Increasing innovation and entrepreneurship has been identified as a key target for sustained growth and welfare, both in Sweden and abroad. Therefore, many countries have recognized the need to equip students with entrepreneurship education and to integrate skills associated with entrepreneurship into the various curricula.To shed light on entrepreneurship education within business curricula, a case study focusing on the first two years of the Bachelor program at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) was conducted. The study was based on interviews with students, alumni and scholars with a background of entrepreneurship. Insights from respondents were compared with leading research on entrepreneurship education, to evaluate the program's approach.Primary findings from the qualitative analysis showed an overall lack of entrepreneurship education in the early stages of the program. Entrepreneurial "know-how" knowledge was an insufficient component of the SSE program and a barrier for why more students did not pursue a career in entrepreneurship.

Contemporary society focuses heavily on the individual and this is also characterized by an individual thinking that many people contribute to. This is furthermore shared in the field of entrepreneur research studies where a profound deal of time has been focused on the personal qualities of specific entrepreneurs. However, in modern settings today many corporations originate in a team-based structure, which therefore leads towards a different approach rather than examining exclusively on individuality. Previous research shows that entrepreneurial teams are establishing and growing at a steady pace, yet studies within this field has not developed in an extensive fashion. Entrepreneurial teams can be defined as a group of people who share a common goal, usually consisting of two or more individuals who commenced a foundation from the early stages of that specific firm and who originated an initial idea.

In efforts to strengthen local economies, business development programs are often a way in which governmental organizations and state affiliates try to facilitate innovation and successful entrepreneurship. There is a mutual interest from both the public and private sector that these funds are put to good use. Extensive research has been conducted with the focus of the general effect of public support programs. However, not much research has been done on what external factors affect the situation for receiving businesses. This study attempts to examine whether one specific such factor, the level of maturity on the markets that the recipients operate in, has a discernible effect on the needs for different types of entrepreneurial support.

Syftet med föreliggande studie är att undersöka och beskriva vilka faktorer som främjarelevernas motivation för matematikstudier. Med fenomenografi som metodologiskutgångspunkt genomförde jag enskilda intervjuer med åtta elever och två lärare på enhögstadieskola. Resultaten presenteras i form av fem skilda kategorier som uppfattas sombidragande faktorer för elevernas motivation för matematikstudier:A) Betyg och urval för att komma in på gymnasietB) Yttre motivation från föräldrar eller någon annanC) Förståelse som motivationD) Självförtroende som motivationE) Logisk tänkande och praktisk matematik som motivationUtifrån undersökningen kom jag fram till att betyg är en av faktorerna för elevernasmotivation för matematikstudier. Vidare framkom det att lärarna uppfattar att elevernasmotivation höjs genom verklighetsanknytning. Likheter mellan elevers och läraresuppfattningar är att förståelse och föräldrarnas påverkan har stor betydelse för elevernasmotivation..

Många kända teorier inom psykologin beskriver motivation som en drivkraft, vilken är viktig för individens vilja att arbeta. Trivsel och motivation leder tillsammans till välmående på arbetet. Arbetsvillkor och uppskattning är viktiga faktorer för individens trivsel och motivation på arbetet och brister av dessa kan leda till vantrivsel och minskad motivation. I denna studie intervjuades åtta medarbetare om motivation och trivsel inom vårdyrket och syftet var att se om anställningsstatus har betydelse för trivsel och motivation. Skillnader i motivation och trivsel fanns beroende på anställningsstatus.

Alla människor behöver aktivera sig fysiskt och motionera på ett eller annat sätt. Men för att kunna motionera krävs det att motivation finns. Forskning har visat att motivation går att dela in i framförallt två former, det är inre motivation och yttre motivation. Den senare formen finns i fyra olika grader. Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka vad som upplevdes motivera till motion hos medlemmar på Friskis & Svettis.

In today?s Sweden there is great belief in entrepreneurship and the benefits it can bring to the country. The Swedish government has taken note of this growing enthusiasm and realized the contribution it can make to facilitate national growth. Successful efforts have been made in Sweden to support entrepreneurship and innovation, which has resulted in a relative ease for individuals to start their own businesses.The number of companies started today is higher than ever and there are signs of a common faith in growth among new entrepreneurs. Unfortunately only a small fraction of these new businesses succeed in growing big.

