Our starting point has been to examine how a project manager without knowledge of the industry is able to plan a project. And also which difficulties that may arise. A qualitative study was conducted at project managers who worked in the construction industry and events industry. Seven interviews were conducted, four in the construction sector and three in the events industry. Respondents are active as project manager in Värmland and Närkes counties.

BAKGRUND: Bakgrunden beskriver det förändrade kunskapsbehov som samhället nu genomgår och hur lärare i skolans verksamhet hanterar och förhåller sig till detta. Kritiskt förhållningssätt, elevernasmedieanvändning och begränsningar som kan förekomma är andra delar som behandlas.SYFTE: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur sju lärare i årskurs 4-6 tolkar begreppet digital kompetens och hur de arbetar med digital kompetens i sin undervisning. Ett bisyfte är att undersöka om lärarna tror att de kommande styrdokumentens riktlinjer kring digitalkompetens kommer att förändra deras undervisning, och i så fall påvilket sätt.METOD: Metoderna som använts i studien är self report och delvis strukturerade intervjuer. Vi valde att lämna ut våra self reports först för att låta respondenterna associera fritt angående begreppet digitalkompetens utan påverkan från oss. När vi samlat in svaren formulerade vi individuella frågor utifrån dessa och följde sedan uppdem med delvis strukturerade intervjuer för att få en fördjupad kunskap om lärarnas åsikter.RESULTAT: Studien visar att lärare är positivt inställda till att integrera digitala medier i undervisningen.

This report deals with activities that from a CSR perspective are considered to create a shared value for a medium-sized construction company in Sweden. The CSR definition used in the report is the European Commission?s since it reflects the valuecreating aspects of CSR, in contrast to the traditional philanthropic aspect of CSR.Companies in the building construction industry have difficulties identifying activities that create value in society and in the company. The aim with the project is to, from a CSR perspective, identify and evaluate value creating activities in a building construction company. The activities will be evaluated with respect to competitiveness and how they can be implemented into an organization.

The case study we conducted describes market for transmission of terrestrial digital TV. The purpose of this study is to find out what hinders potential entrants from entering the market as well as to discuss possible competitive strategies for potential entrants. Our conclusion is that even though the market for transmission of terrestrial digital TV can be viewed as attractive due to its fast growth, there are barriers to entry that block companies we identified as potential entrants from entering the market. The industry experience of the current market players (Teracom and Boxer) along with their knowledge of the consumers and the fact that Teracom is a multi-business company are some of the factors to be taken into consideration. Switching costs is the most important barrier to entry for the industry.

The construction industry has not undergone the same logistical development as the manufacturing industry; this, in combination with increased material price, leads to the fact that the construction industry must be improved. This master thesis is a part of the research cooperation Brains & Bricks goal of reducing production costs for the construction sector by 25 percent. Brains & Bricks is a cooperation between Linköping University, Peab and Katrineholms municipality. The master thesis aims to identify improvements in the flow of material, the Supply chain operation reference, SCOR, model has been used and the work has been carried out on one of Peab?s construction sites. At present the business is characterized by bad communication both between the construction site and the office as well as between the construction site and suppliers.

Main actors of the Stockholm?s construction financing market were of major interest for this study. On this regard, the relationships and ramifications of this group were investigated by using a qualitative and quantitative research method.

Globaliseringen och den ökade konkurrensen ställer större krav på företagen vilket har medfört att arbetet med logistik har utvecklats från att enbart förknippas med transporter av varor till att idag förknippas med effektiva flöden inom hela försörjningskedjan. Flödena inom försörjningskedjan består av material-, betalnings- och informationsflöden, där det finns en stark koppling mellan alla tre. En väsentlig skillnad mellan de tre flödena är att materialflöde och betalningsflöde representerar kapitalbindning i motsats till informationsflöde som inte hanterar ett direkt ekonomiskt värde. Det bidrar ofta till att informationsflödet förbises i effektiviseringsprocesser. Eftersom ett informationsflöde kan stå för avgörande indirekta värden är det en viktig pusselbit för att försörjningskedjan skall kunna nyttja sina resurser optimalt.

Close to the city center of Reykjavik lies the combined national- and university library of Iceland. Usually, these two types of institutions are separated. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how the library in fact selects the new digital material to offer the users in Iceland, and if the combined mission creates any problems or conflicts.The investigation examines the planning and the content of the digital library, what user groups are addressed and how the organisation is held together despite the different missions. If cultural context in Iceland makes a difference for what is selected and offered to the users is also discussed.Six informants in strategic library positions dealing with the digital national- or university library, were interviewed. The answers have been analysed in light of the library&information literature on building and maintaining digital library collections and organizational and marketing theory.The main result of the study is that the informants do not see a conflict between the missions of the organisation, although traces of a struggle were found in some areas.

Today digital guides are most frequently used by the museum and tourism industries. They are also used for education purposes. They make it possible to distribute information and have it easily accessible. In addition to written information they add sound, pictures and videos which lift the whole impression of the visited place to a higher level. A variety of systems currently in use today have been evaluated.

Few studies enlighten the problem associated with the dialectical relationship between adults and adolescents and how that affects the construction of identity for adolescent?s, in relation to two areas that are closely bordering to each other but differs socioeconomically whereas one area is much weaker on resources than the other. These two areas is Högberget and Haganäs, which are situated in a larger city in Sweden.For us to be able to enlighten this problem we have chosen to use an inductive research approach so that we can explain how adolescents construct their identity and how the organized spare time, in addition with the influence of adults, impacts on adolescents construction of their identity.Therefore we have used interviews as method, both group and individual, so it can regulate which theories that influence our study. The two theories that wires through the entire study are firstly Peter L. Bergman and Thomas Luckmanns theory on social construction where the idea is that the human being is an active social being that constructs its own reality.

This thesis examines source criticism and critical thinking among upper secondary school students in social science in three different schools in Sweden.
