Syftet med avhandlingen var att få fram konkreta förslag på hur svenska dagligvaruföretag kan arbeta med Facebook i sin marknadsföring för att öka både befintliga och nya kunders varumärkeslojalitet till företaget.Teorikapitlet innehåller teorier kring ämnena varumärke, märkeslojalitet, kommunikation, Internet, sociala medier och Facebook. Ytterligare information har även samlats in genom intervjuer med tre experter inom sociala medier för att styrka teorierna kring sociala medier.Studien visade att svenska dagligvaruföretag idag inte använder sig av Facebook i dess fulla kapacitet. Genom att använda sig av en kombination av grupper, sidor, applikationer och event kan företag stärka sina kunders varumärkeslojalitet. Det handlar om att använda dessa olika verktyg för att skapa en relation med kunden och en kanal för dialog. Kan företaget sedan besvara kundens frågor och funderingar på ett bra och snabbt sätt genom denna nya mediekanal kan en långvarig relation skapas mellan kunden och företaget som i sin tur leder till varumärkeslojalitet hos kunden. .

The aim of this thesis is to examine the politics and activities of the Social Democratic students´ association Spartakus. Their relationships and political and ideological differences towards the Swedish Social Democratic Party (SAP) and the remaining parts of the Social Democratic youth organisation (SSU) in Linköping during 1969-1971 are examined. To fulfil this aim I have studied relevant literature and interviewed people who were active in Spartakus, as well as people from SSU and SAP in the municipal during the period. I have also studied written material produced by the students´ association itself during the period. The theoretical frame of reference consists of Dahl´s theory on a democratic political order, and party theories like the mass party theory of Duverger, theories from Sjöblom, Panebianco, Lipset and Tingsten and also Gidlund&Möller´s theory about different kinds of party members.

Near Field Communication, NFC, is a short-range wireless communication technology that enables data exchange between devices in a secure way. A NFC phone has the potential to enable the convergence of wallet, phone and keys, but as many other technological innovations, the launch is struggling. We have discovered that technological innovation is only the first step. For an innovation to be adapted, there need to be business model innovation too. Many actors form the ecosystem of NFC and the business model for each service is still an unsolved problem.

Mergers between companies has become more and more common in Sweden and in the rest of the world with the motive to increase the competitive strength in the current markets and has an important role within organisational development of companies. When organisations merger there is not only buildings and objects that are put together but also their individual organisational structures, people, values and cultures. This can be a difficult process and can affect many people in how they think conscious as well as unconscious, feel and react.The purpose of this thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of how employees are affected following a merger when changes in the organisational culture come up, and how these changes are expressed.This thesis is delimited to investigate only one company, Skruf Snus AB and only focus on their business and employees in the region of Stockholm. The thesis contains a qualitative investigation with semi structured interviews that has been carried out with eight employees at Skruf Snus AB. The thesis is partly based on a model of Schein which describes the different levels in organisational culture and partly on some theories about reactions to change in relation to the integration between the employees following a merger.The results of the investigation indicate that with a merger the whole organisational culture is affected and therefore also the employees.

On the 8th of May 2007 a local power-sharing goverment consisting of Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) was formed in Northern Ireland. The aim of this dissertation is to explore why the DUP, who in the past have opposed all forms of power-sharing decided to form a goverment and take active part in a power-sharing agreement. The study is based on a consociational theoretical framework developed by Arend Lijphart and further developed in a Northern Irish context by John McGarry and Brendan O'Leary. Using this theory the study seeks to understand the broad conditions surrounding the DUP's power-sharing. After a description of consociational theory and the road leading up to the Belfast Agreement,three possible explanations for power-sharing, based onconsociational theory are discussed.

Companies in the western world can no longer compete by using traditional means such as product and price since the commerce of services continually grows. To avoid similarity and increase competitive advantages modern companies have to be more specified. The competition between companies has increased and customers are harder to reach. Customers of today can afford luxury but trend indicates that originality, identity, and status are more important than factual needs. Products created and consumed at the same time within the service market are often very homogenous (similar).

Denna undersöknings syfte har varit att utreda när och hur subkulturen klubbkultur växte fram i Malmö, vilka som tog den hit, vad som då definierade kulturen och hur detta skiljer sig från idag.Ytterligare syfte har varit att undersöka hur klubbkulturen som sägs genomsyras av en universal jämlikhet, på olika sätt, såväl inkluderat som exkluderat människor från att delta i den. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med sju aktörer aktiva inom klubbkulturen under det sena åttiotalet och tidiga nittiotalet, men också genom min egen bakgrund som besökare, arrangör och DJ, målar detta arbete med hjälp av muntlig historia, ett kulturanalytiskt perspektiv och med Sarah Thorntons teorier om klubbkultur och subkulturellt kapital upp historien av hur Malmös klubbkultur växt fram samt de viktiga faktorer som definierade den och på vilka sätt kulturen både exkluderade och inkluderade. Resultatet berättar en historia om en ny upprorisk motkultur som under det tidiga nittiotalet utvecklades från att ha varit en brett inkluderande, men samtidigt en underjordisk gör-det-själv-kultur, till att bland annat genom tyst exkludering i form av nischade smakgemenskaper och konsumtionssymboler, utvecklas till en uppdelad kultur som inte bara positionerade sig mot det så kallade mainstreamsamhället utan även mot andra klubbkulturer..

Swedish golf clubs have during the last 100 years had an amazing development and today there are almost 600 000 registered Swedish golf players. The development has however stopped and even declined some during the last couple of years.
