The voluntary none-financial sustainability report has become a trend within accounting. The environmental issues used to be driven by activists only, but lately it has moved in to the general agenda in many companies. Investors are starting to put more attention to the sustainability reporting as it is considered to add value to the company. There are several standard guidelines to be used when producing a sustainability report, one example is the GRI´s Guidelines that takes the following three dimensions in consideration: economy, environment and social. This Guideline is from an international perspective considered to be of good accounting practice (Ljungdahl 2008).

Title:Change strategies in the transition towards a cashless banking systemLevel:Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business AdministrationAuthor:Elin Lånström och Vildana SmailagicSupervisor:Stig SörlingDate:August 2013Aim:In our study, we compare what it is that drives a bank to implement changes in their business, what problems these changes may bring, and how organizations deal with these. We do this by studying how different banks choose to relate to the handling of cash.The questions we ask ourselves are:? What lies behind the decision to make changes in cash management?? How is the change implemented in practice?? What do banks think this change will mean for the future?Method:The study was conducted with the help of a qualitative scientific method. We conducted interviews with representatives of four banks, and made use of secondary data in the form of scientific literature and scientific articles.Result & Conclusions:Organizations implement changes in order to adapt and achieve balance with their environment but also within the organization itself. Our study shows that the decision to introduce cashless branches is mainly a result of banks' efforts to become more cost efficient.

To effectively manage a forest resource for both economic and other values good planning is required. The problem is complex since you want to know which forest to cut and when. Often a hierarchical planning structure is applied, including strategic (long-term), tactical, (medium-term) and operational level. Today SCA Forest is one of few forestry companies in the northern Sweden with an integrated forest wood supply and industry. The goals of the company are to supply their own industries with wood and to manage the resources of the forest through a long-term perspective with satisfactory profitability.

Bankkrisen under det tidiga 1990-talet resulterade i en instabilitet i den Svenska ekonomin som gjorde det nödvändigt för regeringen att träda in med kraftiga åtgärder.Bakgrunden till denna kris kan bland annat spåras till den avreglering som genomfördes 1985 då taket på bankernas kreditexpansion togs bort. Detta arbete undersöker hur regleringen har utvecklats efter krisen samt hur effektiv denna utveckling är i förhindrandet av framtida kriser.Den teoretiska utgångspunkten för arbetet är en undersökning som genomfördes strax efter krisens slut av Jonathan R. Macey som i fem principer beskriver hur en framtida reglering bör se ut. Dessutom utgör det nya regelverk som håller på att implementeras vid namn Basel II en del av teorin. Dessa teorier ställs mot resultatet av intervjuer som genomförts med en av de Svenska storbankerna samt Finansinspektionen.

Introduction: Interplay between all the different subsystems of the financial markets is currently considered as an important internal force in the market. In a financially liberalized economy exchange rate stability is a basis for a wellbeing stock market. If these interactions between all the different subsystems of the financial markets are not detected, this means that there is information inefficiency in the markets.Problem: Can we find any correlation between changes in currency, interest rate and bonds with the stock market index? If so, how do these changes affect the Stockholm Stock Exchange?Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine if there is any linkage between the interest rate, currency and bonds with the stock market. The researchers wanted to find out how these variables affect the stock market index OMX S30 which consists of the 30 largest companies on the Stockholm Stock Exchange.Method: This research has been based on a quantitative approach.

Detta arbete handlar om matematiksvårigheter. Jag ville att mina studier skulle leda till att jag blir bättre på att bemöta elever som har svårt med matematik och därför valde jag att utgå från följande frågeställningar: Vad kan det finnas för orsaker till att elever har matematiksvårigheter? Vilka svårigheter har eleverna och hur kan man arbeta för att hjälpa dem. Genom att läsa litteratur och intervjua sju lärare har jag sökt svar på mina frågor. Under arbetets gånghar jag fått reda på en mängd olika faktorer som kan orsaka matematiksvårigheter.

EG:s fjärde bolagsrättsliga direktiv tillåter att de enskilda medlemsländerna avstår från revision i mindre aktiebolag. Alla medlemsländer förutom Sverige och Malta har tagit fasta på detta. Debatten i Sverige har de senaste åren främst bestått i revisionspliktens vara eller inte vara och olika intressentgrupper har agerat för respektive mot ett avskaffande av revisionsplikten. Intressentgrupperna som främst är i behov av revisionsplikten är samhället och bankerna. Författarna har därför undersökt om avskaffandet av revisionsplikten för små aktiebolag har påverkat eller kommer att påverka bankernas kreditbedömning.

To achieve a working collaboration in a big, complex organization where there are vast requirements on both quality and profitability is not always an easy task. An example of this is the organization that was created in the Swedish railway industry following a series of deregulations during the past 25 years. A partial market in this organization is the railway maintenance. In order to achieve a working collaboration between actors in this organization the so-called Purchaser-provider model (PPM) is presently used for the procurement of rail maintenance projects. Previous research has shown that this market-based instrument has clear positive effects regarding the cost-efficiency but hinders the collaboration.

Våren 2005 förvärvade Föreningssparbanken AB Baltikums marknadsledande bank, Hansabank. Förvärvet innebar en tydlig strategiförändring för FSB då banken tidigare huvudsakligen agerat via en alliansstrategi med ett begränsat ägande. Till följd av denna tydliga strategiförändring har vi funnit det intressant att titta på bankens etableringsprocess i Baltikum. Studiens syfte är att, med utgångspunkt i Rolf Marquardts teori kring bankers etableringsprocesser i utlandet, undersöka hur ett antal nyckelfaktorer påverkat såväl förutsättningarna för, som utformningen av, bankens etablering i Baltikum. De faktorer som undersökts grundar sig i Marquardts undersökningsmodell för svenska bankers internationaliseringsprocess.

The aim with the literature study is to inform about the risks that exists in large dairy farms(with focus on mastitis and hoof health) and to inform about the milk industry in Sweden.Personal comments from two study visits (Nötcenter Viken and Vadsbo Mjölk AB) arelinked together with the literature and forms into a discussion regarding sustainableagriculture versus the milk cow's welfare.The profitability for Sweden's milk farmers have decreased because of the decreased milkprice and current inflation. This leads to an increase in herdsize in order to make a profit.The milk cow herds in Sweden becomes fewer year by year and the herdsize increases. Theincreased herdsize can cause a decrease in the time the farmer spends per animal. This canaffect early disease detection and prolong the animals suffering.Swedish Board of Agriculture published (2008) statistics showing that today's milk cow ismedicated primarily because of two reasons; mastitis or hoof problems. Mastitis is thereason to two thirds of all treatments that are carried out.
