Companies can gain visibility for their products and their business through media publicity. Media publicity is desired because of its speed, inexpensiveness and reach. It is a way for a company to become known and also influence stakeholders´ attitudes, perceptions and the community image of the company. This thesis was commissioned by an international cosmetics company, Company X, whose objective is raise the company profile and gain more publicity for its products in Finnish women´s magazines. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate Company X´s most important stakeholder in the form of journalists´ opinions about the company and to assess how journalists perceive the current publicity activities of the company. This thesis has also written in order to determine whether the current public relations can be improved and whether it is possible to increase media coverage of the company and its products by surveying the opinions of journalists. The theoretical framework is based on theories of general communication, organizational communication and marketing communications. The theoretical section also discusses issues related to publicity, the work of journalists, data acquisition and media coverage. A qualitative research method is used in this thesis. The data was collected by sending a semi-structured e-mail survey to the journalists on five different women´s magazines which were defined by the case company. According to the research, the journalists were currently satisfied with Company X´s publicity and public relations activities. Company X´s brand and reputation are strong among journalists and Company X also stands apart from its competitors in terms of its brand. The survey also revealed that the journalists´ story ideation and story making is significantly based on current trends, everyday life experiences as well as readers´ needs. The journalists´ work and possible media hits cannot be directly influenced but by developing public relations and public relations activities the media coverage of the company and its products can be improved by increasing and verifying information given to journalists. Based on the results, several development proposals are offered to Company X regarding the company´s media register and communication activities....

Manager recruiting – Implementing a background research as help of a recruiting guide Case: Tokmanni Oy Recruiting personnel is one vital sector of managerial work, and managers’ recruiting knowledge is a requirement for successful personnel choices. Development of recruiting practices, ensuring common procedures, taking care of managers’ image and strengthening managers’ recruiting knowledge are supporting a company’s competitiveness when it is competing for capable workforce. The more a company's operations are dependent on people, the more important it is to acquire excellent talents that can be depended on in create a competitive advantage. The topic of the thesis was successful recruitment through the process of export-related aspects from a managerial point of view. The thesis project was carried out for the HR department of Tokmanni Company. The aim was to examine the success of the entire recruitment process through the practical stages of the recruitment process as well as arising problem areas. In addition, the thesis was designed to provide information for the background of the upcoming recruiting guide and for the support of the recruiting practices. In the theory section recruitment-related factors were examined, such as human resources strategy, legal obligations, the employer's image and the overall labor market’s effect on re-cruitment. The theoretical section however, focused on the various stages of the recruitment process, from the evaluation of the acquisition need to the final decision of the selection and post-treatment care of recruitment. The main focus was on those sub-regions, which Tokmanni Store Manager is responsible for in the recruitment process. For this study, a survey was conducted for the store managers who are responsible for the recruitment process. The study was an overall study, and the target group was all Tokmanni Company’s managers who work in store operations. The research data was collected with an e-form and analyzed using SPSS software, Microsoft Excel and Word. The study was conducted primarily using quantitative research methods and examined for example store managers’ experiences in the operation of the current recruitment practices, possible problem areas in the recruiting process as well as managers’ views on their own recruiting skills. The results of this study were used to identify development targets in the recruitment process, and to present a few solutions for improving the managers’ recruitment skills and for making recruitment practices more efficient. Based on these results it can be seen that the current recruitment practices in Tokmanni are considered mainly functioning among managers, and development needs are small. Perceived problems are mainly caused by the lack of suitable candidates in the sector, misjudgements made in an interview and the tight schedule in the recruitment process. Training, especially regarding interview coaching and governing the law of obligations in the recruitment process were seen important. Key words: recruitment, Human Resource Management (HRM), Development planning...

