Hur kan organisationer gå från att vara samlare av informtion till att bli nyckeltalsanalytiker? : En fallstudie på Trafikverket

In 1993 the internal market within the European Union was formed and ensured free movement of goods, services, capital and people.

In 2001 Greece joined the collaboration and introduced the euro.

Välfärd i ekologisk och konventionell grishållning :

Think global, act local!? : Hur ett svenskt företag går till väga för att skapa ett enhetligt budskap i olika kulturer

An uncountable number of companies are present in foreign markets as a result of what we commonly choose to call globalization.

Researchers have found that companies that establish on foreign markets will have to deal with competitors on the national as well as on the global market, and therefore need consider how they globalize their brands. In addition to this, a brand can only reach international success if its message is coherent within and across every single market.

This essay studies the relationship between politicians and municipal chief officers from the point of view of the bureaucracy and its role in democracy and the substance of the chief position. I conducted interviews and observations with politicians and senior officials from the local public administration in Bromölla.
