Affärssystemen har kommit att spela en allt mer central roll i många verksamheter de senaste decennierna, framför allt inom tillverkningsindustrin. Detta har också gjort att en allt större del utav företags IT-budgetar spenderas på dessa system. Investeringar i affärssystem är dock mycket svåra att utvärdera. En stor del utav de värden som affärssystem genererar är svåra att kvantifiera och uppska
The focus of this essay is the process of human self-identification in the human-cat relationship as narrated in On Cats by Doris Lessing. The concept of ‘narrative’, understood in the sense that it assigns meaning by connecting events and experiences, has allowed for an analysis of the meaningful connections in the interaction between the two species. By employing the philosophical term of ‘the O
Recent studies have paid strong attention to the field of brand extension, whilst comparatively limited research has focused on line extension and the reciprocal effects on the brand. Barely any attention has been paid to the effect of green product launches on brand evaluation in an automotive context or the influence of the actual awareness for the extensions. This thesis examines the role of Ne
Det svenska samhället har under längre tid sett ut så att skyddet för familjelivet, den privata sfären, vägt tyngre än ett offentligrättsligt styrande. Den rättsliga utvecklingen har dock under tid varit föränderlig och lagstiftaren har vägt in parametrar som att barn kan vara utsatta i familjelivet där de som skall ta hand om dem är de som utsätter barnen för skadliga handlingar. Enligt FN:s barnSwedish society has for some time looked to the protection of family life, private life, weighed heavier than a public ruling. The legal development, however, has been changing over time, and the legislature has weighed in parameters that children can be exposed in family life where those who must care for them are those who expose children to harmful acts. According to the UNCRC, the child's
Genom att framhäva de personliga fördelarna med att åka tåg och buss kan människor som vanligtvis åker bil få upp ögonen för dessa kollektiva transportmedel, vilket leder till minskade utsläpp av växthusgaser. Med mindre än 15 000 invånare är Åstorp en mindre kommun i nordvästra Skåne. I kommunen, som består av fyra tätorter, finns det två tågstationer och tjugotre busshållplatser. Trots de relatWith less than 15 000 inhabitants, Åstorp is a small municipality in the north west of Skåne. In the county there are two train stations and twenty-three bus stops. Despite the good opportunities for public transport, the municipality has high emissions of greenhouse gases from passenger transports if compared with other municipalities in Skåne. By means of a focus group, this paper employs a qual
Den andra juni 2014 utlöste fackförbundet Seko den omtalade tågstrejken som var en kamp om anställningsvillkor och anställningsformer. Avregleringen av järnvägen har blivit mycket kritiserad, då vinstdrivande intressen hos privata företag fått negativa konsekvenser för järnvägen. Denna kvalitativa studie handlar om de förändrade arbetsvillkoren i samhället och hur detta kommit att återspeglas i tå
Resilience, the ability to withstand or adapt to altered conditions, gets more important as the grave effects of climate change intensify. Individuals’ capacities to respond to disasters are strongly connected to their social capital (e.g. relationships and networks). The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of this connection at a neighborhood level. In the first part of this p
The aim of this study is to examine the determinants of capital structure via a cross-country comparison between the U.S.A. and Sweden. With the consideration of firm specific factors, the main focus is on researching country effect and macroeconomic impacts on firms’ financing policy. Including both country and macroeconomic factors in the research allows for having a new approach on the topic. T

Some practices are seen as so serious and damaging to competition that they are presumed to have restrictive effects on competition. Having a category of restrictions that are forbidden benefits both companies, as it creates legal certainty, and the Commission which would not not have to go through a burdensome investigation. In recent decades, the interpretation of restriction by object has cause

Några av de viktigaste spelarna i det svenska damlandslaget väger för lite för att kunna prestera maximalt under VM. Få studier är gjorda om relationen mellan kvinnliga fotbollsspelare och kroppsuppfattning. Studien ämnar att undersöka spelarnas egen uppfattning och förståelse av den hälsosamma kosthållningen och oviljan att gå upp i vikt. En kvalitativ intervjustudie användes för att öka insikten
Justice, in the broadest sense of equality and fairness, is a cornerstone aspect of our abilities, as human beings, to lead individual lives in the way we choose according to what we see as the right or the good way to live. A catalyst for any debate over a theory of justice, Immanuel Kant’s work provides a fundamental basis from which we should begin to understand why society, with justice as a k
The purpose of this thesis was to examine key factors for adoption of online shopping of consumer goods through smartphones in Sweden. Previous research on online shopping and m-commerce was reviewed and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT) (Venkatesh et al. 2003) was chosen. Interviews were conducted with 11 online shoppers and 5 industry experts to explore current
There is no answer to the question “Are sustainability challenges solvable within capitalism?” which is not already taking sides in a debate about values, perceptions and motivations. There are several different approaches to sustainability, based on assumed feasibilities and expected agents of change. By disclosing one’s own stand in the debate while being aware and acknowledging other possible a
In 2014 a new library legislation (SFS2013:801) in Sweden replaced the previous from 1997 (SFS1996:1596). The background for an entirely new legislation was due to the fact that society had become much changed since 1997 therefore legislators identified a need for an altogether new legislation. Paragraph 2 § is a so called guiding clause and embodies the view of the library as an important contrib
The venture capital industry is seen to be favourable for an economy’s business dynamics. Using a panel of 23 countries over 2004 – 2012, the thesis explores the linkage of venture capital with firm births, employment in newly born firms and survival rates. The aggregate approach allows considering the implicit multiplier effect of VC. The thesis proposes a reconsideration of venture capital for e
The thesis studies internal migration patterns in Sweden in respect to regional disparities between urban and rural municipalities. Sweden, with many other developed countries, is struggling with depopulation in rural regions, which in the long run can cause problems maintaining services and fundamental institutions in the municipality. As the main responsibility of municipalities is to maintain t
