The business potential of software defined radio (SDR) technology is studied by evaluating whether or not its characteristics correspond to those particular to a disruptive technology. The maturity of the SDR technology concept is illuminated by analyzing the opinions and perspectives of a selection of representatives for different stakeholders in the wireless communications market. Characteristics as, for example, the degree of consensus about the utility of SDR technology and the awareness of features and limitations are studied by application of the theory of technological frames. This theory helps us understand how and when technology evolution takes place. Finally we describe the value network structures of some potentially viable application areas for SDR and suggest some possible business opportunities based on SDR technology.This thesis is carried out as a case study and the research data is obtained from secondary sources, such as literature and Internet publications as well as interviews with people well experienced in the field of wireless communications.

Pornografi och sex som underhållning i massmedia är något som det skrivits och forskats om länge och mycket ? förutom i en genre av media. Radio.

Va, finns det porr i radio? är den vanligaste frågan jag fått när jag blivit tillfrågad att berätta om vad mitt c-arbete handlar.

Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att försöka få förståelse för ljudillustrationers betydelse i radiopresentationer genom att se hur olika presentationer tas emot av en publik. Det jag ville ta reda på var vilken sorts presentation ? en med ljudillustrationer eller en utan ? som uppskattas av flest inom den yngre delen av P3:s målgrupp, samt vilken av presentationerna som mest lockar till vidare lyssning.Studien består av en gestaltande del, där jag har gjort om presentationer från radioprogrammet P3 Populär, och en vetenskaplig del i form av en kvantitativ undersökning där gymnasielever har lyssnat på en presentation för att sedan svara på en enkät. Studien har haft sin utgångspunkt i retoriska modeller för hur ett meddelande bör utformas, och i olika metoder för användandet av ljud i radio.Undersökningen visar att personer som lyssnat på en presentation med ljudliga illustrationer tyckte att den var intressant, underhållande, trolig att fånga deras uppmärksamhet och vilja till att lyssna vidare i större utsträckning än personer som lyssnat på en presentation utan ljudillustrationer.

Syftet ? Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera hur MTG Radio och TV4 har valt att använda sig av grön marknadsföring.

Efter en kort historisk bakgrund redogör vi för den teoretiska bakgrunden till hur företag bör utforma den gröna marknadsföringen så att den effektivt når ut till kunder. Vi studerar sedan två företag, MTG Radio och TV4, för att se hur dessa arbetar med grön marknadsföring.

Wireless sensor networks have the potential for becoming a huge market. Ericsson predicts 50 billion devices interconnected to the Internet by the year 2020. Before that, the devices must be made to be able to withstand years of usage without having to change power source as that would be too costly. These devices are typically small, inexpensive and severally resource constrained. Communication is mainly wireless, and the wireless transceiver on the node is typically the most power hungry component.

This thesis is a case study of the informal internal communication at a Swedish government agency called Swedac. The purpose of the study was to investigate how the employees perceive and use the informal internal communication, what communication media they utilize for it and how the informal internal communication correlates to certain aspects of the organizational structure. In order to achieve this, six qualitative interviews was carried out with employees in the organization. Since informal internal communication is not a well-defined concept I explained my view of the concept in the thesis. The results show that the informal internal communication is very important and fairly widespread at Swedac.

Radio är en av många plattformar och arenor där offentlig debatt kan äga rum. Och just som medium når radio ut till en stor mängd människor. Med den bredden kommer även ett stort ansvar. Ett ansvar, inte minst för kanalerna på Sveriges radio, för att förse medborgarna med korrekt information så att publiken kan skapa egna uppfattningar om samhälleliga fenomen och problem. Med detta i ryggen tycker vi att det är både intressant och relevant att kika närmare på Sveriges radio, och specifikt på programmet P1 Debatt.
