Hinnoittelukyvykkyys lämpöyrittäjätoimialalla

2017

Lämpöyrittäjät ovat pienyrittäjiä, jotka huolehtivat lämpöenergian tuottamisesta ja toimittamisesta asiakkaalle tyypillisesti polttamalla paikallista metsäbiomassaa lämpölaitoksessa. Lämpömarkkinoilla asiakassuhteet ovat yleensä pitkäikäisiä ja hinnat sovitaan pitkälle tulevaisuuteen ulottuville lämmöntoimituksille. Hinnoittelu on haastava toiminto, joka kytkeytyy niin yrityksen sisäisiin tekijöihin, markkinointimixissä tehtäviin päätöksiin kuin ulkoisen toimintaympäristön seikkoihin. Hinnoittelukyvykkyyden omaaminen voisi auttaa lämpöyrittäjiä onnistumaan hinnoittelussa. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena olikin tunnistaa, mistä tekijöistä keskisuomalaisten lämpöyrittäjien hinnoittelukyvykkyys …

Välineellinen järki Jyväskylän yliopiston opettajankoulutuslaitoksen piilo-opetussuunnitelmassa

2015

Suojanen, Lauri. VÄLINEELLINEN JÄRKI JYVÄSKYLÄN YLIOPISTON OPETTAJANKOULUTUKSEN (PIILO-)OPETUSSUUNNITELMASSA. Opettajankoulutuslaitoksen Pro gradu -tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopiston opettajankoulutuslaitos, 2015. 111 sivua. Julkaisematon Tutkielmassani tarkasteltiin opettajankoulutuksen mahdollisia institutionaalisia puutteita opintonsa keskeyttäneiden tai pääaineensa vaihtaneiden näkökulmasta. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla opettajankoulutuksen opiskelijajoukon oletettua kriittisempää joukkoa, koulutuksessa opiskelunsa jo syystä tai toisesta lopettaneita henkilöitä. Haastattelut toteutettiin neljän henkilön syvällisenä teemahaastatteluna. Pyrkimyksenä oli saada esille mahdollis…

A planetary well-being accounting system for organizations

2024

Transformative changes in the operations of humankind are needed to support the transition towards planetary well-being. We humans organize our everyday lives through organizations. We argue that to understand the role of organizations and to facilitate the transition towards planetary well-being, we need a value-transforming integration of financial and environmental accounting and reporting. We find such integration critical to ensuring that the senior executives of organizations pay attention, and to ensuring that environmental impacts begin to influence the management decisions of the organizations. In this chapter we discuss how and why environmental accounting can and should be integr…

Ontological differences and the pursuit of planetary well-being

2024

This chapter emphasizes the importance of ontological dialogue and methodological choices to the conceptual development and practical enactment of planetary well-being. Starting from the premise that cultural practices, including scientific concepts and methods, shape realities, the chapter suggests approaching nature and culture as entangled with each other. From this perspective, this chapter deals with divergent biocultural realities rather than a single, universal Nature viewed from multiple cultural perspectives. Biocultural realities differ in terms of how well they enable more-than-human communities to regenerate themselves. The chapter proposes anthropologist Anna Tsing’s conceptual…

Planetary well-being

2024

Tensions between the well-being of present humans, future humans, and nonhuman nature manifest in social protests and political and academic debates over the future of Earth. The increasing consumption of natural resources no longer increases, let alone equalizes, human well-being, but has led to the current ecological crisis and harms both human and nonhuman well-being. While the crisis has been acknowledged, the existing conceptual frameworks are in some respects ill-equipped to address the crisis in a way that would link the resolving of the crisis with the pivotal aim of promoting equal well-being. The shortcomings of the existing concepts in this respect relate to anthropocentric norma…

Planetary well-being : Ontology and ethics

2024

This chapter elaborates the ontological and ethical underpinnings and implications of the concept of planetary well-being. We illustrate how planetary well-being can contribute conceptually to transformative thinking and discussing well-being, and to organizing human societies in more life-considerate ways. The chapter focuses on two themes: First, the ontological grounding and implications of planetary well-being, and second, the central ethical underpinnings and ramifications of planetary well-being. We demonstrate how planetary well-being is positioned in the broader ontological and ethical-theoretical landscape, owing to its process-oriented perspective and morally inclusive (non-anthro…

Soil processes are constituents of planetary well-being

2024

Soils play multiple roles in vital ecosystem processes, even though they form only a thin layer between Earth’s atmosphere and lithosphere. Soils are reservoirs of carbon, most nutrients and fresh water while acting as a substrate for plants, a site for decomposition processes, and a sink for harmful substances. The decomposition of dead organic matter and the associated recycling of nutrients are a prerequisite for photosynthesis by green plants and, therefore, for all life forms on Earth. Without healthy soils, the integrity of the Earth system cannot be maintained in the future. Soils are highly diverse habitats, inhabited by both structurally and functionally diversified organisms. Howe…

Ecosystem health and planetary well-being

2024

Healthy ecosystems support the well-being of all organisms on Earth. Yet, the overexploitation of natural resources for human needs and profit has resulted in widespread ecosystem degradation, loss of biodiversity, and climate emergency, which pose fundamental threats to planetary well-being. Impoverished ecosystems may become dysfunctional and fail to provide for the needs of many organisms, including humans and wildlife. Changes in ecosystem functioning and wildlife distributions affect the prevalence and spread of pathogens, with consequences for the health and well-being of human and wildlife communities alike. Increasing contact between humans and domestic and wild animals enable patho…

Extinction risk indices for measuring and promoting planetary well-being

2024

The concept of planetary well-being, which stresses the persistence of lineages in ecosystems, is intimately linked to species extinction risk. Avoiding extinctions is a moral issue, as wiping out the outcomes of eons of evolutionary history and their future potential is clearly unconscionable. The concept of planetary well-being is also systemic: It is understood that species, as integral parts of ecosystems, are vital for the well-being of all systems on Earth. Yet, despite international agreements to protect biodiversity, global biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation has continued unimpeded over the past decades. We review the role of goals and targets in the UN Convention on Biolog…
