Brand Research - Case: Kalevala Jewelry This Bachelor's thesis examines a well-known Finnish brand, Kalevala Jewelry. The object of the research was to find out what Kalevala Jewelries means to consumers and what they think about Kalevala Jewelries as a famous Finnish brand today as well as how their thoughts have changed during time. The subject was easy to choose because of both the researchers' will to write about a famous Finnish brand and also their love for jewelries. An advertisement analysis of two Kalevala Jewelry advertisements was also included in the research as the ads were compared to each other using the SMILE concept. The research method used in this thesis was qualitative. Information for the study was mainly gathered with a half-structured questionnaire. The study was carried out in co-operation with jewelry stores in Kerava. The questionnaire forms were available for customers in the jewelry stores for two months. All in all 54 customers answered and returned the form. The object of the questionnaire was to measure the respondents' knowledge of jewelries, what Kalevala Jewelry means to them and what kind of adjectives people use to describe Kalevala Jewelries. Other variables in the questionnaire were the respondents' age and gender. The role of an advertisemen proved to be rather big for the research when comparing the two advertisements with each other. Kalevala Jewelry has made a few collections, which are historically important to the brand. Halikko’s necklace is one example of these collections. The research proved that Kalevala Jewelry brand is well-known in Finland. Some Kalevala Jewelry collections are more known than the others. A great example is the Halikko's necklace, which became well-known after Hanna Pakarinen wore it when representing Finland in the Eurovision song contest. An important object of the research was to find out how young people experience Kalevala Jewelries. Results of the research pointed out that older people prefer Kalevala Jewelries more than the young. The results of questionnaires were analyzed with Excel. Every answer was analyzed one by one after which the examination of results began. The research pointed out that Kalevala Jewelry is a highly appreciated brand in Finland....

Opinnäytetyössä käsitellään vuonna 2004 voimaan tulleen uuden konkurssilain ja vanhan vuodelta 1868 olevan konkurssisäännön muutoksia sekä vaikutuksia. Tarkoituksena on selvittää, mitä tavoitteita lainsäätäjällä oli konkurssilainsäädännön...
Report of bankruptcies closed in 2010 and the impacts of the renewal of bankruptcy legislation This thesis covers the changes and impact of the new Bankruptcy Act that came into force in 2004 and replaced the old bankruptcy from the year 1868. The purpose is to find out which intentions the legislator had in the reform of legislation and which reforms were made to the Bankruptcy Act. Furthermore, the issue of how the goals and reforms in practice have been actualized in the bankruptcies concluded after the reform of the Bankruptcy Act is also examined. In the quantitative part of the thesis the duration, fee of the bankruptcy trustee and distributive portion to the creditors of the bankruptcies concluded in 2010, is calculated. These results are measured against the previous similar report of bankruptcies concluded in the year 2000 before the new Bankruptcy Act. The goal is to produce new information about bankruptcies because there is only little information available and there have not been any acts for researching the impacts of the new Bankruptcy Act. The thesis was a legal policy research in which features of a qualitative and quantitative research are included. In this case a legal policy research indicated a research, where the objects are the effects of the legislation rather than the evaluation of the law’s content. Furthermore the statistical method is included, especially when analyzing the material of distribution quotas. Theoretical material has been gathered from books and laws. Few of the most important sources were the old and new Bankruptcy Acts. The information needed to calculate the distribution quotas of creditors have been gathered from the Office of Bankruptcy Ombudsman. A research about paying the distribution quotas in 2000 was utilized as a source. Legislator’s main object in the reforming of the bankruptcy legislation was to make the bank-ruptcy proceedings more economical and improve the meaningfulness. To elaborate, bankruptcy proceedings should always be efficient, flexible and executed in a fast manner and the result should always be as large proportional share for the debtors as possible. Concrete reforms were made to the bankruptcy legislation of which most important ones from the aspect of improving practicality of the proceeding were extinction of an insolvent bankruptcy estate, the concept of an agreement and public clearance. All in all when compared to the previous account bankruptcy proceeding have been carried out in less time than before: a greater number of proceedings were completed within two years. Under the new legislation the debtors’ proportional shares have grown on average and also more often a proceeding resulted into some funds to be distributed to debtors as a proportional share. That means that the main object of the legislator has more or less come true. Also the aim of legislator concerning the concrete reforms was full filled: there were altogether 1 435 extinctions, 54 public clearances and three settlements....

