yli tästä linkistä: (suositellaan Zoom-sovellusta tai Google Chrome selainta): https://r.jyu.fi/dissertation-lintula-111220
