The Consumer Co-operative Sector
Globally, consumer co-operation has experienced a difficult period since the 1970s. Large scale failures in France, Germany and Austria were accompanied by loss of market share in the UK (including the failure of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society and its takeover by its English counterpart). Even in the Nordic countries, where consumer co-operation has always been more robust, new challenges from the non-co-operative sector had to be confronted. How did co-operative organizations in different countries cope with these challenges? What were the processes of strategic renewal that they undertook? How successful were they? These are the key questions that the collection will address, culminating in an analysis by the editors of the effectiveness of strategic renewal in the co-operative sector. This book is a study of strategic renewal in the consumer co-operative sector, using eleven international case-studies to demonstrate how the concept has been applied over the last fifty years.
Strangers in a Stranger Land
What did it feel like to be an openly Jewish soldier fighting alongside German troops in WWII? Could a Jewish nurse work safely in a field hospital operating theater under the supervision of German army doctors? Several hundred members of Finland’s tiny Jewish community found themselves in absurd situations like this, yet not a single one was harmed by the Germans or deported to concentration or extermination camps. In fact, Finland was the only European country fighting on either side in WWII that lost not a single Jewish citizen to the Nazi’s “Final Solution.” Strangers in a Stranger Land explores the unique dilemma of Finland’s Jews in the form of a meticulously researched novel...

Covid-19 has brought so much uncertainty, but one certainty is that the vaccine race will generate winners and losers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This will have a major impact on merger and acquisition activity.

Avattu ikkuna Paavo Väyrysen salassa pysyneeseen maailmaan Alaston totuus Paavo Väyrysestä ja hänen poliittisesta urastaan 1970- ja 1980-luvun Suomessa. Väyrysen valtakunta on armoton ja armahtava kuvaus ikuisesta vallanhalusta ja -himosta, pelinpolitiikasta, salaisista sopimuksista, pimeästä vaalirahoituksesta, maan tavasta, hyvä veli -verkostosta, median kaksinaamaisuudesta ja ulkopolitiikan Neuvostoliitto-kortista.Kirjan luettuaan ymmärtää, että aikakautensa sensaatiouutiset – jalasmökki- ja päivärahakiista, Vladimirov-kirje ja maanpetosväite, lentoemäntien nipistelyt, kassakaappisopimus ja vaalirahoitus – olivat vain sokerikuorrutus hillomunkin päällä.

Co-Operative Enterprise in Comparative Perspective
A rigorous comparative-historical analysis of how co-operative enterprises in different national contexts, this book deploys two different variants of the new institutionalism.

Väyrysen ja Kääriäisen korkean profiilin aika 1981‒1991
The Centre Party of Finland was represented in almost all cabinets for decades, and it often held the post of prime minister during the reign of President Urho Kekkonen. When Kekkonen’s deteriorating health forced him to resign in 1981, the Centre Party, formerly the Agrarian Union, was in front of the crisis. The party was deeply divided along the lines of who would be the best candidate to succeed Kekkonen. The schism had prevailed for years, and contemporaries suspected the party would split up or at least lose its dominant position in Finnish politics. Besides, the numbers of core supporters making up the party, agrarians, were constantly diminishing. In addition, the Finnish party sys...
