En studie om kompetensutveckling av personal i medelstora företag..

By studying the forms of work and methods teachers choose for their teaching on the Business and Administration Programme and by examining the experiences gained by these teachers, I hope to gain a clearer insight into how the demands of national policy/governing documents are met in the actual teaching of the courses within the programme. In my qualitative study,teachers in a team from a Business and Administrative Programme have been my informants. The team combines multiple forms of work and methods in line with the intentions of the national policy/governing documents. Students usually have an unbroken school day with block teaching where they work with case studies and interdisciplinary  work. Morals and ethics are integrated in class.

Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att utifrån en teoretiskt underbyggd studie av relationen mellan identitetsskapande processer och konflikter analysera den transformativa medlingsmetoden i anslutning till identitetsteori och specifikt undersöka vad Margaret Archers teoribildning kan tillföra förståelsen.Hur definieras konflikter, och konflikters mekanismer och möjliga lösning enligt transformativ medling? Hur utvecklas identiteten hos individer och vilken roll har konflikter för människors identitetsskapande processer?Vilken förståelse och teoretiska underbyggnad finns i den transformativa medlingens metod när det gäller förståelse av människors identitetsskapande processer i samband med konfliktupplevelser?En analytisk retroduktion utifrån Margaret Archers (2002) teoribildning gällande identitetsskapande processer och Goffmans (1955, 1967) teoribildning gällande begreppet face, i relation till Transformativ medlings teoribildning av Joseph P. Folger och Robart A. Baruch Bush (2010)., samt informativa intervjuer med tre professionellt verksamma medlare som använder sig utav transformativ medling.Transformativ medlings teoribildning bygger på ett identitetsarbete men har inte utvecklat teorin i anslutning till identitet. Studien visar att denna del kan stärkas genom att tillföras förståelse gällande identitetsskapande processer och konflikt utifrån Archer (2002) och Goffman (1955, 1967)..

Jag har studerat det fenomen som i teorin kallas för kanalkonflikter. Jag har genomfört en kvalitativ undersökning. Undersökningen har utformats genom intervjuer på 4 oberoende företag av skiftande storlek. Teoriavsnittet innehåller teorier om marknadsföringsstrategier, e-commercestrategier samt kanalkonflikter. Analysen har skett genom att jag har jämfört teori med empiri.

This thesis focuses on the driver?s experience of the road and its surroundings. ?The view from the road? takes place every day and a high-quality ?road experience? is therefore a question of importance. Since cars made their breakthrough in the 1920-30, the approach to ?the driver experience? has varied notably.

Bakgrund: Aktuell forskning visar att sjuksköterskors tid för administrativa uppgifter ökar och att tiden för den patientnära omvårdnaden blir allt mindre. Syfte: Att undersöka sjuksköterskans patientnära tid, tid avsatt för dokumentation och annat administrativt arbete i jämförelse med opublicerad data från 2007. Metod: Åtta strukturerade observationer med kvantitativ forskningsansats genomfördes 2011 på samma ortopediska avdelning och med samma metod, som vid observationerna 2007. Resultat: Sjuksköterskornas patientnära tid 2011 visade sig ha minskat i jämförelse med 2007, även tid för dokumentation i patientjournalen hade minskat något. Vid en summering av annat administrativt arbete sågs en ökning från 49,9 % 2007 till 59,8 % 2011 av den totala arbetstiden.

Att ta reda på de kriterier som en kompetent arbetstagare anser vara viktiga när han eller hon söker sig till ett visst företag, samt de resonemang som de för kring dessa. Vi vill även ta reda på vad företagen erbjuder kompetent arbetskraft, för att tillsammans med arbetstagarnas svar se om detta kan ha några följder för personalsammansättningen..

