Elektroniikan alihankintapalveluiden (EMS) liiketoimintaympäristössä yritykset toimivat pääasiassa asiakkaiden projektien ja ulkoistamispäätösten keskellä. Tämän tyyppisessä liiketoimintaympäristössä on asiakas keskeisessä roolissa, kuten liiketoiminnassa yleensäkin. Termi EMS sisältää koko tuotteen elinkaaren aina suunnittelusta myynnin jälkeisiin palveluihin. Asiakkaan olessa erittäin tärkeä yritykselle, on myös selvitettävä mitkä asiakkaat ovat yrityksen kannalta arvokkaimmat. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää myyntijohdon tietotarpeet sekä löytää selkeä ja helppokäyttöinen tapa tuoda tarvittava informaatio heidän käyttöönsä. Tietotarpeet selvitettiin haastatteluilla ja kyselytutkimuksella ja sopivan järjestelmän löytämisessä käytettiin prototyyppi-lähestymistä, jotta saataisiin selville täyttääkö valittu järjestelmä myyntijohdon tarpeet. Nk. dashboard-mittaristot ovat hyvä tapa tuoda asiakasinformaatiota päätöksenteontueksi. Tälläisillä mittaristoilla voidaan myös yhdistellä eri lähteistä olevaa tietoa ja tuoda se ymmärrettävässä muodossa esiin. Tässä tutkimuksessa kuvataan mittariston suunnittelu myyntijohdon tarpeisiin. Ensimmäisenä tutkitaan kyselyn avulla myyntijohtajien tiedon tarpeet ja tämän jälkeen etsitään sopiva tekninen sovellus ja ratkaistaan tiedon siirtoihin liittyvät ongelmat. Kun ensimmäinen versio on valmis, esitellään se myyntijohdolle, jotta saadaan kerättyä kommentit seuraavaan versioon.

Yrityksen sisäisten rajapintojen tunteminen mahdollistaa tiedonvaihdon hallinnan läpi organisaation. Idean muokkaaminen kannattavaksi innovaatioksi edellyttää organisaation eri osien läpi kulkevaa saumatonta prosessiketjua sekä tietovirtaa. Tutkielman tavoitteena oli mallintaa organisaation kahden toiminnallisesti erilaisen osan välinen tiedon vaihto. Tiedon vaihto kuvattiin rajapintana, tietoliittymänä. Kolmiulotteinen organisaatiomalli muodosti tutkimuksen pääteorian. Se kytkettiin yrityksen tuotanto- ja myyntiosiin, kuten myös BestServ-projektin kehittämään uuteen palvelujen kehittämisen prosessiin. Uutta palvelujen kehittämisen prosessia laajennettiin ISO/IEC 15288 standardin kuvaamalla prosessimallilla. Yritysarkkitehtuurikehikoita käytettiin mallintamisen perustana. Tietoliittymä nimenä kuvastaa näkemystä siitä, että tieto [tietämys] on olemukseltaan yksilöiden tai ryhmien välistä. Mallinnusmenetelmät eivät kuitenkaan vielä mahdollista tietoon [tietämykseen] liittyvien kaikkien ominaisuuksien mallintamista. Tietoliittymän malli koostuu kolmesta osasta, joista kaksi esitetään graafisessa muodossa ja yksi taulukkona. Mallia voidaan käyttää itsenäisesti tai osana yritysarkkitehtuuria. Teollisessa palveluliiketoiminnassa sekä tietoliittymän mallinnusmenetelmä että sillä luotu malli voivat auttaa konepajateollisuuden yritystä ymmärtämään yrityksen kehittämistarpeet ja -kohteet, kun se haluaa palvelujen tuottamisella suuremman roolin asiakasyrityksen liiketoiminnassa. Tietoliittymän mallia voidaan käyttää apuna organisaation tietovarannon ja tietämyksen mallintamisessa sekä hallinnassa ja näin pyrkiä yhdistämään ne yrityksen strategiaa palvelevaksi kokonaisuudeksi. Tietoliittymän mallinnus tarjoaa tietojohtamisen kauppatieteelliselle tutkimukselle menetelmällisyyden tutkia innovaatioiden hallintaa sekä organisaation uudistumiskykyä. Kumpikin tutkimusalue tarvitsevat tarkempaa tietoa ja mahdollisuuksia hallita tietovirtoja, tiedon vaihtoa sekä organisaation tietovarannon käyttöä.

