Implementationen av informationssystem kan vara en mycket omfattande process och därför har ett antal framgångsfaktorer identifierats, faktorer som måste beaktas för att implementationen ska lyckas. En av dessa är användarutbildning där det i forskningen bland annat uppmanas att anpassa utbildningsmetoderna till personernas, som ska utbildas, olika inlärningsstilar. En persons inlärningsstil är de

The overall goal of this thesis is to examine the effect specific model components, GARCH, EVT and copula, have when examining the possible losses that can occur when holding a portfolio of financial energy contracts within different markets.

The increase in population and urbanization has led to widespread concern about the resulting volume of consumption. This is especially problematic in the housing market, where home size continues to grow. In the United States the average size of a single-family home has doubled since 1950, leading to a profound environmental impact. This paper will seek to address the problem of overconsumption b

The packaging waste problem was realized a couple decades ago. The effectiveness of waste policy instruments and EPR schemes for packaging and packaging waste is still being discussed in Europe. Finland like other EU Member states has transposed EU waste legislation into the national law. An EPR system for packaging and packaging waste in Finland was introduced in 1997.

In this master's thesis, a copula approach is used to model the number of claims made by a customer holding three insurances. It is important for insurance companies to have good models for the risk proles of their customers, and the number of claims is a key element in calculating the expected cost for the company. Using copulas, multivariate distribution functions are allowed to have any des

This essay concerns the financial crisis with a focus on Iceland and Ireland. We try to describe the events leading up to the crisis, the causes behind it and what factors were the most important. Furthermore we try to analyze what variables affect the GDP-gap prior to and after the crisis in the two countries. The reason we chose the two countries are their many similarities and the crucial diffe

Stress beskrivs som ett ökande problem i arbetslivet, och åtgärder av stressprofylaktisk karaktär efterfrågas ofta från företagshälsovårdens kunder. Företagshälsovården har ett flertal olika metoder för stressprofylaktiska insatser, och den trestegsmodell som beskrivs och utvärderas i uppsatsen har jag utvecklat i praktisk tillämpat arbete. Studiens syfte var att utvärdera om det var möjligt att p

Med en Business Intelligence (BI)-marknad som blir allt större och mer svåröverskådlig blir det viktigare att företagen som ska köpa in BI-verktyg vet vad de behöver. Men vilka faktorer spelar egentligen in när företag ska välja den här typen av system? För att kunna besvara denna fråga har vi genomfört en undersökning där fem stora tillverkande företag intervjuats via telefon. Intervjuerna genomfAs the Business Intelligence (BI) market is growing, and thus becoming harder to grasp, there is an increasing need for companies to know what they require when purchasing a system within this field. The question becomes, what factors are important when companies choose this type of system? In order to answer this, a study was conducted in which five large manufacturing companies were interviewed.
