Thesis assignment

As a thesis author, you bring value to the whole Ekonomit community and have the possibility to get support from our specialists with data, methods, and narrowing your topic.

We are looking for you, student member of Suomen Ekonomit

Suomen Ekonomit is searching for four thesis writers. Our goal is to gather additional information on topics that are central for the activities and functions of Ekonomit and phenomena in working life. The research themes and perspectives will be further refined during the application and interviewing process in collaboration between Ekonomit and the selected applicants.

Ekonomit have already outlined four general topics for you to choose from:

  • Factors that promote or undermine customer loyalty (especially in the context of professional organizations)
  • Barriers and motivators of side entrepreneurship among business students
  • Young people's attitudes and perceptions about acting as a supervisor/leader
  • Students' well-being and livelihood during a hard economic climate and general uncertainty

OR you can suggest your own theme that you believe would be particularly beneficial in the near future concerning the field and functions of Ekonomit and relevant questions for business students.

What do we expect from you?
We hope that you have done well in your studies and that you are highly motivated to produce a high quality thesis as an assignment. We also expect you to have a basic understanding of research methods and their applicability to different situations. It would be somewhat beneficial if you are already familiar with the activities of Ekonomit (services, events, association activities, etc.). The deadline for completing the project is at the end of October 2026, and the starting date can be agreed upon separately.


What shall we offer you?
During the assignment, we aim for close communication and collaboration, including with an official supervisor from the university. Juha Oksanen, the research manager of Ekonomit, will oversee the progress of the work, assisted by a colleague related to the topic area (substance) and a person responsible for communications. Otherwise, the way of working will be quite flexible in terms of location and timing.

The persons that become selected will be paid a fee in accordance with Ekonomit´s own recommendations (the recommendation for 2025 is 6,500 euros, the recommendation for 2026 will be published in December 2025). 

For more information about thesis assignments, please contact Research Manager Juha Oksanen, tel. +358 40 556 6671: Tue 9 September 9 am-4 pm, Wed 10 September 1:30 pm-4 pm, Mon 15 September 10 am-3 pm or Tue 23 September 9 am-3 pm.

Apply by Sunday, September 28, 2025 💎
We shall interview the most potential applicants during October via Teams.
