Stress Management through the Philosophy of Yoga
No full textThe purpose of this Bachelor’s thesis was to produce a four-week yoga philosophy-based course and examine whether it reduced the level of perceived stress in a trial group. The objectives were to understand negative effects of stress on a societal and individual level, study yoga philosophy and deepen professional knowledge of the author regarding these topics. In addition, the original aim of the commissioning party, the learning environment of the Kajaani University of Applied Sciences (KAMK), was to enhance their offering of stress management related services through the written information and the produced material. However, since the functioning of the learning environment was to be terminated in spring 2019, the main benefit remained in the professional growth of the author.
In the theoretical part of the thesis, the prevalence of stress was discovered and an understanding of the harmfulness of stress on a societal level was established. Correspondingly, the disadvantages of stress on an individual level were researched. These led to the importance of stress management and from numerous techniques, yoga was chosen for this paper. Consequently, the philosophy of yoga was studied, with a focus on the teachings of Patanjali, and based on his techniques and a personal reasoning of the author, the course was compiled.
The thesis was functional, and it had features from product development process and action research. The product development was used when compiling the course, and it involved a development area which was the stress management, and the problem identifying and finding the possible solution which occurred through the research to form the theoretical framework. Lastly, the product was tested with a trial group. Additionally, action research, a method where the aim is to implement a change towards better, was applied and a linear model of the method was executed, thus the cycle of research and action occurred just once. Five staff members of KAMK participated to a four-week trial which was mainly implemented online. When researching the functionality of the course, questionnaires including open and closed questions were presented for the initial mapping and at the end.
The results indicated that this kind of course does not significantly reduce the level of perceived stress. The possible reasons for this, according to the results were: the course was too short, life events affected stress levels, a lack of engagement towards the online materials and introspection, or lack of commitment towards the practice of the suggested yoga postures. Nevertheless, the trial appeared to have other positive effects on the participants, depending on their engagement and personal background, and the course was perceived to be useful.
Had there been more time to work within this context, the author would have reintroduced the topics, this time however, during contact sessions to allow time for introspection and conversation. Nevertheless, when seeking change, the results can be unexpected due to how the problem and suggested solutions are perceived. In conclusion, even without the achievement of reducing the level or perceived stress, the process can be considered successful due to the triggered positive effects, and professional development of the author in a societally important field
Students’ Satisfaction with University Lunch Quality: Case Fox Mamselli Restaurant at KAMK
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to measure the students’ satisfaction with university lunch service, at the same time, to identify the international perspectives and suggest new strategies for the upcoming renovation. The research was conducted for the sake of both students and university’s restaurant itself, specifically, not only help them have a higher quality university lunch but also provide Fox Mamselli restaurant with the students’ expectations and develop ideas for a new canteen in the future.
Different concepts of customer satisfaction, customer expectation and measurements are discussed in the theoretical part. This section explains the customer perceptions as well as the correlation between customer satisfaction and six-core determinants based on the conceptual model of (Wilson, et al., 2012). The researcher applied the SERVQUAL model in evaluating service quality and its linkage with the satisfaction level. Essentially, the information of university lunch served by the institutions of higher education in Finland is introduced, followed by multi-cultural views of Finnish cuisine and Finnish school meal obtained in initial studies.
The author utilized two research methods, i.e. qualitative and quantitative methods to solve the research problems. An online survey was conducted with 117 participants, including both Finnish and foreign students at KAMK. A semi-structured interview with a representative of Fox Mamselli was then implemented via email to conclude in renovation strategies, which solve the remaining issues and expectations raised in the survey results.
The study outcome illustrates that lunch price and service quality were both hit the highest satisfaction level. The school meal offered by Fox brings a positive image of Finnish cuisine to international customers as well. Nevertheless, menu selection and food quality should be prioritized to improve in the next renovation. Kajaani Mamselli has proposed applicable solutions for the lunch variety and international development such as organizing theme weeks and tasting afternoons. The canteen premise will be upgraded with expanded spaces and other amenities. Extra services added to the Fox lunch are taken into consideration with appropriate price adjustment
A Study on Retainment of International Students in the Kainuu Region
No full textThis thesis focused on studying international students at Kajaani University of Applied Sciences (KAMK) to remain in the Kainuu region after graduation. This thesis is research-oriented, aiming to locate factors affecting retention in Kainuu.
The beginning consists of a literature research, which includes articles and books supporting the topic. The literature mainly focuses on theories regarding retention and motivation.
The second part includes a qualitative research in the form of an interview, in which eight current international students in KAMK were interviewed. They were asked 12 questions related to moti-vational factors, employment, and attractiveness of Kainuu. The results do not present a compre-hensive list of factors affecting retention, but the author believes it gives a general guide on the main ideas around motivation in remaining in Kainuu after graduation.
