Summary and Conclusions
From the Paper
"The Republic of Finland is poised to enter into one of its greatest economic expansions in their long history. With the diverse lines of possibilities available for export one can implement this exportation on a case by case basis, or put another way one step at a time.
Your firm is well equipped, staffed, and has the expertise to handle even multiple areas if this is the course of action one decides to take. With the wide range of products and services available to your firm the strong recommendation is to move ahead beginning with the franchising phase.
There is much to be gained by moving forward and likewise much to lose with hesitation. One can rest assured some other group will seize the opportunity should unnecessary delay be encountered in the decision making process. Finland offers a totally unique opportunity that for most is a once in a lifetime type opportunity. Moreover, once in Finland expansion into the other Baltic nations becomes much like icing on a cake. A bonus for foresight and forthright action based upon these recommendations."

Introduction
Evaluating and Contrasting the American, Finnish, and Australian Markets
From the Paper
"The new product that Sequiem has recently launched on the American market is a biometric fingerprint door lock which has been designed after a three-year research process which took into account all the significant features of the consumers' behavior. First of all, the product targeting the home security market has considered the difficulties that clients may find in turning from the traditional key systems to the new biometric ones. In order to ensure a smooth transition, the company has made a keyhole in the lock and has provided users with a key backup although it is aware that this will never be used."

From the paper:
"The expansion of trade shows also serve as evidence of the growth of China's dental market. The 2001 Sino-Dentech, generally believed to be the largest international dental show in China so far, drew about 170 international exhibitors from all over including Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, U.S., and even Liechtenstein. Prior to 1996, dental products had been exhibited together with other medical devices. Now the annual show is drawing increasingly larger and larger number of exhibitors, totaling 463 in 2001, and visitors.
The growth of the domestic dental industry has been substantial in the past several years. There are currently over 100 domestic dental product manufacturers in China, mainly concentrating on the low-tier market. This allows foreign imports to gain control of the medium and high end product segments, of which The Village Toothbrush primarily markets to."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Merita Bank fortunes change from year to year and its most consistent characteristic appears to be its incongruity. Some of Merita's problems can be traced back to market idiosyncrasies, most notably an inflexibility about local practices that defy the efforts of even the most pliable agent bank: Merita's progress is all the more notable as a result. Also making progress is Leonia Bank, but its client base is negligible. SEB Securities Services and Svenska Handelsbanken are the real ringers to watch, thereby making Finland a natural target for those with regional ambitions in Europe's colder bands."

The Euro, 2004.
This paper discusses the effects of the euro on participating countries, especially Finland, and, based on secondary research, concludes that the UK would benefit by joining the European Monetary Union (EMU).

Abstract
This paper explains that the introduction and implementation of the euro has done much to integrate the national financial markets, leading to higher efficiency in the allocation of capital in Europe, with EMU members benefiting from an increase in intra-European trade flows and higher capital investment resulting from the development of a single currency. The author points out that a single currency is now an important complement to the Single European Market, which is quickly making the European Union a more powerful player in the global economy. The paper stresses that the single unit of account reduces transaction costs and eliminates a portion of the fixed costs involved in issuing similar securities in multiple currencies, serving to moderate home bias in borrowing and lending, and leading to larger, more-liquid, and more-diversified financial markets.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The common currency will ultimately speed up the integration of the EU countries. With a single currency, a single monetary and interest policy, the countries in the euro zone are more dependent on one another than they ever were. The single currency is slated to become an outward sign of European identity. Thus, national economic policies must remain sufficiently flexible to react to different situations. However, better coordination is necessary to avoid future problems. Europe's increasing power in monetary and financial questions will for also have positive effects on the EU's scope for foreign policy action. A Europe with fewer internal borders and in which people use the same currency from will have a new quality quite different from the Europe of the past."

