In year 2009, a new housing form (here referred to as "owned apartments", in Swedish called "ägarlägenheter") was introduced in Sweden. Owned apartments are in many countries the dominating form of housing tenure, but in Stockholm, to where this thesis is delimited, only four have been established in four years. There are many possible reasons for this low establishment, but the thesis writers believe the main reason to be that the owned apartment is situated in an organizational gap. With the hypothesis that the owned apartment is situated in an organizational gap and that there are opportunities to overcome this gap through interorganizational collaboration of the players on the market, this thesis strives towards examining if this is the case.By using Burt's theory of structural holes the concept of organizational gaps are elaborated to fit this context, since this area is previously unexplored.The data has mainly been gathered through in-depth interviews but also through secondary sources such as previous theses and newspaper articles. It has appeared that the majority of the central players are characterized by conservatism.

This thesis is divided into two parts. Part one contains a general description of the flexographic printingtechnique. Part two contains a more detailed investigation in the areas substrate, inktransfer and trends, which are only briefly commented in part one, and conclusions and comments.The major problem concerning substrate is washboard. This phenomena can be limited if one can control and minimize the amount of glue applied in the single- and double facer, use high surface weight on liner, use low surfaceweight on fluting and control the humidity during the conditioning of the corrugated board. Corrugated board with a smooth surface radically increases the quality in print.

The recent development in society?s structure has given rise to a more complex reality for the Swedishbanks. There is an increased pressure from external stakeholders for the banks to take a greater socialresponsibility in society; the bank must therefore focus on both direct as well as indirect effects of itsactions. The term corporate social responsibility implies that the company does not only focus on itsfinancial status but also on values such as ethics and environment. These commitments are crystalized,more or less clearly, in the banks? lending policy?s, whom are entirely defined by the banksthemselves.The nature of the abstract CSR expression gives rise to uncertainty, both in regards to the banks ownefforts towards social responsibility but also for the external stakeholders, for which it can be quitedifficult to understand what commitments are actually made.This study aims to investigate how the Swedish banks public statements, with regards to their lendingpolicy, correlates with the actual actions carried out by the banks.

A?r 2007 uppma?rksammades de oegentligheter som fo?rekom i produktionen av de varor som landstingen ko?pte in till den svenska sjukva?rden vilket medfo?rde att landstingen startade ett samarbete runt socialt ansvar i upphandling. Da? CSR fra?mst kopplas ihop med fo?retag i privat sektor, avser denna kvalitativa studie underso?ka hur CSR som ide? har tagits emot i offentlig sektor och hur den har gjorts om fo?r att passa i sin nya kontext. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer och har sedan analyserats med skandinavisk nyinstitutionell o?versa?ttningsteori samt teorin om inramning.

?SAMMANFATTNINGTitel: Corporate Social Responsibility, Hur några svenska storbankers CSR-arbete implementerats på lokal nivå och vilka effekter som orsakats av CSR-arbetet på samma nivå.Kursen: Magisteruppsats i företagsekonomi, FÖA 400, 15 hpFörfattare: Gulafat Guliyeva gga09001@student.mdh.seGeorges Yenga Muhindo gya09001@student.mdh.seSeminariedatum: 2010-09-30Handledare: Esbjörn SegelodNyckelord: CSR, socialt ansvar, företagsetikSyfte: Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur några svenska storbankers CSR- arbete implementerats på lokal nivå. Dessutom vill vi även undersöka vilka effekter som orsakats av CSR-arbetet på det lokala planet.Metod: Data har samlats in via intervjuer styrda av en intervjumall med öppna frågor samt en webbaserade enkät (Survey Monkey).Slutsats: Vi kom fram till att koncernövergripande policies inom CSR-området implementeras på lokal nivå i form av riktlinjer, direktiv och värderingar som lokala kontorschefer tillämpar i sina dagliga verksamheter. Vi har märkt att kreditpolitiken och kreditprocessen är en av viktigaste instrument genom vilka CSR-arbetet implementeras.CSR-dokumenten är viktiga men lider likväl av brister i det att de till vissa delar var obegripliga för några av kontorscheferna. Dessutom har det varit omöjligt att bekräfta någon implementering av huvudkontorets CSR-arbete vid några av de lokala bankkontoren.Vad gäller effekterna har vi för några av bankerna kunnat notera ett positivt eller begränsat genomslag i de områden där de verkar.

The focus of this essay is set on a number of processes that affect the challenges of the tourist trade, to be more precise ? an analysis of the attitudes towards tourism and sustainability within this line of business ? from an ethical and moral as well as social view. These issues are examined with reference to the concept of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). Thus, acquaintance with theories of social constructivism, post colonialism, globalisation and global civil society is essential in order to understand the analysed material. The essay is mainly based on the outcome of qualitative interviews with various kinds of persons working with CSR related questions.

K3-regelverket har ännu inte införts. Det finns därför många frågor kring regelverket, framförallt inom fastighetsbranschen. Två av de största förändringarna i och med K3-regelverket är kraven på komponentavskrivning och upplysning om verkligt värde för förvaltningsfastigheter. Syftet med denna uppsats är att erhålla insikt i och förståelse om hur fastighetsbolag som skall tillämpa K3-regelverket, ser på detta regelverk och hur de tror att de kommer att påverkas av det i samband med införandet av detta.I studien används en induktiv ansats. Det är ett relativt komplext problem som undersöks, och därför används en kvalitativ undersökningsmetodik genom personliga intervjuer.

Bakgrund och Problem: De två ledande normgivningsorganen inom redovisning ivärlden idag är International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) och FinancialAccounting Standards Board (FASB). Intäktsposten i ett företags resultaträkning utgör enbetydande del av de finansiella rapporterna och har under lång tid varit ett problem inomredovisningen. Centrala frågeställningar är när i tiden en intäkt ska redovisas och tillvilket belopp intäkten ska redovisas. IASB och FASB påbörjade år 2002 ett samarbeteför att konvergera intäktsredovisningen som presenterades i ett diskussionsunderlag idecember 2008. Under arbetet med projektet har en balansorienterad syn på intäkterpresenterats vilket innebär att förändringar i tillgångar och skulder blir primärt förerkännandet av en intäkt.

Akademiska Hus owns and manages the university facilities in most university towns in Sweden. Bilbergska house in Örebro was built in 2008 by Akademiska Hus, and designed by White Architects.

Swedish Board of Housing requirements are often vaguely written and interpretation space is large.This report aims to investigate how much of the requirements which are set towards the University and landlord Akademiska Hus are being achieved. This is done by studying the requirements that are set.

Millions of animals are annually affected by human activities; in the food industry, zoos and animal shows, clothes and shoes production, furniture and pharmaceutical industry, research, as well as pet and sports animal industry. Companies working with Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, have become more common and within this area there are great possibilities for companies to work with animal welfare.

The aim of this study was to investigate opinion and approach among companies towards implementing animal welfare as a part of their work with CSR. Furthermore the aim of the study was to investigate how companies may implement animal welfare. The result showed that the vast majority of the companies participating in the study works with CSR and the main part of the companies also answered that they have implemented animal welfare.

In this essay we have been trying to get an understanding of what Swedish charter tourists cares for when they are going on vacation. The Tourism industry is a major field with a lot of winners, but it also comes with consequences. The purpose with this essay is to get an understanding of how aware the Swedish charter tourists is of these consequences. We would also like to get a perception of how the tourists themselves believe that their presence effects the locals at the destinations they are visiting (if they assume that they are). There are several different types of consequences that can appear in the context of tourism, but we have decided to focus on one kind.