Digitaalisten kanavien hyödyntäminen ohjelmistoyrityksen b-to-b-markkinoinnissa
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2012)
Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli tutkitun tiedon perusteella tuottaa toimeksiantajalle toteuttamiskelpoiset kehitysehdotukset digitaalisen markkinoinnin ja siihen liittyvien kanavien hyödyntämiseen. Toimeksiantajalla oli suunnitelmissaan panostaa lähitulevaisuudessa digitaaliseen markkinointiin, mikä teki tästä tutkimuksesta toimeksiantajan kannalta ajankohtaisen ja hyödyllisen. Työssä keskeistä oli myös selvittää toimeksiantajan kilpailijoiden digitaalisen markkinoinnin nykytila ja digitaalisten kanavien hyödyntämisen keinot ja niiden pohjalta implementoida parhaat käytänteet toimeksiantajan toimintaan.
Nämä keinot selvitettiin Internetiä hyödyntäen toteutetun Benchmarking-vertailun avulla. Benchmarking-vertailussa erityisen positiivista oli se, että tieto erityisesti sosiaalisen median hyödyntämisestä oli hyvin saatavilla ja digitaalista markkinointia hyödynnettiin monipuolisesti kilpailijoiden toiminnassa. Tämä mahdollisti toimeksiantajalle helposti hyödynnettävissä olevien konkreettisten digitaalisen markkinoinnin kehitysideoiden vertailun, analysoinnin ja laatimisen. Tietoperustana Benchmarking-vertailun ja kyselytutkimuksen lisäksi olivat teoreettiset lähteet digitaalisesta markkinoinnista.
Toimeksiantajan kannalta oli myös merkittävää saada tietoa siitä miten heidän nykyiset avainasiakkaat ja potentiaaliset uudet asiakkaat voidaan tavoittaa digitaalisen markkinoinnin kanavien kautta henkilökohtaisen myyntityön lisäksi. Tämä saatiin tutkittua E-lomakkeen muodossa toteutetun kyselytutkimuksen avulla.
Kyselytutkimuksen tulosten mukaan yhä useammat pienet ja keskisuuret ohjelmistoalan yritykset Suomen markkinoilla ovat enenevässä määrin alkaneet hyödyntää sosiaalista mediaa ja muita digitaalisen markkinoinnin kanavia osana yrityksen myyntiä ja markkinointia. Digitaalisen markkinoinnin onnistunut hyödyntäminen on siis olennaista kilpailuedun saavuttamiseksi ja säilyttämiseksi ohjelmistoalalla. Toinen merkittävä havainto kyselytutkimuksen tuloksissa oli se, että merkittävä osa toimeksiantajan avainasiakkaista olisi ollut tavoitettavissa jo nyt sosiaalisen median ja muiden digitaalisen markkinoinnin kanavien avulla.
Jatkotoimenpiteenä tälle opinnäytetyölle olisi hyvä kehittää mittarit digitaalisen markkinoinnin tavoitteiden toteutumisen seuraamiseksi....

Fish storage company's self-monitoring system plan for starting export business to Russia All Finnish food industry establishments or companies need the acceptance of the Russian export office prior to starting their export business to Russia. The acceptance of the export office is a permit from the Russian authorities to supply raw materials or end products to the Russian market. Receiving the export licence demands establishing of a self-monitoring system with regard to fulfilling the Russian export requirements. The self-monitoring of the Russian export means a written document which concerns appliance with the Russian export requirements. The target and objective of this thesis assignment was to receive an export licence for a Finnish fish storage company for their Russian export. Also, the assignment can act as instructions for other companies planning export to Russia. The customer of this assignment was a Finnish fish storage company who requested to remain anonymous in the assignment. Together with the customer, a functional project work was completed, and the result was a compulsory Russia amendment to be attached to the official self-monitoring system of the company, required prior to starting export business to Russia. In the theoretical frame of reference of the assignment, Russia shall be studied as export destination, especially from the view point of food and fish industry. The theoretical section also deals with controlling of the food industry legislation concerning as well the European Union as Finland and Russia, and also the changes in export business caused by the Customs coalition founded in July 2010 by Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Also the most essential features of national self-monitoring planning practise shall fulfil the final implementation of the theoretical framework. The project section shall deal with the content of the customer´s self-monitoring system of a fish industry company prior to export to Russia. This section shall also handle the measures demanded to receive the acceptance of the Russian export office, and the process agenda including also the contracts applied, the points of legislation and instructions concerning the process. Due to the founding of the Customs coalition, the instructions and interpretations of the Finnish Food Safety Authority Evira have not been completed so far. During this acceptance process, the rules and instructions changed several times and presumably they shall still keep changing. The outcome for the customer, a solid foundation of future changes adapting the comments of the Finnish Food Safety Authority, is attached to the assignment. The outcome has been completed according to the instructions concerning storage companies, but also other fish industry companies can benefit from this assignment as an example for completing their own export licence process....

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 main reason for this is the cash discounts granted by the terms of payment used in sales. 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 needs identify all the other effects outside the study caused by lowering the cash discount in sales and subsequently after this attempt to lower the cash discounts in a sensible way. 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 time that is invested in making the contracts can multiply itself if problems in the job appear between the parties. These days when the use of suppliers in companies has increased the companies have started to pay more attention to supplier contracts as well.
