Purpose: The purpose is to provide a nuanced understanding of organisational cultural differences, obstacles associated with the human integration process and management strategies to overcome them. Theoretical Framework: Organisational cultural differences are treated as stemming largely from the organisation’s task environment, influenced by industry and function. Human integration is the proce

A debate in the EU and Sweden is ongoing on whether advertising of fossil fuels is to be banned. Some state that banning fossil fuel advertising is one step in the right direction toward a more sustainable world. In contrast, others say that the prohibition of communication channels prevents consumers from intake transparent communication, especially in a democratic country. This study problematiz

Transportation has a central role in the development of societies and has a significant impact on sustainability. Transportations with cars that are motor driven is the largest contributor to carbon dioxide emissions and is seen as the biggest threat to sustainable mobility. The car is deeply rooted in societies and the urban landscape is largely adapted to the use of this kind of transportation.

Adopting a critical discourse analysis approach, this study presents a case study around the “Menstruation should not be hidden” campaign launched by the Swedish brand, Libresse, in the Chinese market. With the aim to explore how does the brand strategically use female empowering discourse to construct new meanings of menstruation for a regional market, and the socio-cultural factors involved. Thi

Globalization has both contributed to a large increase of Chinese MNCs and affected the way culture is transferred around the globe. Particularly, this gives rise to the phenomenon of different cultural influences in the subsidiaries of Chinese MNCs. This thesis therefore aims at contributing to the understanding of how managers at Scandinavian subsidiaries of the Chinese multinational company Len

Hur ska vi förhindra förbränningen av plast? Förbränning av rest- och verksamhetsavfall står för ungefär 6 procent av Sveriges växthusgasutsläpp och för att minska utsläppen är det viktigt att minska mängden plast i restavfallet. För att ta reda på vilket sätt som bäst minskar miljöpåverkan från avfallsförbränning har effekterna av två olika åtgärder jämförts: att implementera fastighetsnära avfaCurrently 70-80 percent of Sweden’s plastic waste is incinerated. Waste-to-energy is usually considered being a mix of fossil and renewable energy and currently around 3 percent of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to the incineration of plastic waste. Therefore this paper explores the effects of two major measures to decrease the amount of incinerated plastic and thereby increas

Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and risky assets, therefore, it is of vital importance to find an appropriate model for risk measurement. This thesis compares three parametric and three non-parametric estimation methods to estimate the value at risk and the expected shortfall of five cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance coin (BNB), Ripple coin (XRP), and Cardano (AD

Justice discourse is noticeably emerging in the sustainable transition field. While at the same time, authoritarian governance, due to the unitary hierarchy in the political system it embeds in, is accused of having a higher possibility to reinforce old and create new injustice. China, in order to meet the carbon goal (strive for carbon peak in 2030 and neutrality in 2060), is expected to have a d

Hur påverkar miljöcertifiering försäljningspriset av kontorsbyggnader? Av: Ebba Dahlberg och Lovisa Frank Miljöcertifiering är ett väletablerat sätt att arbeta med hållbarhetsfrågor i den byggda miljön och kan ses som ett mått på hur miljömässigt hållbar en byggnad är. Men vilka motiv har fastighetsägarna att investera i miljöcertifiering, och har kontorsbyggnader med miljöcertifiering ett högre fAbstract The purpose of this case study is to investigate whether, and for what reason, green building certification of office properties affects, or does not affect, the sales price in an open bidding. The study's questions are; 1. How big is the possible difference in sales price for a property with a green building certification, compared to a non-certified but otherwise similar building? 2

Denna uppsats syftar till att förklara Miljöpartiets stagnerande utveckling som skett sedan valåret 2010. För att undersöka det kommer studien att utgå från en kvalitativ fallstudie samt en kvantitativ del som behandlar åren 2014-2018 som är Miljöpartiets första fyra år i regeringsposition. Fallstudien är av teoriprövande karaktär, vilket innebär att två hypoteser kommer att presenteras som i stud

While there is a degree of homogeneity in the physical impact that volcanic hazards can cause, the experience of volcanic risk and the politics of exposure are far from equal. The purpose of this thesis is to expand on research citing population growth and property price dynamics as factors encouraging settlement in the Mauna Loa and Kīlauea lava hazard zones. It seeks to determine if high-hazard

Syftet med vår studie var att se vilka eventuella samband det finns mellan boendemiljö och psykologiskt välbefinnande för individer som arbetar hemifrån. I dagens flexibla arbetsliv är arbete hemifrån ett vanligt inslag, vilket gör ämnet aktuellt och intressant att undersöka. Vi valde att genomföra en kvantitativ korrelationsstudie. Som datainsamlingsmetod använde vi en digital enkät. 100 arbetstThe aim of our study was to see which connections, if any, there are between living environment and psychological well-being for individuals who are working from home. In today's flexible work-life, working from home is a common feature, which makes this topic an interesting one to explore. We chose to do a quantitative correlation study. To gather data we used a digital online survey. 100 wo

Arbete på distans blev under en period vardag för flera tjänstepersoner till följd av covid-19 pandemin. Huruvida arbete från den traditionella arbetsplatsen fortsättningsvis är önskvärd för medarbetarna kan tänkas vara av intresse för arbetsgivare att ha kännedom om. Syftet med studien var att undersöka medarbetares upplevelse av distansarbetet utifrån produktivitet och gruppsammanhållning för tiDue to the covid-19 pandemic telework became a regular workday for many white-collar workers during a period of time. Whether the traditional workplace is desirable for workers to be continued working from or not may be of interest to employers to know. The aim of this study was to examine how municipal workers in the white-collar sector experienced telework as well as perceived their productivit

Är det inte dags att börja återvinna glasfiberplast? Ett växande miljöproblem är glasfiberkompositavfall. Idag existerar ingen tydlig återvinningsmetod utan istället läggs avfallet på hög eller förbränns. En cirkulär process som återvinner avfallet och introducerar det tillbaka in i tillverkningen kan gynna industrin både ekonomiskt och ur ett miljöperspektiv. Vad är dagens tekniska utmaningar ochThe reinforced composite industry is expanding. This raises the need for more sustainable resource use and waste management. A concept to combat both is circularity, creating a loop between the raw resources and the waste. Two important parts of circularity are recycling and reusing. This thesis presents literature studies on recycling, reuse and end-of-life methods for glass fibre-reinforced plas

Bakgrund: Allt fler patienter överlever i takt med att intensivvården utvecklas. En stor del av dessa patienter har emellertid kognitiva besvär efter utskrivningen som kan vara bestående lång tid efter utskrivning, vilket påverkar deras livskvalitet negativt. Syfte: Var att belysa prevalensen av långvarig kognitiv nedsättning för patienter efter intensivvård där instrumenten Repeatable Battery for

The European Model of Sports includes features that form part of the European identity, such as inclusion, tolerance and respect. It has been developed since the 1990s, and has been a cornerstone in the sports policy documents put forward by EU institutions, and was further strengthened by the introduction of Article 165 TFEU. The European Model of Sports is now under threat after the initiation o
