This study is intended to give an impartial view of a young and complex program in Sweden titled Product Innovation Engineering program. The purpose of this program is to increase innovation capability in Sweden that will result in new companies, patents and economic growth. The results from this study might give some direction to future innovation initiatives, but should primarily serve as a tool for the PIEp participants. The study will focus on investigating the creation of the program as well as the development of its strategy. From weaknesses and strengths within the strategy of the program the study should also attempt to show its future potential.

QPrEST är en ny intern standard för absolut kvantifiering av proteiner utvecklat av företaget Atlas Antibodies AB. I en marknad där det redan finns etablerade standarder kan det vara svårt att konkurrera ut de nuvarande produkterna. Därför har denna rapport gjorts vilken består av en marknadsanalys av nuvarande standarder, statistisk undersökning av publicerade artiklar inom absolut kvantitativ proteomik samt en global kundundersökning med 35 svarande. Resultaten har legat till grund för förbättringsförslag till Atlas Antibodies AB för bättre marknadsföring och lansering av sin nya produkt, QPrEST. Slutsatsen från denna rapport är att Atlas Antibodies AB måste nischa in sin produkt till kvantifiering av ett målprotein då det är där standarden presterar bäst..

Det sägs att Herakleitos, 500 f.Kr. uttryckte att ?förändring är det enda konstanta?, men möjligen är detta citat än mera påtagligt i dagens näringsliv främst på en global, konkurrensutsatt marknad. Denna studie har inriktats på hur omvärldsbevakning kan bedrivas för att vinna konkurrensfördelar och utförts genom en fallstudie vid industriföretaget AP&T. Studien är av beskrivande och delvis utforskande karaktär med en kvalitativ forskningsansats.

Dagens hårda konkurrenssituation har lett till att många svenska företag i jakten på att sänka sina kostnader söker nya leverantörer i lågkostnadsländer. Den globala handeln har ökat markant de senaste åren men utredningar gällande hur verksamheters materialförsörjning påverkas av långväga inköp har ej hunnit med i samma utsträckning.ABB Robotics som i sin verksamhet i Västerås utvecklar och tillverkar industrirobotsystem är ett av de företag som satsar på global handel. Som ett led i detta står verksamheten under andra halvåret av 2007 inför stora förändringar då en del av företagets leverantörsbas skall bytas från europeiska till asiatiska tillverkare. Detta examensarbete syftar till att kartlägga hur ABB Robotics materialförsörjning kommer att påverkas av bytet av leverantörsbas. Det övergripande målet är att utreda och ta fram en modell för hur verksamheter ur ett materialförsörjningsperspektiv påverkas av global handel.Två Microsoft Excel-baserade simuleringsverktyg har tagits fram under detta examensarbete för att möjliggöra kartläggning av leverantörsbytenas inverkan hos ABB Robotics.

Crowdfunding is a phenomenon that is subject to a great growth during the recent years, and the growth rate doesn't seem to stagnate. When new legislation named the JOBS Act in the U.S. becomes effective in late 2015, crowd equity will surely become a popular tool for financing businesses. Because crowdfunding great popularity is caused by the possibility to reach out to crowds through the internet, it is a global phenomenon, why it's relevant to examine current legislations in jurisdictions. This thesis covers an examination of Swedish laws of how they govern crowdfunding, and also suggestions on how the laws should be changed to more efficiently  correspond with the purposes of crowdfunding..