Information stored on unprotected computers that gets lost or stolen, and falls intothe wrong hands, can easily be accessed by moving the hard disk to a controlledcomputer, or by booting the computer from a removable medium, in order to getaround the operating system login. This is something that largely affects companieswhere customer information, trade secrets and other sensitive information can becompromised. A classic solution to the problem is encryption of individual files, but ithas some drawbacks as it puts a great responsibility on the users and unencryptedinformation can be left by mistake. A better solution to the problem is transparentencryption of the entire hard disk, i.e. that encryption and decryption of informationis performed automatically and without the user being affected.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur omsättning och rörelseresultat har samband med företagets kapitalstruktur. Resultaten jämförs med befintlig teori för att verifiera de teoretiska ansatserna. Regressionsanalys av tidsserier för 32 svenska börsnoterade företag med mer än 20 miljarder svenska kronor i omsättning 2010 har använts vid den här undersökningen. Data från åren 2004 till 2010 till varje företag är tagen från databasen ?Affärsdata? och undersöks genom regressionsanalys. Först undersöks varje år och företag för sig.

The elderly care is an area of great importance to women. Women are more often in need of elderly care; they work with the service and provide a majority of the informal service. Research shows that managers? work-related prerequisites are significantly different between the male dominated technical administration and the female dominated care and educational administration. Studies also show that what the highest managerial organisation gives priority to, often permeate the whole organisation.

This report was undertaken at the request of the Management and maintenance department of Swedish National Road Authority (Vägverket Region Sydöst) in Jönköping.In 1992, the management and maintenance of Swedish roads were laid out on external constructors. When putting out a tender for the work, the foundation is from a national set of rules which are in constant change. This report is limited to winter road upkeep.The trend in the invitation for tenders is that it is moving from the more conventional executional demands towards the less controlling demands. The downside of functional, less controlling demands is that it is difficult to articulate how to measure them. The order authority therefore has to find ways to make sure to get what has been paid for.In connection to the invitation for tender of winter road upkeep for 2005, the new set of rules, ATB Vinter 2003 was deployed.The main purpose of this thesis is to see which the big changes in the set of rules are and how these changes affect the organisation and activities of the constructor.It is also studied how the changes in execution is perceived by road users and how it affects the possibilities of the constructor to come as a newcomer to a new area of administration.Interviews and examination of sets of rules has led to a list of a number of changes that the constructors feel affect their work in any sense.Views from road users that have come in to the order authority have been scrutinized to see how they have experienced the change.

As the globalization progresses, the matters of transfer pricing have become essential to multinational enterprises and tax administrations. For states it is important that the transfer pricing is correct to defend their tax base. Incorrect transfer pricing can also have dire effect on the enterprises. They run the risk of both double taxation and tax penalties. Some of the most difficult assets to put a transfer price on are intangibles.

Information technology (IT) with its enormous capacity involves more and more in our daily activities and public sector is using IT to make their activities more efficient. The government goal with electronic government (e-government) among other things is increasing the availability and service to the public as well as improving the democratic process. Democracy can be strengthened by involving citizens in public decision making process but this goal has not been achieved yet and the development of e-government has mostly been focused on improving efficiency within administration and electronic services (e-services). Promoting the democratic process has been postponed in the development of e-government because of the lack of political commitment and decision. Digital divide is also preventing public sector to promote democracy with the support of IT.

Hur hanterar vi gamla industrilokaler där industrierna gått ur tiden men byggnadsstrukturerna finns kvar? Projektet utforskar arkitektoniska strategier där enkla tygstrukturer ger stor rumslig effekt - mellanrummet mellan nytt och gammalt undersöks. Platsen är Gustavsberg och den gamla Hushållsporslinsfabriken med ett nytt program där Allt är möjligt-hus i Cirkus Cirkörs regi ingår.

Master thesis in business administration, School of business administration, Linnaeus University, accounting, 4FE03E, Spring 2011.Authors: Linda Åslund and Shirin Yousef.Supervisor: Professor Sven-Olof Yrjö CollinExaminer: Christopher von KochTitle: The Swedish code of good governance ? Who finds it useful? Background: Corporate governance has emerged to maintain the stockholders interests in corporations where the owners are separated from control in order to create confidence in the corporations. In 2005 the Swedish code of good governance emerged to prevent in part additional corporate scandals from happening and to make sure that the board is acting in the interest of the owners. The code is a complement to the Swedish Companies Act since it has a more strict demand in certain areas but it gives the companies a possibility to deviate by either complying or explaining their actions.Purpose: The purpose with this thesis is to examine who finds the Swedish code of good governance useful.Method: The research method of this survey is quantitative where the purpose is to investigate deviations in the companies? corporate governance reports.
