Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to describe the social media usage of five European official national tourism organizations (NTO). The essay proceeds to discuss and evaluate the findings, whilst reflecting on the advantages of social media usage from the point of view of an official national tourism organization.Method: The authors used three different methods of research: one structured observation to study the national tourism organizations? everyday work in social media, one field stimulation to study if and how different NTO respond if a prospective visitor makes them a direct question via social media and finally an email interview to gain insight into NTO?s underlying strategies and policies about social media usage.Theoretical framework: The theories that have been used in this paper include the Uses and gratifications model, theories of one-way and multi-way communication, theories of social media and relationship marketing.Conclusion: By making use of social media the company releases some of its control to the customers as the latter can express their opinions freely in this type of media.

Vare sig det handlar om kundservice eller försäljning är kundkontakten ett servicemöte som är centralt för en affärsdrivande verksamhet. Arbetsuppgifter som innefattar kundkontakt är av avsevärd betydelse för företaget då den anställde är företagets ansikte utåt och spelar en avgörande roll när det gäller att influera kundens uppfattning. För att de anställda ska kunna bidra till ett bra servicemöte är det viktigt att de känner sig motiverade. Hur anställda med kundrelaterade yrken ser på sin arbetsmotivation och vilka faktorer de uppfattar som motiverande var i fokus för denna studie. I studien deltog fem anställda med kundrelaterade arbetsuppgifter.

The basic principle of the integrated school according to the Salamanca Declaration is that all children, whenever possible, should be taught together, regardless of any difficulties or diversity. It has been shown that students with neuropsychiatric disorders are having much more difficulties to achieve the targets than the average student. Pupils with neuropsychiatric syndrome will always be present in school and we who are working in the business must be better at learning to adapt to them so that they too can achieve proficiency in school.Mathematics is perhaps the topic that Swedish students generally have most problems with,and it will not obviously be easier if you have some form of neuropsychiatric disability.In our future role as special education teachers, we will mentor and support other teachers in the complex educational environment that exists today. The aim that has been built up is thus partly to explore how mathematics teachers work with included students with neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as how teachers wishing to become supervised by specialeducation teachers in mathematics. The study is conducted from a sociocultural perspective.A sociocultural perspective on learning means that all people are learning all the time in social settings.

Quality is the key to a well executed product or service. The construction industry hasn?t highlighted the quality in recent times which have contributed to the construction industry receiving much criticism in the field. The public sees it as an offhanded industry where errors and delays are common.The reason for this is considered to be primarily the lack of time, constant pressure to reduce costs and skills and the ability to communicate between the parties about what the correct quality really means. The industry has begun to realize that it must start setting clearer standards and that there are great opportunities for improvement.This report will give Peab an opportunity to develop their quality work.

Arbetsmarknadens villkor skapar behov av kompetens utöver den rent yrkesmässiga. Reell kompetens avser en persons totala kunskap och kapacitet, även sådan som inte går att validera. Allt lärande förändrar därför en persons kompetens, men vissa typer av kunskap är starkt förknippad med specifika situationer. Transformativt lärande medför förändringar i personens identitet och resulterar i en personlighetsintegrerad kunskap som individen bär med sig mellan olika sammanhang och situationer. Omvälvande livshändelser eller undervisning som utmanar tidigare kunskap kan utgöra startpunkter för transformativt lärande.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilken typ av emotionellt arbete yrkesverksamma specialistutbildade ambulanssjuksköterskor utför i sitt arbete och hur detta står i relation till brist på återkoppling. För att undersöka detta utfördes kvalitativa intervjuer med sex ambulanssjuksköterskor. Den insamlade empirin analyserades sedan utifrån teorier samt tidigare forskning inom emotionssociologi och även tidigare forskning rörande ambulanspersonal och återkoppling. Resultatet för det emotionella arbetet visar på tre områden som är särskilt framträdande; hanteringen av egna och andras känslor i det dagliga arbetet; situationer som bryter mot mönstret; och strategin att distansera sig från arbetet för att orka med de ibland mycket känslomässigt påfrestande situationerna som uppkommer. Resultatet visar vidare att ambulanssjuksköterskornas främsta skäl till önskan om återkoppling, i denna studie uppdelad i medicinsk och känslomässig återkoppling, är att hela tiden ha högsta möjliga kompetens.

Kraven på extern miljökommunikation enligt standarden ISO 14001 är få och vaga. Eftersom företagen själva väljer hur den största delen av den externa miljökommunikationen ska gå till är det intressant att se hur den då fungerar i praktiken. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka vad den externa kommunikationen kan innebära i praktiken. Med hjälp av den kvalitativa intervjuformen har empiri samlats in från företagen; SAAB i Linköping, SIEMENS Industrial Turbomachinery, LFV, ALSTOM power Sweden AB. Genom en kvalitativ analysmetod har materialet från intervjuerna bearbetats.Vår studie visar att det finns flera drivkrafter som ligger bakom företagens miljökommunikation, dels är det krav önskemål från omvärlden och dels imageskapande.

Webbapplikationer har en stadigt ökande användning i affärsvärlden. Fördelarna ärmånga, några är enkelhet i teknisk implementering, geografisk spridning ochunderhåll. De flesta webbapplikationer och webbplatser har fram tills nu byggts på engammal traditionell modell. Modellen innebär att användaren klickar på en länk för fåny information. En förfrågan skickas då till informationsservern som i sin turbehandlar och returnerar all information.

Performance Management är en process som syftar till att säkerställa att alla inom en organisation arbetar i samma riktning. Detta uppnås genom att öka tydligheten kring organisationens strategiska mål samt koppla dessa till medarbetarens individuella mål. Vidare är det viktigt att kommunicera vad som förväntas av medarbetarna i termer av arbetsprestationer samt hur detta skall uppnås för att lyckas med uppdraget att minska gapet mellan medarbetares arbetsprestationer och ledningens ambitioner (Armstrong & Baron, 2005).Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att undersöka vilka erfarenheter ledare inom det multinationella telekom- och IT-företaget Logica har av att arbeta med Performance Management samt vilka delar av implementeringen som har varit lätta respektive svåra att genomföra. Vidare vill jag undersöka hur organisationen ytterligare kan förstärka arbetet med Performance Management-processen baserat på ovanstående.Den empiriska undersökningen har genomförts med kvalitativ metod i form av tre stycken fokusgruppintervjuer med ansatsen Experiential Focus Group. Som komplement till fokusgruppintervjuerna har analys av interna dokument som beskriver Performance Management-processen inom Logica, genomförts.Resultatet av undersökningen visar att ledarnas upplevelser av Performance Management-processen varierar beroende på vilken typ av arbetsgrupp man är ledare för.

Abstract Children with neuropsychiatric disorders often require special arrangements from the society. These measures could target the child itself, its parents, or other parts of the social network surrounding the child. Parents of children with neuropsychiatric disorders are often deeply engaged both in their child and in these measures.Three parents of children with neuropsychiatric disorders, and four counselors in different habilitation centers, were interviewed. The purpose of this qualitative interview study was to describe the methods with which the counselors worked to support parents of children with neuropsychiatric disorders, and to understand how the parents experienced this support offered by the counselors.The qualitative interviews with counselors and parents followed a thematic interview guide. A structured interview form was used.
