Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda, precisera och analysera innehållet i den förhållandevis okända kontraktstypen outsourcingavtal. Det faktum att outsourcing idag är en vanligt förekommande transaktion gör det både möjligt och angeläget att fånga de gemensamma dragen i outsourcingavtal. Undersökningar visar också att långt ifrån alla som begagnar sig av outsourcing är nöjda med det avtal som reglerar deras affär. Den rättsvetenskapliga ansatsen är därför att belysa denna avtalstyp på samma sätt som mer konventionella avtalstyper, som exempelvis köpavtal, entreprenadavtal och hyresavtal men också mer moderna avtalstyper som franchising och leasing, har behandlats inom doktrinen..

In modern leadership research, leadership is often viewed as a social construction, and under this paradigm various researchers let the media play a central role in constructing leadership. Meanwhile, the question of how the media actors do this is left unanswered. We explore the question of how and why the media construct leadership, from the vantage point of the media actors themselves, and the conditions they work under. Different mechanisms for media construction of leadership are identified in previous research. Through interviews with business journalists at Veckans Affärer, we find recognition for some of the explanatory mechanisms: namely that personification of a CEO facilitates the work of journalists (and sells papers), that personal drama captures reader demand, and that the CEO of a listed company consciously cultivates his or her personal parallel self.

The purpose in this Bachelor degree project has been to create a visual identity and to design a compilation cassette for the small music distributor Kyrkvägen Kassett. My way of approaching the task has been to draw parallells between the cassette as an obsolete music format and more or less abandoned or anachronistic formats, materials and printing methods in the graphic design area. The result is a visual identity that is built upon materials and methods of production rather than specific visual elements. The work is to be seen as a tribute to the small non-profit producers of music and graphic design. As often done in the DIY movement, I chose to consider my lack of practical knowledge in these fields not as an encumbrance but as an asset and an incentive.

In this paper we have examined why seniors do not use e-business to the same extent as other age groups. Seniors belong to the age group that, according to statistics from Statistics Sweden (SCB) in 2011, utilizes e-business the least in relation to the number who use the internet.

When valuing newly-started businesses, surrounded by high uncertainty, and whose capital mostly consists of unrealized business opportunities, the Discounted Cash Flow-model needs to be complemented if the total value of the business is to be captured. A valuation with the help of real options is capable of valuing these unrealized opportunities, which often exist in newly-started businesses. The unrealized opportunities are to be found in the business plan of the business, why this needs to be valued to capture the total value of a newly-started business. Purpose: To demonstrate what the use of real options can result in when valuing businesses.

Tv och radio behöver ständigt utvecklas och hitta nya vägar att producera program på. I denna uppsats tas just ett sådant förslag fram på hur en utveckling skulle kunna se ut. Så kallade ?dubbelsända? program, att sända samma innehåll i två format samtidigt finns idag i en liten skara. Framförallt handlar det då om direktsända musiktävlingar eller olika morgonshower, men det har inte tidigare producerats någon talkshow där formatet för tv och radio är detsamma.