I studied in my thesis to Helsinki resident's taxi entrepreneur if his firm may be profitable to operate as a limited company as the sole trader, ergo unincorporated enterprises. I investigate the matter point of view taxation, liability, and possible solution to the pension. The theoretical data based on various forms of corporate laws and corporate tax ways, personal tax, the corporate form for the exchange and solidarity. The study used theories of literature and the viewfinder on the Internet. The research part of the study, I look the possibility to benefit from the change in corporate form. For this study, I did interviews and was a basis for forecasting future performance of the company's calculations. In addition, the research phase of parliamentary elections, I wonder the possible impact of tax models in the future. Survey results show that the entrepreneur would be profitable to change the corporate structure, because then his / her income during their careers would be larger. This is due to taxation of dividends on how non-listed limited company. The result of parliamentary elections and the pressure to reform the tax model, however, make it that if the tax is going to change, especially for unlisted public limited company dividends, the corporate form change is not necessarily a viable option....

The meaning of values in an enterprise : case: How do the values determine the work of bank officials in the bank X? Today the brand and image of an enterprise have a great impact on how well it succeeds on the markets where competition is hard and getting even harder. The values create an image among the customers of the enterprise and its activities on their part. Customers are more demanding and aware of the values and they choose from what kind of enterprise they want to buy services and products. What comes to competition the price is not the only decisive factor anymore. The purpose of this study is to go deep into the meaning of the values in an enterprise. The aim is to find out how well the personnel know the values of their employer. It is important to know how familiar they are with the values, how committed they are to them and how they feel about transmitting them to the customers. The purpose of the theoretical part is to give further light on the meaning of the values in the actions of enterprises with help of the literature available. The theoretical part deals with the values in general, value leadership/management and value processing. The source material consists of literature on the subject and internet articles. The following part introduces a case enterprise in which the study is to be carried out. It is a bank which is called the bank X in order to hide its name and maintain the bank secrecy. Only basic facts, a little history and its values are told. Because of the bank secrecy no internal facts are used. The theoretical part uses the information which is publicly known. The study is carried out among the bank accountants/officials in order to find out their conception of the values...

Punishment and its’ implement in Criminal Sanctions Region of Southern Finland This thesis is related to a sentence plan written out for those condemned for a punishment in an Assessment Center in Criminal Sanctions Region of Southern Finland. This thesis has two aims. The theory section works as an introduction to the functional section, which helps new officers to get an insight how the punishment is settled, measured and how the enforcement of punishment is taken place in a prison. I also analyze shortly some tasks in an execution office as they have some connecting factors in this issue. In my own experience it takes a long time from a new officer to form a general view of the punishment dispensation and to get and organize all the connecting operations around these events. The aim of my thesis’ operational section is to process it graphically throughout the convicted person’s assessment and placement process and compiling a brief sentence plan. With the assistance of this guide section I hope that the personnel of the assessment center are able to run this process in a temporary post with all related tasks. As juridical sources I have used criminal legislation and literature. As data acquisition I have also interviewed several officers working in a criminal sanction sector and execution office....

Planning and implementing a sales campaign, case: Unelle This bachelor thesis deals with planning and implementing a sales campaign. In the beginning of the thesis a sales campaign for a new company was designed. The campaign was carried out according to the plan and, results and development proposals were reported. The objective was to sell 10 service products. The definition of service, the success factors of a service company, marketing, segmentation and sales are dealt with in this thesis. In marketing and sales, the focus is especially on telemarketing and ”word of mouth” –marketing. They are cost-effective expedients and therefore rational solutions to a new company. The sales of services are based on trust. A customer must trust the seller, the seller the company he/she represents and service being bought. This sets a salesman various demands compared to selling a physical product. Amongst other characteristic, honesty and high ethics are required from the salesman. Development proposals were made based on the experiences gained from the execution of the campaign. By following the proposals, the result of the next campaign will be better. The second part of the development proposals covers ways which can be used to make the company’s service better known. Regardless of the careful planning there will always occur at least a few changes. The success of the campaign is often determined by how well one can react to the future changes of the plan. Is it possible to react to schedule and functional changes, so that the changes will not endanger achieving the objectives of the campaign? The sales objectives set in this campaign were not fully achieved. This thesis can be utilized when designing the sales campaign for a new company. Several problems can be avoided in the forthcoming campaigns by analyzing the problems that have emerged in the implementation of this campaign....

