  • 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. During H1 2011/12 the Group experienced a drastic slowdown in consumer spending which was partly due to the worsened European debt crisis and partly due to the unusual warm weather during the autumn and winter.

In his classification system for flora Linnaeus took human sexuality as his model: flowers served as perfumed bridal beds for husbands and wives to enjoy their wedding night in, with stamens acting as husbands, pistils as wives. Counting the numbers of ‘husbands’ and ‘wives’ of each flower, he described some polyandrous flowers as having ‘up to twenty males in the same marriage’, while other households had ‘one husband living with both his wife and his concubines’. Many of Linnaeus’ prudish peers were outraged by the erotic suggestions and scandalous implications of both polygamy and ‘loathsome harlotry’ in plants. Linnaeus avenged his critics by naming particularly unattractive weeds after them, Sigesbeckia orien- talis (St Paul’s wort), after Siegesbeck, being one example.

    TIGER OF SWEDEN WOMEN AUTUMN/WINTER 2017 ELS-MARIE ENBUSKE AND KARIN FRITZ HEADS OF DESIGN, WOMENSWEAR AUTUMN/WINTER 2017 “This collection is inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe. Her landscapes are so beautiful and sensuous, and we admire HER FIERCE INDEPENDENCE as a woman and artist. Georgia had incredible style, and the trouser suits are influenced by the way she often wore men’s suits. The tailoring is traditionally masculine but we softened the silhouette for women’s bodies, with SLIM-FITTING JACKETS. There’s definitely a romantic and feminine side to the collection too – like the flamboyant flounce on the one-shoulder dress. We also spent a lot of time on the coats. We wanted them to be strong, to have character. And you can’t put on the crazy faux fur tiger jacket without getting a happy feeling.” ELS-MARIE ENBUSKE AND KARIN FRITZ HEADS OF DESIGN, WOMENSWEAR AUTUMN/WINTER 2017 This season, the Tiger of Sweden woman longs The collection offers a series of outerwear for to be hiking in the mountains, looking out at the every scenario in urban life.
