The aim of this paper is to investigate the underlying motifs leading to the decision to appoint a supplemental liquidity provider and how they vary between companies. As the first study of its kind to take on an internal company perspective, the goal was to broaden the knowledge base of the field and lay ground for further studies. The study has been conducted by interviewing companies providing the service, their customers and the stock exchanges which they are traded on. The results show that there are two main motifs for appointing a liquidity provider, 1) Creating conditions for increased trade and 2) Improving the pricing of the stock.

Under de senaste decennierna har det ökat ett intresse för det så kallade psykologiska kontraktet. Det psykologiska kontraktet innehåller de förväntningar på skyldigheter som finns mellan arbetsgivare och arbetstagare. Även om forskning har ökat finns det fortfarande luckor i hur individuella aspekter påverkar. Syftet med den här studien är därför att undersöka om könstillhörighet har någon inverkan på upplevelsen av psykologiska kontraktet. Studien kommer undersöka om det finns några eventuella skillnader mellan könen samt om det finns några skillnader mellan könen i upplevelsen av att psykologiska kontraktet har uppfyllts.

In the social sciences, geopolitical theory is used in order to analyze states actions and commitments when it comes to foreign policy. This thesis develops a new understanding of geopolitical theory. Firstly, the development and application of geopolitical theory, from its foundations in the early twentieth century to contemporary geopolitical studies is discussed. Secondly a revised understanding of the variables integrated in the concept and how it can be operationalized as an analytical tool is presented and tested empirically.The critical assessment of the research field of geopolitical theory tells us that six different geopolitical perspectives have been considered the most influential (room, strategy, power projection, identity, affiliation and governance) when it comes to analyzing state action. This model is applied as an analytical tool and thus tested on a single case.
