As a consumer often chooses product or service to satisfy the specific needs or desires. However, there is more often than not several brands that manufacture the same product, which means we also have to choose between these brands before we can calm our needs. This choice is usually an active decision. We choose a brand that we are familiar with, or a brand whose identity appeals to us. The brand thus has a major impact on both consumers' decision-making in connection with the purchase, but also for business success.

Ekologiskt, närodlat, kravmärkt och återvinningsbart ? kärt barn har många namn och aldrig förr har vi konsumenter varit så medvetna om just den miljömässiga och hälsomässiga aspekten som vi är idag.

Problem: The Swedish wage-setting has changed since the time for the breakthrough of the industrialism until today.

Detta examensarbete har utförts hos Norrskog Wood Products AB (NWP AB) som omfattar fyra sågverk och tre hyvlerier i mellannorrland. NWP AB bildades 2004 när Skogsägare-föreningen Norrskog köpte Camforegruppen i Jämtland och fusionerade den med sitt tidigare helägda sågverk SAEF AB (Östavallsågen). Vid årsskiftet 05/06 förvärvades det tredje hyvleriet som ligger i Forsa utanför Hudiksvall. I dagsläget när företaget fortfarande är relativt ungt sker det mesta av transportplanering och fraktbokningen vid varje enhet och man gör som man tidigare har gjort. Syftet med examens-arbetet är att för en bestämd period, 2005-01-01 till 2005-05-31, kartlägga transporter och kostnader från industri till kund för hela NWP AB.

I samma takt som produktionen av kläder tilltar, ökar även medvetenheten kring dess miljöpåverkan. Många företag arbetar efter avtal, märkningar och uppförandekoder för att på så vis reducera påverkan, dock kan det vara svårt för konsumenterna att veta vad de faktiskt står för och betyder. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur kunden ser på fast fashion-företagets miljöarbete, hur företaget själva ser på det, samt om kundens uppfattning går att förändra. Undersökningen är avgränsad till att undersöka företaget Gina Tricot som ett exempel på företeelsen fast fashion- företag. För att kunna analysera informationen används kommunikationsmodellen, där sändaren skickar ett meddelande genom bruset till mottagaren, för att senare få tillbaka feedback från mottagagaren.

One fundamental principle in Swedish contract law is that passive acceptance does not constitute a binding acceptance of an offer. Still, business owners use the consumers unknowing of this, and form offers saying passivity will lead to a binding agreement. Business owners are thus trying to ?negatively bind? the consumer to agreements. There are rules prohibiting this kind of actions in the Swedish marketing law (MFL).In order to find out what constitutes this forbidden kind of agreement-entering according to the Swedish Market Court, an analysis of seven cases settled between 2002-2009 and concerning consumers in these situations, is made.

This essay is about Public Relations, in particular Public Relations that appear in editorial spaces.
