Kursen ger en introduktion till nationalekonomins centrala begrepp och analysverktyg. Du får lära dig hur ekonomiska modeller kan användas för att förstå och analysera vardagliga beslut – som hushållens konsumtion och företagens investeringar – liksom större samhällsfrågor som arbetslöshet, inflation och global tillväxt. Genom konkreta exempel och tillämpningar utvecklar du en förståelse för hur ekonomin fungerar och hur ekonomisk teori kan bidra till att lösa aktuella samhällsutmaningar.

In this course, your will learn how to apply economic theory to global challenges: the climate and the environment, globalisation and conflict, politics and democracy, and poverty and inequality.

Advanced Topics in Financial Economics explores theoretical foundations and modern developments in asset pricing and financial decision-making under uncertainty. The course provides rigorous treatment of key concepts including portfolio choice, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Arrow-Debreu pricing, and applications such as option pricing and liquidity risk. It further investigates issues of asymmetric information, agency theory, and capital structure within both complete and incomplete market settings. Emphasis is placed on analytical modeling and equilibrium analysis, drawing on microeconomic principles and optimization theory. The course is designed for students with prior exposure to intermediate microeconomics and mathematical optimization, and is particularly suited for those aiming to pursue research or advanced professional work in finance or economics.

Detta är den gemensamma Moodlesidan för kurserna 17160 för svenskspråkiga hankeiter och 17170 för övriga.

This is the combined Moodle page for the courses 17170 for non-Swedish speakers, and 17160 for Swedish speaking Hankeits.

Please read the course description carefully! It is available outside the course Moodle page. Please also attend the introductory lecture. The introductory lecture is held on Monday, 20 January 2025 at 14.15 pm. in room A304. The enrolment key will be distributed at least twice, i.e., once in the beginning of January, and another time about one week before the course starts. Please contact jan.antell@hanken.fi if you did not receive it.

Take measures to come up with a topic. Note that the topic is to be submitted already some one week after the introductory lecture. Check the data availability to the detail, as no data = no thesis.

In many cases, the model structure is as follows: $\mathit{Y} = \alpha + \mathrm{\beta}_1 \mathit{Variable} + \mathbf{\gamma}' \mathbf{Controls} + \epsilon,$ where $\mathit{Variable}$ is a variable of interest, and $\mathbf{Controls}$ is a vector of control variables. When considering a topic, think of which variables that should be variables of specific interest, and which are control variables, i.e., variables known or expected to have an association with the phenomenon under study, but that are not of special interest. You need data both for variables of interest and for control variables.

This course offers students practical opportunities to apply their knowledge regarding enablers and inhibitors of entrepreneurial and innovative efforts in large firms. The lessons learned from actual stories of disruptive innovation cases of firms in Finland, Sweden and Denmark will be at the center of the course. The firms this year are Neste, Helsingin Sanomat, Remeo, Ponsse, Vaisala, Posti, and Orion . The Learning Objectives is the knowledge identifying the originators of innovation; their common conception and its evolution; the circumstances in which they pursue their long-term venture; barriers. The Internal Venture Capital and the CTO knowledge are proposed as remedies to waste of time in innovation stories. The Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition knowledge is presented as a backdoor, way out for an entrepreneurial individual in the corporation.

‘The presumption that managerial activity exists independently from the activities of managers leads to a grouping of all kinds of disparate activities under the heading of management. In that case, rather than electing a democratic rescue of management (as a general human attribute) from colonization by a named group of people (managers), critics would be in danger of endorsing the colonization of all human activities by casting them in terms of management. Whereas the demise of management might suggest that `we are all managers now', the critical response should not be that `we always were'. Instead the response to the demise of the special status of management should be that notions of management are now to be regarded as redundant. This then opens up the space for the construction of forms of subjectivity which are not conceived in terms of the discourse of management and manageability, rather than closing down the space in which such alternatives might exist. To put these points rather differently, I am suggesting that visions of a `post- managerial' future need to be handled with considerable caution. They appeal to critical writers because they appear to address the unjustifiable separation of management as a special activity. The restoration of management to `everyone' seems to be democratic in that it disperses influence and power. But the crucial issue is the terms on which this occurs. The demise of management does not imply an end to the co-ordination and control of human activities: rather, it installs this co-ordination and control in an ever-wider set of activities. As noted earlier, it is in this sense that the demise of management is fully compatible with the ascendancy of managerialism. By drawing the many rather than the few into management, managerial power - if not the power of managers - is extended rather than diminished.’