Introduction Our institution (University hospital) is encouraging physical activities for health through various popular sporting events in the city of Lausanne, the biggest of which is a road race of 2, 4, 10 and 20km. Objective To create an efficient and sustainable training program in preparation of the race for a group of motivated hospital employees without any prior experience with structured training and to identifying the benefits and limitations encountered.. Methods Subjects of various fitness levels were recruited by add and agreed to undergo lab and field testing before a 12-week 3 times/week running program, based on maximal aerobic speed (MAS-30/30 sec intervals), running technique exercises and endurance training. The interval session was the only one supervised. Their goal was the 10km (11 subjects) and the 20km (6 subjects). Results A group of 17 subjects (7 male and 10 female), mean age 36.6±7.3 years, VO2max 44.0±5.5 ml/kg/min, filed test interval MAS 15.1±2.4 km/h started the program. 2 were lost because of injury (while skiing). Adherence to interval sessions was excellent, although 3 weekly training sessions proved to be difficult for most of the subjects. Performance in the race was satisfying for all of them, 6/7 subjects having improved their running time from the previous year, the others participated for the first time and 7/8 completed the race satisfyingly, one DNF-ed because of sinusitis. Repeat MAS field test was available for 6 subjects, who improved by 5.9% (p<0.01). Subjectively, all of the participants were very satisfied with improvement, interaction with colleagues from various professions, and with self achievement and confidence. Conclusions Implementation of a structured training program for recreational or non-athletes can be very successful in creating a better self-confidence, a better working environment inside a hospital facility and obviously in improvement of physical fitness and athletic performance. Above all, it can only encourage health institutions to promote the health of their own employees through physical activity, which can allow people to connect through sports. As a result, subjects in this study tend to encourage other employees to be more active and are hungry for more advice and continued offers for physical activities benefiting both them and the institution through better efficiency at work and less absenteeism common to more active people.

The purpose of this dissertation is to increase the understanding and knowledge of field sales management control systems (i.e. sales managers monitoring, directing, evaluating and rewarding activities) and their potential consequences on salespeople. This topic is important because research conducted in the past has indicated that the choice of control system type can on the other hand have desirable consequences, such as high levels of motivation and performance, and on the other hand leadto harmful unintended consequences, such as opportunistic or unethical behaviors. Despite the fact that marketing and sales management control systems have been under rigorous research for over two decades, it still is at a very early stage of development, and several inconsistencies can be found in the research results. This dissertation argues that these inconsistencies are mainly derived from misspecification of the level of analysis in the past research. These different levels of analysis (i.e. strategic, tactical, and operational levels) involve very different decision-making situations regarding the control and motivation of sales force, which should be taken into consideration when conceptualizing the control. Moreover, the study of salesperson consequences of a field sales management control system is actually a cross-level phenomenon, which means that at least two levels of analysis are simultaneously involved. The results of this dissertation confirm the need to re-conceptualize the field sales management control system concept. It provides empirical evidence for the assertion that control should be conceptualized with more details atthe tactical/operational level of analysis than at the strategic levelof analysis. Moreover, the results show that some controls are more efficiently communicated to field salespeople than others. It is proposed that this difference is due to different purposes of control; some controls aredesigned for influencing salespersons' behavior (aim at motivating) whereas some controls are designed to aid decision-making (aim at providing information). According to the empirical results of this dissertation, the both types of controls have an impact to the sales force, but this impactis not as strong as expected. The results obtained in this dissertation shed some light to the nature of field sales management control systems, and their consequences on salespeopl

