Introduction Project of Enterprise Resource Planning System Different information systems are a necessity for today’s companies. They have brought many benefits such as cost-efficiency and the easier development of new products and services. There is no going back because of the fact that the companies have become dependent on the information systems’ benefits. Enterprises have to constantly invest in new information systems to keep up with the competition, not to mention the possible desires to grow their business. The acquisition and introduction of a new information system is a complicated process and it takes a lot of resources. The easiest way to get it done is to do it as a project. Projects have a certain structure that is constantly striving forward and making the achievement of the set goals a lot easier. Projects are always unique and they have an explicit beginning and end. The type of the project determines the type of goals that are going to be set. In-house development project, research project, delivery project, execution project, construction project, and the development project of a new product all have their characteristics and they all require different procedures. There are many theories on how to segment the different stages of a project but they all have the same feature that they follow each other. This thesis is based on a theory that segments projects into five stages. Those stages are the recognition of the demand, definition, planning, execution and ending. The stages are to be performed in order but if the project is not going forward because of the mistakes done in previous stages, it is possible to go back and fix them. Each stage is important and the neglect of one stage greatly increases the risk of extra costs or stretching of the schedule. In worst cases the whole project might fall through. The essential parts of a project can be demonstrated by so called project triangle. It consists of three parts: The budget, schedule and the requirements. If one of these changes for some reason, it affects at least one if not two other parts of the triangle immediately. These are some of the facts that are included in this thesis’ theory section. It is used as a base for personal experiences in Berling Capital Ltd.’s QlikView project launched in year 2010. Based on theories and personal experiences a project analysis is made in which the project theories are compared to a real life project....

Close food: the challenges and opportunities from producers’ and consumers’ perspective in western Uusimaa The purpose of the research was to find out how did the close food producers’ actions meet the consumers’ wishes in the western Uusimaa. Another purpose was to find out what kind of differences in view the producers and the consumers have, and how did the shop keepers attend to the producers’ and consumers’ wishes. The theoretical frame included the concept of close food. Also, the consumer behavior and marketing was dealt with through the changes in the world’s food culture from the perspective of close food. The practical research was implemented in three phases. The quantitative student survey using Learning cafe method was carried out in the first phase. The second phase was the consumer survey, which included quantitative and qualitative research. The first two phases were part of the Sustainable Development From Close Food project. The third phase was put into practice as a qualitative research in the form of theme interviews. The results showed that close food producers’ actions did not fully meet the consumers’ wishes in the area of western Uusimaa. The research showed that people would like to buy close food from their local shop, but the concept of close food was not established and it was understood in many different ways. The shop’s close food can be produced locally, but transported around for hundreds of kilometers. The producers and the consumers were seemingly in an understanding, but in practice the sellers could work from many different starting points. The consumers, producers and the sellers saw close food as a positive thing, but in practice close food might involve non-ecological methods of growing, production and logistics solutions. As a suggestion for further research came up the need for general further research on the concept of close food and the ways for mutual marketing. On top of that, the determining of direct sales opportunities was also presented as one of the important further research topics....

Lainsäädäntömuutosten vaikutukset pikaluottoyrityksiin
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2012)
Opinnäytetyössä tutkitaan oikeusministeri Anna-Maja Henrikssonin asettaman oikeusministeriön työryhmän pikaluottoja koskevan lakiesityksen vaikutuksia pikaluottoyrityksiin. Tutkimusongelmana on selvittää kuinka mahdollinen lakiuudistus vaikuttaisi pikaluottoyrityksiin ja niiden toimintaan. Pikaluottoyrityksiltä halutaan saada näkemystä siitä, kuinka ne haluaisivat, että alaa säädeltäisiin. Lakiesityksen keskeinen kohta on korkokaton säätäminen, mikä vaikuttaa oleellisesti pikaluottoyritysten kannattavuuteen.
Työn teoriaosuus käsittelee pikaluottoja: alan historiaa, tilastoja sekä pikaluottojen nykyistä lainsäädäntöä. Lähdeaineistona käytettiin pikaluottoalan kirjallisuutta, ajankohtaisohjelmia sekä internetlähteitä ja haastatteluita. Lakiesityksen pääkohdat käydään läpi, jonka jälkeen analysoidaan sen mahdollisia vaikutuksia.
Tutkimusmenetelmäksi valikoitui kvalitatiivinen teemahaastattelumenetelmä, koska tutkittavasta aiheesta haluttiin löytää tai paljastaa uusia asioita. Tutkimuksen kohteena olivat kolmen pikaluottoyrityksen toimitusjohtajat. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin puhelimitse haastattelemalla.
Haastatteluista ilmeni, että positiivisen luottorekisterin perustaminen on vältämätöntä, mikäli pikaluottoyritysten asiakkaiden luottokelpoisuuden arviointia halutaan parantaa. Lakiesityksessä ehdotettu korkokatto tukahduttaisi todennäköisesti pikaluottoyrityksen ydinliiketoiminnnan, jolloin suurin osa alan yrityksistä joko siirtyisi toimimaan toiseen maahan tai lopettaisi toimintansa kokonaan. Lisäksi pikaluottoyrityksille tulisi asettaa tarpeeksi suuri oman pääomanvaatimus sekä vuosittainen jäsenmaksu, mikä parantaisi alan valvontaa....

