The most noticeable common weakness found in Thai SMEs' operations are; (1.) weak costing system and, (2.) unhealthy management system. Fierce competition drives Thai SMEs to strike for continuous improvement. In the war of pricing, market price automatically sets ceiling price for businesses, supply surplus leads customers to choose the most quality product (expected quality at less money spe

This thesis studies the extent at which five factors affect the democratization process in Kuwait: elections & opposition, gender, media, mass belief and international influence. This thesis finds that there are two factors that affect the process of democratization more than the rest; gender and media. Recent reforms in these respective factors affects the democratization process, the politic

During the past two decades several studies pointed out the contradiction between abundance of natural resources and its negative impact on economic growth and development. This paradox has been widely observed and documented throughout the development literature. In this context, China’s increasing demand for natural resources and consequent growing trade and influence in developing countries has

What is the current state of agricultural research and development (R&D) in sub-Saharan Africa, how does it intertwine with politics, and why? How can roadblocks to agricultural science be overcome? This thesis addresses these questions, first by demonstrating the necessity of agriculture for nationwide development in sub-Saharan Africa, then by moving more specifically into agricultural resea

Stabiliteten på finansmarknaden har visat sig vara en viktig fråga för Kommissionen och en integrerad del av EU: s konkurrenspolitik. Den globala finanskrisen, med ursprung i USA, har påverkat de flesta av EU:s medlemsstater och framförallt skadat banker. Ett minskat förtroende för de finansiella marknaderna ledde till att utlåningen mellan banker totalt uteblev. Detta ledde i sin tur till en kredThe stability of the financial market has proven to be an important issue for the European Commission and an integral part of European competition policy. The global financial crisis, originating from the U.S., has affected most of the European Union’s Member States. A loss of confidence in the financial markets led to a freeze in interbank lending and an unprecedented credit crunch. As a response

Den organiserade brottsligheten finns i Sverige, men det är oklart vilket hot den utgör mot det svenska samhället och rättsväsendet. Denna uppsats problematiserar hur den organiserade brottsligheten framställs inom lagstiftning och rättstillämpning. Regeringen initierade år 2007 en nationell mobilisering mot den grova organiserade brottsligheten, vilket har medfört omfattande omstruktureringar inoOrganized crime exists in Sweden, but it is unclear what kind of threat it poses to the Swedish society and judicial system. This essay discusses how organized crime is described and used in legislation and law enforcement. In 2007 the government initiated a national mobilization against serious organized crime, which has led to major restructuring within the national police organization and prose

Klimatförändringen är ett fenomen som på ett aldrig tidigare skådat sätt kommer att sätta press på rättssystem världen runt. Det finns ett behov av att utforma rättsliga instrument och institutioner för att hantera förändringar i miljön men också av att utforma själva lagstiftningen att vara flexibel och anpassningsbar i förhållande till föränderliga förhållanden i naturens tillstånd. För att säkeClimate change is a phenomenon that in an unprecedented way will put pressure on the legal systems worldwide. Not only is there a need for designing the necessary legal instruments and institutions to handle changes in the environment but also for the law itself to be flexible and able to adapt under preconditions in nature which are uncertain. To ensure that the legislation is resilient enough to

Fairtrade has become a familiar trademark for most consumers in the developed world and represents an option for the buyer to purchase a product that has been certified to follow the ethical standards of ”fair” trade. This branding has received much critique over the last years concerning Fairtrade's ability to improve the lives of small producers in the developing world. This thesis derives f

When new technologies for the health care sector are developed, it is of outmost importance to increase the possibilities of survival and remain high quality of life for patients. During the conception and design of such technologies, the problem to solve and the possible solutions to achieve have to be well understood and the scope has to be defined. For the particular case of the project LISA, t

With this paper the goal was to study the pottery of the Iron Age settlement of Uppåkra in southern Sweden, with the view that the ceramic material from this site is indeed a “mass material”. I examined what strategies an Iron Age society might have had for their waste, as waste is something that all societies create and have to manage, somehow. I was curious to know how the waste from this period

Climate change has emerged as the most prominent of the global environment issues and there is a need to evaluate its impact on the agriculture. General Circulation Models (GCMs) which are considered as the most advance tools for estimating future climate change scenarios operate on coarse resolutions. It is for this reason the climate change model MAGICC coupled to SCENGEN developed by the IPCC w