(Grey, C. (1999). “We Are All Managers Now”; ’We Always Were’: On the Development and Demise of Management. Journal of Management Studies, 36, 561–585.)

Course description

Introduction to Management is a bachelor-level course, which introduces students to the fascinating world of management in the context of modern organizing. The course aims to develop capabilities for independent thinking about management as a phenomenon ultimately concerned with a particular relationship to the human subject at work. This is achieved through a course structure that recognizes the cultural-historical specificity of management in modern Anglo-Saxon and European cultures. The course content is organized along three thematics. The first theme locates the emergence of management within the historical context of modern and industrial capitalism. Students will be introduced to three lines of critique of early industrial society and its particular modes of organization. This includes the analytical categories of anomie, alienation, rationalization and the objects of division of labour, the labour process, work ethic and bureaucratic organization. A second theme allows students to engage in managerial ideas and practices in terms of their origins, intentionalities, development and effects in the course of the 20th century. This includes scientific management, human relations and organizational psychology, systems theory, the management of culture and Human Resources. A third and final theme considers the technological horizon of possibility and discusses the self and subjectivity in contemporary organization as well as imaginations of future modes of managing. The latter includes themes of self-management, and issues about self-work, privacy and surveillance at work.

The course is guided by the conviction of a learning experience where students are treated as ‘young adults’ whose independent thinking in the world of management and organization studies can be cultivated through a collaborative mode of learning, akin to that in other parts of the social sciences and humanities, where problematizing of the object of study is considered germane. As such the course aims at sophistication rather than simplification (or ‘dumbing down’) and problematizing rather than prescribing thinking and analysis of the thought-world of management.

Learning Goals

Upon the successful completion of the course students should be able to:

• have a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of management and the particular organisational modes it relates to.
• comprehend the historical conditions for the emergence of management thought and practices
• analytically apply key sociological concepts in examining modern capitalism and its management
• consider the continuities and sustained relevance of the critical thought of key thinkers about early modern capitalist society
• identify the conditions of possibility for key managerial practices
• recognize several of the social scientific sources that underpin the heterogenous character of thinking that make up management
• analyse critically the management of work in organisations
• analyse the particular point of view and assumptions inherent in managerial thought and the production of the human subject at work in the course of the 20th century and beyond

International Learning Experience

The course examines management as an international phenomena in trans-atlantic cultures. The course examines International cases and examples analyzed and discussed in the readings. The course emphasizes the strong international academic understanding of examined phenomena.

Literature and Course Material

Required course readings include journal articles and book chapters, to be announced in course description, lectures and through Moodle. Additional course literature may be provided during the course.

Learning activities

The course is delivered through (online) lectures and seminars. It requires independent study and collaborative work. Two workshops are held on site (one in Vaasa and one in Helsinki)

COURSE INTRODUCTION 27.10 at 10.15 in aud 307

Note also the mandatory online module to be completed at your own pace, during the first two weeks of the course (see information below).

The course is based on blended learning, meaning an online module completed individually and mandatary sessions in class (not streamed/recorded). The mandatory attendance can be compensated with a reading assignment.

The firm’s capability to build strong, customer driven relationships is critical for success in business landscapes characterized by service competition. The ability of the firm to adopt, implement and employ a genuine service based perspective is key in this respect. An in-depth understanding of value creation and a learning based organizational culture open up new opportunities for marketing in firms defining themselves as service and customer driven businesses. This course provides an in-depth understanding of models and concepts related to customer logic, value creation, learning and business models. We will also explore the changing role of the actors in the market context and the implications of this. The course is based on learning in an interactive and constructive environment focusing on analysis and discussion of the course themes. The ability of the students to reflect and to stretch their mindsets will be enhanced.

