There are over 100 banks in Sweden. Yet, most people tend to choose one of the top four banks and stay with them. Times are changing, however, and the growth of online-based self service solutions has increased the importance of attracting and retaining customers at an early age. SEB and Swedbank have addressed this issue by introducing bank bundles. Since most banks offer similar services, the packaging and framing of the bundles have become increasingly important.

Efter avregleringen av den svenska kreditmarknaden och bankkrisen ökade antalet banker i Sverige avsevärt med en ökad konkurrens som följd. Den hårdare konkurrensen resulterade i minskade marginaler på traditionella bankprodukter som lönekonto och lån. Flertalet banker har som ett resultat av de minskade marginalerna flyttat fokus från de traditionella produkterna till försäljning av nya och mer lönsamma produkter samt tjänster. Detta nya försäljningsfokus har mött stort motstånd i facktidningen Finansvärlden på grund av den stressfaktor som det medfört. Syftet med denna uppsats är att fastställa banktjänstemäns attityder till personlig försäljning, samt se samband mellan attityderna och bakgrundsfaktorerna kön, ålder, antal studieår utöver gymnasial utbildning, antal år i nuvarande bank och antal år i bankbranschen.

People move between countries and establish connections all over the world. This results in a need to solve problems with cross-border inheritances and partitions of joint property.

This essay focus on work related stress and psychosocial enviroment in working life. The purpose of this study is to present a detailed description of regulation of the the Occupational Safety and Health Act and investigate how well employees are being protected by the law.I will also explain with the help of statistic which employees that most often suffer from work related stress and the results is discussed from a gender perspective.Work related phycosocial health is a big issue in todays workplaces, and people who suffers from stress are supposed to be protecteded by the the Occupational Safety and Health Act, but is that really the truth? The Occupational Safety and Health Act is a frame law, meaning the law is general and needs binding regulations to define the rules, and there is no such act about work related stress at the moment. No employer has ever been convicted for work related stress. At the same time the Occupational Safety and Health Act explains that the employer has a responsibility to take arrangement to prevent mental illness in working life.It?s mostly women who suffer from work related stress.

Sustainability is today a current topic and companies are more or less forced to work with it even though it contradicts the historical role of companies, which is to generate a profit for shareholders. In recent years there has been a rising interest from banks to work with sustainability but research has shown a growing dissatisfaction among customers even though banks are spending a lot of money and time working with sustainability. This shows that there is an asymmetry between how the banks act and what their customers demand. The purpose of this paper is to create an understanding of how business customers perceive banks´ CSR-reports by investigating customers? interest in these reports.

Europaparlamentet och rådets direktiv 2006/43/EG syftar bland annat till en långtgående, men inte fullständig, harmonisering av de minimiregler som styr den lagstadgade revisionen inom EU. Det fjärde bolagsrättsliga direktivet 78/660/EG artikel 51 framhåller att medlemsstaterna har rätt att befria små och medelstora bolag från revision. Delbetänkande SOU 2008:32 angående revisionspliktens avskaffande offentliggjordas den 3 mars 2008. Sammanfattningsvis innehåller delbetänkandet SOU 2008:32 en rad förändringar och genom dessa förändringar kommer problematiken med bankers syn på den reviderade årsredovisningen att ställas på sin spets. Detta då utredningen föreslår att knappt fyra procent av Sveriges 280 000 aktiebolag skall fortsättningsvis omfattas av den lagstadgade revisionsplikten.

Begreppet mångfald diskuteras allt oftare i samhällsdebatten och valet av uppsatsämne kändes därför naturligt. Syftet med vår undersökning var att beskriva etnisk mångfald och integration på två arbetsplatser inom bankvärlden.Undersökningen genomfördes på två banker som aktivt valt att anställa invandrare. Vi använde oss av en kvalitativ metod och halvstrukturerade intervjuer och genomförde totalt tio stycken. Resultaten visade att bankerna befinner sig i ett startskede där det än så länge främst är i rekryteringsprocessen samt inom ramen för kundanpassning som tankar om tillvaratagande av etnisk mångfald återfinns. Det finns även en skillnad vad gäller hur de anställda med utländsk bakgrund integrerats i bankerna.

AbstractThe banking industry has during later years gone through several technological changes (Svenska Bankföreningen 2014). These big changes have led to several advantages seen both from a customer ? and corporate point of view. Advantages in easier usage, increased availability and more competition have made the banks more cost effective at the same time as the customer is being offered better prices. Even though the advantages seem to weigh over the disadvantages there are still those who thinks that things where ?better in the past?.

From July 2005 on, the new Swedish Corporate Governance Code will be applied gradually by companies listed on the stock exchange or any authorized financial market in Sweden. The Code has been drawn up in order to clarify and to improve the self-regulation in Swedish companies. The need for codified self-regulation standards has been considered as urgent due to negative trends on the market such as the last few years? corporate scandals in domestic and international trade and industry. The sought-after consequence is to clarify the mission framework for corporate directors.Ch.

Condictio indebiti innebär att felaktiga betalningar skall gå åter. Banker har emellertid svårt att förlita sig på denna huvudregel. Bankernas centrala ställning i samhället kombinerat med deras uppgift att korrekt förmedla transaktioner, försätter dem i en förtroendeställning. Mottagaren skall kunna lita på att en utbetalning från en bank är korrekt. Bankernas utbetalningar har blivit ett genomgående undantag till principen om condictio indebiti.

In this interview study I have examined eleven Swedish advertisers and professional communicators and their view of ethics in the advertising industry. The purpose of the study was to shed light on how they see their ethical responsibilites, as well as trying to understand how they reason in regard to ethics as a whole. The main research questions regard the distinction between business and economic responsibilities towards their clients and societal ethical responsibilities, which ethical questions are of importance to them, and how they believe the industry should be regulated.The theoretical framework of the study uses media ethics, social responsibility theory, media accountability theory, and stockholder and stakeholder theory as its base. The study was performed using a qualitative method through interviews and the interpretation of these. The results of the study finds that the consulted advertisers have set opinions of what they themselves would decline to work with for ethical reasons, and has also been able to identify five main categories of ethical issues that they attach great importance to.

The Animal Protection Agency was in 2006, commissioned by the Government to: Evaluate how free range animals in the winter, can be kept and managed with special emphasis to animal welfare. The Animal Protection Agency was closed later in 2006 and the commission moved to the Swedish Board of Agriculture.

There is a possibility for farmers that get an exemption from this regulation. But cases regarding farms which have had difficulties for this exemption has led to a discussion about if the animals can get the same protection in the nature which is comparable to a lying- hall.

Småbolag är ofta beroende av att få externfinansiering för att överleva. Den enskilt viktigaste typen av finansiering är lån från bank. Innan en bank lånar ut pengar till bolagen sker en kreditbedömningen där bankerna tar hänsyn till flera olika informationstyper. Informationstyperna som kreditbedömare undersöker kan delas in i tre övergripande sorter. Redovisningsinformation, Information för marknadsbedömning och Information för personbedömning.
