The method was a case study of the consumer health service in the hospital library in Västerås, a town in Sweden. Qualitative interviews, observations and written material were used.

Theories about marketing in service organizations and how to develop new services were used in the study, as well as theories about communication and different cultures within organizations of different kinds like the library and the hospital.

Bakgrund:Idag används många olika tekniker för att fånga uppmärksamheten hos vår tids upptagna människor. Det är inte längre tillräckligt för en annons att innehålla fina bilder och en bra slogan, det vill säga att enbart förlita sig på traditionella marknadsföringstekniker. Företag som vill försäkra sin överlevnad måste idag använda sig av nya och alternativa medier på ett innovativt sätt. Något som också har blivit allt vanligare är att använda sig av marknadsföring med hjälp av word-of-mouth (WOM) ? en sorts marknadsföring som förlitar sig på att konsumenter delar med sig av sina erfarenheter och åsikter om en viss produkt, tjänst eller varumärke till sina medkonsumenter.Syfte:Genom en explorativ undersökning samt parallell användning av kvalitativa och kvantitativa undersökningsmetoder vill vi genomföra en fallstudie på en utav Sveriges största aktörer inom destinationsbranschen ? Apollo.

Our planet is faced with enormous challenges as the extreme weather events related to the human-caused climate change continue to gain strength. The scale of the problem has made changing human behaviour the central focus of sustainable development, and both public and private sector are expected to gain relevant expertise and introduce this work in their agenda. Over its 40-year history, social marketing has become an established field providing tools for social change, but compared to health promotion, sustainability has not been a major focus of social marketing research so far. At the same time, sustainable lifestyles are embedded in complex systems where both individual factors and those of physical and social environment play a defining role in their adoption. Communities are a good example of such environments, and they became the key focus of Community-Based Social Marketing, which combines different insights from psychology to suggest a step-by-step framework for crafting behaviour change campaigns. However, it has not been applied to larger and diverse communities, like cities, and has not focused on sustaining new behaviour over time, which is crucial for creating sustainable lifestyles.

En mobil kameraövervakningslösning är idealiskt att ha när tillfällig övervakning måste ske, på t.ex. Båtklubbar, Hamnar, Byggarbetsplatser, Inhägnade uppställningsplatser, Parkeringar, Event m.fl. Det som sker idag då dessa platser ska övervakas är att en fast mast ställs dit med hjälp av en lastbil med kran eller att kamerorna sätts upp på befintliga byggnader. I dagsläget finns ingen tillräckligt mobil helhetslösning för den här typen av övervakning i Sverige..
