The purpose with the thesis is to analyze and investigate the purpose of the co-operations between different brands within the hotel sector. We differentiate these purposes of the collaborations in regard to connections to quality- and environmental oriented symbols..

The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge about whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus) ecology to enhance the ability to predict and also to prevent the crop damage they cause. The largest proportion of damage in Sweden has been reported at stopover sites during spring migration in February, March and April. Therefore, this study focused on an important stopover site, Lake Tysslingen, situated in south-central Sweden. Specifically, the relation between the duration and period migrating swans stage at the stopover site and mean temperature (measured at three different weather stations) for the years 2001-2010 was studied. Furthermore, the swans´ selection for certain fields in relation to field type, distance to roosting site, a supplemental feeding site and forest edge within agricultural land surrounding the lake was analyzed.

Arbetsmarknaden i Silicon Valley karakteriseras av faktorer som hög personalomsättning, nätverkande och risktagande. Denna arbetsmarknad har vuxit fram på en begränsad geografisk yta och består idag ca 7 500 företag. Mjärdevi Science Park är en av de snabbast växande teknikparkerna i världen, varför vi anser att en jämförelse av de båda arbetsmarknaderna är intressant. Syftet är att med utgångspunkt från de faktorer som karakteriserar arbetsmarknaden i Silicon Valley, genomföra en jämförelse med arbetsmarknaden i Mjärdevi Science Park. Denna uppsats kommer inte att behandla vad det är som gör en teknikpark ekonomiskt framgångsrik.

There is an irregularity in the interregional migration in Sweden. An increasing proportion ofthe population is drawn to the metropolitan areas, which creates problems for the smallermunicipalities and towns when their population declines. At the same time, our whole societyis faced with a great challenge: we need to redirect towards a sustainable development, wherethe environmental issues are discussed and dealt with to secure that all present and futuregenerations are given equal opportunities to live a good life.The aim of this study is to, focusing mainly on the environmental dimension of thesustainability concept, examine the attractivity of housing with sustainability claims. Toanswer this, three research questions were used:? Was the migration motive to reduce their environmental impact a part of the decision tomove, among migrants who had moved to housing with sustainability claims?? If the motive was a part of the decision, how much impact did it have compared to othermigration motives?? Which factors in housing aiming at sustainability are considered important by peopleliving in housing with sustainability claims?The research questions have been answered using quantitative data, gained in the form of selfadministeredquestionnaires which were distributed in four different residential areas withsustainability claims in the county of Västra Götaland, Sweden.

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.

De senaste åren har ett antal bolagsskandaler världen över fått stort utrymme i media och satt igång debatten om bolagsstyrning. I vissa fall kan skandalerna relateras till brister i företagets interna kontroll. Detta har fått till följd att intressenterna förlorat förtroendet för företagen och deras finansiella rapportering, vilket i sin tur ökat revisionens betydelse. Fokuseringen på kontroll av företag har ökat, både genom strängare lagstiftning av revisionsarbetet och genom ?koder? för bolagsstyrning.

CSR är ett begrepp som det senaste decenniet har blivit ett allt mer omdiskuterat ämne. En av företagets många intressenter att ta hänsyn till är medarbetarna. Medarbetarnas engagemang kan förbättra företagets CSR-arbete, då det genom medarbetarna blir enklare att förmedla ämnet vidare till kunderna. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ studie är syftet med uppsatsen att undersöka hur Handelsbankens Upplands Väsbys medarbetare uppfattar arbetat med socialt ansvarstagande gällande ansvarsfull kreditgivning. Vidare har vi undersökt hur medarbetarna blir involverad i arbetet.