After the literature research, the research methodology and the results were introduced, followed by suggestions for the region. Also, the success of the thesis was evaluated, as well as further re-search possibilities were introduced
Marketing Plan for Kajaani University of Applied Sciences Library
No full textThe aim of this thesis was to write a marketing plan for the Kajaani University of Applied Science (KAMK) library. The marketing plan plays a huge role in the success of all organizations regardless of their type. The right marketing plan consists of identifying the target customers and planning to reach and retain them. The marketing plan works as a guideline and having a solid marketing plan helps the company to identify and embrace the current and future trends and challenges.
The rapid growth of technology has already transformed the current business model of different organizations, including universities and academic libraries. One of the inevitable consequences is that along with these changes, customers’ expectations will also change. Therefore, it was essential to redefine the current and potential customers and analyze how they make use of the library collection and sources. In this thesis, the impact of these issues on the future development of the library services is discussed. The thesis provides updated and comprehensive information about the development of services and spaces within academic libraries.
To embrace the transformation and stay in the competition, it is important to monitor these trends and analyze how they can alter the researchers’ view toward the library. The author completed his internship in the KAMK library and believes that it can satisfy the needs of the current and future students. The adoption of marketing strategies can create an awareness about the library’s collection and motivate students to use these resources in their research. Therefore, continuous and ongoing communication between the library and its patrons is highly suggested
Myyntilaskutusprosessi Yritys X
No full textTiivistelmä
Tekijä: Koskelo Karoliina
Työn nimi: Myyntilaskutusprosessi Yritys X
Tutkintonimike: Tradenomi (Kamk), Liiketalous
Asiasanat: Myyntilaskutusprosessi, laskutusprosessin ongelmat, reklamaatio, prosessin kehittäminen
Tämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena ja tavoitteena oli luoda toimeksiantajalle mahdollisimman selkeä kuva Yritys X:n myyntilaskutuksen nykytilasta, siinä ilmenevistä ongelmista ja tuoda esiin mahdollisia kehitysehdotuksia, joilla myyntilaskutuksessa ilmeneviä virheitä ja niistä johtuvia asiakasreklamaatioita voitaisiin vähentää.
Kyseessä on tutkimuksellinen kehittämistehtävä, jonka teoreettisena viitekehyksenä on käytetty prosessien ja prosessien kehittämisen teoriaa sekä myyntilaskutusprosessiin liittyvää teoriaa. Aineiston hankintaan käytettiin vapaamuotoisia Skype-haastatteluja, havainnointia, dokumenttianalyysiä ja prosessianalyysiä. Monipuolisella aineiston läpikäynnillä pyrittiin saamaan mahdollisimman tarkka kuva Yritys X:n myyntilaskutusprosessista ja sen ongelmakohdista. Havainnointi nousi yhdeksi tärkeimmistä tiedonkeruun menetelmistä, sillä työharjoittelijana taloushallinnossa havainnointia tapahtuu jatkuvasti myyntilaskutusta tehdessä. Haastattelut lähinnä tukivat havain-noinnilla tehtyjä huomioita sekä toivat pääongelmien juurisyitä esille.
Myyntilaskutusprosessin ongelmat tulevat usein esille vasta taloushallinnon osastolla,
jossa tapahtuu Yritys X:n laskutus. Tästä syystä vapaamuotoiset haastattelut olivat tärkeä lisä, sillä ne antoivat tietoa laskun muodostumisen alkulähteiltä.
Myyntilaskutusprosessin ongelmat voidaan jakaa ulkoisiin ja sisäisiin ongelmiin. Asiakaslähtöisiin ongelmiin tässä opinnäytetyössä ei suuremmin oteta kantaa, koska aiheena on Yritys X:n myyntilaskutusprosessin kehittäminen sisäisesti. Suurimmaksi ongelmaksi nousi virheet ja puutteet laskutustiedoissa, joista reklamaatiot pääosin johtuvat.

Title of the Publication: Sales Invoicing Process Company X.
Degree Title: Bachelor of Business Administration (Kamk), Business Economics
Keywords: Sales invoicing process, problems in invoicing process, complaint, process development
The purpose of this thesis was to provide the client with a clear picture of the current situation of the company’s sales invoicing process and its problems. The objective was also to adduce potential ideas for developing sales invoicing to reduce problems arising in invoicing and to decrease the amount of customer complaints due to faults in invoices.
The thesis is a research and development assignment; the theoretical framework covers process and process development theory, as well as theory relating to a sales invoicing process. To gather information, informal Skype -interviews, observation, document and process analysis were used. The variety of methods, mentioned above, was used to achieve as accurate picture as possible of the company’s sales invoicing process and the problems in it. Observation arose as one of the most important ways of research since an intern in financial management can ob-serve the process while taking care of sales invoicing. In addition to employee observation, short informal Skype -interviews in a few customer service units were conducted among the employees in financial management. The interviews mostly supported the observations and adduced the core reasons of the main problems.
