Tiivistelmä
Finnish education has a high-quality system with an excellent reputation in the world. Exporting education is an important business area that is supported and promoted by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland, and regional authorities. It can evolve the Finnish economy by increasing sales and profit. Out-of-school education is the activities and programs that are operated out of school environment and time.
The key problem is loose cooperation between different companies, organizations, and educational institutions. Lack of business ecosystem and deep cooperation are the main reasons for slow business growth. The goal of this research is to find out a purpose-driven business ecosystem to create more new business products and service packages and add business value to the customers.
Two research questions were raised and answered: how to increase exporting Finnish out-of-school education globally with a purpose-driven business ecosystem? What kind of ecosystem framework should be established as a concrete solution? Surveys and interviews were conducted during the research. Analysis shows that common purpose is the driver for setting up a business ecosystem, which leads to strategic objectives and strong reasons why a business ecosystem is mandatory for business growth in exporting Finnish out-of-school education. Finnish companies and organizations have a strong motivation and common purpose to increase sales by creating new products and services with other partners.
Setting up a business ecosystem framework is a concrete solution to strengthen communication, trust, and operation. This framework covers the whole process of defining motivation, planning strategic objectives, selecting partners, planning projects, general operation, communication and trust, change management and risk management, innovation, and expanding business, etc., which builds a process for a complete, profitable, and valuable business ecosystem for exporting Finnish out-of-school education.
