Samhället, organisationer och individer är idag under ständig påverkan av information och kunskap. För att ta vara på tillgänglig kunskap och information behöver organisationer ha ett aktivt arbete med kunskapsprocesser som i sin tur stöds av olika IT-verktyg. Uppsatsen syftar till att bygga en djupare förståelse för hur IT-konsultföretag jobbar med dessa processer och system för att hantera proje

Spindeln i nätet Föreliggande kandidatuppsats undersöker mellanchefens kommunikativa betydelse i en förändringsprocess med hjälp av fallorganisationen Orango AB. Tidigare forskning har belyst att mellanchefen har en betydande roll i en förändringsprocess men trots det finns det lite forskning gällande deras mångtydiga roll. Studiens syfte var därmed att skapa förståelse för hur mellanchefen upplevThe spider in the net In this bachelor thesis the middle manager's communicative role during change management was investigated at the case organization Orango AB. Previous research has determined that the middle manager has a significant role in a change process, but despite this, there is little research regarding their ambiguous role. Thus, the purpose of the study was to create an understa

This thesis applies a Foucauldian genealogy to examine the power relations in global univer-sity rankings, by analysing three strategic reports from Lund University. The strategic reports are from 1995-2000, 2012-2016, and 2017-2026. The theory applied is Foucault’s pow-er/knowledge theory. The research question that guides this thesis is What signs of adaptation to rankings can be identified in t

This study aims to investigate the experience of work-related stress among childcare workers. It further explores the ways in which stress can be prevented in the workplace. The study is based on a qualitative research method, consisting of six semi-structured interviews with social workers. The theoretical framework for this study was Karasek and Theorell’s demand- control model. The empirical ma

The aim of this study was to, according to eight managers stories in a service-orientated professions, narrative theory and method, see what factors have made it possible or acted as obstacles to reach a management position and pursue leadership in that position. The used method has been a qualitative analysis with a narrative standpoint and semi-structured interviews. The main results showed that

Based on ethnographic data, this study sheds light on gender (in)equality in Scandinavian workplaces in Ukraine. More specifically, the study aims to investigate how managers in Scandinavian companies in Ukraine present and legitimize company-practices in relation to gender equality. The study is within critical management studies and takes a Butlerian, per-formative approach to knowledge producti

Personal på sjukhusavdelningar upplever ett antal problem kopplade till administrativa uppgifter. Bland dessa problem ingår att behöva dokumentera samma information i flera system, samt svårigheter vid överlämningar mellan skift. Den nuvarande produkten Pulstavlan, utvecklad av Stretch Care AB, har som mål att lösa dessa problem. Pulstavlan är dock stationär och möjliggör därför inte för vårdpersoStaff in hospital wards experience a number of issues related to administrative tasks. These problems include needing to document the same information in multiple systems, and difficulties in shift handovers between staff members. The existing product Pulstavlan, developed by Stretch Care AB, aims to solve these issues. However, as the product is stationary, it does not enable staff to bring the i

Through a content idea analysis and neo-institutionalist theory this paper aims to examine the institutional conventions, routines, and strategies characterising Swedish immigrant policy making from 1975 to 2008. Furthermore, the purpose is to depict how integration of migrants has been described in Swedish Government Official Reports (SOU series) and government bills since the formulation of the

The two main objectives of colon cancer screening programs are to prevent and early detect possible cancers in the medium-risk population. Hence, with this paper, I study the following two questions. First, is the program successful at reducing colon cancer mortality rate? Second, what are the key roles early detection and prevention have in reducing mortality rate? To answer these questions, I us

An urban nature experience – an urban park where people can experience and improve the relationship between human and nature. This is an exhibition of nature in an urban environment. Here you can experience the nature with all of your senses; sight, smell, touch, sound and taste. Research has shown that the more people are exposed to nature, the more they appreciate it, and the more environmental

Kriminalvården erbjuder sina klienter behandlingsprogram vilket syftar till att minska återfall i brott. Tidigare forskning har främst undersökt behandlingsprograms effekt på återfall i brott, och få om klientens upplevelse av programmen. Denna studie syftar därför till att undersöka klienternas upplevelse av det KBT-baserade behandlingsprogrammet One-to-One (OTO) som erbjuds på Kriminalvårdens an

Under det senaste decenniet har världen blivit varse om fenomenet ”incels”. Incels har uppbå-dat stor medial uppmärksamhet till följd av två massmord utförda av män som identifierade sig som incels, vilket har föranlett att en relativt endimensionell bild av incels har fått fäste: incels beskrivs som arga och farliga män som hatar kvinnor för att de förnekas sex. Hur väl stämmer dessa beskrivninga

Companies are spending more money on the SMI marketing strategy than ever. Research does however show that SMIs are viewed as sellouts doing collaborations for personal profit. Hence it is questionable for how authenticity (the number one thing people look for before making a purchase) is perceived and communicated. One does simply not understand how authenticity is perceived, as SMIs themselves a

Light dark matter is a hypothesized form of dark matter in the 1 MeV to 1 GeV mass range. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of light dark matter, by colliding an electron beam with a tungsten target and assembling a set of events that potentially indicate the existence of light dark matter. The three main detector components of the LDMX are a s

The fire service has an extended area of responsibility when there is a heightened state of alert, according to the Swedish Civil Protection Act. This extended area of responsibility comes with new tasks for the

Research has shown that the heterogeneity of entrepreneurial teams, in terms of educational background, has a positive impact on venture performance as a result of the access to diverse skill sets and perspectives. However, the heterogeneity of the team can also lead to communication inefficiencies due to the diverse viewpoints and cognitive differences. Forewarning methods, understood as the prep
