Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli kuvata investointilaskennan suorittamista pienissä ja keskisuurissa yrityksissä. Työ selvitti, miten ja minkälaisin menetelmin investointilaskentaa suoritetaan, keskittyen erityisesti laskennan merkityksen ja tarpeen...
The current situation of investment calculation in small and medium-sized companies in Espoo and Vantaa The purpose of this thesis was to define small and medium-sized companies’ implementation of investment calculation. The thesis investigated whether it is being implemented and what methods are used, focusing especially on solving the significance and demand for the calculation. Another objective for the thesis was to examine the possible challenges that companies encounter with implementing investment calculation. To solve these research problems and to give support for the thesis a survey was concluded. The inspiration for the thesis and research was given by Datapartner Inc. The current situation of investment calculation in small and medium-sized companies is not known and there are not many research papers on the subject recently. In addition, the present unstable market situation makes good investment decisions and investment appraisal even more essential, which also makes the subject actual. The theory for the study is based on the literature of the field and the information gathered with the concluded survey. The theoretical context elaborates real investment, the significance and profitability of investments, the investment process, investment calculation and evaluation methods and investment risks. The survey was conducted particularly among Espoo and Vantaa’s small and medium-sized companies. It was implemented as a quantitative questionnaire in March 2010. The sample size for the survey was 452 companies and 86 answers were given. Therefore the response rate for the survey was 19.0 %. The results were analyzed using SPSS statistical analysis. The survey succeeded in defining the current situation of investment calculation in the target companies. It is established that companies of this size implement investment calculation and consider it important as well. The obtained results indicate also that the implementation of calculation and utilization of investment programmes increase in proportion to the company’s net sales and quantity of investments committed on a yearly basis. The most used method for investment calculation and evaluation was the payback method. According to the research, the companies that implement investment calculation also utilize it in profitability evaluation and as an endorsement in decision-making. In other words, the results disclose that investment calculation is implemented by an authentic demand. Furthermore it was discovered that respondents did not consider the listed resource-related challenges, costs and absence of time or knowledge, as a reason not to implement investment calculation. The survey corresponded to the appointed research problems and the current situation of investment calculation was defined based on the results. In addition the obtained results gave Datapartner Inc. confirmation about small and medium-sized companies implementing investment calculation and therefore having a need for investment calculation programmes. It is possible for Datapartner Inc. to utilize the gathered information for example in adjusting its marketing to small and medium-sized companies....

Kolmen valuaatiojärjestelmän painottuminen terveellisen ruoan valintaan vaikuttavissa tekijöissä
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2010)
valitusta ruoasta ihminen saa tarvitsemansa energian ja kaikki elintärkeät ravintoaineet. Nykykäsityksen mukaan yli puolet päivän energiasta tulisi saada hiilihydraateista, vajaa kolmannes rasvasta ja noin 15 % proteiineista. On kuitenkin henkilöitä, joiden...
Emphasis of the three valuation system on the factors that affect the choice of healthy food Health and well-being is a topical subject and concerns everyone. It is important for well-being what to eat. From properly sized and selected food one can get all the necessary energy and vital nutrients. According to the current understanding more than half of a day’s energy should come from carbohydrates, less than a third from fat and approximately 15 percent from protein. However, some think that people eat too much carbohydrates, light products and processed food. Contrary to the current recommendation nutrition should consist of animal fat and protein, hardly carbohydrates. Soft fat is not harmful to the health. In particular hydrogenated vegetable fat containing trans fat is bad for the health. Man is a decision-making being whose brain differs functionally and structurally from other primates, so that man’s prefrontal cortex has expanded. Man is able to make complex and long-term objectives. This requires a wide range of chains of different activities which may last for long periods of time. Man must have the ability to bear the objective in mind in the nervous system when achieving that objective actively. Studies have shown that the prefrontal cortex is the place where the objectives are formed, selected and been actively maintained. Achieving the objective requires that it is steady in time. There is an area in the prefrontal cortex that combines rational and emotional valuations. This area is closely linked to decision-making that is depending on the goals. The purpose of the thesis was to solve with a questionnaire how college students make food choices in different situations. The basis of the thesis was Rangel’s, Montague’s and Camerer’s (2008) model of three valuation systems, including the Pavlovian, Habitual and Goal-directed system. Many Pavlovian behaviours are innate responses to specific predetermined stimuli, for example hunger or thirst. The habitual system can learn, through repeated training, to assign values to actions that are commensurate with the expected reward that these actions generate. An example of a habit system is a smoker’s desire to have a cigarette at a particular time of day. The goal-directed system assigns values to actions by computing action-outcome associations and then evaluating the rewards that are associated with the different outcomes. An example of a goal-directed behavior is the decision of what to eat at a restaurant. The research method used was a quantitative survey in e-form which was sent via e-mail to all 22 381 students in Laurea University of Applied Sciences and Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. 1 880 answers were returned. The research material was analyzed by SPSS, a program for managing statistical data. Frequencies, sum variables of the valuation systems, the independent samples test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used as the method of analysis. The study revealed that food choices are made most in a Goal-directed way. Accordingly people make long-term plans where health is important. Between sexes and different age groups was shown a significant statistical difference. Although there is a lot of knowledge about healthy food eating-related diseases become more frequent....

