Problembeskrivning: Ett företags varumärkesidentitet är den bild av företaget som de önskar att deras konsumenter och omgivning ska uppfatta. Den bild företaget vill förmedla stämmer dock inte alltid överens med den bild som faktiskt förmedlas. Större delen av tidigare forskning har skilt på hur varumärkesidentitet skapas och förmedlas. Vi ser emellertid ett tydligt samband mellan det interna skap
Problematisering: Ett modernt fenomen inom handel som på senare år kommit att bli allt vanligare, är så kallad eventförsäljning. Denna typ av försäljning skiljer sig märkbart ifrån den traditionella formen, främst då säljaren söker upp kunden istället för tvärtom. I uppsatsen ligger fokus på att studera de effekter som specifika arbetsvillkor kan medföra samt se till vilka individer som motiveras

Sammanfattning Det har under en tid funnits en oro över att vi har en bostadsbubbla på den svenska fastighetsmarknaden. Vissa menar att priserna ligger både 20 och 40 procent över det förväntade värdet medans andra menar att det finns utrymme för ytterligare ökningar och att någon egentlig grund för en bubbla saknas. Uppsatsen har för avsikt att undersöka huruvida dagens verkliga fastighetspriser
The aim of the current retrospective study was to investigate the subjective experience of momentum and the presence of momentum in performance. Earlier studies have focused on studying individuals and novices in fictive situations. We decided to study the phenomenon on a team level. A case study was conducted on ten female elite handball players who were asked to carry out a survey where the aim

In our master thesis we want to investigate how the extensive and intensive trading is affecting Germany’s air condition industry. We are going to focus on countries located in Europe and divide them in to five different sections. The data that we are using comes from OECD and the time length for the data set is from 1997-2007. Our thesis is divided into five different parts. We begin to explain h
Utvecklingen av mobiltelefoner och elektroniska betalningar har kommit långt men ännu finns ingen framgångsrik mobilbetalningstjänst i Sverige som går att använda som ersättning för traditionella betalningsmedel. Många misslyckade försök har gjorts att introducera en lösning. I den här studien har faktorer för en ökad acceptans och diffusion av mobilbetalning identifierats igenom en litteraturgeno
This paper explores the validity of assuming the existence of a Swedish R&D paradox based on the relationship between R&D expenditures and economic growth, and what implications the existence of such a paradox ought to have on policies that concern R&D expenditure. Consequently, in the first instance, the relationship between Gross Expenditure on Research & Development (GERD) and G
De agila systemutvecklingsmetoderna uppstod eftersom det fanns krav på en mer lättrörlig systemutvecklingsmetod. En av de mest tillämpade agila metoder är Scrum som är anpassad för små projekt. Populariteten av Scrum har ökat konstant tack vare flera framgångar och detta har medfört att organisationer på senare år blivit intresserade av att tillämpa Scrum i stora projekt. Detta har dock visat sig
One of the characteristic things about the dialects on the south island Kyushu of Japan, is the usage of the verb endings -yoo and -too. The focus of this thesis will be on the usage of these two in the city Fukuoka. -yoo and -too are often compared with the verb ending -te iru used in standard Japanese, which for example is used for expressing progressive actions and resultative actions. Since th
The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is easier to predict the default probability in EU than in the USA or vice versa by analyzing the time period 2006-2009 which is characterized by the financial crisis. We will also establish whether there are any differences in the prediction of default probabilities between non-financial and financial firms. To be able to perform the study, we
Executive compensation is one of the most widely discussed topics since the latest economic turmoil. Shortly after the S&P 500 decreased by almost 50 percent in fall 2008, 70 percent of the 200 largest corporations in the United States reported changes in compensation packages for their executives. This study gives the reader an empirical insight into the stock market reaction following the an
Innovation is a popular concept among organizational researchers, all of whom tend to share a common consensus that it is highly important for organizational effectiveness. Furthermore, whether theoretically or conceptually presented, innovation has been widely described and argued as something which organizations can control and manage with a view to increase their levels of competitiveness.

Despite the current attempt of scholars over the last decades to liberate literature from the dualistic, binary-minded gender thinking by presenting multiple concepts of gender identity construction (cf. Pullen & Simpson 2009; Linstead & Pullen 2006), our society is still constructed by the differentiation of women and men based on stereotypes (Nentwich 2006; Billing & Alvesson 2000).
