Abstract: Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional algebra over a field $F$ with char$(F)e2$. We show that a linear map $D:AoA$ satisfying $xD(x)xin[A,A]$ for every $xinA$ is the sum of an inner derivation and a linear map whose image lies in the radical of $A$. Assuming additionally that $A$ is semisimple and char$(F)e3$, we show that a linear map $T:AoA$ satisfies $T(x{)}^3-x^{3}in[A,A]$ for every $xinA$ if and only if there exist a Jordan automorphism $J$ of $A$ lying in the multiplication algebra of $A$ and a central element $alpha$ satisfying $alph{a}^3=1$ such that $T(x)=alphaJ(x)$ for all $xinA$. These two results are applied to the study of local derivations and local (Jordan) automorphisms. In particular, the second result is used to prove that every local Jordan automorphism of a finite-dimensional simple algebra $A$ (over a field $F$ with char$(F)e2,3$) is a Jordan automorphism.
