Denna uppsats behandlar hur företag motiverar sina anställda för att öka lojaliteten. Vi har valt att studera detta utifrån ett ledningsperspektiv. Vi har undersökt två tjänsteföretag eftersom det är extra viktigt att de anställda är motiverade i kunskapsintensiva företag. Vi har gjort en fallstudie och intervjuat VD:n på JOB Media & Reklambyrå AB och avdelningschefen på KPMG i Luleå. I vår undersökning har vi kommit fram till att motivationsteorierna vi behandlat tillämpas i stor utsträckning i de företag vi undersökt.

This paper?s objective is to investigate whether Modigliani and Miller (MM) I & II proposition from 1958 with regard to capital structure, is still valid among public Swedish firms.We have chosen the 63 firms on the Stockholm Stock Exchange (OMX) that Affärsvärlden magazine?s general index (AFGX) has categorized as industrial firms. We based this selection on the assumption that these firms are relatively capital intense and have a clear focus on production and, therefore, mainly uses capital structure as a mean to finance their production and not as a means in itself.To be able to fully evaluate these firms we have calculated the current key ratios based each firm?s annual report. To make the figures comparable across the entire population we adjusted them to each firm?s turnover.The results we have reached concur with MM?s proposition I regarding capital structures independence of the firm value.

Abstract This essay is written to answer the questions of why, how and against who employees in the service sector use humour, charm and flirt in the interaction with their customers. The service management research is quite extensive, but despite this the research partly misses studies around why employees tend to act in certain ways while interacting with their customers. To understand the reasons of why they act in these particular ways, we need to know which factors that can be crucial when it comes to the employees? behaviour in these situations. By knowing the underlying reasons of using a special way to communicate with customers, it is much easier to achieve a clearer overview of the subject.

This report documents the development of a software system for automaticscheduling called Hazel. This system is comprised of a server where an automaticscheduler has been implemented, as well as a web and mobile applicationthat allows users to interact with the system. The scheduler hasbeen developed with the functional programming language Haskell and usesa SAT-solver.Manual scheduling has long been the bane of managers everywhere, asmatching the needs of the employer with those of the employee is often adifficult and time-consuming task. There already exists several automaticschedulers that attempt to solve this problem. The issue with said schedulersis that thay tend to be expensive, or developed to only fulfill the needsof a particular organisation.

Det finmns flera olika analysmetoder som kan användas vid kapitalplaceringar, exempelvis aktiers volatilitet. 1996 introduceade privatinvesteraren Steve Woods ytterligare en metod, floatanalysen, som påvisar när aktiehandel bör bedrivas för erhållandet av god avkastning. En viktig del av floatanalysen är floattalet som anger hur stor andel av ett företags aktier det handlas med på börsen.Syftet med uppsatsen är att bedöma hurvida det finns ett samband mellan aktiers floattal och volatilitet. Resultatet jämförs sedan med en tidigare svensk studie i ämnet vid Lunds universitet år 2002.Vi har använt oss av en kvantitativ metod där en omfattande datainsamling från 40 företag under 8 kvartak har gjorts. Informationen har analyserats i en enlel regressionsanalys med floattal som oberoende variabel.Undersökningens resultat visar att det finns ett svagt negativt samband mellan variablarna, vilket tyder på att floattalet kan användas som analysverktyg vid kapitalinvestering..

Social media has recently expanded dramatically, as more people are using different media such as blogs, Facebook and Twitter, to express their opinions. This increases the possibilities to spread information and an unclear legal regulation in this area can create adverse consequences. Freedom of expression is a constitutional right, which forms an important cornerstone of a democratic society. Public employees? freedom of communication means that they can submit information to the media, without fear of reprisals from the authorities.

The background to this study is to find alternative ways of size rationalization. My vision is to take the basic conditions and make the best and most profitable of them. I have chosen press of rape oil because it?s interesting and the investment to get started is relative small. The opportunity to use outmoded and unrational buildings which often are found at many farms to something that gives money instead of costs money is also an argument.
