This study will shed light on the subject of system management and system management models. It is important that everyone within an administrative organization understand business objectives and needs of the users who work with the systems.

Today's young people increasingly tend to sit at home and relax, instead of being out and meet friends. This is based on my observations from my experience as a teacher. They are more and more in front of their computers and living their lives through their various Internet sites. There I was, stuck on how they behave in their environment, both private and public but also to their friends and their families versus their "internetlife". Young people are more and more at home and even the daily discussion are now placed on the internet instead of face to face communications or on the phone.This essay deals with the subjects selfrepresentation and self-identity that Erving Goffman handled in his bookThe self in everyday life respectively Anthony Giddens in Modernity and Sef-Identity.

In these days of globalization, with a higher level of openness and interaction over geographical, cultural and economical borders, the importance of the company?s intangible asset, its brand, is gaining importance as a differentiating factor. Building a strong brand and the emphasis on strategic brand management is something that before was given less attention in firms but today we can see a general increase in awareness and relative emphasis in the strategic work of companies.Countries as brands: Is it possible to consider a nation or a country as a brand the same way you consider a product? Well, looking in to the subject it seems to be a rather complex matter and there are many questions to be asked and answer. Nations around the globe are indeed marketing and positioning themselves for several purposes.

Det är vanligt att modevarumärken efter en längre tid på marknaden uppfattas olika hos kund. Genom en stark varumärkespersonlighet och varumärkesidentitet uppfattar kunden modevarumärken i identitet och image, genom vad företagen levererar och utlovar i association och värderingar genom sina varumärken. I förhållande till vad en kund upplever och uppfattar, är det dessa preferenser som styr vid varumärkespreferenser. Uppsatsen har i syfte att undersöka hur ett modeföretag, med en mycket stark varumärkesidentitet hos yngre tjejer, kan profilera sig mot kategorin ?yngre mogen kvinna?? Litteratur har studerats kring vilka olika delar av varumärkesidentitet och image som kan skapa medkänslor och tilltro till varumärke.

I dagens Sverige är marknadsläget i ständig förändring och på grund av den rådande lågkonjunkturen var år 2011 ett år präglat av minskad försäljning inom detaljhandeln. En verksamhet som drabbats hårt av den senaste lågkonjunkturen är RNB Retail and Brands och då främst deras koncept Sisters. På grund av de sjunkande försäljningssiffrorna har ett beslut tagits som innebär att Sisters hösten 2012 ska sluta producera och distribuera sitt interna varumärke och istället enbart verka som återförsäljare av externa varumärken. Frågan vi då ställer oss är vad de sjunkande försäljningssiffrorna kan bero på. Är det så att de inte känner den målgrupp de vänder sig till? Eller har de inte kunskap om vad målgruppen efterfrågar i ett erbjudande från Sisters? Kunskap om vilken image som är förenat med sitt företag är av hög prioritet eftersom det kan ge en indikation på eventuella förändringar som bör göras i varumärkesstrategin.

This is a discourse analysis concerning the visions for Malmö's future. Three concepts are studied to see which meaning these are given in the Malmö context. The studied concepts are ? development (utveckling), industry (näringsliv) and citizen (befolkning).The meanings of these concepts are studied against a backdrop of theories of inclusion/exclusion in general and inclusion/exclusion in the city more specific. Michael Foucault´s notion of a discourse which stigmatizes those not following a behaviour which is defined as being right and normal is central to this.

The purpose of this study was to examine the routines of performance related pay systems in two Swedish municipal upper secondary schools. A second purpose was to examine what data was included for evaluation of a co-worker?s performance and how a principal collects data.

Principals have been interviewed and teachers have answered a questionnaire to fulfil the purposes of this study.The study shows that the municipality had a good routine that included individual discussions with co-workers about their salary and had fixed municipal criteria.

The aim of this thesis is to examine how four decision makers at a University College and a library director at the same University College perceive the profile, image and identity of their library. This University College library is used as our main example. We have evaluated the main example in relation to two other University College libraries, in order to obtain a deeper understanding of how these library directors view their own libraries and to attain a more multi-dimensional view of the main example of our study. Our intention is to analyse the current situation, not the past nor the future. Qualitative semi-structured interviews with decision makers and library directors have been conducted.

The amount of information stored on the internet grows daily and naturally the requirements on the systems used to search for and analyse information increases. As a part in meeting the raised requirements this study investigates if it is possible for a automatised text analysis system to distinguish certain groups and categories of words in a text, and more specifically investigate if it is possible to distinguish words with a high information value from words with a low information value. This is important to enable optimizations of systems for global surveillance and information retrieval. The study is carried out using word spaces, which are often used in text analysis to model language. The distributional character of certain categories of words is examined by studying the intrinsic dimensionality of the space, locally around different words.

Man has always in one way or another had to take risks in order to survive, but in today's society, voluntary risks increased markedly. It is about both physical and financial risks.

We want to see how extreme sports performers own picture looks compared to how the media presents them. We have in this essay interviewed two long sailors, a BASE jumper and an ex-mountain climber to see how the performers own picture of reality looks.

SyfteUppsatsen ämnar att analysera och utreda:- sambandet mellan trender och erbjudande i resebranschen.- hur trender kan fungera som differentieringsfaktor. MetodVi har i denna uppsats valt att skriva en kvalitativ studie då den ämnar skapa en djupare förståelse för hur företag kan använda trender för sin positionering på en marknad. Undersökning har kommit att anta en abduktiv karaktär då vi utgår från den teoretiska referensramen som sedan anpassas utifrån empirin. Det empiriska datan är insamlad genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem respondenter som verkar inom den svenska resebranschen. SlutsatserI studien har det framkommit att om företag i ett tidigt skede av en trend anpassar sitt erbjudande kan de differentiera sig genom trenden och skapa konkurrensfördelar. Det beror på att om ett företag är först med att ta till sig en trend ökar deras chans att förknippas med trenden i kundernas medvetande. Något annat som framträder i studien är att företagets position kan komma att påverkas negativt om trenden de tagit till sig inte stämmer överens med företagets identitet och kundernas image av varumärket..

Idag är det relativt utbrett bland företag att använda flera försäljningskanaler. Flera kanaler möjliggör att företaget kan nå flera kundsegment och på så vis öka sin lönsamhet.

POC:s mål med de potentiella försäljningskanalerna är att öka sin lönsamhet utan att varumärkets image reduceras.
