Working with health-management has become something most organizations would describe as essential for being legitimate today. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how this subject is handled in an existing company and how this work is percieved by the employees in the organization. Due to the fact that limited research has been conducted on this issue, we see this thesis as a potential for increasing the understanding of how health management is articulated in practice. Our results show that health management in our studied organization is far reaching in comparison with most organizations, but has room for improvement according to the Integral Theory. The consequence of differences in perceptions between management and employees could result in that health management does not become an integral part of the company and its daily operations to the potential extent..

Denna rapport syftar till att reda ut begreppet mobil direktreklam samt att genom en marknadsundersökning ta reda på om det för Stadiums kunder finns något intresse att ta del av erbjudanden och information om olika händelser genom SMS-meddelanden. Det är tänkt att denna information kan variera beroende på vilket område medlemmen befinner sig i, det vill säga riktad lägesbunden direktreklam. För vår marknadsundersökning så utfördes både en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ undersökning, detta för att ge både bredd och djup till undersökningen. Tanken är att förbättra marknadsföringen för de kunder som är medlemmar i StadiumCard genom att de ska kunna erbjudas mobil direktreklam från det specifika område de befinner sig.En annan viktig hörnsten i detta examensarbete var skaffa sig kunskap om och redogöra för vad en IT-tjänst är samt att klarlägga vad begreppet mobilitet innebär.På den plattform som vi tilldelats att utveckla en SMS-tjänst på är det idag möjligt att positionera mobiltelefonanvändare inom ett visst område men det är komplicerat och kan bara utföras på sådant sätt att det inte är ekonomiskt försvarbart. Vi kommer därför endast utveckla en prototyp för en SMS-tjänst som skickar ut erbjudanden till alla de kunder, var de än befinner sig, som valt att delta i SMS-tjänsten.Stadium marknadsför sig idag främst genom adresserad reklam till sina medlemmar och direktreklam via post.

As self-service technologies become more common in service provisions, a deeper understanding is needed of how customer satisfaction is affected by automated service encounters. Drawing from theories of customer satisfaction, human interaction, and the dynamics of complex service provisions, the differences between automated and interpersonal service encounters in the initial part of a service provision are examined in terms of customers? evaluation of the service encounter itself, overall satisfaction, as well as the service encounter?s impact on global evaluations and evaluations of other non-dependant service encounters. The study was performed on people travelling by air on Swedish domestic routes. Passengers were asked to evaluate the airline?s performance on different attributes of the air travel they had undertaken, as well as to form an overall evaluation of the service.

We find this topic to be relevant since there are no previous studies conducted concerning the customers influence on the brand image. Our ambition has been to describe in what ways and to what extent the customer can affect and influence the brand image by communicating with other customers. To fulfill our purposed we have targeted three important questions which are:? In which ways can the customer affect the communicated image of a brand?? To what extent can the customer influence the brand image and the perceived value?? Who has control over the brand, the customer or the company?For this study we have used a qualitative approach in which we have conducted eight personal interviews with brand consultants and the editor of the magazine Dagens Media which has given us the foundation for our analysis.

As IT service departments in organisations are becoming more complex and customised, the indirect costs are increasing in relation to the total costs. The difficulty of fully estimating and identifying the spread of the cost in the IT service department is increasing. As a result, firms tend to budget the business unit as a total cost rather than as a spread of defined costs. In order to deal with this challenge an ABC calculation will be applied. The Time Driven ABC model will be conducted in OMX´s Servicedesk unit within the IT services.

The aim of this dissertation is the production of a landscape management document to protect and improve elements of biological, cultural and economic value found within the site at Tosthult.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how people with insecure employment affect the psychological contract in the perspective of workers' experience. The questions in this study were: how does a person with insecure employment perceive the psychological contract and what consequences dose an insecure employment have on the psychological contract. The study was a qualitative method with semi-structured interviews. The results showed that the absent relationship that existed between the participants and the employer was assumed to be affected by insecure employment. The result revealed that one of the consequences was falling confidence and less support to the employer as an effect of insecure employment and psychological contract.

This study investigates how performance management in primary schools can facilitate learning, relating to theories of efficient schools. This is done through a qualitative study of the performance management systems in two public primary schools in Sweden. The schools selected were similar in all major aspects, except pupil grades, where there was a clear difference between the schools. The analysis revealed differences in how the schools handled the process of management by objectives, the professional development of teachers as well as routines, rules, and policies. We conclude that having a rooted process for management by objectives, professional development of teachers, and clearly formalized values, gives a school a good foundation to support a pupil's learning and development..