Part of the work in the course Customer-driven Service Strategy (23105) is an online module Principles of Service management on the Digicampus platform (www.digicampus.fi). The purpose of this module is to get an overall understanding of the key theories in service and customer strategy based on Grönroos (2015). The online module is mandatory and completion is a prerequisite for course participation. The deadline of completing the course is November 9 (23.59).

Language courses to support thesis writing
📘 For students writing their thesis in English:
These courses are designed to enhance your academic writing proficiency and are particularly beneficial during the thesis writing process.
Register for courses taught during the fall by August 24th.
You may choose either of the following courses (note: these two are mutually exclusive):
• 5171 Upscaling Your Academic Writing (taught in P1-P2 & P3-P4)
• 5160 Academic Writing (taught in P1-P2 & P3-P4)

Kursen är en självstudiekurs där du rapporterar skriftligen efter din för ditt huvudämne relevanta arbetspraktik. Du kan välja att avlägga praktikkursen som antingen 5 sp eller 10 sp i Finland eller utomlands. För 5 sp behövs minst 8 arbetsveckor heltidsarbete och för 10 sp krävs minst 16 arbetsveckor (eller deltidsarbete som motsvarar mängden heltidsarbete). Praktiken kan avläggas under en eller flera perioder och på en eller flera arbetsplatser.

För mer information, se Moodle.

The course is a self-study course in which you write a report of your – for your major relevant – internship or paid work experience. You can choose to complete the internship course as either 5 credits or 10 credits in Finland or abroad. For 5 credits you need at least 8 weeks of full time work and for 10 credits at least 16 weeks of full time work, or part time work equivalent to these amounts. You can complete the internship in one or many parts and in one or many work places.

For more information, see Moodle.

“Think global, act local” is an often-heard statement. But how can you act local if you are not aware of the local culture, how it affects consumer behaviour, how to adapt to and be respectful of local contexts? In this course, you will learn about international diversity in consumer behaviour and marketing management, and you will learn to analyse various contexts in which this understanding is helpful.

This is a self-study course which means that the student takes full responsibility for reading the instructions given, finding the assigned literature, following through on assignments and performing the digital exam. The role of the course teacher is not to give personal guidance to the student. The course requires previous knowledge of basics in marketing and skills to work independently on different tasks.

As a self-learning course, the course tests your ability to think about and reflect on your learning, to set your own deadlines and goals, and to be motivated to learn by self-studying.

Syftet med kursen är att du producerar en godkänd kandidatavhandling av vetenskapligt och språkligt god kvalitet. Du tränar och utvecklar en förmåga att analysera och lösa problem inom ämnesområdet samt producerar ett skriftligt vetenskapligt arbete. Meningen är också att kursen skall träna din skriftliga och muntliga presentation och argumentation.

Kandidatavhandlingen skrivs på svenska och kräver godkänt mognadsprov. I regel skall mognadsprovet genomgå både sak- och språkgranskning. Kursen Vetenskapligt skrivande på kandidatnivån (5628) rekommenderas starkt att tas parallellt med Kandidatavhandlingen.

This is the course information page for "26087 Corporate Finance and Labor Markets," to be held in November 2025 at Hanken in Helsinki (the course is also scheduled to be held in 2026). This course explores the relationship between corporate financial decisions and labor markets, integrating insights from corporate finance and labor economics. It is structured around five modules:

- Module 1: Mergers and acquisitions.
- Module 2: Corporate ownership forms (family firms, private equity, state-owned, etc.).
- Module 3: Firm investments in new technologies.
- Module 4: Capital structure and bankruptcy.
- Module 5: Booms and busts.

Designed for advanced master’s and PhD students in economics or finance, this course is particularly relevant for those interested in corporate strategy, labor markets, and financial decision-making. It provides essential analytical tools for students pursuing careers in finance, consulting, policy analysis, or academia, helping them understand how corporate policies interact with labor markets. It also offers valuable insights for students seeking a deeper understanding of how firms’ financial decisions impact their own careers and wages.

A strong emphasis is placed on academic research, equipping students with the skills to critically engage with empirical journal articles in corporate finance and labor economics. The course thus serves as a solid foundation for empirical thesis work at both the MSc and PhD levels.