This qualitative study aims to investigate some secondary school teacers' attitudes to and experiences of motivation in their second language classrooms. Through qualitative interviews with five teachers some different perspectives on motivation and its function in second language acquisition have come to light. First, motivation is seen as something important and some teachers tend to distinguish between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Those who do so tend to value intrinsic motivation more highly. Secondly, teachers believe they can affect students' levels of motivation.

?Motivation is the desire within a person causing that person to act? (Mathis & Jackson, 2009, p. 24). Motivation is what makes people act. Lately a tool to create more motivation called Gamification has been more and more popular to use. This study is focusing on the subject motivation and also how gamification can be used as a tool to get more of that.

Motivation a?r viktigt i alla organisationen och i alla yrkesroller. En bransch med mycket differentierade yrkesgrupper a?r revisionsbranschen och det kan vara problematiskt att motivera alla olika yrkesgrupper med ett och samma incitamentsystem. Da? motivation enligt tidigare forskning anses fo?ra?ndras o?ver tid a?r det viktigt fo?r fo?retagsledningen i ett fo?retag att kontinuerligt arbeta med incitamentsystemens utformning (Adair, 2006, s.95).

Syftet med fokusgruppstudien var att undersöka gymnasielärares upplevelser av den egna motivation samt att ta reda på vilka faktorer de anser påverkar elevernas motivation i undervisning och lärande. Resultaten visade, i enlighet med tidigare forskning, att de främsta motivationsskapande faktorerna för eleverna är en god relation mellan lärare och elev, att eleverna får möjlighet att vara delaktiga i undervisningen samt möjlighet till olika val i undervisningen. Lärarnas egen motivation visades öka av att undervisa och av möten med eleverna. Motivationen minskade dock av otrygg arbetsmiljö, otrygga arbetsförhållanden och arbetsuppgifter som inte har med undervisning att göra. Lärarna upplevde att deras egen motivation och engagemang i arbetet påverkade elevernas motivation och engagemang..

Syftet med följande arbete är att undersöka vilken syn fem gymnasielärare i svenska har på motivation och vad de gör för att skapa motivation hos sina elever. Detta ställs sedan i relation till ledarskap och kunskapssyn för att se om det finns ett samband mellan dessa och hur läraren motiverar eleven. Inledningsvis ger arbetet en översikt av tidigare forskning av motivation samt motivation i relation till kunskapssyn och ledarskap. Kvalitativa intervjuer användes för att uppnå syftet. Resultatet presenterar hur respondenterna anser att de motiverar sina elever. Samtliga nämner verklighetsförankring, intresse och relationsskapande. Resultatet tyder även på en relation mellan hur respondenten ser på motivation med dess kunskapssyn och ledarskap..

The aim of the study was to show whether or not there exists, and if so, to understand, a common creativity, vision and imagination of the members of Småland?s Entrepreneurial Academy?s organisation.The method used for this research is the fictive narrative collage , which consists of the collection of fictive stories. The author has also made her own additions to the method. A composer composes songs to the narratives, two artists illustrate the narratives. The research is carried out on the total population within Småland?s Entrepreneurial Academy which consists of 10 permanent members of the organisation.The theory focuses on different areas, such as creativity, vision and imagination as well as on the entrepreneur and the organisation.

Lately an increasing portion of the public debate in Sweden has been devoted to how societies may facilitate entrepreneurship, yet a negligible portion of this debate has discussed the impact of the community spirit on entrepreneurial activity. Further, this connection is a relatively uncharted field in terms of research as well. The aim of this study is accordingly to advance the study surrounding the impact of community spirit on the propensity for entrepreneurial activity and add new empirical data and insights to the existing body of theory. A four-month ethnographic study of the Provo-Orem region in Utah, USA, comprising of in-depth interviews and participant observations, was therefore undertaken with the aim of understanding the community spirit in the studied region and its influence on entrepreneurship. The thesis finds that numerous values such as self-reliance, family focus and security together with a strong religious culture make up the essence of the community spirit in Provo-Orem.
