The subject of this thesis is a study of the terms of payment and their effects on profitability within the case company. The effects of the terms of payment are examined in their current state and in different scenarios. The assignment is carried out according to the needs and wishes of the case company. The purpose of the research is to provide the case company with usable and beneficial information about the effects of their terms of payments. This information should help the company to evaluate their current and future terms of payment policies. The research utilized data provided by the case company and drawn from the general literature of the field of study. The terms of payment used in the study include the information of a hundred customers and suppliers with most net sales and purchases. The effects of the terms of payment are studied from the perspective of cash discount, time value, working capital and interests. The method of research used in the study is functional simulation, which allows the study of terms of payment in different scenarios. According to the study, the costs caused by the terms of payment used in sales are distinctly higher than the savings achieved from the terms of payment used in purchases.

The time values caused by the terms of payment were of substantial value only when interests were remarkably high and payment times noticeably longer compared to their current state. The payment times directly affected the number of accounts payable and sales receivable within the company and through this the amount of working capital tied down in the company. The case company was advised to evaluate the functionality of their current terms of payment policy and to determine the reason for not reaching the goals set by the purchases in terms of payment policy.

The company should secure sufficient payment time needed for their internal invoice handling on purchases and only after this focus on increasing the amount of cash discounts received....

Palvelukonseptin kehittäminen cable wakeboarding -keskukselle
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2012)
Wakeboarding ja erityisesti cable wakeboarding ovat Suomessa vielä melko tuntemattomia urheilulajeja. Mielenkiinto lajeja kohtaan on kuitenkin kasvanut viime vuosien aikana. Tutkimusaiheen valintaan vaikutti myös henkilökohtainen mielenkiintoni wakeboardingia kohtaan. Näin cable wakeboarding -keskuksen palvelukonseptin kehittämisen ja markkinatutkimuksen tekemisen mielenkiintoisena haasteena.
Työn tavoitteena on kehittää palvelukonsepti cable wakeboarding -keskukselle ja kartoittaa konseptin asiakaskuntaa ja toimivuutta markkinatutkimuksen avulla. Tutkimuksella haetaan vastausta siihen, ketkä kuuluvat keskuksen kohderyhmään, kuinka kaukaa he ovat valmiita matkustamaan keskukseen, mikä on heidän maksuvalmiutensa ja mitä lisäpalveluja he mahdollisesti toivovat.
Opinnäytetyön teoreettinen viitekehys rakentuu suurimmaksi osaksi palvelu-käsitteen ja konseptin kehittämisen ympärille. Palveluissa ja konseptin kehittämisessä keskitytään idean tuottamiseen ja tutkimiseen, konseptin kehityttämiseen ja testaukseen, markkinointistrategiaan, liiketoiminta-analyysiin sekä palveluiden kehittämiseen. Työssä käsitellään myös markkinointimixiä ja lähtökohta-analyysejä. Lähtökohta-analyyseissa pohditaan markkinoita, kilpailijoita, toimintaympäristöä ja fiktiivistä cable wakeboarding -keskusta yrityksenä. Cable wakeboarding -keskuksen ideaa tutkitaan myös SWOT- analyysin avulla. Analyysissä kartoitetaan idean vahvuuksia, heikkouksia, mahdollisuuksia ja uhkia.
Työn empiirinen osa koostuu kvantitatiivisesta markkinatutkimuksesta. Aineiston keräämistä varten tehtiin kysely, joka rakentui viidentoista keskeisen kysymyksen ympärille. Kysely pohjautui työn teoreettiseen viitekehykseen. Tutkimus toteutettiin Internetissä olevien sosiaalisten medioiden, kuten Facebookin kautta. Kyselyyn vastasi 512 vastaajaa noin kolmen viikon aikana.
Tutkimustulosten perusteella cable wakeboarding -palvelukonseptille löytyisi kysyntää. Cable wakeboarding -keskus herätti mielenkiintoa erityisesti lajia jo harrastavien keskuudessa. Myös henkilöt, jotka ovat lajia joskus kokeilleet, kiinnostuivat ideasta. Tuloksista kävi ilmi myös se, että vastaajien maksu- ja matkustusvalmius keskukseen ovat korkealla. Vastaajat odottavat palvelulta paljon ja toivovat keskuksen yhteyteen myös lisäpalveluja. Lisäpalveluista suurinta kannatusta vastaajien keskuudessa sai varustevuokraus ja koulutuspalvelut. Vastaajien mukaan tärkeimmät tekijät harrastuskertojen määrään ovat keskuksen hinta ja sijainti. Sää, kaverit ja ”fiilis” koettiin myös tärkeiksi. Vastaajista myös yli 90 prosenttia kertoi käyvänsä keskuksessa vähintään kerran vuodessa....

