För det första konstaterade jag att det är väldigt svårt att mäta produktivitetsförändringar inom IT-området. Trots svårtigheterna att mäta förändringar var det en som uttryckligen lyckats åstadkomma mer under arbetstiden eftersom intranätet medfört att han kunnat byta ut restimmar mot arbetstimmar. Dessutom kom jag fram till att alla respondenter erhåller mer information än vad de behöver till sina respektive arbetsuppgifter. Situationen är mest akut för människor som är ute och reser mycket, och därför inte har en daglig kontakt till intranätet. Många av intranätanvändarna väljer hellre att ta avstånd från intranätet än att riskera att drabbas av för mycket information.Det är inte många av intranätanvändarna som sitter och letar efter information. Utan hittar de inte informationen på intranätet tar de kontakt med personer som de tror ?sitter med informationen?.

AbstractArtists ? the invisible assets; a qualitative study about the view on music rights and artist brands as intangible assets within music companies.This paper is a study of what view representatives from Swedish music companies have on activating music rights and artist brands as intangible assets. Throughout the paper, a discussion is held regarding what the representatives think about activating these intangible assets. From this, we have identified and analyzed possible pros and cons to such activation.Our interest to this question was brought to us when we realized that most music companies in Sweden have intangible assets without activating them. This is, even though these are their main source of income.

PROBLEM: Kunskap om vad utbildning om utvecklingssamtalet ger för effekter är något som vi anser saknas i den vetenskapliga världen och det är detta vi vill bidra med i denna uppsats. SYFTE: Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva vad ökade utbildningsinsatser till medarbetare kan få för effekter på kvalitén i utvecklingssamtalen. METOD: Då vi arbetar utifrån ett tolkande och beskrivande perspektiv kommer en kvalitativ undersökning att behandlas. Vi är intresserade av att studera indikationer på samband mellan olika begrepp och eftersom inga statistiska samband skall beskrivas anser vi att denna form av studie bör genomföras. Vi ska endast kontakta en organisation vilket gör att vi anser att intervjuer som undersökningsmetod är det mest relevanta att använda.