Kursen introducerar grundläggande makroekonomisk teori på kort, medellång och lång sikt. Fokus ligger på målen och verktygen inom den etablerade makroekonomiska politiken samt analys av aktuella politiska beslut och deras ekonomiska konsekvenser. Kursen behandlar även utmaningar inom valutaunioner, såsom obalanser i utrikeshandeln och skillnader i konkurrenskraft mellan medlemsländer.

Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize the employment of technology. Quantum computers are no longer far away in the future - the new era has already begun! We have possibly achieved quantum advantage recently and the most interesting applications are around the corner.

Foreshadowing the quantum wake-up on the legal arena, this course covers a novel approach on quantum computing to law. The aim is to give a general overview of the quantum technology within the framework of law, economics, and society.

The focus will be on commercial applications employing quantum computing, such as pharmaceuticals, materials discovery, banking and finance, intellectual property rights, advanced manufacturing, and contracting. We will further discuss the application to climate change (ESG strategies), security, and defense, as well as contracting and quantum natural language processing within legal design.

It is intended to understand the quantum impact on the application and practice of law and the working of societies - both on the national and international level. Consequently, quantum progress brings up several open legal and ethical questions that call for discussion.

Scientific Framework:
The theory and substance part will involve reading and discussing scholarship from legal and economic science on quantum computing. Further, legal design framework of applications and implications of quantum computing to law, economics and society will be analyzed.

We will cover, among others, concepts of:
1. Quantum Computing in a Nutshell: From Bits to Qubits
2. Applications and Implications of Quantum Computing to Law, Economics and Society
A. Pharmaceuticals Discoveries
B. IPR and Materials Discovery Process
C. Banking and Finance
D. Cybersecurity and Quantum-Safe Encryption
E. Security and Defense
F. Advanced Manufacturing
G. Climate Change

II. Quantum Computing in the Legal Design Framework

• You will acquire knowledge of general terminology and principles of quantum computing.
• During the lessons, you will learn how quantum computing can improve business operations and what effects we expect to see in different business sectors.
• You will learn how quantum is anticipated to affect the legal arena and what anticipatory measures can be taken.

On this course, we will study many issues relating to climate change and electricity through the lens of commercial law.

This course introduces principles and practices that facilitate responsible and sustainable supply chain strategies and operations. To achieve a sustainable supply chain, a company has to address environmental, social, economic and legal concerns across its entire supply chain. A fully sustainable supply chain is one that ensures socially responsible business practices.

Indicative content includes but is not limited to a brief overview of corporate strategy and SCM; concepts of sustainability in general and pertaining to SCM; sustainable and responsible procurement, circular economy and closed-loop supply chains; transportation; social issues in the supply chain.

The course has a pre-assignment that is published in Moodle. The first lecture is mandatory

In this course, you will learn what the circular economy means and why it is needed. In addition, you will acquire a deeper appreciation of the importance and opportunities of the circular economy through four different subject areas and, at the same time, gain a comprehensive picture of the practical applications of the circular economy. As multidisciplinarity, shared expertise, and systems thinking are strongly linked to the circular economy, the course is constructed considering these perspectives. After completing the course, you will be able to understand the problems of today’s consumption of resources and how the circular economy can help in resolving these problems, become familiar with approaches that could promote the circular economy, and create a vision of practical activities that different sectors could undertake to promote the circular economy.

The course has two parts: 1) The Circular.now is an online course on the MOOC platform, and you can take the course in your own pace. 2) Individual assignment

Climate.now is a module for learning and teaching the basics of climate change. It has been created to provide a 5 ECTS course in higher education. Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, the material can be used in different fields, as well as for training purposes in organisations or companies. Climate change is a multidimensional topic with a number of cross-disciplinary challenges. The content and learning outcomes of the Climate.now are based on the understanding of:
1. climate change as a scientific phenomenon,
2. how it can be prevented (mitigation), and
3. how adaptation is possible.
In addition to providing the basic knowledge, another equally important goal is to reinforce the student’s understanding of climate change as a deep human and societal challenge and to give everyone the means to participate in resolving it.
