I denna uppsats undersöks begreppet outsourcing och tillika möjligheter samt begränsningar i ett företag som tillverkar egna produkter och som är verksam inom IT-branschen. Vi har även skapat en ny modell för att analysera, förbereda och utföra outsourcing för produkttillverkande IT-företag. Modellen består av tre faser: analys fas, förberedande fas och utförande fas. Genom kvalitativ fallstudie på ett IT-företag, tillämpar vi den nya modellen för outsourcing..

Companies use different forms of representation to promote business negotiations. The regulations for the right to deduction for the cost of representation are stated in Chapter 16 section 2 of the Swedish Income Tax Act (IL). According to the law there must be an im-mediate connection between the expenditure and the business practice and the claimed de-duction must be reasonable. The Swedish tax authority publishes general recommendations regarding representation which are used as guidelines for the tax payer to follow. The gen-eral provision about tax deduction can be found in Chapter 16 section 1 of the Swedish In-come Tax Act (IL), stating that expenses to acquire or retain income shall be deductible.

The corporate opportunity doctrine constitutes a prohibition for the directors and officers of a company to pursue for themselves any opportunity which falls within the scope of the corporation?s business. In Swedish law the doctrine has not yet seemed to attract any greater attention. This doctrine has been the focus of a multitude of cases in a both American and English law, however mainly in the America law. Therefore, the American legal framework can serve as guidance in trying to define the doctrine as it has developed, or perhaps more correctly not developed, in national law.The perhaps most crucial question to be answered in the area of corporate opportunities is how the law indentify an opportunity as a ?corporate? one.

This master thesis has been written in collaboration with Science Park Jönköping and is based on a problem related to corporate innovation. Science Park Jönköping believes that there is an untapped potential in existing industry in the form of ideas that are never commercialized. These theories are also supported in the research in which other authors have perceived that the ideas and inventions which do not belong to the core business risk ending up in drawers. If more of these ideas could be spin-offs or other forms of enterprise instead of staying in the drawers it would lead to growth, both for companies and for the society in large.The purpose of the thesis work is to, based on the case Science Park Jönköping, analyze how science parks and incubators can support the commercialization of ideas that derive from industry, who otherwise had been left lying. The work began with a mapping of the Science Park Jönköping operations and the skills they possess, and then other initiatives that aim to commercialize more ideas from companies were examined.

Forces of innovation alter the course of many industries. Currently there is a restructuring of the Swedish energy sector due to deregulation. This in combination with advanced technologies generates an innovative and a highly changeable environment. The result is differentiation of services and products. New actors are emerging and corporations grow larger.

Att genom studier på byggbranschen i Sverige lämna ett bidrag till den idag aktuella debatten kring kvartalskapitalism på börsen. En kvalitativ studie genomförd på tre fallföretag inom byggbranschen. Vi finner inget stöd för att företagen i vår studies investeringar har någon påverkan på utdelningsnivåer. Orsaken till detta tycks bero på att den finansiella ställningen under åren i studien varit god nog att möjliggöra bådadera..

The swedish law of contract is fundamental within several civil law areas, among others labour law. The labour law contains more explicit legislation specificly adapted to the relation between employers and employees. Sometimes the labour law needs to rely on more general regulations, such as the law of contract. When the situation contains a specific contract relation dilemma it is logical to use the law of contract, when for example the law of employee protection does not reach an acceptabel solution.Transfer of undertaking is a situation were the employee protection is disregarded. The Euro directive 2001/23/EG prescribes, by its implemented rules in the law of employee protection, that rights and duties, such as employement agreements, passes on to the earner of the business.

Att självskadebeteende är ett fenomen som förekommer hos kvinnor står klart för många av oss. Det är den bilden vi möter i den samhälleliga debatten och i media. Vi som uppsatsförfattare blev nyfikna på huruvida självskadebeteende även förekommer hos unga män och efter ett digert granskande av tidigare forskning stod det klart för oss att så var fallet. Varför talas det då aldrig om denna sida av problematiken? Är denna typ av ohälsa bland unga män ett okänt fenomen även hos professionella? Syftet med vår studie är att genom en diskursanalys bringa klarhet i varför unga mäns självskadebeteende osynliggörs vilket vi anser att det görs.

Through the lenses of religion?s role in society, the purpose of this thesis is to examine, the role of the Church of Sweden in providing support to people at the end of life. Questions asked are:  "What types of spiritual support is offered by the Church of Sweden during terminal care provided in patients' homes and how is this support expressed in church orders, assembly instructions, plans of operations and congregation letters?" and " How can the work of the Church of Sweden be understood, based on theories of religion's role in society? The method used is a content analysis of the Church Order, assembly instructions, plans of operations and congregation letters in 17 different congregations within the diocese of Lund. I then engage in a discussion with theories on differentiation and the privatization of religion as a means to interpret my results.
