Management consulting firms are an important part of the knowledge economy and they capitalize on the analytical ability and knowledge of their employees. Much research have been made on large consulting firms and their management of knowledge, but little is known about how small consultancies manage their knowledge. Even less is known about the management of knowledge in small consultancies specialized in change management. These firms rely solely on senior consultants and focus on the human aspect of organizational development. This thesis aims to show how these firms manage their knowledge and also provide an understanding of why.

This essay describes and compares the extensive reindeer management to the more intensive, but grazing based, sheep management system in Sweden. Differences and similarities between the two production systems will be investigated by elucidating the economy, land use and possibilities to influence production and economy through breeding, feeding and product development. The reindeer management area covers the northern part of Sweden whilst the sheep management is dispersed over the country. Both reindeer and sheep are ruminants and have relatively high demands on the quality and digestibility of the feed however reindeers graze on mountain-and forest lands whilst sheep often graze inaccessible areas or cultivated grasslands. Selection intensity is generally lower in the reindeer management compared to the intensity in sheep breeding.

Adherence to medical ordination is low and for long-time medication it is estimated to be as low as 50 percent. Depending on the prescribed drug this could lead to adverse effects and/or loss of effect of the drug. Information about why a drug is prescribed is important patient information and is thought to help increase compliance with the physician?s prescription. According to results from a recent study of visits to the emergency room at Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset in Solna, Stockholm, medically related problems were the cause in about 30 percent of the cases.

Corporate responsibility is a popular phenomenon of today. The interest for the subject is extensive and means for implementing corporate responsibility strategies within organizations are demanded. There are studies showing how management control systems can be used in order to implement general strategies into organizations. Still, management control systems designed for the implementation of corporate responsibility strategies, in particular, are not provided by the current academia. The aim of this paper is to contribute to studies within management control systems by studying the management control system specifically designed to implement corporate responsibility strategies.

Denna rapport behandlar det animationsarbete som jag gått igenom för att försöka skapa så trovärdiga och dynamiska animationer som möjligt till spelet Colosseum: Code of Hammurabi och dess nya omarbetade stridssystem. Jag har utgått från ett relativt sparsmakat designdokument som i princip bara förklarar kortfattat hur spelmekaniken ska fungera på en grundläggande nivå samt en animationslista på animationer som ska finnas i spelet. Spelet ska i slutändan innehålla 3 olika vapenstilar men på grund av tidsbrist har jag valt att fokusera på en av dess, nämligen kampstilen för strid med tvåhandssvärd. Först har jag analyserat det gamla stridssystemet för att ha en grund att stå på, för att bland annat se vilka brister mitt tidigare arbete präglats av. Utifrån diverse referenser som behandlar medeltida stridkonst inom nyss nämnda kampstil har jag hämtat det mesta av inspirationen och följaktligen kryddat dessa jordnära anvisningar med mina egna idéer samt ett antal fightingspel med spektakulära kontexter och även försökt dra nytta av det material som finns i kampsportsfilmer.

Många befintliga järnvägsbroar i Sverige närmar sig sin beräknade livslängd. Det finns också en önskan att öka tåglasterna, antalet tågöverfarter och tåghastigheterna för att klara dagens och framtidens behov. För att inte behöva riva fullt fungerade broar bör bärighetsutredningar ge resultat som stämmer väl överens med verkligheten. Med dagens betongnormer kan utmattning bli den dimensionerande faktorn, trots att få fall av brott har observerats i broar av armerad betong på grund av utmattning. Detta examensarbete jämför tre utmattningsmodeller på två plattrambroar av armerad betong belastade med järnvägstrafik, en från 1972 och en från 1995.

In the present thesis, we have studied the management control system in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, one of Stockholm?s municipal districts, with focus on theories about New Public Management (NPM). When NPM was introduced, a number of complications arose. Some of these, along with the district?s solutions of the complications, are described and analyzed using e.g.

In a recently published official Report from the Swedish Government (SOU 2010:73) a leg- islative proposal has been introduced. Its main purpose is to prevent parallel registrations of ships that are bareboat chartered to other countries. The legislative proposal claims that by preventing parallel registration of ships the Swedish Maritime Code will better corre- spond with the UN convention on the law of the sea.The UN convention on the law of the sea clearly states that ships are forbidden to fly two flags. There is however no restriction concerning parallel registration, simultaneously, in two registers. A ship that is bareboat chartered out from Sweden does not fulfil criteria re- quired in order to be deregistered, according to the Swedish maritime code.

With 25 countries being members of the European Union, travelling and working in other countries has become significantly easier. But what happens when one culture meets another one in a work situation? More specifically, what happens when French and Swedish cultures meet? Would a Swedish manager lead his team in the same way as a French one would?My question is: What is management philosophy like in Sweden and France? Do the two philosophies resemble? And if not, in what ways do they differ?The purpose of this essay is to find out, by looking at the material used at management courses, what the Swedish management philosophy really is. And then look at whether there are any similarities between this philosophy and the French one. The idea is to examine how management is being taught in both countries, by looking at what management litterature is used at some of the highest ranked management schools in Sweden and France.There have been numerous ethnological studies concerning nationality and cultural behaviour, one of the most important ones is the study done by Hofstede.

The aim of this report is to investigate, on the basis of two consult agencies perspectives, what the possibilities and obstacles are to integrate the work with antagonistic and accident related risks. The report is based on two consult agencies where each agency´s work procedure is represented by a risk management method. The work with accident related and antagonistic risks is analysed and evaluated compared to four different components. The components are risk management process (IEC´s and FEMA´s model), driving forces, education and competence, and resources to control risk management with COSO?´s ERM framework.
