Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trade and Industry of Finland Keen and systematic propaganda has been deemed desirable in order to consolidate and extend the commercial relations between Finland and the English-speaking countries, especially Great Britain, the United States and South America, and the present work is intended to form one link in the chain of that propaganda. The work was planned shortly after the Finnish Declaration of Independence, and immediately after the return of the Finnish Trade Commission which visited England, the United States and other countries in the year 1919). The Commission found that one of the most important means to the formation of lasting trade relations between Finland and those countries would be the dissemination of knowledge of our economic conditions, our industries, what we can offer for export and what we need to import. The idea of publishing a work of reference like the present hook at once received the hearty support of the chairman of the Trade Commission, Mr. Jacob von Julin, and of Mr. Axel Solitander, then chief director of the Board of Trade and Industry, and afterwards Finnish Consul-General in New York. As the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a number of the most eminent business men in the country also showed an interest in the matter, it was resolved to compile a publication which should contain accurate and quite objective descriptions of the largest and most vitally important economic undertakings in Finland, such as banks, manufacturing establishments, commercial firms, etc. The publishers are well aware that a work of this kind cannot hope to he wholly free from omissions and errors. They have, however, desired to make it as complete as possible, and have spared no pains to secure full and exact information. In a few cases changes of management and organisation have taken place while the book was going through the press, when it was too late for alterations to be made. There are also a few firms of some importance which have not been sufficiently interested to associate themselves with the scheme, but generally speaking, the work is so complete within the lines marked out for it, and the omissions are so insignificant that it may be regarded as a reliable guide to the banks, insurance companies, manufacturers, commercial firms and shipowners of Finland. The main part of the work, the business section, has been edited by Mr. F. Tiderman. secretary of the Helsingfors Stock Exchange.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Finnish economy is a victory over hardship, a success story with few equivalents. During the period 1860-2000 the gross domestic product grew 21-fold, while EU nations on average achieved 11-fold growth. Today, Finland is known for its competitiveness, high educational standards, negligible corruption, expertise in creating and using high technology, and successful companies, most notably Nokia. This book tells how Finland astonishingly evolved from an internationally insignificant agrarian economy to the affluent, knowledge-based, welfare society that it is now. The Road to Prosperity: An Economic History of Finland offers an overview of several centuries of economic progress -- with a keen eye on negative effects of growth. The articles in this beautifully illustrated work contain long-term analyses of business, foreign trade, agriculture, and employment. In addition, there is coverage of the development of banking, the public sector, income distribution, the advance of the information society, and welfare. And the Finnish story is woven seamlessly into the tapestry of international economics. The contributors are prominent scholars of Finnish economic history and economics; the foreword being a product of distinguished American economic historian Joel Mokyr, winner of the Heineken Prize for History 2006.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finland is known for its consistent progress in the economy and competitiveness, as well as the egalitarian society underneath it. Yet, the challenges experienced by Finland in the beginning of the 20th century were similar to those experienced by many countries today. Finland emerged as an independent nation in the midst of international economic and political turbulence. In spite of its remoteness, relative scarcity of natural resources, smallness of the home market and recent history characterized by wars and social cleavages, Finland transformed itself from an agriculture-based economy in the 1950’s into one of the leading innovation-driven, knowledge-based economies and high-tech producers in the twenty-first century. The development was rapid, and involved determined action and sometimes drastic decisions by the government and other key actors. Today, at the end of 2013, Finland is facing new types of challenges both domestically and internationally in efforts to maintain its societal sustainability and economic competitiveness. Finland Knowledge Economy 2.0 presents some of the key policies, elements, initiatives and decisions behind Finland’s path into the Knowledge Economy of today. The authors hope to provide the readers inspiration, new ideas, and novel insights. Hopefully some of the lessons learned may prove valuable in another context. Based on this account of the development of Finnish Knowledge Economy, the authors have identified six areas of lessons, each described in detail in respective chapters. The book should not be seen as a scientific all encompassing study, but rather as a “Knowledge Economy cook-book”, with practical cases, links and insights provided for further exploration.

This book was released on 2007-01-23 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,0, University of Münster (Political Science), course: European Economic Policies, language: English, abstract: Throughout the course of the 1990s, Finland underwent a tremendous economic transformation unrivaled by any other European or OECD country in the post-World War II era. In less than a decade Finland went from being perhaps one of the least knowledge-based economies to becoming the sole most embraced one, subsequently heralding it to be a model example of not only Europe’s but the world’s ‘new economy’. During the twentieth-first century, Finland has three times to date ranked number one in the World’s Economic Forum’s (WEF) Competitiveness Index, alongside achieving an astonishing close second to Sweden in the World Bank’s Knowledge Economic Index (KEI). On these grounds, Finland’s recent development towards a knowledge-based economy has indeed captured the international spotlight, and justly the attention of economic policy-makers across the world. To this day in age, knowledge has irrefutably become the driving force behind economic growth and social development, with exogenous factors particularly that of globalization playing enormous roles in the acceleration of the diffusion and the application of knowledge. Perhaps, not better put then in the trivial words of Bill Clinton “in today’s knowledge-based economy, what you earn depends on what you learn,”5such words do certainly substantiate the importance of knowledge and innovation in today’s ‘new economy’. Thus is seems, successful economies and societies will be those who can adapt to the rapid demands of globalization, where the need of countries to be more flexible, creative, innovative, and welcoming to the winds of change, have been more critical than it has ever been before. Advancement in information and communication technologies (ICTs) has often been seen as one method of achieving a more knowledge-based economy, as development in ICTs seem to provide new opportunities in product specialization, improved productivity, and sustainable growth.