Efforts to Reduce Global Warming, 2006.
A look at Finland's and Spain's efforts to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases in their respective countries.
2,824 words (approx. 11.3 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 84.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the approach to reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases taken by both Finland and Spain. The paper describes the domestic measures both countries have implemented in their efforts to help fight global warming, how successful they have been in meeting this objective and how each country would be affected by the imposition of a global environmental tax designed to help control greenhouse gases emissions globally.
From the Paper
"The leaders of both Spain and Finland have been working hard for years to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. Large quantities of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere are responsible for global warming. If global warming continues it will have catastrophic consequences on the world's environment. World leaders have proposed many ideas to solve the problem of global warming, but have had little success. One answer to the problem is to impose a global environmental tax. However, leaders in many European countries feel that the burden on their economy will be too great. In addition, conflicting results from studies aimed at projecting the effect an environmental tax will have on their economy has confused leaders, and made them reticent to commit to a tax."

Five-Country Political Analysis, 2002.
A cross-national political analysis of Russia, Iran, France, Finland and Venezuela.

»

Abstract
This paper analyzes the political institutions, culture and economy of five countries-Russia, Iran, France, Finland, and Venezuela. The central argument/thesis of the paper is that a capitalist economic system does not by itself lead to greater democratization or to an increased valuation of human rights. In fact, the argument is that, more and more, conditions beyond the control of the government of any particular country are what is driving the political institutions, culture and economy.

Food in Scandanavia, 1997.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the food history of Scandinavia. The scope and limit of this research is determined by both cultural history and specific geography. Geographically speaking, Scandinavia is considered to comprise the peninsula where sit Norway and Sweden. However, cultural referents assign Scandinavian status to Denmark, Iceland, and Finland as well (Funk & Wagnalls). Where the food history of the region is concerned, the relatively limited but all-inclusive topographical area is appropriate to consider, for there are numerous overlaps and convergence of food history in the designated countries.
The practical, climate- and topography-driven inaccessibility of Scandinavia appears to have driven the shape that food production and consumption have taken in the region over.."

The Diffusion of Mobile Service Platforms, 2003.
Examines why Finnish consumers buy mobile phones.
3,512 words (approx. 14.0 pages), 23 sources, MLA, $ 98.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The future of mobile telephony is closely linked to services. Users are required to purchase new phones with new technical features for the large-scale diffusion of service platforms and the adoption of increasingly advanced services. The survey in this paper indicates, however, that services are not such an important reason for consumer purchases of new mobile phones. In this paper, the authors have chosen a different approach, in which they look at the reasons consumers have bought their recent mobile phones in Finland. Instead of relying on the hopes and expectations of the future, they focus on individual consumer interpretations of past behavior. The paper, first, briefly describes the peculiarities of the Finnish mobile market.Then it looks at how the survey was carried out and what kinds of results were obtained. Finally it discusses the relevance of the results for the evolution of mobile services. The paper includes tables.

From the Paper
"The visions of mobile telephony are closely linked to services, gaming, multimedia and mCommerce. For the large scale diffusion of these innovations and applications, users are required to purchase new phones with new features (Kalakota & Robinson 2002, Lindmark 2002). GPRS, Java and Symbian applications are new parts of the contemporary infrastructure in Europe, but even this infrastructure is going to evolve rapidly in the near future. This means that a user with a phone bought today is not likely to be able to take full advantage of the state-of-the-art mobile features and services a few years from now. Correspondingly, the new features and services will not be commercially successful if only few consumers purchase appropriate phones."

The European Union (EU) and Western Europe, 2004.
This paper discusses that history of the European Union and its effect on the region and its member states.