Due to the intense international competition, demanding, and sophisticated customers, and diverse transforming technological change, organizations need to renew their products and services by allocating resources on research and development (R&D). Managing R&D is complex, but vital for many organizations to survive in the dynamic, turbulent environment. Thus, the increased interest among decision-makers towards finding the right performance measures for R&D is understandable. The measures or evaluation methods of R&D performance can be utilized for multiple purposes; for strategic control, for justifying the existence of R&D, for providing information and improving activities, as well as for the purposes of motivating and benchmarking. The earlier research in the field of R&D performance analysis has generally focused on either the activities and considerable factors and dimensions - e.g. strategic perspectives, purposes of measurement, levels of analysis, types of R&D or phases of R&D process - prior to the selection of R&Dperformance measures, or on proposed principles or actual implementation of theselection or design processes of R&D performance measures or measurement systems. This study aims at integrating the consideration of essential factors anddimensions of R&D performance analysis to developed selection processes of R&D measures, which have been applied in real-world organizations. The earlier models for corporate performance measurement that can be found in the literature, are to some extent adaptable also to the development of measurement systemsand selecting the measures in R&D activities. However, it is necessary to emphasize the special aspects related to the measurement of R&D performance in a way that make the development of new approaches for especially R&D performance measure selection necessary: First, the special characteristics of R&D - such as the long time lag between the inputs and outcomes, as well as the overall complexity and difficult coordination of activities - influence the R&D performance analysis problems, such as the need for more systematic, objective, balanced and multi-dimensional approaches for R&D measure selection, as well as the incompatibility of R&D measurement systems to other corporate measurement systems and vice versa. Secondly, the above-mentioned characteristics and challenges bring forth the significance of the influencing factors and dimensions that need to be recognized in order to derive the selection criteria for measures and choose the right R&D metrics, which is the most crucial step in the measurement system development process. The main purpose of this study is to support the management and control of the research and development activities of organizations by increasing the understanding of R&D performance analysis, clarifying the main factors related to the selection of R&D measures and by providing novel types of approaches and methods for systematizing the whole strategy- and business-based selection and development process of R&D indicators.The final aim of the research is to support the management in their decision making of R&D with suitable, systematically chosen measures or evaluation methods of R&D performance. Thus, the emphasis in most sub-areas of the present research has been on the promotion of the selection and development process of R&D indicators with the help of the different tools and decision support systems, i.e. the research has normative features through providing guidelines by novel types of approaches. The gathering of data and conducting case studies in metal and electronic industry companies, in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector, and in non-profit organizations helped us to formulate a comprehensive picture of the main challenges of R&D performance analysis in different organizations, which is essential, as recognition of the most importantproblem areas is a very crucial element in the constructive research approach utilized in this study. Multiple practical benefits regarding the defined problemareas could be found in the various constructed approaches presented in this dissertation: 1) the selection of R&D measures became more systematic when compared to the empirical analysis, as it was common that there were no systematic approaches utilized in the studied organizations earlier; 2) the evaluation methods or measures of R&D chosen with the help of the developed approaches can be more directly utilized in the decision-making, because of the thorough consideration of the purpose of measurement, as well as other dimensions of measurement; 3) more balance to the set of R&D measures was desired and gained throughthe holistic approaches to the selection processes; and 4) more objectivity wasgained through organizing the selection processes, as the earlier systems were considered subjective in many organizations. Scientifically, this dissertation aims to make a contribution to the present body of knowledge of R&D performance analysis by facilitating dealing with the versatility and challenges of R&D performance analysis, as well as the factors and dimensions influencing the selection of R&D performance measures, and by integrating these aspects to the developed novel types of approaches, methods and tools in the selection processes of R&D measures, applied in real-world organizations. In the whole research, facilitation of dealing with the versatility and challenges in R&D performance analysis, as well as the factors and dimensions influencing the R&D performance measure selection are strongly integrated with the constructed approaches. Thus, the research meets the above-mentioned purposes and objectives of the dissertation from the scientific as well as from the practical point of view.

