Modern societies are generally becoming increasingly capitalist in nature and economies of these societies are thus likely to become more focused on consumer consumption. Advertising plays a vital role in contemporary society where we, as consumers and citizens, are surrounded by it everywhere we look and everywhere we go. This puts pressure on advertisers to become more creative and to explore new ways of marketing their products and services in an already saturated environment. We believe that the added pressure and the already established role of marketing in society make advertisements an interesting and telling object for analysis. This is particularly the case with regards to the concept of selling and marketing products that have qualities that are known to be less than beneficial for our health.This paper analyzes four commercial advertisements marketing beer; a product that we argue has qualities that can be seen as potentially bad for the health of individuals and for societies.

Bakgrund: Andelen kortbetalningar ökar varje år, trots detta pågår det ständigt en diskussion om nya betalningslösningar. Anledningen är bland annat att kontanthanteringen och säkerheten anses kunna bli effektivare. Snabbare köpprocess och nya marknadsföringsmetoder är andra delar som en ny betalningslösning anses kunna bidra med till ett samhälle där konkurrensen är stenhård. Detta gör att betalningslösningar är ett intressant ämne att fördjupa sig i.Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att skapa ökad förståelse för vad som är viktigt och vad som ligger till grund för att en ny teknologisk lösning ska kunna resultera i upplevt kundvärde.Vi avser att beskriva och analysera värde och värdeskapande för att sedan dra paralleller till hur en ny teknologisk lösning kan dra nytta av detta för att ett kundvärde ska uppstå.Metod: Metoden som vi har använt oss av för denna uppsats är kvalitativ som har präglats av en abduktiv ansats. Det empiriska materialet har vi samlat in genom fem intervjuer.

The tsunami in Thailand in 2004, 9/11 and hurricane Katrina in New Orleans 2005 are all reminders that no organization is immune to crises, which also means that all organizations should be prepared and know how to handle a crisis if one was to occur. A case study has been conducted, on a crisis regarding a fire that occurred on the 31st of July 2014 in Västmanland, Sweden. Through Qualitative interviews empirical data was gathered and then analyzed together with our theories and previous research. The purpose of the study is to analyze how the municipalities affected and the County Administrative Board of Sweden handled and communicated with/to the public during the fire that spread in Västmanland 2014. Our study shows that a risk analysis and analysis of surroundings is crucial in anticipating a crisis event and that it is essential for organizations to undergo training to prepare organization members on how to handle a crisis. Another conclusion is that the need for information is large during a crisis event and grows throughout the entire course of the crisis. The crisis that we studied had a lack of information, but at the same time the public?s need for information is a need that can?t be satisfied during a crisis.

Did the coverage differ between the two countries and who got to comment on the situation in the media were two of the questions I strived to answer. I also wanted to see how the coverage reflected on the situation that the euro crisis has created.In this study I used a number of theories that I based my research on. The main theories I focused on was about different media systems and Sweden and Spain ?s relation to the euro crisis.