Abstract
This paper explains that the concept, which years later became the EU, began in 1948 as the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC), whose job it was to advance the rebuilding of war-torn Europe and to help distribute American financial aid (Marshall Aid) for Western Europe. The author points out that, while the overall trend is toward greater regionalization in Europe, there is a great deal of variation among countries, with the smaller countries such as Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark demonstrating little change. The paper concludes that all European countries need a more decentralized system that promotes effective and efficient public service, increased transparency, and accountability.
From the Paper
"Basically, Belgium?s commitment to the process of unification after the war has placed it in its current position of power (International Herald Tribune, 2003). At the heart of Europe since the 1950?s, Belgium has embraced most core EU polices, from the creation of a single currency to the abolition of passport controls within the Schengen zone (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain). A stable democracy with a decentralized government, Belgium has low inflation and slow but steady economic growth, forecast to reach 1.8 percent in 2004. The country has grown over the past three decades into a decentralized state, whose power rests with the three regional governments: Flanders in the north, Wallonia in the south and Brussels as an autonomous region near the center of the country. With one of the EU?s most open economies, Belgium welcomes foreign investment, and its economic policies do not distinguish between domestic and foreign companies."

Language Planning, 2001.
This essay is a discussion of the main issues of language planning. The discussion is illustrated with two examples of recent language planning attempts.

Abstract
This essay provides an outline of what language planning involves - a deliberate attempt to modify and change the linguistic behavior of a society. It looks at the reasons behind it and the organizations and groups involved in it. It then proceeds to illustrate the discussion using cases from Finland and Norway.
From the Paper
"The reasons behind language planning are complex and plentiful, ranging from large-scale modifications to more modest issues. It can be used to provide solutions to complex social problems, to develop national and official languages, and to standardise particular dialects. Language planners can make linguistic modifications so that subgroups of a particular population speaking different varieties of that language are united as a nation. As technology advances, language can be modified in order to address these developments. The reformation of spelling systems, lexical modernisation, and stylistic simplification are examples of language planning. More modest decisions such as which languages are to be used on signposts or which are to be used for educational purposes also involve deliberate modification. However, linguists and others involved in language planning are not always faced with the task of changing a language. There are circumstances in which the revival or preservation of a language involves deliberate attempts to prevent changes from occurring."

The Global Wireless Industry, 2004.
This paper discusses business developments and problems in the global wireless industry.
1,345 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the United States is the largest user of the wireless telephone in the world with more than 78 million users, but the percentage of population with access to wireless telephones is much larger in certain European countries, such as Finland, which is the leader with a 62% penetration of wireless phones. The author points out that low penetration in the U.S. can be attributed to bad service and very high charges for roaming because, unlike Europe, which has a uniform digital standard, the U.S. has no national standards. The paper relates that the entire issue is further clouded by the influence of politics and motivations of economics, which has led to alliances that are not in the best interest of technology.
From the Paper
"There are many senior analysts who predict that the change will come faster than the predictions that have been given by many of the analysts. The penetration of these phones is increasing and some experts have predicted that the penetration of wireless phones will reach 55% in the current year and 65% in another ten years. The rate of growth is increasing further even now as the carriers are coming out with new marketing schemes and lowering prices, but that alone is not sufficient. The other important features like wireless Internet and data services have to be provided. There are limits to the extent that price can be lowered. The providers are now looking at methods to get the customers to use more of airtime and collect there own revenue from ancillary services. For this the wireless phones have to become a part of people?s lives. There is now also a lot of expenditures to open up new markets and enter markets which are not being served properly now."

Abstract
This paper compares the American college grading system to universities in Finland. It looks at how the American system needs to show more flexibility and adaptability in order to better prepare the students for the job market and the 'real world'.
From the Paper
"Almost everyone can find fault in the current education system. It is true that our system is not perfect. There have been many different propositions on how to correct the numerous problems. These ideas range from minor alterations to radical transformations. I believe that the current system can check a student's progress, provide motivation, as well as elevate the more talented students. Even with the aforementioned positive aspects, there are many problems that may be detrimental to students. The classroom environment is not always conductive to learning. The grades that students receive, classroom size, and even testing methods could be seen as weaknesses in the educational process. There are possible corrections for some of these aspects while others could be considered necessary evils for places of higher learning to operate."
