With the increased significance of information technology (IT) in today?s society the term ?electronic democracy? (e-democracy) has gained much importance within the democracy theory. Naturally, there are several competing views on how the technology should be used for democratic purpose. One aspect of this is the somewhat revitalized claim for direct democracy in accordance with the hypothetical opportunity to finally realize it as a democratic system. The ideal of direct democracy combined with the almost total credence in the potential of technology constitute the idea of a ?push-button democracy?.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och analysera hur livsmedelsproducenter använder sig av varumärkes- och produktstrategier för att få sina produkter representerade i butikernas sortiment. Uppsatsen har också i avsikt att jämföra leverantörernas strategier sinsemellan för att fastställa och förklara eventuella skillnader. Med bakgrund av den ökade konkurrensen i brödbranschen behandlar teorikapitlet de två huvudsakliga strategier för leverantörer av mjukt bröd i Sverige. Varumärkes- och produktstrategier beskrivs där som de viktigaste för leverantörer av egna varumärken. Genom kvalitativa platsintervjuer har empiri samlats in för att ta reda på hur leverantörerna arbetar med ovan nämnda strategier.

Title: The process of gentrification ?the transformation of declined neighbourhoods into attractive ones Gentrification = ?A social process of change where people with high socioeconomic status move into neighbourhoods which traditionally has been dominated by people from the lower classes or from ethnical minorities.? (Nationalencyklopedin 2010).In many cities around the world, disinvested neighbourhoods become the place to be, where everything happens. This usually occurs when different social groups, such as bohemians, homosexuals and artists, move into a declined and disinvested neighbourhood. After a while, people from the middleclass move in to the area due to its increased attractiveness, and start to renovate their properties. This usually leads to higher rents, which force some of the original inhabitants to leave the neighbourhood.

Stockholm is constantly growing and changing. Despite this, for various reasons, it is difficult to execute large building projects. With starting-point in decision making theories we have tried to investigate these difficulties. More specifically we have chosen to study why it has not been possible to rebuilt Slussen in Stockholm. To help us structure our study we have based our research on another large comparable building project, the Globen City project.

In September 2014 the ECJ issued its decision in C-7/13 the Skandia case. The case con- cerned service transactions made between a main establishment in a third country and its Swedish branch. The branch was a member of a VAT group in Sweden. The ECJ estab- lished that the membership resulted in that the VAT group was considered as one taxable person which meant that the services was considered provided to the group itself and not the separate member. Therefore the transactions were deemed taxable.

Bakgrund och Problem: Immateriella tillgångar fått en viktig och avgörande roll för att skapa konkurrensfördelar. I och med att företag kontinuerligt investerar i immateriella tillgångar kan inte längre den traditionella finansiella redovisningen exakt uppskatta ett företags verkliga värde.Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka relationen mellan intern rapportering av intellektuellt kapital och företags grad av radikal och inkrementell innovation.Teori: Avsnittet är indelat i två delar. Del ett handlar om intellektuellt kapital och intern rapportering av intellektuellt kapital. Del två ger en beskrivning av olika typer av innovation.Metod: Studien baseras på en surveyundersökning vilken utformades webbenkätprogrammet SurveyMonkey. Enkäterna skickades till företag noterade på NASDAQ OMX Small Cap och Mid Cap lista.

Genom ett eget utformat dokument av författarna baserat av PDCA-metoden, visar studiens utfall att implementering av innovationsteknik är fullt möjligt i ett byggföretag som Garant Bygg & Bad. PDCA-dokumentet främjar dessutom innovationsförmågan i förbättringsprocesser i det valda företaget. Till en början bör byggföretag fokusera på små förbättringar i innovationsarbetet, vilket är möjligt med PDCA-dokumentet. För att uppnå optimalt resultat av förbättringsverktyget PDCA anser författarna att vissa specifika punkter är avgörande. Dessa sammanfattas nedan:Ledarskap.

This study investigates the judicial process against Erik Molin, a clerk and former theology student at the University of Uppsala 1734-1739. The main purpose has been twofold; first to investigate the legal process through the various judicial bodies and secondly to analyze the ideas and conceptions about man and society expressed by the authorities and Erik Molin. The theoretical approach has been inspired by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas? theories concerning the emergence of the bourgeois society and the changing concepts of private and public spheres. The study shows that the diocese of Uppsala regarded Molin's theology as heretic and found that he knowingly had tried to spread his views.

In todays' society e-commerce is growing at a rapid speed. 4,6 % of all retail sales on the Swedish market are done on the Internet. In the makeup category, which will be the category of focus in this study, 9 % of all the sales were done on the Internet during the last quarter of 2011. As it is today many suppliers do not have enough knowledge about e-commerce and instead of focusing on the development of the channel the focus should instead be on the development of the users of the channel.The purpose of this study is to understand the buying process with respect to the existing theories. The focus will be on the two stages information search and evaluation of alternatives.

Our aim with this paper is to study the debate concerning the refusal of entry of the two Egyptians and the involvement of USA, to see if the Swedish sovereignty has been compromised. We have chosen two theories, realism and radicalism, to read if opinions can be identified of supporting one of them. The empiricism we selected are from debate articles in the big news papers Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet and Expressen. We also studied the debate in the Riksdag . The method we used was qualitative and is called analysis of content.The result we could conclude was that most of the debaters are disappointed with how the government handled the whole situation, but still believes that it made the decision on itself.
