Titel: Det sociala intranätet ? ett forum för information, interaktion och identifikationFörfattare: Jessika Hällerö, Emmy Nordin och Anna SalomonssonUppdragsgivare: Semcon ABKurs: Examensarbete i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapInstitution: Institutionen för journalistik, massmedier och kommunikation (JMG) Göteborgs universitetTermin: Vårterminen 2012Handledare: Malin SvenningssonSidantal: 52Antal ord: 15 020Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur Semcons konsulter reflekterar över sin organisationstillhörighet och hur de identifierar sig med sin arbetsgivare, samt att öka kunskapen om konsulternas inställning till och användandet av Semcons intranät.Metod: Kvalitativa samtalsintervjuerMaterial: Resultatet baseras på intervjuer med tio av Semcons konsulter.Huvudresultat: Genomgående för studien är att det tenderar att finnas en positiv och en negativ strömning i förhållande till frågorna. Vad gäller organisationsidentifikation finns det konsulter som identifierar sig med Semcon, konsulter som identifierar sig med arbetsplatsen samt de som är osäkra över sin organisationstillhörighet. Det råder även delade meningar kring hur ett socialt intranät kan medverka till att identifikationen med Semcon stärks. Vissa menar att ett socialt intranät kan bidra till identifieringen som Semconit, medan andra menar att det finns för lite information på avdelningsnivå för att uppnå detta.

As a student during my studies, I have been told about entrepreneurs who have red numbers in their financial statements, and there is a forest machine operator shortage in Sweden. The basic idea of this thesis was to examine the underlying factors that may have caused the problems described above. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the factors that create stress and job satisfaction as a forest machine operator. The study was performed as a comparison between forest companies own harvesting teams and entrepreneur teams to investigate if there are any differences in stress and job satisfaction between the two different types of team. The study was conducted in collaboration with SCA Skog. The material for this study was collected by doing interviews with SCA's harvesting teams. A total of 27 forest machine operators were interviewed, divided into a total of 10 separate harvesting teams. It was very similar between the different type of teams, which situations the operators experienced stress.

Abstract"Citizen Influence, Forms and Effects - A study of the Resistance Concerning the Establishment of a Juvenile Detention Center in Kristinehamn 2005-2007"Political Science, Johan Utter This essay circles around the concepts of citizenship and the questions if and how citizens in the modern democracy can influence and effect the political decisions made by the governing body on the local level. This is done by the means of a case-study concerning the establishment of an institutional facility for convicted youths in Kristinehamn. The planning of this facility and especially its planned location in Sunneberg aroused a significant negative response from the citizens, demanding a better alternative for the location.The proposition resulted in heavy protests from the citizens as the planned location was viewed as an important recreation area, where the citizens could experience nature first hand, close to the centre of town. As a result, some citizens living close to the planned location, formed a network called "Bevara Sunneberg", whose purpose was to influence the decision-makers and make the citizen?s voices heard.

Background and problem discussionThe temporary employment industry has grown extensively during the past two decades since the market was deregulated. Companies today need to be flexible to meet fluctuating demand and economic climate in society which has made the market expand. When using employees not directly employed by the company there is a risk that long term effects appears that the companies have not thought of.Aim of studyTo create a model of what negative aspects companies should consider when making the decision to use temporary employees.Methodological frameworkThe study performed through an abdicative literature study and with an empirical data collection method of a qualitative approach where we interviewed five hiring companies and one temporary agency on the decision of hiring temporary employees.Frame of referenceProblem areas with the use of temporary employments were identified through four perspectives of the organization; the structural, human resource, symbolic and political perspective. The problem areas we address are organizational learning, motivation, risk of eroding human capital, belongingness and conflicts. These will be described and presented together with management control to counter the problems.EmpiricsThe empirics are focused on what aspects the companies of the study considered when making the decision to use temporary employment, what the companies? different reasons for using temporary employment are and what they do to minimize possible negative effects.Analysis and conclusionsCompanies use temporary employees mostly to become more flexible, both numerically and in their competence.

