I december 2003 antogs Sveriges politik för global utveckling (PGU). Målet förpolitiken är att bidra till en rättvis och hållbar global utveckling genom att all politik som bedrivs ska genomsyras av ett rättighetsperspektiv samt de fattigas perspektiv på utveckling. Uppsatsen utreder vilka förutsättningar det finns för en lyckas implementering av PGU med avseende på handel. Sverige utgör ett exportinriktat land och de senaste åren har Sveriges biståndspolitik svängt från det traditionella biståndet till att handelspolitiken får allt större del av biståndspengarna, med motiveringen att handel gynnar fattigdomsbekämpning.I implementeringsprocessen av PGU är näringslivet en viktig aktör. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur långt implementeringsprocessen sipprar ner.

SYFTE: Syftet med denna uppsats är att med Decuma som utgångspunkt kartlägga de möjligheter och svårigheter, som är specifika för ett born globalföretags förmåga att skapa en konkurrenskraftig position. METOD: Uppsatsen bygger på en fallstudie av Decuma för att få djupare insikt i problematiken kring born globals och hur de kan uppnå konkurrensfördelar genom strategiska relationer. Vi presenterar en bred fallstudie som sedan analyseras med utgångspunkt från vår teoretiska referensram som berör internationaliseringsprocessen för små hig-tech företag med behov av samarbeten och relationer.

Det är även viktigt att företaget kan erbjuda en specialiserad och kundanpassad produkt.

In the last couple of decades, corporate law firms have rapidly grown to become both influential and highly profitable corporations in the business world. Today, the largest law firms are assumed to bear far greater resemblance to large and often multinational public limited companies than the small businesses generally associated with legal services. However, one interesting specific set them apart from the majority of other companies; the partnership and its interrelated profit sharing. The aim of this study has therefore been to investigate partner compensation systems in corporate law firms and further examine what implications chosen compensation systems have on the organizations. Using a multiple case study, including 7 of Scandinavia?s largest and most well known law firms, the results show that partner compensation systems are highly individual and the critical question is whether to employ seniority based or performance based compensation systems.

Background and problem: Financial reports are created for the users as decision support. Stakeholders are often subjects to information asymmetry. Banks represent one of the primary stakeholders and financiers of a company, and place great emphasis on financial reports in their credit assessment process.

This thesis focuses on how companies in the textile and clothing industry view or interpret the idea of corporate social responsibility. The purpose of the study is to create an understanding for how this view affects the dissemination and the implementation of the idea in the organization and what might be the effects on the organization of those processes. In order to identify any differences in how the view affected the processes I have studied the current discourse on CSR simultaneously with my theory and conducted a comparative case study of two Swedish clothing brands. The theory focuses on the diffusion of ideas and change management within organizations. My data shows that the two companies have different ways of interpreting CSR and that this indeed affects their dissemination of the idea in the organization.

Research about intercultural education, globalization and charity shows that even good deeds can end up reproducing the problem that was supposed to be solved in the first place.
