  • Organizing Innovation - Innovating Organization

    University of Helsinki

    This book addresses the question: how does new organizational structure emerge in interpersonal communication during product development? The study focuses on the development of a mobile Internet service called the Mobile Messaging Board at Satama Interactive, an Internet consulting and design company. A unique research method is used to analyze how companies can trigger innovation by initiating "critical transitions" between unconnected sites of conversations, both face-to-face and online. The…

    This book addresses the question: how does new organizational structure emerge in interpersonal communication during product development? The study focuses on the development of a mobile Internet service called the Mobile Messaging Board at Satama Interactive, an Internet consulting and design company. A unique research method is used to analyze how companies can trigger innovation by initiating "critical transitions" between unconnected sites of conversations, both face-to-face and online. The key findings of the analysis are synthesized in the form of a double cycle model, which illustrates the nonlinear path of new-product and service development in modern organizations.

    The thesis manuscript on which the book is based received the Faculty of Social Sciences Master's Thesis Award in 2002.

    Blurbs
    "The theoretical workmanship of the study is precise and innovative."
    Risto Heiskala, Professor of Social Policy, University of Jyväskylä

    "Not only does Engeström's study provide an insightful analysis into Satama Interactive's innovation development method but it has helped us further develop that very process. I believe that other organizations will find it valuable as well."
    Jan Sasse, CEO, Satama Interactive

  • Apparatus and method for initiating remote content delivery by local user identification

    Issued US 10/393894

    Merchant-media information is communicated to a selected user in response to a user identification (ID) being presented at a media location. According to one example embodiment, a user presents an ID tag to an ID tag reader at a merchant-media arrangement (e.g., a billboard, display screen, audio speaker or advertisement) having a media content ID. The ID tag communicates a user ID to the ID tag reader, and an information request signal including data representing the user ID and the media…

    Merchant-media information is communicated to a selected user in response to a user identification (ID) being presented at a media location. According to one example embodiment, a user presents an ID tag to an ID tag reader at a merchant-media arrangement (e.g., a billboard, display screen, audio speaker or advertisement) having a media content ID. The ID tag communicates a user ID to the ID tag reader, and an information request signal including data representing the user ID and the media content ID is sent to a remote server. The remote server uses the user ID and the media content ID to send media content information (e.g., product data, a discount voucher, etc.) to a user address. With this approach, users can request and/or receive information at a point-of-use media display.