Denna uppsats redogör för vilka påföljder ett eventuellt dröjsmål med premiebetalningen kan få för en försäkringstagare. Det är framförallt en jämförelsestudie mellan konsumentregleringarna och näringsreglerna, samt en jämförelse med dagens rättsläge och propositionen om ny försäkringsavtalslag. Försäkringsparternas förpliktelser är för försäkringstagaren att erlägga premie och för försäkringsgivaren att utge ersättning vid en eventuell skada. De regler som idag reglerar påföljder vid ett dröjsmål med premiebetalningen finns i 1927 års försäkringsavtalslag och inom konsumentförhållanden i 1980 års konsumentförsäkringslag. Som synes är lagstiftningen gammal och Regeringen har nu lagt en proposition om ny försäkringsavtalslag (prop 2003/04:150) vilken förväntas träda ikraft januari 2006.

This thesis looks at two sides of the same coin: how to support the production and future development at a specialist medical technology department at Danderyd Hospital. The two sides are; a pilot study of a product management system (PDM) and an interview based study on the characteristics of the silent knowledge of the technicians. The department (National respiratory centre, NRC) is facing retirement of several key employees.The technical study shows that the success of an implementation is largely dependent on the users? prior knowledge and use of a 3D Computer aided design system (CAD).The system itself is shown to fulfill the Lifecycle requirement of tracking the products (mostly tracheostomy tubes) but without a CAD centered workflow, some substantial education and preferably some new recruits, an implementation of the PDM system will fail. The author recommends development of the current ?low-tech? system of MS Excel and Access rather than redistribute the dependency from technician towards a complex, commercial software and its vendor.The analysis of the technicians? silent knowledge with the newly developed method, epithet for silent knowledge (ETK), shows that the longer employment time:the more differentiated technicians become in describing their work,practical knowledge are regarded higher andthe social and collective problem solving factors of the work becomes more important.Typically, it is shown that a new employee should preferably enjoy problem solving, being pragmatic and social as well as having some prior education or work experience in a CAD and/or a PDM system..

The term CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is frequently discussed today. Many large companies work actively with CSR related questions. However, few empirical studies exist on what this work entails and why it is undertaken. Instead, most of the academic research focuses on what the term itself should mean. To bridge this gap this study centers on the employees? perceptions of CSR.

Enda sedan den först introducerades på 1870-talet har telefonen spelat en viktigt roll i kommunikationen människor mellan. Utvecklingen inom telekombranschen har skett i ett rasande snabbt tempo under de senaste 30-40 år, och idag är det vanligare med en mobiltelefon än en fast telefon. En populär variant av mobiltelefonen är den så kallade smarta mobilen som bland annat gör det möjligt att nyttja mer avancerade program och tjänster än i en traditionell mobiltelefon. Sedan början av 2000-talet har röstsamtal över internet, så kallad VoIP, ökat allt mer. Fördelen med VoIP är främst att samtal mellan datorer i regel är helt kostnadsfria vilket gör dessa tjänster utmärkta för långdistanssamtal. I och med att antalet smarta mobiler ökar samtidigt som marknaden för VoIP växer har mobiloperatörerna börjat se detta som ett större hot mot sina intäkter.

The average age of the working population in Sweden is increasing, along with the number of retirements. Meanwhile, the number of people entering the labour market is declining. In order to avoid a loss of key skills and competences because of the resulting labour gap, and to ensure future economic growth, it is vital to utilise the aging labour force more efficiently. Nevertheless, many Swedish companies are inefficient in managing their aging workforce. In fact, it has emerged that senior workers in Sweden are discriminated against their age and not attractive on the labour market.

Med konnektion avses de upprättade sambanden mellan en texts propositioner. Propositioner är yttranden som säger något om världen (jfr. Allwood, Andersson & Dahl 1977:20). Propositioner likställs ofta med satser, varför begreppet konnektion normalt avser satskonnektion. Men ett yttrande kan också bestå i en propositionsmängd, en sammansättning av enkla propositioner som utgår från samma tanke om världen (jfr.

Organizational democracy has been a popular research area in recent decades but the implementation in real organizations is slow (Kokkinidis, 2012; Verdorfer, Weber, Unter Rainer & Seyr, 2013). Several researchers (Schön Jansson, 2012; Falkheimer, Heide & Johansson, 2013) argue that communication practitioners have a key role in democratic processes and that because their job role is under constant change there are only a few modern studies regarding the subject. The purpose of this study is to illustrate how communication practitioners in private and public organizations experience their role in the process of internal communication and to what extent they are aware of, and work with internal organizational democracy.The practitioners we interviewed had a strong feeling that they were a support function for the business and the organizational management. As a result of the study it is clear that communication practitioners are very loyal to their employers and to the organization they work for. They are, therefore, not neutral in their professional role and argue that their task is to represent the management's interests.
