Liiketaloudellisessa

Liiketaloudellinen is a Finnish adjective that refers to business economics or financial viability. The expression liiketaloudellisessa is the inessive form used to indicate perspective, as in phrases like liiketaloudellisessa mielessä (in a business-economic sense) or liiketaloudellisessa tarkastelussa (in a business-economic analysis). It is commonly found in formal texts, such as reports, assessments, and decision documents, where the focus is on economic impact, profitability, and resource use.

Etymology and usage notes: The term derives from liiketalous, the field of business economics, itself built from liiketoiminta (business activity) and talous (economy/finance). The inessive form liiketaloudellisessa is used to anchor statements to an economic viewpoint, distinguishing it from technical, legal, or social considerations. In many contexts it introduces a condition, criterion, or framework for evaluation.

Typical usage: In a sentence, one might say that a project has been evaluated liiketaloudellisessa mielessä, meaning its financial viability has been assessed. For example: Liiketaloudellisessa tarkastelussa hankkeen kannattavuus ylittää riskit. Another example: Päätös tehtiin liiketaloudellisessa mielessä, focusing on expected return and cost-efficiency.

Context and scope: The term is prevalent in accounting, budgeting, investment analysis, procurement, and public-policy assessments. It signals that the evaluation prioritizes economic effects, such as net present value, return on investment, and lifecycle costs, rather than purely technical feasibility or regulatory compliance. Related terms include liiketoiminta, liiketoiminnallinen, and kustannus-hyötyanalyysi, which are often used together in economic analyses.
