Syfte: Syftet med detta arbete var att undersöka hur företagskultur påverkas av ledarskap. Metod: Jag har använt mig av kvalitativ forskningsmetod. För att samla in information för teoridelen har jag använt jag mig av sekundärdata, metoden och för emperidelen har jag använt mig av primärdata.  Resultat & slutsats: I min undersökning har jag kommit fram till att chef/ledare har en stor roll i företagskultur och de förändringar som ibland måste ske. Eftersom det är dem som oftast har mest makt i företag/organisation, därmed är det viktigt att en ledare ska vara kreativ, nyfiken öppen och beslutsam.  Uppsatsen bidrag: Genom den här undersökningen fick jag bättre förståelse inom ledarskap, företagskultur och samspelet mellan dem och hur ledarens uppgifter och roller kommer att påverka kulturer i företag/organisation. Och jag tycker att det är viktigt att en ledare/chef vågar förändra på det kultur som finns inom företaget för att se om det skapas bättre förändringar eller inte..

When a leader changes to a new post in another kind of organisational culture, what happens then? Could a leader use the same kind of leadership when leading different kinds of groups? Different cultures have different needs and ways to handle things and in the end it all comes to situational leadership. Both leaders and theorists claim that the leader must adjust to what the organisation and its members needs. This paper contains an inquiry of how officers have handled their new assignments as leaders in the civilian world of the municipality. The research shows that a former military leader must also be able to lead another kind of group if they change to a civilian career.

Inom offentlig sektor och särskilt sjukvårdens organisation, genomförs ofta stora reformer vilket medfört att mycket fokus inte minst hamnar på ledarskapet. Man kan säga att tre nivåer då samagerar, det politiska, det professionella och medborgaren. En ledare får ofta en nyckelroll i förändrings- och utvecklingsprocesser genom ökat personalansvar. Dialogen som verktyg för ledaren i sam-manhanget är av intresse i denna studie. En analys av samtal med sex enhetschefer inom offentlig sektor har haft fokus på vikten av dialog och kommunikation inom en komplex organisation som Region Skånes sjukvårdsverksamhet.

The use of entertainment in various kinds of business events has recently increased in popularity among Swedish firms. Often, stand-up comedians are hired to entertain the employees or customers during these happenings. Generally, the firm invests a considerable amount of money in this service and is furthermore willing to pay a premium for a famous comedian. Although the market for this type of service is fairly large, the knowledge of the motives behind the investments is yet limited.A grounded theory study is carried out exploring the purpose of the entertainment as well as the rationales behind the preference for a famous comedian over an unknown. Two general types of contexts (internal and external) are identified and a number of objectives related to each type are distinguished.

In our paper we chose to study care management in the old age care. According to the law for the social services the needs of elderly should govern the assistance they are granted. But research has shown that municipal guidelines govern the assistance and that the elderly have to adjust their needs to them. Thus there is a discrepancy between law and practice. The aim of this study was to understand how care managers relate to municipal guidelines, laws and the requests of elderly when the application for assistance is established.

Much attention has been directed to Charity Foundations and how they use the donations given to them. Donators and external organisations put pressure on and evaluate the performance of Charity Foundations. The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of how Charity Foundations handle the pressure from external parties through a qualitative case study of one Swedish Charity Foundation. The most important external factors have been identified and the accountability relationships between each party and the Charity Foundation have been examined. The empirical material was collected through semi-structured interviews and from written sources.

Detta arbetes syfte är att göra en jämförelse av olika organisationer och undersöka vad som kännetecknar den organisation som finns uppbyggd kring intranätet och hur drift och förvaltning bedrivs av intranätet. Även frågan om vem eller vilka som ansvarar för intranätet behandlas i denna rapport. För att kunna göra jämförelser utifrån problemställningen har intervjuer genomförts i sju organisationer, som har eller är på väg att införa ett intranät, där alla är verksamma inom olika områden.Slutsatserna visar att många av de större organisationerna har någon form av organisation runt sitt intranät, för de mindre organisationerna, som även har mindre intranät, är det oftast en eller kanske några som hanterar drift och förvaltning av intranätet. Även i avseende på ansvaret för intranätet visar slutsatserna att det främst är de större organisationerna som har en specifik person som ansvarar för intranätet..

The intention with this essay is to investigate how the narration of the South Korean film Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Park Chan-wook, 2002) relates to the Hollywood pictures of today. An important change which David Bordwell pays attention to is an intensifying of former stylistic paradigms in what he denominates as intensified continuity. That said, Bordwell and Kristin Thompson are in agreement on that the new films still are predominantly classical. The neoformalistic standpoint which Thompson and Bordwell use appears however to contain some problematic implications.

The main purpose in this degree thesis is to investigate changes in performance when introducing a newly produced Real-Time database in one of CC Systems products, the Diagnostic Runtime Engine, DRE. The thesis is a collaboration between CC Systems, creator of DRE, and Mimer AB, developer of the Real-Time database.The result reveals that the time spent on database access is considerably lesscompared to the originally used database. The research has lead to several additional requirements on the real-time database and these are presented as part of the result in this thesis. The additional features will help making the product more suitable for DRE and similar applications.Additional research is required to be able to recommend the use of this product or not. Primarily the performance in another operating system, Windows CE, but also the introduction of additional features should be investigated.
