  • Impacts of COVID-19: Funding Business Operations and Adapting Marketing Strategies
    Impacts of COVID-19: Funding Business Operations and Adapting Marketing Strategies Authors: Sejin Hahn, Sarafat Hossain Supervisor: Jan Bodin Umeå School of Business and Economics Master's Thesis in Business Administration I, 15 Credits, Spring 2021 2 | P a g e Abstract Given the enduring COVID-19 pandemic, this thesis set out to reveal an updated perspective of the service-oriented small business experience, particularly in their access and choice of financial resources to fund operations and adapt marketing strategy. By the time this study started, it was clear which businesses had been rising with the new tides of swelled categorical demand vs. those that were persevering like embers in a 'slow burn' state of low income against persistent expenses. Therefore, the research sought to compare the results of marketing experimentation with current plans for increasing resiliency, or enabling robust growth, coming out of the pandemic. As the quantitative understanding of the business impacts had been generalized, a closer look was needed into what entrepreneurs and small business leaders were thinking about in the present moment, by reflecting on factors for survival / thriving, until this point and going forward. To capture this wide range of perspectives and strategies in formulation, qualitative methods with a diverse set of businesses were selected. Theoretically, customer-centric marketing principles were employed, focusing on three intangible firm resources (of the resource-based view): 1) Stakeholder Relationships; 2) Brand Equity and 3) Knowledge / Capabilities. With the realization that adequate financing is inaccessible and government support perceivably unreliable, small businesses naturally tested several emergent strategies within the limits of their available resources.

  • HELSINKI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    HELSINKI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Helsinki | 2019 0 Helsinki is the capital of Finland and the largest and most important city in terms of commerce and trading. Helsinki is surrounded by Espoo, Vantaa and multiple other smaller cities, together they are usually referred to as the Helsinki Metropolitan Area (HMA). The population of HMA is about 1.5 million. Helsinki itself sets the tone to the Finnish economy and to all other Finnish markets. With broad avenues, grand architecture, well-tended parks and no high-rise buildings, Helsinki is a beautifully planned 19th Century city, but one that retains a small town feel. It is arguably closer in atmosphere and appearance to the major cities of Eastern Europe than those in the West, but it has the typically safe and clean reputation of a Scandinavian city. The main shopping areas in Helsinki CBD are located in high streets such as Pohjoisesplanadi, Mannerheimintie, Keskuskatu, Aleksanterinkatu, and Mikonkatu. There are also several large shopping centers located very centrally. Rental levels in these retail areas are the highest in Finland. Due to the weather conditions, shopping centers are very popular in Finland.

This scenario was based on a positive market situation experienced during the fi rst half of the calendar year 2011, and consequently the Group was geared for growth. However, with a reported consolidated revenue of DKK 3,819 million and an operating profi t of DKK 130 million the results for the year under review are both disappointing and dissatisfactory. The reason behind this dissatisfactory performance has been a signifi cant change in the assumptions.