”Se oli rankempaa kuin osasi kuvitella” : Yrityspajassa vuosina 2004 ja 2007 aloittaneiden yritysten lopettamisen syyt
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2010)
Tämä opinnäytetyö on tehty toimeksiantona Hyvinkään – Riihimäen Seudun Uusyrityskeskukselle Yrityspajalle. Tutkimuksen tarkoitus on selvittää, miksi Yrityspajan kautta aloittaneet yrittäjät ovat lakkauttaneet yritystoimintansa. Tutkimustuloksia...
”It was harder than I could imagine” : Reasons why in Yrityspaja in years 2004 and 2007 started companies closed down This Thesis is made on assignment of Hyvinkään – Riihimäen Seudun Uusyrityskeskus Yrityspaja. The target of this study is to find out why companies that started in Yrityspaja had closed down. Yrityspaja is aiming at using the results of this research in their quality assurance and development of their service. Only a few studies like this have been done so there was practically nothing to examine as an example. The type of this study is a case study and it includes both methods and literature triangular research, which means that more than just one method and material has been used at the same time. To find out entrepreneurs, own way of thinking they were interviewed by telephone or by e-mail. The questionnaire used was exactly the same in telephone and e-email interviews and it included both open questions and structured questions with alternative choices to answer. When collecting material the problem was reaching the former entrepreneurs. The contact information of entrepreneurs came from the time they had started their business, so phone numbers and e-mail addresses were not correct any more and it appeared impossible to reach the target group. The entrepreneurs who were reached answered pretty actively, which is the reason why this research was possible to carry through at all. The biggest problem entrepreneurs faced when starting their business was getting concretive advice. When operating the business the entrepreneurs felt the biggest problems to be achieving enough customers as well as a stable income. The experiences of Yrityspaja were mainly positive. Service satisfaction was rated by grade (4-10), and the average was 7.7. Curable issued would anyway be found in the services of Yrityspaja, especially when considering these above-mentioned difficulties of entrepreneurs. It would also be good to pay attention to supporting all kinds of company forms, because one-person based companies had been closed more often than other forms of enterprise....

Toimintolaskennan implementointi projektiympäristöön, esimerkkiyhtiö X
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2010)
Opinnäytetyön aiheena on toimintolaskennan implementointi projektiympäristöön. Opinnäyte-työn taustalla on vallitsevan taloustilanteen aikaansaama muutos kilpailuympäristössä, joka pakottaa yhtiöitä pohtimaan kustannustenhallintaansa uudella tavalla. Toimintolaskenta tar-joaa yrityksille modernin kustannuslaskentatavan, mutta kynnys implementoinnille on monissa yhtiöissä suuri. Tarkoituksena opinnäytetyössä on tutkia toimintolaskennan teoriaa ja artikke-leiden valossa osoittaa onnistuneita toteutuksia esimerkkiyhtiö X:n toimintatapaa vastaavissa ympäristöissä.
Opinnäytetyössä tarkastellaan esimerkkiyhtiö X:n projektiympäristössä kapasiteettien hallin-taa sekä budjetointia toimintoperusteisesti ratkaisuina perinteisten laskentatapojen ongel-miin. Opinnäytetyössä käydään läpi myös aikaperusteista toimintolaskentaa sovellettaessa toimintolaskennan teoriaa X:ään. Aikaperusteisen toimintolaskennan kohdalla keskitytään myös toiminnanohjausjärjestelmän kustannuslaskennalle tarjoamaan tukeen.
Opinnäytetyön teoreettinen osio koostuu kirjallisuudesta, aikaisemmin tehdyistä tutkimuksis-ta sekä artikkeleista. Opinnäytetyön empiirinen osio koostuu laadullisesta tutkimuksesta, joka suoritettiin haastattelemalla. Haastattelut suoritettiin yhtiö X:ään kahdelle laskentatoimen ammattilaiselle, joilla on pitkä työkokemus talouden ohjauksesta ja suunnittelusta. Haastat-telulla onnistuttiin kartoittamaan hyvin perinteisen laskentatoimen aiheuttamia ongelmia kustannusten hallinnassa sekä saamaan ammattilaisten näkemyksiä toimintolaskennasta.
