Bakgrund: Begreppet corporate governance har på senare tid fått en ökad betydelse i den bolagsrättsliga kontexten. Enligt Svensk Kod för Bolagsstyrning så ska företag på reglerade marknader avlägga en bolagsstyrningsrapport bifogad till sin årsredovisning. En stor del av rapporten utgörs av en presentation av bolagets interna kontroll och riskhantering avseende den finansiella rapporteringen. Här har företagen möjlighet att stärka sina aktieägares och andra potentiella investerares förtroende för sin verksamhet. Men vad är det som styr hur företagen väljer att framställa och presentera denna information? Enligt institutionell teori så finns det faktorer i ett företags omgivning som påverkar organisationens medlemmars agerande och ett sådant tryck är att styrelseledamöter påverkas av styrelseledamöter i andra företag.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the legal protection against sexual harassment at work functions, and where to draw the line. The study is limited to focus on the sexual harassment directed at women from men, because it usually occurs that way even though only a few report the incidents. The results are discussed from a gender perspective on how the distribution of power is between men and women as a way to explain sexual harassment.Sexual harassment is currently protected by the discrimination law and the EU principle of equal treatment for men and women. For a behavior to be considered as sexual harassment it has to be unwanted by the receiving party and the person practicing the harassments must be aware that the behavior is perceived as offensive. The behavior shall be of a sexual nature and contribute to a disadvantage for the victim in the form of a violation of that persons integrity.It is the victim that determines whether the behavior is perceived as sexual harassment or not, what one person believes is a friendly behavior may be perceived as offensive by another.

Bolagsstyrning och intern kontroll har diskuterats mycket de senaste åren. Företagens kontrollsystem har synats och gjorts publika på olika sätt i försök att minska risken för fel och oegentligheter. Den ökade fokuseringen på företagets kontrollprocesser är enligt många ett steg i rätt riktning för ökad tillförlitlighet och effektivitet i kontrollerna men på senare tid har man även börjat prata om värderingarnas roll i detta pussel. En förutsättning för att den interna kontrollen ska fungera är att ledningen tar ansvar för att en kultur som stödjer kontrollerna växer fram. Samtidigt finns idag behov av mer decentraliserade organisationer där anställda ges förtroende att agera. Företagen måste hitta nya former att styra företag som tar tillvara på människors förmåga och på samma gång tydliggör spelreglerna.

The paper's purpose has evolved during the process of researching and writing it. In the beginning it was to investigate if art and culture could increase the strength and knowledge of a brand and if there existed a knowledge about this amongst Swedish companies, situated in Stockholm. During the process the purpose has evolved into exploring the type of companies that acknowledge this and those that don't. By using Bourdieu's terminology and tools, the reasons behind the use of art has been analyzed.The paper employs an explorative approach by accessing data through interviews and public data provided by the Internet through web pages and government files.The paper comes to the conclusion that what Holt calls cultural branding has not evolved, when looking at the companies that are accurate for this study. Out of 24 companies only one comes close to observing socio cultural movements through the arts.

Syftet med denna studie är att öka förståelsen för hur värderingar kan användas som styrmedel och dessutom klarlägga dess fördelar och nackdelar sett ur ett medarbetarperspektiv. Vi kommer i vår undersökning ta reda på vilken funktion värderingarna har på ett företag och dessutom undersöka hur de anställda på företaget upplever användandet av värderingar. Eftersom syftet med undersökningen är att öka vår förståelse för fenomenet värderingar valde vi att använda oss av en kvalitativ metod. Studien är gjord på ett företag i tjänstesektorn som vill vara anonymt, och vi har sammanlagt genomfört sju intervjuer, där en av intervjuerna hölls med en representant från ledningen. Genom att diskutera och resonera kring ämnet värderingar har respondenterna hjälpt oss att svara på våra frågeställningar som vi presenterar i olika kategorier som urskiljt sig ur vårt insamlade material.

The purpose of this study is to develop and practically evaluate a new approach for the introduction of changes in internal and external processes in a customer front, but with the aim of maintaining or increasing customer perceived quality during insertion. A working model has been developed and is used in a qualitative research in the form of a case study carried out in a customer front, on a customer group in Telia's mobile customer service in Sweden. There is currently little research that has studied the implementation phase.The results of the study show that the designed working model works satisfactorily, but also that it can be developed more. Employees are satisfied and the sale was a positive boost, however, declined the customer experience a little bit. Employees raises questions as leader behavior, confidence in the group ahead, everyone's different circumstances and desire for the individual choice.The biggest challenge for future leaders will be to manage and lead continuous change.

The companies of today figures on a hardly competitive market. This makes it necessary for the company to find new way to create competition advantages. Since it is no longer enough to compete with the technical quality of the product the companies are forced to also enhance the functional quality. To accomplish this it becomes necessary for producing companies to be customer oriented. A customer oriented company culture can be reached with the help of internal marketing in which different activities work to inform and teach the employees about the company strategy and also about their own role as part-time marketers.This thesis examines Electrolux, a company which is currently striving to develop a customer oriented company culture.

The forest industry is anonymous among the young people of today. Many youngsters do not know what the forest industry has to offer. As a result of this, many schools and forest have a weak recruitment. This is not a problem for Sweden and the forest industry only, many other businesses companies suffer from in Sweden and other countries in Europe share the same image problem. The interest and values of young people drives them to look for opportunities in other betterknown sectors with better image and reputation. Many companies report having problems with recruiting the best and right employees and fear that the recruiting-problems will increase when the older generation born in the 1940?s will retire.

Internprissättning är priser på varor eller tjänster som levereras mellan enheter inom ett större företag. Det visar sig att interna priser kan göra det möjligt för ett företag att mer effektivt styra företaget mot de gemensamma målen. En debiteringsmodell kan användas för att koppla interndebitering till en utförd leverans där en skriftlig begäran skickas elektronisk till mottagaren med besked om belopp och vart pengarna ska betalas. Priset som anges är antingen baserat utifrån en prislista som uppdateras kontinuerligt eller beräknas omgående och fastställs per beställning. Genom att bygga in servicenivåer i en debiteringsmodell kan beställningsbeteende inom intern logistik ändras genom att chefer gör beställare medvetna om hur deras val påverkar produktionsenhetens ekonomi. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka huruvida en debiteringsmodell för intern transport kan förändra beställningsbeteenden och sänka kostnader för intern logistik.
