Uppförandekoder : En studie i hur tre företag arbetar med etiska riktlinjer

 Sammanfattning Datum: 2009-05-29 Nivå: Magisteruppsats i ekonomistyrning, 15 högskolepoängFörfattare:Magdalena Stål, Födelseår: 1982, Bostadsort: Västerås                                Marina Vokbus, Födelseår: 1982, Bostadsort: VästeråsHandledare: Leif CarlssonTitel: Uppförandekoder - En studie i hur tre företag arbetar med etiska rikt­linjerSyfte:  Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera varför de undersökta företagen enligt respondenterna upprättar en uppförande­kod och vilka etiska principer koden baseras på. Vidare är syftet att studera vilka områden uppförande-koden omfattar, vad företagen fokuserar mest på samt vad de gör för att efter­leva sin uppsatta uppförandekod.Metod: Undersökningen bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod där primär­data studerades i form av insamlat intervjumaterial. Tre företag inter­vjuades angående deras arbete kring etiska riktlinjer. De företag som undersöktes var Atlas Copco, The Body Shop och Samhall.Slutsatser: Anledningen till att de undersökta företagen upprättar en uppförande­kod skiljer sig åt. Atlas Copco ser det som en möjlighet till affärer och långsiktig lönsamhet, för The Body Shop ingår det i den ursprung­liga affärsidén att utföra goda gärningar och Samhall har som ett statligt ägt företag krav på sig att leva upp till uppsatta mål.

Kassa system? : En användarcentrerad designstudie av kassagränssnitt för The Body Shop

I denna magisteruppsats har kassagränssnittet som används på kosmetikkedjan The Body shop utvärderats med avseende på hur det stödjer säljarna i sitt arbete.

Studien har genomgått tre faser där den första, ?Undersökningen?, syftade till att undersöka vilken typ av kognitiv belastning säljarna utsätts för. Detta studerades genom att säljare intervjuades och observerades under användning av det befintliga kassasystemet.

Powerful states have shosen to act outside of the organization to achieve their goals. They have furthermore a disproportionate influence on the decision-making body, the Security Council.The aim of this essay is to examine wheather UN can function productively as keeper of the international peace and security in the political climate of today, and to find out to what extent the powerful states harm the organization. I use a theoretical article, concerning states relations to international organisations, to analyse the acts of powerful states in UN.

Fysisk förbättring utan svettning

The last decades the increased computerisation at the places of work has led to new physical loads in the working life and new demands on the working environment. The widespread usage of computers in the working life has led to more sedentary work and less daily movement.The purpose of the thesis is to develop a new product to a concept that in a low intensive and healthy promotional way will activate the body. The product will make a combination of healthy promotion activity and work during office hours possible and primary aims to those with a sedentary office work, which leads to that the body don´t get to be activated in the extent needed.Information has been gathered from studies already made in this area, interviews plus a study and an experiment. From the gathered information concepts and functional solutions has been generated and evaluated to result in a product concept.The thesis has resulted in a concept that consists of a work place unit where the user walks on a treadmill and works at the same time.A general conclusion which can be drawn is that the majority of persons that tested to walk and simultaneously work with a computor on the treadmill found this way of working attractive. Many were positively surprised and said that they would use such an physically activating work place implement if it was available at their place of work..

During the last decade of the twentieth century both ?manhood? and gender studies seems to have undergone changes. With the field of masculinity and the critical studies of men, added as ?subsections? of broader gender studies, new knowledge has been produced to better grasp the production of gender and power relations of patriarchy. During the same decade as the ?metrosexual? first appeared of the urban stage, acts of homophobia and attitudes towards ?manhood? seems to have changed.

Hur arbetar kosmetikaföretag med CSR? : - En jämförelse mellan The Body Shop och Oriflame

Många företag integrerar idag en social och miljömässig aspekt i sin verksamhet, utöver vad som krävs enligt lag. Det har blivit viktigare för företag att visa sitt engagemang för att gynna hållbar utveckling samt att se till att människor behandlas på ett sätt som anses etiskt rätt. Detta i och med att företagens intressenter, till exempel kunder och aktieägare, blivit allt mer medvetna och ställer större krav. Att arbeta med ett sådant ansvarstagande kallas för att arbeta med Corporate Social Responsibility, vilket förkortas CSR. CSR-arbete förekommer bland annat inom kosmetikabranschen där det miljömässiga, sociala och etiska ansvaret står i fokus, men även det ekonomiska är viktigt eftersom företaget också har ett ansvar gentemot sina aktieägare.

Virtuell hållfasthetsprovning av en turistbuss

The competitive nature of the automotive industry has always implied a necessity to improve product development concerning time-to-market, cost and product quality. As capacity of computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools has evolved, so has the strive for simulation-driven design. Virtual durability testing using full vehicle models is one of many challenges posed in front of vehicle manufacturers when computer simulations are given a key role in product development.This thesis has been initiated as a preliminary step towards implementing dynamic virtual durability testing in the development of buses and coaches at Scania. The objective has been to assess the predictability of a full vehicle coach model and to what level of precision structural loads can be predicted. Previously performed proving ground testing of a Scania Touring coach has been the basis for the modelling and simulations in this thesis.A virtual model of the Scania Touring coach has been created in multi-body simulation software package MSC.Adams.