Toimintolaskennan tuotantoprosessilähtöinen lähtökohta on toiminnan jatkuva tehostaminen sekä tuottavuuden kasvu. Tästä johtuen on tärkeää tuottaa ajan tasalla olevaa ja tarkkaa kustannusinformaatiota, jota mitataan moniulotteisilla mittaristoilla. Oikeanlaisten mittaris-tojen avulla voidaan tuottaa vertailukelpoista ja prosessikehitystä tukevaa informaatiota, jolloin seuranta ja ennustettavuus paranevat toiminnassa. Edellä mainittuja käsitellään työssä teorian avulla, jonka tuloksena pyritään löytämään sellaisia ratkaisuja yhtiö X:n toimintaan, joita perinteisillä laskentatavoilla ei kyetä ratkaisemaan.
Opinnäytetyössä käsitellyn teorian sekä aikaisemmin tehtyjen tutkimusten valossa toiminto-laskennan implementoinnista olisi hyötyä yhtiö X:n projektiympäristössä. Pidemmällä aikavä-lillä yhtiö pystyisi luomaan vertailukelpoista tietoa, jonka johdosta kilpailukyky markkinoilla paranisi....

Oppilaitosyhteistyön kehittäminen ja nuorten innostaminen kunta-alalle : Case: Riihimäen kaupunki
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2010)
Tämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena on oppilaitosyhteistyösuunnitelman kehittäminen Riihimäen kaupungille ja nuorten innostaminen kunta-alalle. Idea opinnäytetyöhön saatiin Riihimäen kaupungilta.
Oppilaitosyhteistyön kehittäminen on kirjattu Riihimäen kaupungin henkilöstöstrategian toimintasuunnitelmaan 2009–2012. Vuoteen 2016 mennessä Riihimäen kaupungin henkilöstöstä noin 30 % eläköityy, joten Riihimäen kaupunki haluaa tehostaa henkilöstön hankintaa oppilaitosyhteistyöllä.
Opinnäytetyön teoreettinen viitekehys koostuu alan kirjallisuudesta sekä Riihimäen kaupungin omista julkaisuista ja raporteista. Tärkeänä tukimateriaalina työssä käytettiin myös Riihimäen kaupungin henkilöstöpäällikölle ja työsuojelupäällikölle tehtyä haastattelua. Opinnäytetyön viitekehyksessä käsitellään myös suomalaisen julkishallinnon rakennetta kuntien näkökulmasta sekä työnantajakuvan syntymistä ja sen merkitystä.
Tutkimusmenetelmänä käytettiin kvantitatiivista tutkimusta. Nuorten mielikuvia kartoitettiin kyselytutkimuksella, johon valittiin oppilaitokset Riihimäen kaupungin haasteiden ja tavoitteiden mukaisesti. Tutkimukseen osallistui neljä oppilaitosta Hyvinkää-Riihimäen talousalueelta. Tutkimuksen avulla selvitettiin nuorten ajatuksia ja mielikuvia tulevaisuuden työnantajista sekä selvitettiin kanavat, joiden kautta nuoret tavoitetaan parhaiten. Teemahaastattelut tehtiin kahdelle opinto-ohjaajalle, joiden kanssa keskusteltiin oppilaitoksen ja kaupungin yhteistyön nykytilasta, mahdollisuuksista ja oppilaitosten toiveista. Teemahaastatteluissa opinto-ohjaajat kertoivat tuntiensa sisällöstä sekä käytettävistä oppimisvälineistä ja menetelmistä. Teemahaastatteluista saatiin ensiarvoisen tärkeää tietoa oppilaitoksen käytännöistä ja toimintatavoista sekä toiveista oppilaitosyhteistyöhön.
Tämän toiminnallisen opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena on kartoittaa nuorten mielikuvia ja ajatuksia Riihimäen kaupungista työnantajana, minkä pohjalta luodaan käytännönläheinen suunnitelma oppilaitosyhteistyöhön Riihimäen kaupungille. Suunnitelma on vuosikello-tyyppinen, ja se on jaettu neljään eri osaan kuukausien mukaan. Riihimäen kaupungin resurssit oppilaitosyhteistyöhön ovat vähäiset, joten suunnitelmasta oli tavoitteena muodostaa tiivis ja tarkoin harkittu sekä toimiva suunnitelma. Suunnitelman avulla Riihimäen kaupunki pystyy kohdentamaan resurssinsa ja markkinointinsa oikein – nuoriin vetoavasti....