Drawing up supplier contracts : case: Firecon Group Oy Drawing up contracts is always precise work and it doesn’t matter if it is for a little or a big job.

The objective of this thesis is to survey the communication patterns of the case company's employees, their opinions about the company's internal communication and information provision, as well as the different channels of internal communication. The employees' ideas for the development of internal communication are also surveyed. In this thesis internal communication is limited to information flow within the company, including access to information and the provision of information related to the employee's own work and duties, the company's operations and strategy, and HR issues. The purpose of the thesis is to obtain information on the use of the most important internal communication channels in the case company from the perspective of the employees. The aim is also to identify the channels through which employees currently receive information, as well as the channels through which they believe information could be more efficiently conveyed. The aim is also to determine the issues on which the employees currently receive information, the issues on which they would like to receive more information and the primary providers of information. The theoretical framework includes a definition of communication and the role, goals and content of internal communication. Internal communication is reviewed from the perspectives of workplace communication, management and supervisor communications, strategic communications, communication between departments, HR communication and internal communication activities. Different channels of internal communication, such as face-to-face, written and electronic communication are also reviewed. Finally, key challenges of internal communication as presented in the literature of the field are discussed. On the basis of the study, it may be concluded that the personnel of the case company are relatively satisfied with the company's internal communication activities. Information sessions targeted at the personnel as a whole and e-mail as a fast communication channel were found to be successful forms of internal communication. Internal information provision was found to be reliable and topical. However, the study revealed potential areas of development in the company's internal communication. E-mail seems to be the principal channel of internal communication. In addition to the existing communication channels, employees would like to see an increase in personal, face-to-face communication, face-to-face discussions with the supervisor and team meetings. While the intranet was found to be an important and necessary communication channel, the employees felt that activating the intranet as an up-to-date communication channel would require updating its content and developing its usability....

During the last ten years the intranet has become well established as a channel of internal communication in companies and organisations. In many companies it is the most important and frequently used forum of daily communication, although there are also many companies and industries where the intranet simply does not function as the primary tool of internal communication due to the nature of the business. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate possibilities for utilizing the intranet in the retail store environment of the Intersport sporting goods chain. As an outcome of the thesis, support materials were produced for the intranet in the department of bicycle sales. The purpose of these materials was to provide employees with information about various matters related to bicycle sales. The theoretical section of the thesis examines the internal communication of organizations and the use of the intranet from various perspectives. A key aspect of the thesis is the use of empirical data acquired through a qualitative study. The study was conducted through themed interviews with sales negotiators and retail entrepreneurs. The results of the study reveal that currently the intranet does not bring any significant added value to the sales personnel in the retail stores of the case company. Currently, the use of the intranet is mainly directed to the store management and most of the sales staff does not use it at all. The interviewees of the study were mostly satisfied with the current state of the company’s internal communication. According to the study the store staff would have time and be more interested in using the intranet. The internal communication of the case company could be unified and enhanced by expanding the range of content on the intranet to include information which is more relevant to the store sales personnel and by marketing it more to the store personnel. Training and introduction materials and support materials for other product departments could be added in the future. With these actions the intranet could create value for the store staff and therefore also for the company itself....
