Tiivistelmä
This thesis is a part of the EDGE – Edge Analytics for Smart Diagnostics in Digital Machinery Concept -project conducted by Finnish research consortium of Åbo Akademi University, Tampere University, University of Vaasa and 11 participative companies. The study focuses on widely recognized long-term challenges on how inter-organizational communication could be improved to achieve better research results in terms of sharing the emerging knowledge and potential IPR derived from this project and in future. The initial expectations from the thesis were digitalization oriented but the directive interviews at the beginning revealed that issues are not purely technically centered but involve psychological and managerial dimensions as well.
Two applied and mutually supportive research methods were long-term Participatory Action Research to understand the collaboration throughout and theme interviews for businesses to pinpoint the potential challenges and latent reasons. Researchers’ opinions were gathered by discussing every week.
As assumed the thesis did not result in one grand solution of communication issues due to the scope and complexity of the research setting and the extent of the EDGE project. Yet, technically and operationally practical solutions were found including weekly newsletter, alternative conference software, meeting types for knowledge transfer and design for improving information and communication with Microsoft Teams.