In the company, problems in the sales invoicing process are often noticed only in the financial management department, which is responsible for sales invoicing. That is why informal inter-views were an important addition as those interviews gave more information from the initial source of the invoice.
The problems of the sales invoicing process can be divided into two groups: customer oriented and internal problems. This thesis does not considerably editorialize the customer-oriented prob-lems because its focus is on internal problems and on developing the sales invoicing process internally. The biggest problem proved to be faults and defective invoice information, which was also the main cause of complaints
Metallimusiikkitapahtuma @Kulma
No full textTekijä(t): Herala Eetu
Työn nimi: Metal Pursuit – metallimusiikkitapahtuma
Tutkintonimike: Restonomi (AMK), matkailun koulutus
Asiasanat: Tapahtuman järjestäminen, toiminnallinen opinnäytetyö, elämys
Toiminnallisen opinnäytetyöni aiheena oli järjestää ja toteuttaa Metal Pursuit – metallimusiikkita-pahtuma, joka toteutettiin 21.4.2017. Työni toimeksiantajana toimi Kajaanin restonomiopiskelijat REKKa ry. Tapahtumapaikkana toimi Rock House Kulma. Työn tavoitteena oli toimeksiantajajär-jestön imagon vahvistaminen sekä näkyvyyden parantaminen. Opinnäytetyön toiminnallisen osuuden tavoitteena oli myös järjestää kohderyhmälle mieluisa ja muistiin painuva tapahtuma.
Opinnäytetyönä järjestetyn tapahtuman kohderyhmänä toimi periaatteessa kuka vaan, mutta pääsääntöisesti metallimusiikkia kuuntelevat ihmiset. Tapahtumassa pidettiin ensin metallimusiik-kiin liittyvä visa, jossa joukkueet kisasivat vastakkain ja parhaiten pärjänneet voittivat palkinnoksi keikka- ja ruokalippuja. Visa jälkeen esiintyi kaksi bändiä, ensin kajaanilainen Project Hunger ja sen jälkeen iisalmelainen See No Sorrow.
Tapahtuman järjestämisessä tuki ennalta tutkittu teoriapohja, joka sisälsi toiminnallisen opinnäy-tetyön, tapahtuman järjestämisen ja elämyksen teorian sekä tietoa metallimusiikin historiasta. Tutkimani teoriapohja ohjasi ja auttoi tapahtumaprosessissa alusta loppuun saakka.
Tapahtuma sai hyvin huomiota ja herätti kiinnostusta toimeksiantajan jäsenien sekä Kulman asi-akkaiden keskuudessa. Myös opiskelijoita oli paikalla runsaasti. Toimeksiantajalta ja kohderyh-mältä saadun palautteen sekä oman arvioinnin perusteella tapahtuma onnistui hyvin ja asetetut tavoitteet saavutettiin. Tapahtuma järjestettiin ensimmäistä kertaa ja voidaan todeta, että tapah-tuma on mahdollista toteuttaa myös tulevaisuudessa joko sellaisenaan tai muokaten esimerkiksi eri musiikkigenren mukaiseksi.

Title of the Publication: Metal Pursuit-metal music event
Degree Title: Bachelor of Tourism
Keywords: Event, event planning, event organizing, practice-based thesis, adventure
The purpose of this functional thesis was to organize an event for people who listen to metal music. The event took place in 21.4.2017. The commissioner of this thesis was Kajaanin restonomiopiskelijat REKKa ry, a student organization for tourism students in KAMK. The event was organised in Rock House Kulma. The aims of the thesis were to 1. reassert the image of the organization and to increase their coverage 2. to organize a memorable event for the target group and 3. to offer enjoyable night for the fans of metal music.
The target group of the event were, in principal, anyone but mainly people who listen to metal music. The event began with a quiz which had questions regarding metal music. The teams com-peted against each other and two teams with the most points won tickets for the concert, and the best team also received meal vouchers for Kulma. After the quiz there were two bands who played in the event. The first was Project Hunger from Kajaani and the second was See No Sor-row from Iisalmi.
Beforehand studied theoretical framework supported organizing the event during the whole pro-cess. The theoretical framework consisted of theories of functional thesis, event organization and adventure. Furthermore, a brief history of metal music was also studied. With this framework as basis the event was planned and organized.
The event attracted publicity among the customers of Kulma and among members of REKKa ry. There were also lot of other students in the event. The feedback which was given by the com-missioner, the target group as well as author´s self-evaluation suggested that the event was suc-cessful and the set goals were achieved. The event was organized for the first time and in the future, if it is arranged again at some point, the event can be organized as it was, or revise it to fit for example another music genre
