Yritys X:n kuljetukset ekologisemmin junalla?
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2009)
pohjana on käytetty aiempia tutkimuksia eri kuljetusmuotojen päästöistä, lehtiartikkeleita ja kirjoja. Teoriaosuuden painopisteenä on ollut juna- ja rekkaliikenteen vertailu sekä niiden hyvien että huonojen puolien tutkiminen. Kotimaisessa...
Company X's transportations more ecologically by train? Purpose of this thesis is to study transportation of an international fashion company from their distribution centre to their stores in Finland. Furthermore, find out if train transportation could be used to gain ecological advantage. This thesis is based on various studies about emissions from different forms of transportation. Also journal articles and books have been used as sources of information. Theoretical part of this thesis has focused on comparing the pros and cons of train- and truck transportation. Internal truck transportation has focused specifically on delivery truck’s emissions. Qualitative method has been used to carry out the empirical part of this thesis. Information has been gathered by using an interview and an e-mail interview. Information and material received from the target company has also been used. The information from theoretical part of this thesis was combined with the information from empirical part to better give a full picture of the findings. According to the findings it is safe to say that train is more ecological mode of transportation when used in long distances. For example the target company could reduce emissions by 20 % using intermodal freight transportation in some of their transportations. However by changing ecologic indicators the difference between train- and truck transportation could be greater or less....

Aikakauslehdet ja Olivia nykypäivän mediakentässä
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2009)
Opinnäytetyön aiheena on aikakauslehdet ja Olivia – lehti nykypäivän mediakentässä. Opinnäytetyön tavoite oli tarkastella nykypäivän mediakenttää eri medioiden kautta ja selvittää Olivia lehden profiilia ja asemoitumista aikakauslehtikentälle.
Työn lähtökohtana oli oma kiinnostus alaan. Tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää, kuinka uusi naistenlehti on asemoitunut täydelle naistenlehtikentälle ja millaisen imagon lehti on pienellä aikavälillä saavuttanut mediassa asiantuntijoiden näkökulmasta katsottuna. Pyrkimyksenä työssä on kuvata eri medioiden tunnuspiirteitä lukijalle, kuvailla nykypäivän mediakenttää sekä antaa mainonnasta, sen tehtävistä, suunnittelusta sekä kustannusajattelusta selkeä kuva. Työssä keskeistä on myös antaa kuvaa media- ja mainostoimistojen välisistä suhteista ja niidän toimintatavoista. Tutkimus tuo esille mediatoimistojen mielipiteen ja näkemyksen Olivia – lehdestä. Työ ei käsittele kuluttajatason mielipiteitä lehdestä. Tutkimuksessa käydään läpi naistenlehtien profiilia sekä Olivia – lehden ideoimisen, lanseerauksen ja asemoitumisen prosessit. Mediasuunnittelu linkittyy vahvasti työhön, joten lukijalle avataan myös tämän käsitteen eri vaiheita. Suhdemarkkinointia ja strategisia verkostoja käsitellään omana aiheenaan.
Opinnäytetyön teoreettinen viitekehys pohjautui lähinnä mainontaan, mediavalintoihin, suhdemarkkinointiin sekä strategisiin verkostoihin. Työssä on myös aikaisempia tutkimuksia sekä artikkeleita. Teoriaosuudessa käytimme paljon toisen tekijän omaa introspektistä tietoa, joka pohjautuu työstä saatuun kokemukseen.
Tutkimuksen lähestymistapa on kvalitatiivinen. Kohteena ovat pääkaupunkiseudulla työskentelevät mediatoimistot. Haastateltavia lähestyttiin teemahaastattelun rungolla lomaketta apuna käyttäen. Lomake lähetettiin sähköpostitse. Mediakenttää tutkittiin kaikista saaduista lähteistä, jonka pohjalta kysymykset kyettiin muotoilemaan sopiviksi täydentämään jo saatua teoreettista tietoa. Päätös käyttää työssä pelkästään mediatoimistojen mielipiteitä Olivia – lehdestä oli jo alusta alkaen päätetty ja kriteerit tiettyjen mediatoimistojen valinnaksi pohjautuivat omiin kokemuksiin.
Kyselyn tulokset näyttivät Olivia – lehden imagon positiivisena sekä tervetulleena uudistuksena. Tulokset osoittivat myös sen, että aiemmin ei ole tehty tälle nimenomaiselle kohderyhmälle suunnattua lehteä. Lehteä pidetään myös nuorena, joten se aiheuttaa paineita uusille innovaatioille.
Johtopäätöksenä Olivia – lehti on jo saavuttanut tietyn imagon kohderyhmän keskellä. Haasteena lehdellä on pitää tämä imago sekä säilyttää oma linja. Kansainvälistyminen ja kiihtyvä kysyntä myös aiheuttavat haasteita lisääntyneelle uudistuksen tarpeelle....

