Resultaten visar att beslutet att initiera utdelning bland svenska börsbolag inte kan förklaras enbart av traditionella finansiella nyckeltal som likviditet, lönsamhet och kassaflöde. Istället formas utdelningsbeslutet av en komplex samverkan mellan bolagets strategi, utvecklingsfas, ägarstruktur och ledningens framtidsbedömningar. Särskilt betydelsefullt är inslaget av koncentrerat insiderägande,The results indicate that the decision to initiate dividend payments among Swedish listed companies cannot be explained solely by traditional financial key ratios such as liquidity, profitability, and cash flow. Instead, dividend decisions are shaped by a complex interaction between the company’s strategy, stage of development, ownership structure, and management’s expectations for the future. Par

Unga i riskzon med ofullständig utbildning löper en större risk att hamna i socialt utanförskap och kriminalitet än unga med en fullgjord grundskoleutbildning. Skolan är en förebyggande aktör gällande denna problematik med förutsättningen att det sker i samverkan med relevanta aktörer som socialtjänst. För att upprätta och etablera samverkan mellan skola och socialtjänst har Malmö stad utvecklat p

As decarbonization pressures increase for energy-intensive processing industries, understanding demand side readiness is essential in order to scale up breakthrough technologies. This thesis investigates the willingness to pay (WTP) for green steel in the North American automotive industry, with a focus on steel produced by the H2-DRI-EAF route, where hydrogen is produced from renewable electricit

Behovet av palliativ vård i hemmet ökar i takt med att fler patienter önskar vårdas i sin hemmiljö vid livets slut. Detta ställer höga krav på sjuksköterskans kompetens och självständighet. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda palliativt sjuka i hemmet. Studien är en icke-systematisk litteraturstudie med induktiv ansats och baseras på tio kvali

This study aims to investigate how corporate venture capital (CVC) and independent venture capital (IVC) influence innovation and financial outcomes in biotechnology firms following their initial public offering (IPO), and how factors like technological fit and failure tolerance mediate innovation outcomes. Using a sample of US-based biotechnology firms that completed IPOs between 2010 and 2020, w

Thesis title: The Navigation Test: When Bureaucratic and Normative Control Intersect at Sea Seminar date: 03/05/25 Subject/course: FEKH49, Degree project in organization at bachelor level in Business Administration, 15 credits. Authors: Amanda Gunnarson, Daniel Hansson and Mattias Karhi. Supervisor: Olof Hallonsten Keywords: Control, bureaucracy, normative, growth, brand culture. Research question

This thesis investigated the potential of using reactive power compensation to solve overvoltage issues caused by high amounts of distributed generation, such as rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems, in the low voltage grid. High voltages are caused by increasing distributed generation as the Swedish power grid shifts from centralised to decentralised power production. The aim was to manage overvol

Using data on Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) transactions available on the S&P Capital IQ database, this paper aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on Emerging Market Multinational Enterprises (EMNEs). Basing itself on the idea that EMNEs may differ significantly in their behavior, investment patterns, and strategic choices from their counterparts from already established ma

This study investigates why certain Swedish companies voluntarily choose to implement the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) before it becomes a formal requirement. Through qualitative interviews with sustainability managers, the thesis explores how companies strategically justify their decisions and how they interpret and adapt to the new regulatory framework. The analysis is bas

Betsockerprocessen är en energiintensiv process där ångdriven indunstning används för att avlägsna stora mängder vatten från den upprenade tunnsaften, som innehåller det från betorna extraherade sockret. I takt med industrins önskade fokus på energieffektivisering har membranteknologier för förkoncentrering av tunnsaften fått ett ökat intresse. Trots lovande resultat i ett begränsat antal försök åThe beet sugar process is an energy intensive process relying on steam evaporation to remove large amounts of water from the purified thin juice containing the sugar extracted from the beets. As the industry seeks greater energy efficiency, membrane technology for pre-concentration of thin juice has attracted interest. Limited trials have shown promise but fouling, sugar losses or high osmotic pre

Drönare och andra eldrivna luftfordon gör allt större inslag i dagens samhälle, med unik potential att forma framtiden. För en effektivare drift kan kontraroterande propellerpar användas. Interaktionen mellan propellrarna är däremot komplex, men här visas det tack vare optimering att en verkningsgrad högre än för två separata propellrar kan uppnås – du kan båda äta kakan, ha den kvar och få en smuContra rotating propellers (CRP) exhibit several benefits compared to a traditional single-propeller setup. It has for example a high thrust-to-area ratio and offsetting torque is minimized. Accordingly it has several applications, one of them being electrical vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The present thesis sets out to optimize the contra rotating propeller setup, both from a mo

This thesis presents a simulation-driven methodology for evaluating float design in aseptic filling machines, with the objective of reducing surface instabilities and air entrainment that contribute to splashing during the filling of viscous food products. The study was conducted in collaboration with Tetra Pak and focuses on understanding how float geometry, particularly mass and radius, affects

This thesis investigates the relationship between board composition and internationalisation in large U.S. consumer discretionary firms, using the foreign asset ratio as a measure of global engagement. Drawing on resource dependence, agency, contingency, and upper echelons theory, it explores the effects of board size, average age, tenure, and gender diversity and assesses how Porter’s Generic Str

The current agricultural model is criticized for its imperialist character and focus on productivity, and it affects peasants and small-scale farmers. However, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (UNDROP), adopted in 2018, could have an impact. The question in focus is: What contribution can the UNDROP, as a soft law instrument, make to

Mer än 150 miljoner ton plast. Detta är den mängd som just nu befinner sig i våra hav, och denna siffra stiger varje dag. Detta har destruktiva konsekvenser för de djur som lever där. Djuren fastnar i plasten och kan skadas både in- och utvändigt. Men plasten är lömskare än så. För att i plasten gömmer sig kemikalier som kallas för bisfenoler. Denna studie utvärderar vilka konsekvenser dessa har pThis study systematically reviews the endocrine-disrupting effects of Bisphenol A (BPA) and Bisphenol S (BPS) on aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates to assess potential health- and ecological risks. Scientific articles were analyzed to compare the impacts of these chemicals on reproductive systems, oxidative stress, neurotoxicity, and metabolism. Results indicate that BPA, even at low concentrat

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource for various quantum information applications including quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation. However, detecting entanglement in practice can be challenging due to noisy measurements and limited control over the systems being studied. Steering, which is a distinct nonlocal property between entanglement and bell nonlocality (the strongest
