Ny kunskap är idag en förutsättning för moderna organisationers utveckling och framgång. Nya medarbetare är ett viktigt tillskott till organisationer och kompetens anses ha så stort värde att vissa organisationer skulle vilja ha en inventering av organisationens kompetens som tillgång i sin redovisning. Syftet för denna explorativa studie har varit att undersökta om, och i så fall hur, kunskapsöverföring sker vid introduktion av nya medarbetare. Medarbetare på olika nivåer i tre olika organisationer har intervjuats och materialet har sedan bearbetats med tematisk induktiv analys. Resultatet visar att delar av kunskapsöverföringen fungerade bra och kontroll samt system för detta fanns.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur vårdpersonalen på ett äldreboenderesonerar kring äldres behov av aktivitet och social samvaro. I arbetet undersöks hurvårdpersonalens rutiner ser ut och hur social samvaro och aktivering prioriteras för deäldre. Jag använt mig av tidigare forskning, semistrukturerade intervjuer och tre teorier ?disengagemangsteorin, aktivitetsteorin och signifikanta andra för att svara påfrågeställningarna. Genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre personer som arbetar på ettäldreboende fann jag att respondenternas svar överensstämmer med tidigare forskningbeträffande att aktivering och social samvaro är viktigt för de äldre.

Bakgrund och problemdiskussion Ett flertal företagsskandaler har ägt rum i modern tid, bland andra Enron och Worldcom. Följden har blivit regleringar i form av SOX i USA, åttonde direktivet inom EU och Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning i Sverige. Dessa betonar bolagets interna kontroller, vilka syftar till att hantera och kontrollera företagets risker. Det är i hög grad de anställda som utför kontrollmomenten och därför anser vi det intressant att undersöka hur de uppfattar och förstår de interna kontrollerna. Syfte Rapportens syfte är att för de personer som är ansvariga för utformning och uppföljning av intern kontroll belysa hur kontrollerna kan förstås av personalen.

In this study, we have considered the impact the organization`s implementation of its vision of the psychosocial work enviroment has been for the relations between the employees. We have primarily relied on a hermeneutic approach to understand our empirical data, and when we have interpreted and made a socialpsycological analysis on our collected empirical data. We have used Smith´s Institutional Ethnography, Sheff`s Social bonds and Asplund`s theory of Social responsivity. To collect the empirical data we have combined quantitative and qualtitative methods and a textanalysis at a visiondocument in the aim of capture both the depht and the breadth of our chosen fields of study. The results we have found shows that the psycosocial work environment within the organization can be seen as interplay between individual and enviroment and between individuals as well and that this interaction is influenced by the organizational culture that is created by the organization`s political vision.

SELF CONTROL är ett undersökande examensarbete i textildesign. Med en textil hantverksmetod undersöker jag mötet mellan kontroll, tidsåtgång och material. Detta med utgångspunkt i en feministisk diskurs. Jag ser kontroll som något som exkluderar, censurerar och begränsar möjliga uttryck inom textilt hantverk på samma sätt som kvinnokroppen kontrolleras i ett patriarkat. Jag har använt mig utav en performativ och repetitiv metod som aktivt har gått ut på att bryta mot föreställningar om hur hantverket ska utföras.

The purpose with this paper is to examine whether other peoples opinions of a song and an artist influences an individuals own opinions of the song and artist. Through a quantitative study we seek to study whether such an influence exists and if it does, how strong that influence is. The study began with a pretest to examine whether differences existed when we manipulated our independent variable, how many times the song has been played at Myspace.com. Subsequently we performed a quantitative study by handing out surveys to students at Stockholm School of Economics on two different occasions. Our results show no significant differences in attitude or intentions when the amount of times the song has been played at Myspace.com is manipulated.

Homelessness has always been and will always be a problem in every society. How should we organize the work and care for these people? There are three different types of welfare states, the liberal, the conservative and the social democratic. In the liberal welfare state the market is the supplier of the public good. In the conservative state the family and church and in the social democratic the state is the supplier of the public welfare.The Swedish welfare state has been the archetype of social democratic welfare with de principal of ?Folkhemmet? in focus.

The main purpose of this study was that, in the light of theories of how street level bureaucrats may affect the implementation of political decisions, examine and analyze the social workers interpretations of the child perspective's impact on the handling of social assistance, and what opportunities and/or limitations they feel that the organizational preconditions means for the application. The survey had a qualitative research approach and consisted of eight thematic interviews with a total of ten respondents operating in five different municipalities. Eight of the respondents were social workers dealing directly with social assitance and two had managerial positions. The results of the interviews were then analyzed with the help of an actor-structure approach to implementation and Michael Lipskys theory of street-level bureaucrats and their role as policy makers. The results of the survey showed that the respondents had relatively similar views on the child perspectives implications for work with social assistance.

Social media, with its immense and continuous flow of information, has in recent years growntremendously in terms of users and content. This increase has led companies and organizations keen to be seen within these channels of communication, but do they always have a clear idea of how andwhy, and are they aware of the risks that are associated with it? Current research on social media is somewhat divided in two. The debate concerns, among other things, what value the information on social media has, and whether the media is really a good communication channel or not. This raises several questions, for example can a company really afford to remain outside of social media with allthe information it generates? This research aims at answering these questions in order to further understand how organizations discuss social media presence and strategies.

Social enterprises are increasingly gaining ground as an organisational form in Sweden, however the institutional structures for financing these types of organisations are yet to be established. With its usual origin within the civic society, social enterprises prioritise a higher goal than to maximise economic profit, which often causes these organisations to be dependent upon resources from external constituents within its institutional environment. The aim of this study was to examine how a social enterprise, which derives from the civic society, acts to mobilise resources from constituents in its institutional environment. This was executed through a case study of Jordbro Världsorkester (JVO) - a typical organisation in the civic society which takes the form of a social enterprise - by identifying how assets were used to gain resources in strategic responses to institutional processes and examining how institutional processes affects how JVO acts. Throughout the study, qualitative interviews were conducted with JVO and constituents in its institutional environment and a theoretical framework was developed which explains how capital is used to gain more capital in an emergent strategy of strategic responses as the organisation gets in contact with institutional processes from its institutional environment.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida ett planerat förändringsinitiativ uppfattas av initiativtagare respektive mottagare samt vad detta kan ge för konsekvenser.

Syftet med studien var att beskriva på vilka sätt personer med Multipel Skleros (MS) hanterar sin livssituation samt om, och i så fall hur det påverkar utförandet av aktivitet.Metoden som valdes var en systematisk litteraturstudie. I studien ingick tio stycken artiklar som valdes enligt uppsatta inklusions- och exklusionskriterier. De tio inkluderade artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades och analyserades.Resultatet visade att det var en omöjlighet att leva med MS utan att bli påverkad av dess inverkan då MS inkräktade på många områden i en persons liv. Den variation på symptom som följer med MS begränsade och hade negativ påverkan på aktivitet, sysselsättning och välmående. Det visade sig vara av stor vikt och betydelsefullt för personer med MS att hitta sätt att hantera sina svårigheter på.
