Tämän opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten kassanhallinta ja talousohjaus tulisi suunnitella web3-pohjaisessa startup -yrityksessä, jonka liiketoimintamalli on kehitysvaiheessa. Tutkimus kohdistui case-yritykseen, jonka toiminta yhdistää kotimaisen luonnonkalan välittämiseen perustuvan kalaliiketoiminnan sekä digitaalisen toimitusketjuratkaisun kehittämisen. Tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisena kehittämistyönä, jossa aineistona hyödynnettiin yrityksen edustajien haastatteluja sekä kassanhallinnan ja talousohjauksen teoreettista viitekehystä. Työssä analysoitiin yrityksen rahoitusrakennetta, operatiivisen kassavirran haasteita sekä taloushallinnon nykytilaa. Tulosten perusteella kassanhallinta kehitysvaiheessa olevassa startup -yrityksessä tulee rakentaa integroiduksi kokonaisuudeksi, joka yhdistää maksuperusteisen kassavirtaennusteen, burn rate- ja runway-seurannan, operatiiviset ja strategiset mittarit sekä vaiheittaisen järjestelmäintegraation. Kalaliiketoiminnan erityispiirteet, kuten ostojen ja myyntien ajoituserot sekä varaston kiertoon sitoutuva pääoma, korostavat käyttöpääoman hallinnan merkitystä. Web3- ja ERP-ratkaisut voivat parantaa kassavirran läpinäkyvyyttä ja reaaliaikaista seurantaa, mutta niiden tulee tukea selkeästi määriteltyä talousohjausmallia. Taloushallinnon osalta suositeltavaksi ratkaisuksi muodostui hybridimalli, jossa lakisääteiset toiminnot ulkoistetaan ja operatiivisesti kriittiset prosessit integroidaan yrityksen omaan järjestelmään. Opinnäytetyön tuloksena syntyi käytännönläheinen kassanhallinnan ja mittariston malli, joka tukee yrityksen siirtymää kehitysvaiheesta kohti taloudellisesti kestävää liiketoimintaa.

The emergence of blockchain technology has led to an animated discussion among both researchers and practitioners about its future prospects. Similar to other upcoming technologies, in the foreground of the analysis are often the potential benefits of blockchain. Much less discussed are the challenges the technology must overcome before achieving breakthrough in traditional areas, such as the financial services sector. To close this gap, and to identify the challenges blockchain needs to overcome, we explore its impact in the payments industry, which represents a major pillar of banking and the cradle of blockchain. For this purpose, we performed a Delphi study and subsequently conducted a number of dedicated interviews. The findings enable us to delineate six key challenges that have to be tackled. Our study contributes to the literature on blockchain and has important practical implications as it indicates issues that should be addressed in order to foster its dissemination.

In the pursuit to take forward the Global Strategy for Women’s and Children’s Health and accelerate progress toward Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 in Asia and the Pacific, there is ample evidence on what should be done and why investments in Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health (RMNCH) are, or should be, national priorities. However, there is scant evidence on best practice approaches to prioritizing the investment in RMNCH, and implementation of health system strategies to improve the health of women and children, which remains a challenge for many countries in the region.In decentralized systems, which make up the vast majority in the region, prioritization usually takes place at different levels. Decision-making on the content of the benefits package, that is, which health interventions may be financed with public monies are usually taken by national authorities (macro-level or national priority setting). The difficult task of deciding how to deliver the benefits package, that is, the actual mix of providers (public and private), programs, resources, and strategies, usually rests on the shoulders of state, provincial and even district authorities (meso-level or subnational priority setting). Evidence-based recommendations were recently made for low and middle income countries (LMICs) to improve the process of prioritizing health interventions at national level (Glassman et al., 2012). However, scarce evidence exists to guide subnational authorities in their prioritization exercises.The primary aim of this exercise is therefore to provide evidence-based recommendations to inform decisions by subnational authorities on how to prioritize service delivery investments in RMNCH in Asia and the Pacific. For this purpose we undertook a review of the available evidence on priority setting for health in both the published and the grey literature during the last 10 years. Although our primary focus was on priority setting at the subnational level, we also examined the more extensive literature on macro-level priority setting to identify lessons learned.
