Tiivistelmä
Our thesis is a functional work as we organized a seminar “Bridging entrepreneurship education between Russia and Nordic countries” which took place in August 2013. During the three-day seminar there were two separate programmes for professors and students, which we planned together with our commissioner, Business Department of Mikkeli University of Applied Sciences.
In our bachelor’s thesis we are focusing on three aspects of organizing a seminar; planning/organization/management, coordination, and evaluation. The overall purpose of the thesis was to identify the process of organizing a successful event. The theoretical context discusses event management extensively. The context is concentrated in the areas the planned and organized event encapsulates. In addition, it describes the cultural factors focusing more closely on the nationalities present in the organized event.
The research was based on both a qualitative and quantitative approach. The data was collected with questionnaires, observation and interviews executed during and after the seminar. The aim of the research was to identify areas for development. The results can be utilized in the development of future events.