Financial development and company form of a taxi company The theme of this thesis is a small taxi business (1-2 licenses) accounts. This thesis has been made in cooperation with the accounting firm where I was a trainee. The work has exploited the opportunity to follow and to learn from small business accounting. The purpose of this study is to analyze small taxi companies´ monthly accounting, and look for possible ways to operate more effectively. The second purpose is to examine if it is more profitable for a small taxi company to operate as a firm or a limited company. The theory part will focus on the financial accounting of taxi companies and the used functions and pricing. The work will go through the accounting process systematically from VAT calculations to financial statements. It then compare the differences in the accounting process of a firm and a limited company with equally big turnovers. Finally, the simplicity of the two processed were compared from the bookkeeper´s perspective. The assessment as to whether it would be worthwhile for a small taxi to operate as a firm or limited company depends on the calculation of taxes but also how much extra work operating as a limited company means compared to operating as a firm. The calculation in this thesis are based on data on clients of the accounting firm. All client data is confidential. As a result, it can be concluded that the taxation of a firm is a little lighter than that of a limited company. This can clearly be seen the tax calculation at the end of the thesis where two companies with similar turnover are compared. This result however, applies only to a single fiscal year. The second problem studied in this thesis was the simplicity of the activities from an entrepreneur’s or bookkeeper´s point of view. The results show that the there is less bureaucracy when operating as a firm. This conclusion can be drawn from this study....

Lähiruoka - käsiteanalyysi Walkerin ja Avantin mukaan

Local Food – Concept Analysis According to Walker & Avant Local food is a rising trend in the food market. The main reasons for the interest in the local produce are consumers’ growing consciousness of the ethical and environmental perspectives of the food production. As the levels of education and income of the population rise, their concerns for the quality and impact of food on ecology and the local economy are also increasing. Still, the concept of local food is relatively new and rather unestablished. The objective of this study was to examine the meaning of the concept from the point of view of different parties involved in the food supply chains. The aim was to provide topical information on the local food for Laurea’s subproject WP3 under the heading Developing Distribution Systems for the Food Industry, which is a part of the project SULOIN (Sustainable Logistics through International Networking). The study is based on the concept analysis according to Walker & Avant. This is a technique which examines the different uses of the concept and enables differentiating the most essential elements. The material for the research was collected from various literature sources. The theory section of the study discusses the formation, development and structure of the global food system. The global food system consists of all the operations and workers involved in food production, processing, distribution and consumption. Also the alternative food systems are described in comparison with the so called traditional food chains. The theory section ends with a brief summary of the current position of local food in the Finnish food market. The producers, consumers and distributors of local food are described. The main result of the research was that local food is food which is produced and consumed within a narrow geographical area. Both producers and consumers of the local food agree that the distance the food travels “from field to fork” should be as short as possible. Nevertheless, there is no specific radius from the market which would be widely used to define local food. The results indicated that there is no need for establishing an exact distance. The most essential part of the definition of the local food is that it must be delivered to the market as directly as possible without any unnecessary haulage or warehousing. Also freshness, safety, information of origin and positive influence on the local economy are considered to be significant elements in the concept of local food....

