The current study aimed to test the public self-consciousness impact on creative performance. An experimental design was used in which 40 participants were randomly assigned to two groups, one of which was the experimental group and the other was the control group. A mirror was used in the experimental group to induce public self-consciousness among the participants while they performed creativity tests. A consequence test was used where the participant had to give suggestions for the given scenario "What would happen if everyone became blind?" which was then measured in the number of proposals (fluency).

Slutsatsen efter genomfört arbetet är att Örebro Bostäder AB bland annat har en önskvärd image av Vivalla som ett område med en unik och personlig omgivning med mindre individuella bostadsområden där det finns något för alla smaker. I Markbacken vill Öbo behålla och förstärka en image av variation, där allt från barnfamiljer till den som söker ett lite mer exklusivt boende skall lockas. Vidare har undersökningen visat att dessa önskvärda imager främst förmedlas via mun till mun-metoden, massmedia, samhälleliga åtgärder och events..

There is consensus in research, policy, business and many other areas around the benefits of creativity. Previous research shows that creativity is only spurred under certain conditions. Usually creativity is not associated with concepts such as control, deadline or cost effectiveness. Companies, by contrast, have the need for control and management of their operations, which implies that the two processes can be difficult to reconcile. A company that wants a high creativity while maintaining control and management is forced into a series of organizational compromises.

The cellular market is today suffering from great customer dissatisfaction. Simultaneously, the services offered by the different cellular providers are very homogenous, causing strict competition where various price strategies have been the main mean of battle.

Social Marketing kampanjer syftar till att genomföra en beteendeförändring hos allmänheten genom användning av olika typer av informationskampanjer.Syftet med denna studie är att ta fram en modell med hjälp av en sammanställd litteraturgenomgång inom social marketing och genom denna sammanställning se vad som utmärker en framgångsrik och en mindre framgångsrik social marketing kampanj. Studien baseras på en kvalitativ undersökning. Det har genomförts en intervju med respektive representant för Rosa Bandet-kampanjen och Mustaschkampen samt en granskning av tidigare datainsamling. Kampanjerna är utformade efter liknande strategier och mål vilket gör att kampanjerna är lika när det kommer till utformningen. Trots att utformningen av de båda kampanjerna är lika har mottagningen av respektive kampanj sett väldigt olika ut.Utifrån studiens resultat kan man utläsa att Mustaschkampens utförande av kampanjen innehåller ett antal bristande val vilket har bidragit till att genomslagskraften sett olika ut för de båda kampanjerna.
