Today’s business environment is constantly evolving and growing, the companies of today constantly have to be on the lookout for new knowledge, it has to be a never ending strive. They have to realize that no company can by themselves create knowledge, it is possible only through interaction with their human capital. Because we live in a knowledge economy, the way companies handle their knowledge
Sammanfattningsvis har vi kommit fram till att Bottom of the Pyramid segmentet är ett outnyttjat segment gällande antalet aktiva multinationella företag där. Detta grundar sig i att det finns ett stort antal felaktiga antagande gällande köpbenägenheten i segmentet samt kunskapsdelta mellan företag och konsumenter. Menstruationsskydd produceras inte i Indien på grund av att ämnet är tabu. Kunskapsd

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur relationen mellan entreprenör och riskkapitalist påverkar innovativa, entreprenörsdrivna bolag med högteknologiska produktinnovationer i ett inledande företagsskede. Uppsatsens resultat visar hur innovativa, entreprenörsdriva företag med högteknologiska produktinnovationer påverkas av relationsbygget med riskkapitaliser. Den faktor i investeringsprocessen som
Title: A journey in the Smartphone Landscape – How new platforms are driving Value Migration in the Smartphone Industry Seminar date: 2011-01-14 Course: Master thesis in business administration, Major in Strategic Management, 15 University Credit Points (15 ECTS).

Bakgrund:En ökad globalisering och hårdnad internationell konkurrens har medfört att styrning och kontroll av interorganisatoriska relationer har ökat i betydelse. Dessa relationer är komplexa i sin natur och därför svåra att styra men görs detta effektivt kommer också organisationerna stärka sin position på marknaden genom ökad konkurrenskraft. Syfte: Vårt syfte är att beskriva och analysera hur
Riksdagens utbyggnadsmål innebär att det till år 2020 ska vara möjligt att producera 30 TWh el genom vindkraft. Lokaliseringen av vindkraftverk är en mycket viktig del i uppfyllandet av riksdagens utbyggnadsmål. Den kommunala planeringen är ett verktyg för att kunna uppfylla detta mål. Detta samtidigt som kommunen i tillståndsprocessen kan skydda områden, som inte anses vara lämpliga för vindkraft
Authors: Lisa Grönlund and Jenny Jalvelius Title: Body & Mind – A discourse analysis of two participants’ constructions of transsexualism within the frame of a public investigation [translated title] Supervisor: Mats Hilte Assessor: Anna Meeuwisse Lately transsexualism and transsexuals have received increased attention in media and in the field of research and we have aimed to contribute t
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka ledarstilens samband med organisationens kreativa klimat. Studien avsåg även att undersöka sambandet mellan ledarstil och känsla av sammanhang på arbetet. Data inhämtades via ett pågående forskningsprojekt, vid Institutionen för psykologi vid Lunds Universitet, med syfte att kartlägga organisatoriska förutsättningar för kreativitet och innovation. MaterialThe aim of this thesis was to examine the relationship between leadership style and creative organizational climate. The aim was also to examine the relation between leadership style and work-related sense of coherence. The material for our study has been part of a project at the University of Lund, aimed to study organizational conditions for creativity and innovation. The information was gathere
Frågan om restprodukter – ämnen eller material som oavsiktligt framställts i en produktionsprocess – ska utgöra avfall eller inte är en omdebatterad fråga i EU:s avfallslagstiftning. EU-domstolen har tagit upp frågan i ett flertal mål och genom sin praxis ställt upp kriterier som utgör en princip för när en restprodukt utgör en biprodukt och inte ett avfall – i detta arbete benämnt biproduktprinciThe question if a residual substance – a material that has been unintentionally produced in a production process – should be regarded as a waste is a heavily debated question in EU waste legislation. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has brought the question to attention in a number of cases, and has through its case law put forward a number of criteria as to when a residual substance shall be c
Are there such things as moral, rights and an inner sense of justice? Do they origin from God or are they something given by nature? If there are such things, should they be a part of the legal system? This essay has drawn its inspiration from this kind of thoughts and how they have been handled through history. The structure of the essay is two-folded. Part one is a historical review of the eme
This report describes two models for calculations and simulations of spread of fire gases via ventilation systems. The models are applied on the electrical building of reactor 3 at the nuclear power plant of Ringhals, Sweden. A summary of the present Swedish regulations regarding fire dampers and duct insulation is presented. Suggestions to reduce smoke spread via ventilation systems are given. (S
The new building code was implemented in Sweden in 1994. This building code made it more possible to use solutions, not only standard but also alternative solutions, based upon analytical calculations to show whether the fire safety level in a building is enough or not. With computer programs and equations it is possible to dimension the type and proportions of the selected fire safety equipment.
Fundamental laws of nature used in field modelling using Computational Fluid Dynamics are discussed and explained. Extensions and models used to complement these basic laws of physics in fire specific scenarios are also discussed. The field model SOFIE, Simulation Of Fires In Enclosures, has been used and predictions of gas-temperature, gas-velocity and presence of combustion gases are compared to
This report investigate evacuation safety in business premises. A number of rooms have been designed by old Swedish building regulations, Nybyggnadsreglerna, NR, 1988 as handbook. When NR doesn’t corresponds with the building regulations of today, Boverkets byggregler, BBR 94, the rules in BBR will be followed. The rooms have been chosen in a way so it will be possible to study the effects on the
A flame-spread model is incorporated into a zone model, the WPI/Fire Code. The external heat flux’s influence on the model is discussed and a tolerable value is calculated. The input parameters to the flame-spread algorithm are exposed to a simple sensitivity analysis. The algorithm is compared with two scenarios, Model A and Model B. Model A compares experimental data from a free burning test whi
A risk analysis of the coatings manufacturer Akzo Nobel in Sege, Malmö, was carried out in 1996. This consequence analysis has been made from the resulting seven worst case scenarios in the risk analysis. The scenarios have been analyzed regarding temperature, smoke layer height, RHR, and oxygen concentration. Comparison has been made with the industrial fire department’s and Malmö fire department
The aim of this report has been to perform a risk analysis of Iggesund Paperboards paperboard factory in Iggesund and from the result draw conclusions on how to develop the methodology of economical risk analysis. The risk analysis consequences are expressed in economical terms and the measurement of the risk is presented as the expected annual cost due to fire. The model which is used is based on
The concept of weapon-induced fires on board ships (mainly warships) is introduced in a comprehensive manner. The analysis is based on experiences from military and civilian shipping, statistics, experimental work and literature on the subject. Events following a weapon-induced fire are outlined in a qualitative manner and key hazards and measures of protection and their effects are recognised and