Guide to Managing Products in the Warehouse Case: Raksystems Anticimex Ltd. The idea for this thesis about making a guide on how to manage products at Raksystems An-ticimex Ltd. warehouse started with the help of Aleksi Anttinen, the head of department, by coming to the conclusion on how restrictive of a view most workers had about how the firm’s warehouse works when managing products. Some categories that needed clarification were, how the stock accounting, stock turnover, the ABC analysis for products, stock loss and prod-uct ordering (where and how) work. The aim of this thesis is to provide the reader a clear view about Anticimex Ltd.’s warehouses and product management and help identify products that the company uses. The objective of the idea was to make both new and old employees understand the different phases of ware-housing. The guide is divided into two categories, theories from the literature and the description of the current operations at the warehouse. The process of this guide goes on firstly describing the written theories and then the method used at the company’s warehouse. At the end of the thesis the weaknesses that have risen up in the earlier chapters are handled, such as the stock management, timing for the orders or preventing stock loss from the warehouse. Finally there is a development proposition on how these weaknesses could be improved by taking control over the warehouse management progress with the ERP (Enterprise Resource Plan-ning) system. The thesis is based on the interview with Aleksi Anttinen in which the topics that could be discussed in the guide to managing products in Anticimex Ltd.’s warehouse were introduced. The guide bases its idea on the perceptions and experiences made from the actual work at Anticimex Ltd.’s warehouse. In addition, to support the observations logistics literature was used. In the thesis the kinds of operations were studied which are at present used to storage products and how they really should work. In the summary it is brought up that warehouse management is not the only category in run-ning smooth logistics operations but that it is based on different kinds of factors. In addition, in the summary it is pointed out how easy it should be for the new workers to learn how the companies’ warehouses work. At the very end the thesis introduces the follow-up studies about the development proposal to take control over the warehouse management progress with the ERP system....

The process of this guide goes on firstly describing the written theories and then the method used at the company’s warehouse. At the end of the thesis the weaknesses that have risen up in the earlier chapters are handled, such as the stock management, timing for the orders or preventing stock loss from the warehouse. Finally there is a development proposition on how these weaknesses could be improved by taking control over the warehouse management progress with the ERP (Enterprise Resource Plan-ning) system. The thesis is based on the interview with Aleksi Anttinen in which the topics that could be discussed in the guide to managing products in Anticimex Ltd.’s warehouse were introduced. The guide bases its idea on the perceptions and experiences made from the actual work at Anticimex Ltd.’s warehouse. In addition, to support the observations logistics literature was used. In the thesis the kinds of operations were studied which are at present used to storage products and how they really should work. In the summary it is brought up that warehouse management is not the only category in run-ning smooth logistics operations but that it is based on different kinds of factors. In addition, in the summary it is pointed out how easy it should be for the new workers to learn how the companies’ warehouses work. At the very end the thesis introduces the follow-up studies about the development proposal to take control over the warehouse management progress with the ERP system....
Toimitusketjun hallinta - Case Oy Transmeri Ab
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2012)
Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli tutkia esimerkkiyrityksen toimitusketjun hallinnan nykytilaa ja pyrkiä löytämään mahdollisia kehityskohteita. Opinnäytetyön toisena tavoitteena oli lisätä kirjoittajien tuntemusta toimitusketjun hallinnasta ja lisätä tietoutta Oy Transmeri Ab:n tavasta hoitaa toimitusketjua.
Opinnäytetyön pohjana on teoriaosuus, jolla pyritään lisäämään lukijan tietoutta toimitusketjun hallinnasta ja siihen liittyvistä toimintamalleista sekä selvittämään työssä käytettyjä lyhenteitä. Yritysesittelyssä selvitetään kohdeyrityksen nykytilaa ja perustellaan, miksi kyseinen yritys on valittu opinnäytetyön kohdeyritykseksi. Tutkimus toteutettiin käyttämällä hyväksi SCM-tuloskorttianalyysiä, jonka avulla löydettiin toimitusketjun heikkoudet. Tutkimustulosten tukena käytettiin kirjoittajien omakohtaisia kokemuksia sekä työntekijöiden haastatteluja.
Tutkimustulosten perusteella loimme kehitysehdotukset perusteluineen, jotka toteuttamalla yrityksellä on mahdollisuus parantaa toimintaansa. Tuloskorttianalyysistä selvinneet heikkoudet tukivat haastatteluista saatuja tietoja sekä omia kokemuksia toimitusketjun heikkouksista....
