Bakgrund: "There is a war for talent, and it will intensify" skrev McKinsey Quarterly redan 1998 och syftar på den ökade konkurrensen som råder på arbetsgivarmarknaden om talangfull och kompetent personal som kan driva företaget framåt. Vikten av humankapital blir särskilt märkbart i dagens framträdande kunskapsintensiva företag, däribland revisions- och konsultföretagen, samtidigt som demografiska skiftningar gör att trenden går mot ett talangunderskott. Generation Y anses samtidigt vara karriärlystna och aktiva CV-jägare. Därför råder en kamp bland arbetsgivarna i att finna och vinna talangerna bland dessa. Detta kan göras genom utvecklandet av ett starkt arbetsgivarvarumärke och genom att lära känna sin målgrupp och skaffa kännedom om deras motivationsfaktorer och preferenser.Syfte: "Att ur en grupp ekonomstudenter identifiera talangegenskaper och förklara vilka avgörande faktorer som gör en arbetsgivare attraktiv ur de ansedda 'talangernas' perspektiv."Problemformulering: Vilka är nyckelfaktorerna när de ansedda "talangerna" väljer sin framtida arbetsgivare? Metod: Studien har antagit en huvudsakligen kvantitativ forskningsdesign och har en deduktiv inriktning.

De senaste 20 åren har många nya marknads- och managementdicipliner dykt upp och alla har förebådat en ny era av effektivare ledning. Employer branding är en av dem och det finns goda skäl som talar för att den har kommit för att stanna. Fler och fler företag börjar inse att anställda, precis som kunder, gör medvetna val av arbetsgivare. Det går inte längre ta de anställdas engagemang och lojalitet för givet utan det krävs ett mer fokuserat och sammanhängande förhållningssätt för att attrahera rätt sorts människor.Svensk skogsindustri står inför en rad problem och utmaningar som, beroende på hur de tacklas, kommer att bli avgörande för industrins fortsatta utveckling.

This dissertation aims to explore how an investment appraisal differs depending on if it is conducted by a municipal or a private real estate company. Municipal and private real estate companies are not performing on totally equal terms in the property market. A municipal company in Sweden has a public service mission. The consequence due to that mission is that they have limited yield potential but on the other hand the right to certain subsidies. They are also limited by the law of public purchasing (in Swedish: Lag om offentlig upphandling) in the investment process.

Employer branding, eller arbetsgivarvarumärke som det heter på svenska, handlar om att rätt människor ska attraheras, rekryteras och vilja stanna kvar i ett företag. Ett starkt employer brand är något som har blivit allt viktigare för företagen i kampen om värdefulla andelar på marknaden.  Studier har visat att anställda som är engagerade och trivs på sitt arbete också presterar bättre, vilket leder till ökad produktion och lönsamhetsfördelar. Många företag är inte medvetna om eller uppdaterade vad gäller sitt arbetsgivarerbjudande, det vill säga den anledning som arbetsgivaren ger till nuvarande och potentiella anställda att arbeta för denne. Det kan vara svårt att fastställa vilka områden som behöver utvecklas i företaget och vilka målgrupper som bör prioriteras. Tillgängliga mätmetoder för att få klarhet gällande nuvarande employer brand saknas, vilket har bidragit till studiens syfte att skapa ett mätverktyg för att utvärdera ett företags arbetsgivarvarumärke gentemot nuvarande anställda.

1. Reaction on burial depth and nitrogen availability and placement in competition with a crop In this trial it was investigated how couch grass (Elymus repens) changes its ability to compete in stands of wheat and barley with different burial depth and different amounts and placement of nitrogen.

The trial was carried out in the summer of 2004 as an outdoor pot experiment. The pots contained 15 litres of soil with a surface of 0,06 m2.