Introduction: The importance of health promotion and prevention and the potential of general practitioners (GPs) to conduct individual prevention procedures have been demonstrated in several studies. Clinical recommendations for screening and prevention activities, an important condition for success, are published regularly, but their implementation into daily practice does not necessarily follow. Information is lacking about the actual conditions of how prevention is carried out on a daily basis by Swiss GPs, about their perceptions and needs, their attitudes and the present barriers they face. Such information is essential for the development of new tools and programs targeting better implementation of clinical recommendations for prevention in primary care in Switzerland. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to analyze how Swiss GPs perceive their role in prevention by obtaining information regarding the following issues: What do disease prevention and health promotion mean to them? What are the current incentives and barriers they face? What are their ideas and suggestions to deal with these barriers? What are their needs and expectations regarding prevention guidelines and tools? Methods: We conducted a qualitative research project using focus groups to examine the questions mentioned above. A total of 13 focus groups took place including GPs from eight cantons: five groups in German- speaking Switzerland and eight in French- speaking Switzerland. Each group was composed of 4-11 GPs, making in total 102 participants, who were paid expenses to cover their participation. The sessions were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis: Content analysis of the transcriptions began by classifying the data according to a typology, the first level of which was developed in line with the structure of the interview guide. This typology was extended by successively regrouping similar statements. Synopsis and interpretation was then performed on each category thus obtained. This research report is based on the results from the French-speaking cantons. Results: Physicians perceive a change in their role as a consequence of changes in society and the health system. They emphasize the importance of a personalized and long lasting relationship between the family doctor and his/her patient; a privileged position allowing them to perform individualized prevention activities, considered to be more effective, as they are appropriate to the specific situation and needs of the patient. They point out their need for training and for better information concerning prevention and health promotion interventions, and stress difficulties arising from the lack of a clear political signal conferring them with a mandate for prevention. -- INTRODUCTION L'importance de la prévention et de la promotion de la santé et le potentiel des médecins de famillea à mettre en oeuvre des mesures individuelles de prévention, de dépistage et de conseils, a été démontrée dans plusieurs études. Régulièrement durant les dernières années, de nombreuses associations médicales ont publié des recommandations cliniques concernant les activités de dépistage et de prévention qui sont une condition essentielle pour le succès, mais ne sont pas forcément appliquées de manière systématique dans la pratique médicale quotidienne. Des contraintes spécifiques contribuent à l'écart entre le désir des médecins de pratiquer une médecine préventive et la réalité d'un cabinet médical. Nous n'avons que peu de données sur les conditions actuelles dans lesquelles la prévention et la promotion de la santé sont réalisées par les médecins de famille suisses dans leur travail quotidien. Des informations précises et représentatives sur leurs perceptions et leurs besoins, leurs attitudes et les contraintes auxquelles ils sont confrontés manquent. Or ces données sont essentielles dans le développement de nouveaux outils et programmes visant une meilleure implémentation des recommandations cliniques dans le domaine de la prévention et la promotion de la santé dans la médecine de famille en Suisse. OBJECTIFS Le développement de concepts pour une prévention systématique ainsi que d'outils adéquats, tout comme l'amélioration des conditions qui permettent une implémentation à grande échelle, implique, avant tout, l'analyse de la perception que les médecins de famille suisses ont de leur rôle dans la prévention. Par conséquent, cette étude a eu pour objectif d'obtenir des informations concernant les questions suivantes : ? Que signifient la prévention et la promotion de la santé pour les médecins de famille suisses ? ? Quelles sont leurs incitations et les barrières rencontrées ? ? Quelles sont leurs idées et leurs suggestions pour faire face à ces contraintes ? ? Quels sont leurs besoins et leurs attentes concernant les outils pour la prévention ? METHODES Nous avons mené un projet de recherche qualitative en utilisant la technique des focus groups pour examiner les questions mentionnées ci-dessus. Une telle technique de collecte de données est particulièrement adaptée à un domaine où l'on connaît mal les perceptions des parties prenantes. Nous avons mené 13 focus groups au total, comprenant des médecins issus de huit cantons: cinq groupes ont eu lieu en Suisse alémanique et huit groupes en Suisse romande. Chaque groupe était composé de 4 à 11 médecins de famille, avec au total 102 participants qui ont été défrayés pour leur participation. Les séances ont été audio-enregistrées et transcrites. ANALYSE DES DONNEES L'analyse du contenu des transcriptions a commencé par la classification des données selon une typologie dont le premier niveau a été développé à partir de la structure de la grille d'entretiens. Cette typologie a été affinée et élargie en regroupant successivement des propos similaires. Une synthèse a été effectuée pour chaque catégorie. Ce rapport est basé sur les résultats de l'analyse des données des cantons francophones. RESULTATS Les médecins perçoivent un changement de leur rôle dans une société et dans un système de santé qui évoluent. Ils soulignent l'importance de la relation personnalisée et durable du médecin de famille avec son patient, atout précieux, qui leur permet de réaliser des activités de prévention individualisées et adaptées à la situation et aux besoins du patient, considérées plus efficaces. Afin de surmonter leur doutes et découragement par rapport aux interventions de prévention, ils pointent la nécessité d'une formation aux nouvelles connaissances en prévention et promotion de la santé et d'une meilleure information aux médecins quant à leur efficacité et importance. Ils montrent le besoin d'un signal clair des politiques par rapport à l'attribution de ce mandat aux médecins de famille et de leur reconnaissance en tant qu'acteur de prévention dans le système de santé.
