Today more and more companies are looking out to adopt a new generation intranet, a social intranet where all employees can engage to express themselves and share information. There are large expectations on these new services, which have the opportunity to create high business value if used actively and qualitatively. However, there is a large challenge in knowing how to best implement these services in an organization in order to achieve this. This paper has investigated how an implementation should be made by defining obstacles for the implementation and adoption, discussing how they could be overcome, investigating what incentives could be used to foster usage and finding common success factors for an implementation.By a qualitative research method, consisting of five case studies and two focus area interviews we found a number of steps that must be followed for an implementation to be successful. First the conditions of the organization must be investigated in order to see whether or not social tools are suitable.

Three of the versions used for this comparative study are variants of the Grimm tale, and three belong to Walt Disney productions, i.e.

Igf2 (insulin-lik tillväxtfaktor 2) och H19 är präglade gener hos däggdjur. Präglade gener uttrycks ojämnt; den allel som ärvts från den ena föräldern uttrycks mer än den från den andra. Igf2-genen kodar för en viktig embryonal tillväxtfaktor och uttrycks till protein bara från den paternella allelen. H19 transkriberas bara från den maternella allelen, men translateras inte till protein. Igf2 spelar en viktig roll under dräktigheten, då den bidrar till tillväxten av både placenta och foster och reglerar såväl näringstillgång och tillväxthastighet för embryot. Enligt en teori kallad ?the genetic conflict theory? (~konflikten mellan genomen) så ligger det i honans intresse att fördela resurserna jämnt mellan alla syskon.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka typer av miljöbeskrivande adjektiv och stilistiska figurer som används för att ge en bild av de olika miljöerna i Frances Hodgson Burnetts berättelse Den hemliga trädgården. De miljöer som analyseras är huset Misselthwaite Manor, heden, trädgårdarna och den hemliga trädgården. Metoden som används i uppsatsarbetet är en stilistisk metod som innebär en närläsande intensivanalys av den enskilda texten. Även kvantitativa och kvalitativa aspekter inkluderas i metoden.Analysen visar att följande typer av adjektiv förekommer i samtliga miljöskildringar: adjektiv som beskriver dimension, värdering, tillstånd och färg. Adjektiv som beskriver ålder hittas i miljöerna huset Misselthwaite Manor, trädgårdarna och den hemliga trädgården och de som beskriver sinnesstämning hittas i skildringarna av trädgårdarna och den hemliga trädgården.
