The Cold War and Management
Human Relations, May 2006, 59(5): 611-636 Between West and East: A Social History of Business Journalism in Cold War Finland Antti Ainamo Helsinki School of Economics, Finland Janne Tienari Lappenranta University of Tehnology, Finland Eero Vaara Swedish School of Economics, Finland Ecole de Management de Lyon, France Between West and East: A Social History of Business Journalism in Cold War Finland Abstract The Cold War era was characterized by ideological struggles that had a major impact on economic decision-making, and also on management practice. To date, however, these ideological struggles have received little attention from management and organizational scholars. To partially fill this research gap, we focus on the role of the media in these ideological struggles. Our starting point is that the media both reflect more general societal debates but also act as an agency promoting specific kinds of ideas and ideologies. In this sense, the media exercise significant power in society; this influece, however, is often subtle and easily dismissed in historical analyses focusing on political and corporate decision-making. In this article, we focus on the role of business journalism in the ideological struggles of the Cold War era. Our case in point is Finland, which is arguably a particularly interesting example due to its geo- political position between East and West. Our approach is socio-historical: we focus on the emergence and development of business journalism in the context of the specific struggles in the Finnish political and economic fields. Our analysis shows how the business journalists struggled between nationalist, pro-Soviet and pro-West political forces, but gradually developed into an increasingly influential force promoting neo-liberal ideology. -

FINLAND-SWEDISH LITERATURE IN THE CZECH FIELD OF LITERARY PRODUCTION Jan Dlask Charles University in Prague [email protected] Abstract This contribution, theoretically and methodologically inspired by Pierre Bourdieu's concept of a literary field, analyses the case of Finland-Swedish literature translations into Czech. This literature is viewed as Swedish-language minority literature in Finland after 1900. The field of literary production is small, but nevertheless represents a varied Finland-Swedish 'segment' in the Czech field. As such it constitutes a certain publishing field, having two polarities (commercial/intellectual; young/old) and being entered into by publishers and translators who select writers and books from a certain space of possibles. Print runs of the published books and the distribution of publishing grants are explored with a view to the sociological character of the research. The analysis is divided into sections according to genres and their presupposed place in the field. It is found that while the mechanisms in the Czech publishing field of Finland- Swedish literature are fragmentary (many different authors, works, translators and publishers), the Bourdieusian approach is a productive framework through which to view the division between the intellectual and commercial poles. The position of Finland-Swedish modernist poetry and prose – Edith Södergran, Bo Carpelan and Hagar Olsson, published by Práce and Odeon publishers – is especially significant on the intellectual pole, as well as the position of their advocates within the Czech field (e.g. Josef B. Michl). Short stories, extracts and essays, often belonging to the Finland-Swedish classics (e.g. Christer Kihlman, Henrik Tikkanen), were mainly published in cultural reviews. -

Collectiones Museorum Manuscripta Castreniana Realia II, Ethnographica 1 Travaux Ethnographiques De La Société Finno-Ougrienne XXII
Matthias Alexander Castrén Matthias Alexander Matt hias Alexander Castrén (1813–1852) was by far the most signifi cant Finn- ish linguist of the 19th century. In addition to being a linguist he was also a multidisciplinary scholar, equally versatile in the fi elds of ethnography, folklore, mythology, archaeology, history, and human geography. He left behind a huge corpus of fi eld data, collected by himself during prolonged expeditions to Kare- lia, Lapland, Arctic Russia, and Siberia between 1838 and 1849. In the short peri- ods of time Castrén spent in an academic environment, he had litt le opportunity to synthesize his collections, a situation aggravated by his rapidly progressing and ultimately fatal illness. Th erefore, a major part of his scholarly heritage re- mained unpublished when he died. Castrén was appointed Docent of Finnish and Ancient Nordic Languages and Tribes at the Imperial Alexander University in Helsinki in 1841, and ten years later he became the fi rst Professor of the Finnish Language. M.A. Castrén considered ethnology as a historical science and an instru- ment for describing the early periods of Finnish history. On his expeditions, he carried out ethnographic observations and took notes of the dwellings, cos- tumes, way of life, and customs of indigenous Siberian peoples. According to the programme draft ed by the Imperial Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences, Collectiones museorum Castrén collected ethnological artifacts for the Ethnographic Museum in Saint Petersburg, and some items for the Ethnographic Museum of the University of Helsinki. Th e present work concentrates on the collections which describe Castrén’s merits in ethnological studies and museology. -

Comparisions of Finnish and Chinese Business Cultures
Peng Bo COMPARISIONS OF FINNISH AND CHINESE BUSINESS CULTURES Project /Bachelor’s thesis Business Management October 2009 DESCRIPTION Date of the bachelor's thesis 5 Oct 2009 Author(s) Degree programme and option PengBo Business Management Name of the bachelor's thesis Comparison of the Chinese and Finnish business cultures Abstract Culture is a key to explore the identify of a business. From cultural comparisons we can know more things in detail. It will give people more ideas and help to start business between two countries. Most of Chinese people like to do business with a country they are familiar with. In recent years, China began to deal with Finland in trade and business to establish cooperation between the two countries. To China Finland is a new country, so it is necessary to introduce the Finnish business culture to Chinese people to let them know more about Finland. Conversely, the Chinese business culture also needs to be introduced to Finnish people. In this way, both sides can know more about the other party. I will introduce some facts and figures about the two countries, and compare the Finnish and Chinese business cultures. The business culture comparison can be divided two parts. One part is the academic one, the other part is practical. The academic part includes the theory of business culture and facts and figures of the two countries. The practical part includes the research process, findings and conclusions. I made my interview questions based on the theory part. In order to choose a good company for my practical part I listed some famous companies in Finland and in China.
