Steering and Monitoring Model of State-Owned Enterprises Introduction Privatisation of stated-owned enterprises (SOEs) gained considerable momentum in developing and developed countries in the 1980s and 1990s (The World Bank, 2006, p. 3). Despite wide-ranging privatisation programmes, SOEs are still and will be an important part of many economies, especially in developing economies (La Porta, Lopez-de-Silanes, & Shleifer, 1999; Ezzamel, Wilmott, & Worthington, 2008; Vagliasindi, 2008; Ennser-Jedenastik, 2013).

  • Mint of Finland Group's Annual Report 2015
    CEO’s report Page 1 / 40 CEO’s report Mint of Finland Group made progress in all business areas during 2015, even though we failed to fully achieve our profitability targets. We paved the way for a better future by continuing to follow through strategically important changes. The sector is typically dependent on the development of raw material prices. The prices of nickel, copper and steel have been falling for several years. This makes it increasingly more challenging for metal processors to identify niches of profitability in the different areas of operations. The company managed to solve some, but not all of these challenges. Progress in the circulation and collector coin businesses Customer satisfaction and Demand in the circulation coin business picked up after a quiet spell in 2014. Mint of profitability are indicators Finland successfully won new customers in Latin America and Africa. The projects of everything we do. secured will mean work for the company’s circulation coin production for a longer period. It was also pleasing to note, that the company managed to further strength customer relations through the quality of its products and operations. Despite numerous measures to restore the company to a sound basis, the Group failed to a positive result. The blank business failed to fully achieve the volume pursued, but the operating result was clearly positive. In the collector coin business, our long-term work with customer relations and developing our own business was rewarded with positive earnings. Likewise, there was an increase in exports of Finnish collector coins, which now account for almost 50% of sales, which is also encouraging looking ahead.

Box 692, 33101 Tampere, Finland 2Atmospheric Composition Research, Finnish Meteorological Institute, P.O. Box 503, 00101 Helsinki, Finland 3VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., P.O. Box 1000, 02044 VTT, Espoo, Finland Correspondence to: Topi Rönkkö (topi.ronkko@tut.fi) Abstract. Natural gas usage in traffic and energy production sector is a growing trend worldwide; thus, an assessment of its effects on air quality, human health and climate is required. Engine exhaust is a source of primary particulate emissions and secondary aerosol precursors, which both contribute to air quality and can cause adverse health effects. Technologies, such as cleaner engines or fuels, that produce less primary and secondary aerosol could potentially significantly decrease atmospheric 5 particle concentrations and their adverse effects. In this study, we used a potential aerosol mass (PAM) chamber to investigate the secondary aerosol formation potential of natural gas engine exhaust. The PAM chamber was used with a constant UV-light voltage, which resulted in relatively long equivalent atmospheric ages of 11 days at most. The studied retrofitted natural gas engine exhaust was observed to form secondary aerosol. The mass of the total aged particles, i.e., particle mass measured downstream of the PAM chamber, was 6-268 times as high as the mass of the emitted primary exhaust particles.
