2 Marketing education and research at the University of Oulu
Business School
Oulu Business School at the University of Oulu is an international research and educational
institute for economic sciences. Oulu Business School is accredited by AACSB
International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), the premier
accreditation body for business schools worldwide. With some 1400 students and 100 staff
members, Oulu Business School is solely responsible for the University level Business
Education in the whole of Northern Finland.
The Department of Marketing educates marketing professionals for international and
domestic businesses and public organizations. The education is based on world‐class
research especially in the areas of industrial business relationships, digital economy and
logistics/supply chain management. The areas are studied from an international viewpoint,
assuring academic rigor and managerial relevance while covering changes in business
environment – such as globalization, digitalization, and co‐creation of value. A marketing
graduate is qualified for managerial and expert positions, with typical duties including
product management, customer relationship management and marketing communications.
Since the first marketing students were admitted in 1991 the Department of Marketing has
grown rapidly. We work in close cooperation with the business community, and combine
theory and practice both in teaching and research with an innovative approach. The
Department is active participant in the global academic network providing great
opportunities for international exchange periods and even the double degree arrangement
with the University of North Carolina. Erasmus scholarships allow students to visit
European universities as exchange students.
The research is carried out in close cooperation with the business community and public
organizations. Active collaboration with national and international academic partners is
fostered in research projects, many of which are supported by external funding
organizations such as the Academy of Finland and Tekes (the Finnish Funding Agency for
Innovation). The goal is to produce high-level academic research of international standards
that is published in refereed international journals.
3 Review of the year 2015
The main focus at the Oulu Business School in 2015 was the implementation of the new
teaching programs – the general Bachelor’s Program and the five discipline-based Master’s
Programs. After the start in the fall 2014, the work with the new programs involved a lot of
practical issues related to new program structures, individual courses, updating of students’
study plans, etc. The faculty and staff at the Business School and at the Departments have
done a great work in getting the new programs up and running – an accomplishment for
which also the Marketing Department’s faculty deserve to be thanked.
Following the program reform, also the marketing program experienced a major change in
2015. In the spring of 2015, an international intake of students was administered and a
group of international students started their studies in the fall period 2015. Although this
first group of international degree students is not very big, the change of attitude in
teaching and interaction is significant. Hopefully, this change will also result in a increasing
global mindset of the students in the marketing program, and stronger capabilities to work
in multinational and multicultural settings.
The research activity of the Marketing Department remained strong in 2015. There were
17 refereed articles in international journals, a number of conference papers and other
academic publications, and two doctoral theses published by the Department’s faculty in
2015. Much of the research is carried out in externally funded research projects, notably
Tekes (the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation) projects, indicating the high business
relevance of the research that is conducted.
Among the personnel changes in 2015 two deserve to be especially mentioned. Professor
Jaana Tähtinen, who has been one of the leading researchers especially in the area of
business-to-business relationships at the Oulu Business School, moved to the University of
Turku, Pori unit. We thank Jaana for the extraordinary work she has done at the Marketing
Department of the Oulu Business School. At the same time, it is a pleasure to say that
Pauliina Ulkuniemi was appointed professor after her serving in acting professor’s position
for several years. Her research is focused on business relationships, purchasing and service
management especially in an industrial marketing context. Besides her professor’s duties,
Pauliina is currently acting as the teaching dean of the Oulu Business School.
I thank the faculty of the Department of Marketing for their commitment and dedicated
work through 2015. I also thank our academic and business partners as well as project
funding organizations for support and cooperation. I hope that this annual report gives a
good glimpse of our key activities and results in 2015.

4 TEACHING
In 2015 a total of 68 Bachelor’s Degrees and 45 Master’s Degrees were completed in
Marketing at the Oulu Business School. In addition one student completed Master’s degree
in Logistics. 42 Master’s theses in Marketing and 1 in Logistics were accepted during 2015
(see appendix for the list of thesis topics).
Teaching development team’s review of the year 2015
The teaching development team of the Marketing Department (MOKTR) focused its
activities on sustaining high quality of teaching in marketing. The group held eight meetings
during the year. The most remarkable achievements included the student feedback event All
about Marketing in September, the evaluation rubric for the verbal presentations of master’s
theses and the initiative of uniform student evaluation criteria for Oulu Business School. In
addition, MOKTR continued its work of gathering and analyzing student feedback, forming
proposals for actions and communicating these actions to the faculty and students.