Road Freight Transport Statistics for Years 2000-2010 The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how much transport statistics have changed between years 2000-2010. For a closer examination were taken the years 2000, 2005 and 2010 which were studied from the view of freight transport volumes and freight transport performance. Also the food transfers were observed in this study. The study works as a background information for the SULOIN –project, which aims to develop the logistics cluster in Southern Finland. Laurea University of Applied Sciences is involved in the WP3 part of the project, which aims at developing the transport systems of the food industry in the logistics cluster area of Southern Finland. The theoretical section of this thesis deals extensively with the road traffic, transports of freights and also briefly food transfers. The aim was to produce for the reader as accurate information as possible from road freight transports. The theoretical section would in the end support the main study. The main study in this work was a comparative study in which the same statistics for different years were used and their differences were compared. In the study the extensive diagrams were used to make the results of the study more easy to observe. From the results of the study it can be defined that freight transports have decreased from the start of the millennium in transport volumes as well as in transport performance. The main reasons for decreased transports are the global recession, the increasing costs of the truck traffic, the rise of the consumer prices in oil products and radically growing quantity of equipment which are designed for the transport of freight....

Suomalaisten hedge-rahastojen menestyminen vuosina 2008-2011
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2012)
Opinnäytetyön aiheena oli suomalaisten hedge-rahastojen menestyminen vuosina 2008-2011. Hedge-rahastot ovat sijoitusrahastoja, jotka lupaavat sijoittajille absoluuttista tuottoa markkinatilanteista riippumatta. Absoluuttiseen tuottoon eli käytännössä jatkuvaan tuottoon rahastot pystyvät, sillä niillä ei ole tavallisten rahastojen tapaan rajoituksia muun muassa sijoituskohteista tai hajautuksesta.
Alustan työni kuvaamalla teoriaosiossa erilaisia sijoituskohteita ja sijoitusmaailmaa ylipäänsä johtuen juuri siitä, että hedge-rahastot voivat sijoittaa erilaisiin kohteisiin. Tämän avulla pystyn avaamaan käsitteitä, joita myöhemmin tutkimusosiossa käytän. Teoriaosiossa pääpainona ovat erilaiset sijoituskohteet, hedge-rahastot sekä riskien ja tuoton mittaaminen. Tutkimusosiossa tutkin neljän suomalaisen rahaston tuottoja ja riskejä neljän vuoden ajalta, joista tiedot sain pääosin Suomen Sijoitustutkimuksen kuukausittain julkaistavista rahastoraporteista.
Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittavat, että kaikki neljä tutkimuksen kohteena olleesta hedgerahastosta olivat tuottaneet tappiota sekä vuonna 2008 että 2011. Jokainen rahasto oli kuitenkin tuottanut voittoa sijoittajilleen vuosina 2009-2010. Tappioiden ja voittojen suuruus vaihteli kuitenkin eri rahastoilla jopa voimakkaasti, kuten myös riskimittarina toiminut volatiliteetti eli keskihajonta. Tutkimuksen tuloksista käy myös ilmi, ettei yksikään rahasto tuottanut koko neljän vuoden periodilla merkittävää voittoa.
Tulosten pohjalta voidaan tehdä johtopäätöksiä, että tutkimuksen hedge-rahastot eivät täyttäneet lupaustaan absoluuttisesta tuotosta ajanjaksolla 2008-2011. Joka tapauksessa osa rahastoista pystyi riskimittarit sekä koko ajanjakson tuoton huomioiden kohtalaiseen menestykseen. Myös kyseinen ajanjakso oli sijoitusmaailmassa pitkään aikaan haastavin johtuen erityisesti Yhdysvaltain finanssikriisistä sekä Euroopan julkisen talouden velkakriisistä. Muut sijoituskohteet ja etenkin perinteiset sijoitusrahastot olivat pääosin herkempiä markkinoiden liikkeisiin kuin tutkimani absoluuttisen tuoton rahastot, joten sen puolesta nämä tutkimani rahastot onnistuivat kohtalaisen hyvin....