Taloushallinnon toimintasuunnitelma parturi-kampaamolle
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2009)
Opinnäytetyöni aiheena oli kehittää yrityksen toimintoja tukeva taloushallinnon toimintasuunnitelma pienelle avoimelle yhtiölle. Työn aihe on saatu toimeksiantona parturi-kampaamoyritykseltä. Aihe on valittu yrityksen tarpeiden mukaan, jotka tulivat esille aloituskeskustelussa yrityksen toisen yhtiömiehen kanssa. Yritys on aloittanut toimintansa keväällä 2007 eikä tällä hetkellä pysty työllistämään kumpaakin yhtiömiestä kokopäiväisesti. Koko opinnäytetyö, myös teoriaosuus, on opastuksena yritystoiminnan kehittämiseen. Toimintasuunnitelma sisältää ohjeita ja budjetteja, joiden avulla yritys voi parantaa ja kehittää toimintaansa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli siis auttaa kehittämään yrityksen taloushallintoa niin, että yhtiömiehet voisivat työskennellä yrityksessä kokopäiväisesti.
Tutkimuksen teoriaosuudessa on käsitelty avoimen yhtiön toimintoja ja kirjanpitoa lainsäädäntöön viitaten sekä yhtiön verotusta ja talouden tarkkailua. Toimintasuunnitelmaosiossa on käsitelty yrityksen taloutta sekä annettu ohjeita, aikatauluja ja budjetit vuodelle 2009.
Tutkimusmenetelminä käytettiin haastatteluja toimeksiantajayrityksessä ja yrityksen kirjanpitoaineiston tutkimista. Haastattelut tehtiin lomakkeella ja keskustelemalla yrityksen toisen yhtiömiehen kanssa. Kirjanpitoaineistosta oli käytettävissä yrityksen kumpikin tilikausi, joiden avulla on tarkasteltu yrityksen taloutta. Budjetit on laadittu vuoden 2008 kirjanpitoaineiston pohjalta.
Tutkimuksen tuloksena saatiin niin sanottu tietopaketti avoimelle yhtiölle, joka sisältää ohjeita yrityksen toimintaan sekä yrityksen kannattavuuden kehittämiseksi tulos- ja kassabudjetit. Kokonaisuutena tutkimus antaa yritykselle tukea toiminnan kehittämiseen. Vuodelle 2009 laaditut budjetit eivät yllä vielä niin hyvään tulokseen, että kumpikin yhtiömies voisi työskennellä yrityksessä kokopäiväisesti. Suunniteltujen budjettien mukaan yrityksen tuottojen pitäisi lisääntyä vielä noin 25 %, että kumpikin yhtiömies voisi nostaa edes 900 euroa yksityisottoja kuukaudessa.
Tutkimuksen tulos budjetoinnin osalta ei ollut vielä sitä, mitä haettiin. Yrityksellä on kuitenkin hyvät mahdollisuudet kehittää yritystoimintaansa kannattavammaksi ja myyntituottojen nouseminen mahdollistaisi kummankin yhtiömiehen kokopäiväisen työllistymisen jo tänä vuonna....

Corporate image and identity during an alteration process – Case: OKO becomes Pohjola The purpose of this thesis is to discover personnel’s beliefs in a corporate image and identity during and after an alteration process. The nature of this study is to be a descriptive survey and to answer questions such as how, why and what. The research method applied is a qualitative interview which is based on a timeline of specified themes. Two interviews were accomplished in the study. The theoretical section of the thesis is gathered from a formation of corporate image and identity, corporate merger and an alteration process. The thesis outlines Pohjola Insurance Ltd’s and Pohjola Bank Plc’s personnel’s beliefs. The temporal line is from September 2005 to this date. The alteration process examined consisted of a fusion between two companies which resulted in a new joint venture. In the case OP Pohjola Group achieved a long- tanding ambition to join together with Finland's second largest non- ife insurer, Pohjola Group plc. onsequently,the OP-Pohjola Group is now the leading finance group in Finland. Distinct in the case study is the introduction of a new name and logo which concluded the two-year integration. OKO Bank's name transformation to Pohjola Bank is based on the Group's new corporate structure and the need to bring all services under a single, strong brand. The results of this research are that the fusion awakened insecurity and fear about continuance of employment in Pohjola Insurance Ltd which was the target of the acquisition, although strong resistance was not observed. These two companies have a similar history, age, culture and operational habits which might have some impact on the result. These companies have also the same value foundation, Finnish background, reliability and security which can be considered a foundation to this joint venture and to the whole integration process. The importance of the Finnish background also became apparent in the interviews. Based on the research public relations have critical status in the origin of company image. Both of the interviewed persons told that the style of public relations was positive and as a result of this their own images and beliefs followed the same pattern. The merger was experienced as a new beginning and it created an image of a successful OP-Pohjola Group. The two-year integration process was experienced as an interval period when the merger did not externalise at all in the daily routines. Personnel were informed well of the approaching new name, corporate image and other concrete changes. Despite this the new name and logo provoked discussion among the personnel. The corporate name and logo are considered an important part of the company’s identity and when they transform in to something new it causes confusion, disbelief and even a shock. Research also showed that although mergers take place and corporate characters change, the experience of a company identity is not easily changed or changed at all....