The traditional welcoming event for new marketing students Marketing Mix and the student
feedback event Marketing Mashup were combined as one All About Marketing event. The
event took place on 17.9.2015 in Café Tuba where approximately 50 students and faculty
members gathered to discuss teaching-related issues in marketing at Oulu Business School
in laid-back atmosphere. To raise the turnout of the event a viral marketing campaign was
planned and implemented, including a promotional video that was filmed and presented in
OBS’s social media channels and in different settings around the campus. Business Kitchen’s
J-Bear also joined the event, with an introduction to the start-up business environment in
Oulu. Katja Ilyana’s DJ gig topped the evening off.
The Learning Café method was used to collect feedback around three themes: bachelor’s
and master’s theses, the course offering, and the guidance and support of studies. The
feedback session brought up a number of useful ideas related to marketing studies at the
Oulu Business School.
MOKTR has constantly worked on developing the student evaluation methods. In 2015 the
initiative of uniform student evaluation criteria was presented to the Oulu Business School
Education Committee and the initiative of OBS level evaluation guidelines was accepted by
the committee. An evaluation rubric for oral presentations in master’s degree programs
was also adopted for master’s theses assessments.
5 Members of the teaching development team in 2015 were: Ilkka Ojansivu (chair), Timo
Pohjosenperä, Outi Nuojua. Johanna Still and Hannu Torvinen (faculty members), with Miia
Paavola, Mikael Rahkamo, Tiina Reponen, Miina-Anniina Heiskanen and Josefiina Korhonen
(student members).
All about marketing event 17 September 2015.
Business cooperation The students are given ample opportunities to work on real-life business problems in
several courses, including the “Firm Project” course in the bachelor’s level studies and the
“Special Issues in Marketing” course in master’s level studies that can be tailored to solve
specific business problems and development issues. In the fall of 2015 Oulu Business School
launched cooperation with the Air Guitar World Championships. The cooperation sets
sights on the media attention of the event towards long-term sponsor relationships.
Students in the “Strategic Marketing Management” course participated in a case competition
with an aim to plan and develop the future of the AGWC event.
A number of visiting lecturers from different companies
and organizations have offered their insights into the
practices of marketing in our courses every year. Some
of the companies and organizations that visited our
courses in 2015 are listed below.
Among the companies and
organizations that participated
in marketing courses during
2015 were for example:
Corpi, Sonnisaari, Business Oulu,
Työmaa, Haltian, OP/Pivo, Bittium,
Optomed, Nokia Networks,
StoraEnso, Pipelife, F-Secure,
Goodwiller, Creoir, Palvelumuotoilu
Palo, CodeQ, Koodiviidakko,
Verkkoasema, Lumolink,
IndoorAtlas, SISU Interior, Aapo
Technologies, Arina, Kesko, Pörhö,
Vähälä, Ideapark, Laturi.
Most of our students also write their bachelor’s and
master’s thesis in close cooperation with companies or
public sector organizations.
Thanks to the cooperation with the business community,
the practical relevance of the studies is strengthened and
the students get a unique chance for interaction with the
companies and other stakeholder organizations.
6 RESEARCH
Research in marketing at the Oulu Business School has three focal areas. The first area is
industrial marketing, especially business-to-business relationships and value-creating
networks. The second area is digital business, with digital marketing, social media and
mobile commerce as central research themes. The third area is logistics and supply chain
management with logistics services and outsourcing as specific areas of interest. Services
and service business management is a cross-cutting theme that is explored in a multidisciplinary group, SHARP (Sensing and Shaping Service Business Relationships), selected as
one of the Martti Ahtisaari Institute’s Research Groups for the period 2013-2015.
The research is carried out in close cooperation with the business community and public
organizations. Active collaboration with national and international academic partners is
fostered in research projects, many of which get supported by external funding
organizations such as the Academy of Finland and Tekes (the Finnish Funding Agency for
Innovation). Our goal is to produce high-level academic research of international standards
that is published in refereed international journals.
Publications in 2015
A total of 17 articles in international refereed academic journals and 31 conference papers
were published by the faculty members of the Marketing Department in 2015. In addition,
several other scientific articles as well as two doctoral theses were published in 2015. A
complete list of publications by the faculty is presented in the Appendix below.
Research development team – MTETR
The Research Development Team of the Marketing Department (MTETR) has as its main
goal to develop research and doctoral education for the department. During 2015, MTETR
organized weekly research seminars and two research afternoon events. The first event
