The capital cost of holding inventory - A real options approach

This thesis is based on three scientific papers dealing with costs and financial risks associated with keeping stock. Reasonable cost parameters are important to implement an effective inventory control system, which in turn is one of the key activities in logistics management. All three papers consider a single-level inventory system. Single-period, multi-period as well as continuous review syste

Market-Oriented Programming and its Application to Power Load Management

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen studerar en ny programmeringsmetod, kallad marknads-orienterad programmering, och undersöker hur den kan användas i praktiska tillämpningar.Market-oriented programming is a new approach to design and implementation of resource allocation mechanisms in computer systems. It has its roots in different disciplines, such as economics and computer science (in particular the area of multi-agent systems).

A Tool for Utility Disturbance Management

Disturbances in the supply of utilities may lead to large economical losses at industrial sites. In order to take appropriate decisions on for which utilities improvement efforts should be made, a tool for evaluating the economical effects of utility disturbances is needed. This paper presents a tool for quickly estimating the revenue loss caused by each utility, using simple matrix operations. A

Structural guarantees for the state aid field. The community's last best hope against national arbitrariness

In line with current tendencies of ‘new modes of governance’, this essay introduces judicial tools, which strike a balance between the respect for national autonomy in individual assessments and the effective implementation of Community law.

Förändring i ett skandinaviskt perspektiv

Inom ämnet organisationsteori är studier av planerade förändringar vanliga, dels därför att dagens organisationer är mycket förändringsbenägna, dels för att vi som studerar organisationer tycker att det är viktigt att förstå varför och hur förändringar sker. Syftet med plaerade förändringsprocesser kan vara att utöka eller dra ner på verksamheten, att effektivisera och öka produktivitet och kvalit

Personnel Resistance in Public Professional Service Mergers: The Merging of Two National Audit Organizations

The human side of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) – with focus particularly on resistance - has puzzled scholars for decades. Still, there is little discussion as regards to how the concept should be defined or understood. Often expressions of resistance, rather than its actual content, are described. What do personnel actually oppose? In this dissertation, the content, process, and context of

A "deep" ice core from east Greenland

Pilot studies on the Renland peninsula in Scoresbysund Fjord, East Greenland, indicated that the relatively small and separate Renland ice cap meets most of the criteria defining a favourable ice-core drill-site. In 1988, a Nordic expedition recovered a continuous surface-to-bedrock ice core from the summit. This relatively short core reaches deep into the past, probably throughout the last glacia
