The research structure is functional. The research gathered in this thesis is used to create an internationalization plan for Sneaker Bash. The main focus of the first two chapters is theory and to figure out how a Finnish company can internationalize in practise and what decisions a company needs to make for said internationalization. The latter two chapters are applying that theory to the company. The internationalization plan is compiled using previous experience in event management such as, the previous two events held in Finland and feedback from our customers but is based on the theoretical structure. Sneaker Bash may use this internationalization plan when expanding abroad. The thesis discusses the leading factors in the decision making in the empirical section.

After which we will look for different entry modes and Organizational models that best fit said entry mode.

  • Vironniemen Peruspiiri
    101 Vironniemen peruspiiri I ESTNÄS finns Helsingfors och Finlands administrativa centrum. År 1640 flyttades Helsingfors från Vanda åminne ut på Estnäs. I Kronohagen ligger stadens kejserliga empirecentrum: Senatstorget med bl. a. Storkyrkan, Universitetet och Statsrådsborgen. Gloet är hjärtat i Helsingfors centrum. Skatuddshamnen har livlig passagerartrafik, och de gamla magasinen har omändrats för modernare bruk. I Skatuddens östra ända byggdes i början av 1980-talet ett nytt bostadsområde. Vid Tölöviken håller stadsbilden på att förändras starkt: området håller på att bli en kulturknutpunkt med bl.a. Museet för nutidskonst Kiasma, Musikhuset och ett medborgartorg. Vironniemellä on Helsingin ja koko Suomen hallinnollinen ja taloudellinen keskus. Nykyisen Helsingin kasvu alkoi, kun Vantaanjoen suulle perustettu vanha kaupunki siirrettiin vuonna 1640 Vironniemelle. 1800-luvun puoliväliin asti Helsingin rakennettu alue rajoittui lähes kokonaan Vironniemeen ja siitä jonkin verran etelään. Historia näkyy myös alueen nykyisissä rakennuksissa, joista neljäsosa on valmistunut 1700-1800-luvuilla. The district of VIRONNIEMI is the administrative and financial centre Kruununhaassa on Helsingin vanha empirekeskusta, of Helsinki and Finland. In 1640, Senaatintori ja sen ympärillä tuomiokirkko, yliopisto, Helsinki was moved from its old valtioneuvoston linna sekä lukuisat muut valtakunnan location in Vanhakaupunki to the arvokkaimmat julkiset rakennukset. isthmus of Vironniemi.
