Titel:Externa intressenters uppfattning om SMS-kreditgivares image och rykteKurspoäng:15 HPKursnivå:C-uppsats i företagsekonomiFörfattare:Fredrik Akdogan & Christian WandtHandledare:Agneta SundströmBiträdande handledare:Zahra AhmadiExaminator:Akmal HyderDatum:2013-06-Syfte:Syftet är att öka förståelsen för hur SMS-lån uppfattas av potentiella kunder och intresseorganisationer samt hur de ser på långivande företags image och rykte. Delsyftet är att förstå hur bilden av SMS-lån hos intresseorganisationer kan påverka potentiella låntagare i samband med lån.Metod:För att genomföra studien har vi samlat information från artiklar och litteratur. Vi har genomfört intervjuer med anställda på två myndigheter och en intervju med en nyhetsbyrå samt även samlat in data genom en enkätundersökning för att ta reda på hur potentiella låntagare uppfattar SMS-lån och hur de uppfattar information om lånen från intresseorganisationer.Slutsats:Studien har visat att intresseorganisationer har en stark inverkan på företagens image och rykte. Ett samarbete mellan dessa ökar deras förmåga att sprida information till potentiella SMS-låntagare vilket gör att de kan anpassa långivningen att den blir mer informativ och trovärdighet. 5Allmänheten har en mycket dålig bild av dessa företag och dessa skulle vad vi kan anta tjäna på att arbeta på ett sätt som bättre ligger i linje med vad dessa intresseorganisationer vill se.

The topic of this thesis interest is the relation between branding as a place making/marketing technology and the process of regionalization. The main proposition advocated is that the officially communicated image of the Øresund Region, as a cohesive place and community, is a space that has been configured with branding and can be described as a territorial simulation. The concept of territorial simulation consists of two conjoined terms: simulation which aim at explaining the idiosyncratic brand image, as a social formation, which does not represent the place it imitates but commoditise it; and territorial which seeks to visualize the process of the unfolding of this image as a territory. The main argument is made in the third chapter, which traces the process of actualization of the brand image as a territory: ?Øresund?.

Vår empiri består av kvalitativa undersökningar.

This study investigates verbal and visuospatial memory strategies used by individuals with perceptual or cognitive disabilities. The groups concentrated on in this study are deaf individuals who are native sign language users and individuals with dyslexia. The study comprises an experiment and an in-depth study in which a pre-test and a questionnaire were used. Nine deaf signers, two persons with dyslexia and 12 persons without any perceptual or cognitive constraints participated. Of these 23 persons, seven were selected to take part in the in-depth study.

Abstract The present study examined if early deaf people and people with severe hearing loss perceive visual information differently than hearing people. An experiment was conducted with eight deaf participants and eight participants with normal hearing. The participants were between the ages of 18-74 years. The participants were asked to look at fifteen different images portraying manipulated illusions, and then assess if the images were of the same size. Subsequently another image depicting a different illusion with a face hidden in it was presented to the participants.

In recent years, the internet has exploded of images. Not at least in the popular photo-sharing network Instagram as one of the fastest growing social network for the moment. Millions of people around the world share pictures and expose themself for friends and family. We were therefore interested in which experiences and attitudes users have towards their identities in relation to their self-image and self-presentation on Instagram. Furthermore, whether they in general have a primary interest in using Instagram as a tool to experiment with images to present their identity on Instagram, in which way they approach their Instagram follower?s expectations on how they present themselves on Instagram and if they are aware of any strategies in their self-presentation on Instagram.The result of this study is the fact that our respondents thinks that they do not intend to have a primary interest in experimenting with images on Instagram to present their identitiy, it is rather something that comes naturally in how they present themselves on Instagram.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att skapa en förståelse för hur nyetablerade modeföretag kan arbeta med sin identitetsmix för att kommunicera en individualistisk modeimage. Vi har gjort en fallstudie av ett ungt, svenskt modeföretag samt intervjuat fyra återförsäljare inom branschen. Slutsatserna är att ett modeföretag genom sin identitetsmix kan arbeta med att synas i rätt sammanhang, förmedla en känsla av unikhet och professionalism kring företaget, kontinuerligt förnya sin produktlinje samt värna om sin image för att inte överexponeras..

In what way do pictures allow for freedom of interpretation and thoughts rather thanunderstanding reality in a high paced medium? Children today are exposed more thanever to images trough various media. Children?s culture in the digital world has, troughgames and apps, become more cross-generational than literature. Unfortunately, there aremany digital books that loose the story, as the creator gets lost in technology and/or ineducation and morals.

This essay describes the Swedish furniture business and its strong competition between domestic and foreign producers. As the demand on higher development speed grows stronger, alongside a fierce competition between the companies, long lasting and unique qualities such as customer relations and strong brand names become crucial. Nowadays many furniture producers chose to sell their products through retailers and they therefore miss out on invaluable direct contact with their customers. Consequently, this means that they lack the perquisite to build relations or more importantly, to communicate their brand.To illustrate the problem a case study and a survey have been carried out. The study compares the strategic marketing works between producers who have own concept stores and those who uses retailers.

Personal branding is a common phenomenon within the Swedish business world, although less applied on the competitive and fast paced music industry. In order to strengthen Swedish artists' personal brands and to ensure congruence between the artists' presented identities and the target audiences' perceived images, we have developed a model, containing of seven essential factors. The seven dimensions authenticity, credibility, certainty, openness, availability, awareness and timeliness help improve strength when communicating brand identity, as well as minimizing potential discrepancy between identity and image. This report examines the brand strategies within the Swedish music industry through a case study of Sweden's largest pop star, Eric Saade, where Team Saade's communicated identity is compared to the targets audience's perceived image of Saade. Overall, Saade's personal brand has a high level of congruence, except from the clarity dimension, where his words are considered differing from his actions.
