  • Internationalization of Small Firms with Scarce Resources: Finding Potential Markets and Entry Modes Case: Funsquare Ab
    Internationalization of small firms with scarce resources: finding potential markets and entry modes Case: FunSquare Ab. Atte Cederqvist Department of International Marketing Åbo Akademi Turku ÅBO AKADEMI Department of: International Marketing Type of work: Master’s thesis Author: Atte Cederqvist Date: 17/5/2018 Title of Thesis: Internationalization of small firms with scarce resources: finding potential markets & entry modes. Case: FunSquare Ab. Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to build a new model for searching potential foreign markets, which is applied to the identification of potential markets for a recently established furniture startup company. Furthermore, foreign market entry modes and marketing activities for small firms are being discussed with the intent of guiding the company in its initial internationalization processes. This thesis functions as a guiding tool for small firms that are considering internationalization. The information brought up in this thesis fits especially well with international new ventures, and other small firms that are facing challenges due to their limited resources, as the theme throughout this work is how to internationalize when resources are scarce. In the study, a mixed-methods approach is used to both analyze existing models for market search, and to search for freely available data that is needed to conduct a search for potential markets. No monetary resources can be used in the implementation of the new model, which is a constrain that to my knowledge, does not exist in any current market selection models. The research indicates that relatively accurate results of potential markets can be gained without using any monetary resources in the collection of the needed data.

  • The Development of Urban Form in Metropolitan Regions: Examples from Helsinki and Stockholm
    Harry Schulman 24.10.2013 The development of urban form in metropolitan regions: Examples from Helsinki and Stockholm “Urban form, metropolitan region” and other main concepts Project questions and tasks Main theoretical concepts Case study: The city-regions of Helsinki and Stockholm • City-region identifications and divisions to core and peri-urban areas • Identification of centers and polycentricity • Analyses of urban core areas and peri-urban areas • Linking them to mobility zones (walking and cycling, public transport, use of private car) Some results Conclusions (draft) “Urban form in metropolitan region” Studies of urban form aims to understand the morphology and functionality of urban fabric and the structures & actors behind urban growth and development. A metropolitan region ties together the contiguous urban built-up areas bound to the main center or to a large polycentric system by employment, commerce etc. – often known as a commuter zone. It may include not only a city, but the city-system with surrounding suburban, peri- urban and rural areas, all which it is presumed to influence. The term is understood differently when studied at different scales!

Helsinki is a part of this fight! We want to do our part and be a pioneer in climate action. Our goal is that Helsinki will be carbon-neu- tral by 2035. The most important decision made in 2018 was the preparation of the Carbon-neutral Helsinki 2035 Action Plan, which was unanimously ap- proved by the City Board. The Plan, which includes 147 actions, is wide, ambitious and practical. The Action Plan shows that we truly possess the means to reduce our emissions and achieve carbon-neutrality. However, the City needs to work hard on implementing the Plan and do things differently across sectors. I believe that we can learn a lot from international collaboration with other cities. Helsinki was recently accepted into the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance, the members of which all share the goal of carbon-neutrality. To gain new perspectives, Helsinki will hold an international challenge competition in autumn 2019, which will be used to seek ways in which to give up coal while using as little bioenergy as possible.

  • 119 Revenue Base of Estonian Local Governments
    REVENUE BASE OF ESTONIAN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, REGIONAL DISPARITIES AND ECONOMIC PROBLEMS IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF THE CAPITAL CITY AREA Sulev Mäeltsemees Mikk Lõhmus Tallinn University of Technology Introduction The analysis of regional socio-economic development within our towns and cities has, until now, been generally treated in isolation, in other words, distinct units. In reality, an important trend in Estonian institutions, and primarily in the case of larger cities, is the period relating to the market economy in the aftermath of independence, (at least from the mid-1990’s when the real estate market was formed), which has been connected to the origin of urban sprawl and urban areas. For that reason, numerous social, economic and environmental problems are evaluated independent of the status of the settlement and often independent of administrative boundaries and regions. From statistics institutions of some countries, one can acquire data of cities only by sections of urban areas (Principal Urban Area). For example, according to the “City population” internet database, the population of Copenhagen (1,145.8 hundred thou- sand people) is solely taken from the urbanized area (Principal Urban Area). Similarly, it is known that within historical administrative boundaries, Copen- hagen’s population is half of that. In the case of Helsinki, the city’s population is given as 564.5 thousand, and yet, the capital city area (Principal Metropolitan Area) population (1,027.3 thousand) is added. The aforementioned also applies to Stock- holm where, within the city’s administrative region, 782.9 thousand people live, whereas the capital city region is inhabited by 1,889.9 thousand people.
