The critics about poor performance of NGOs over the last two decades focuses on their inclination towards ‘big D’ development – project based intentional activity in health, education and water which has little intention to challenge existing power relation and social structures - and underlined the loss of transformatory edge of participation. Critics further urged NGOs to realign their orientati

The spreading of innovation within organisations is an area of interest for both academics and practitioners. Within information systems research collaboration issues are often addressed and solved through implementation of technology artefacts to meditate communication.

Abstract In this thesis we examine the link between idiosyncratic risk and liquidity on a sample of European equity covering the last 15 years and consisting of monthly retuns on 120 stocks. This thesis builds heavily upon an article by Speigel and Wang (2005), which demonstrates the relationship between risk and various liquidity measures on the US market. In this study idiosyncratic risk is indi

I dagens samhälle finns ett överskott på produkter. Därmed tas produkters funktionella värde mer för givet och det emotionella värdet spelar istället en stor roll i valet av produkt. Huvudsyftet med denna studie blev att undersöka individers emotionella och funktionella värderingar av produkterna schampo, mobiltelefon och kläder.

Relationer och samarbeten mellan företag är ett ämne som det forskats om under en lång tid. Genom att dela upp olika uppgifter och specialisera sig på sina kärnkompetenser bidrar det till att utvecklingen går framåt och konkurrenskraften ökar. Under de senaste 20-30 åren har en del forskning kommit fram till att det inte räcker att samarbeta med enbart företaget i nästa steg i försörjningskedjan u

I have chosen in my Bachelor thesis to analyze how the two American TV-series, 24 (2001-2010) and Homeland (2011-), examine and explain terrorism and other aspects of the “War on Terror.” They were both created after the attacks on September 11th, 2001 and therefore affected by the political situation in the country. With the help of Noam Chomsky and his propaganda model I wish to find out what ki

Catalonia is a nation with it's own language, its own culture, own policy and own history it is said. A non-independent nation that is living it's ordinary life flagging its banal symbols as if it al ready was an independent state.

By applying Länsstyrelsens definition of honor-related oppression to situations that exists in cults and families with honor-related oppression we have identified the existence of some norms concerning ho
