Analysis of the present (and impact) of women in business organizations in contemporany Spanish democracy. The impact of Spanish law of equality reviewed

Since its approval, in 2007, the Spanish Law of Equality (LO 3/2007) has been the target of many scholars on gender issues. Those analyses (and those previous to the first observable results of the Spanish Law of Equality), have largely prioritized political representative institutions and political parties as the main arenas to assess the impact of the new regulation. Nevertheless, to make a comprehensive analysis of the increase and impact of the presence of women in contemporary democracies one cannot exclude the existence of many other crucial actors in our pluralist systems, such as business organizations.In this line, in order to widen the knowledge on the presence of women in Spanish contemporary democracy, as well as to further assess the impact of Spanish Law of Equality on the presence of women in economic and political life, our paper will look at the gender bias of the executive committees in the Spanish Chambers of Commerce and business associations during the period 20010-2012. By placing those actors at the front sight, we aim to contribute with new empirical insights to the current debate on this topic.

Osaaminen tietämyksen tukena kehitettäessä aikuisopiston työprosesseja

Osaaminen voi muodostua ongelmaksi yritysten kilpailukyvylle, jos siihen ei kiinnitetä huomiota jo strategiasuunnittelusta lähtien. Vaikka asiakkaiden muuttuneet odotukset kyettäisiinkin kohdentamaan ennen kilpailijoita, saattaa olla, että siihen ei pystytä vastaamaan, jos ei ehditä oppimaan uutta tai uudella tavalla. Diplomityön tavoitteena on laatia Etelä-Karjalan aikuisopistollehenkilöstön osaamisen kehittämiskuvaus siitä, kuinka strategian määrittämisestälähtien voidaan henkilöstön osaamista parantaa ja pyrkiä luomaan kilpailuetua markkinoilla. Henkilöstön osaamisen kehittäminen tulee olla suunnitelmallista, tarvittaessa yksilön, ryhmän ja organisaation edut huomioivaa, riittävän yksinkertaista ja konkreettista, jotta suunnitelma voidaan toteuttaa, seurata ja edelleenkehittää. Työn teoriaosassa on kuvattu vision ja strategian merkitystä osaamisen kehittämiseen. Lisäksi on tarkasteltu yksilön oppimista, oppimisen prosessia ja sen kehittymistä organisaation kyvykkyydeksi. Osaamisen infrastruktuuria on lähestytty organisaatiokulttuurin, sitouttamisen ja kehittämisjärjestelmän näkökulmasta. Empiirisessä osuudessa on tuotu esiin aikuisopiston henkilöstön osaamisen kehittämisen tavoitteet, nykyiset käytännöt, kehittämisen vaihtoehdot sekä jatkotoimenpiteet. Osaaminen on aikuisopiston henkilöstön ammattitaidon perusta. Osaamistarpeen määrittämisen tulee keskittyä aikuisopiston ydinosaamisen kehittämiseen. Henkilöstö tulisi nähdä motivoinnin ja sitouttamisen kautta inhimillistä tietopääomaa kasvattavana tekijänä, johon voidaan sujuvasti liittää aineeton pääoma (data, informaatio jne.) sekä strateginen reservi, kuten kilpailuetua tuottava innovointitoiminta.

Green Field fluteboard factory infrastructure requirements in Russia

Russian corrugated board market is rapidly developing. Owing to that Russia becomes more and more attractive to the companies ¿ world leaders in corrugated board production. Thus, in order to strengthen or even to maintain its market position the firm should uninterruptedly develop improving volume and quality of the products. At the same time operations in the Russian market are commonlyassociated with various types of risks which should be avoided. Unfortunately, the information of the Russian corrugated board market is not systematized yet there is almost no theoretical background in this areaand, therefore, the thesis is mainly based on the practical experience of the managers of Stora Enso. The goal of the paper is to define and describe the main particularities of Russian corrugated board market which are lying in different areas and to concentrate on the difficultieswith which a corrugated board factory may face while functioning in the Russian market. The contribution of the thesis consists of forming general requirements and principles while establishing a corrugated boardproduction facility and maintaining its operations in order to avoid risks, to save time and financial resources and as a result to operate in the Russian market obtaining higher profits.

When supply travels far beyond demand: Causes of oversupply in Spain’s transport infrastructure

Spain’s transport infrastructure policy has become a paradigmatic case of oversupply and of mismatch with demand. The massive expansion of the country’s transport infrastructure over the last decade has not been a response to demand bottlenecks or previously identified needs. For this reason, the intensity of use today on all interurban modes of transport in Spain falls well below that of other EU countries. This paper analyzes the institutional and regulatory factors that have permitted this policy, allowing us to draw lessons from the Spanish case that should help other countries avoid the pitfalls and shortcomings of Spanish policy.
