Since 2005 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has prescribed a mandatory requirement that all ?Publicly Consolidated Entities? abide by the ?International Financial Reporting Standards? (IFRS). However, due to a difference in institutional elements, between countries, differences in financial reporting are still possible. This essay aims to identify such differences between Swedish and British companies in their adaptation of the IFRS, specifically differences in; ?Disclosure Requirements for Goodwill? specified in ?IAS 36 p 134?.

Social Marketing kampanjer syftar till att genomföra en beteendeförändring hos allmänheten genom användning av olika typer av informationskampanjer.Syftet med denna studie är att ta fram en modell med hjälp av en sammanställd litteraturgenomgång inom social marketing och genom denna sammanställning se vad som utmärker en framgångsrik och en mindre framgångsrik social marketing kampanj. Studien baseras på en kvalitativ undersökning. Det har genomförts en intervju med respektive representant för Rosa Bandet-kampanjen och Mustaschkampen samt en granskning av tidigare datainsamling. Kampanjerna är utformade efter liknande strategier och mål vilket gör att kampanjerna är lika när det kommer till utformningen. Trots att utformningen av de båda kampanjerna är lika har mottagningen av respektive kampanj sett väldigt olika ut.Utifrån studiens resultat kan man utläsa att Mustaschkampens utförande av kampanjen innehåller ett antal bristande val vilket har bidragit till att genomslagskraften sett olika ut för de båda kampanjerna.

The world is getting smaller. Global markets, political processes and communication technology bring people together. Even though many of these processes are dynamic and constructive, they have also resulted in a need for better and more effective ways of international conflict resolution. This thesis investigates central issues connected to the concept of humanitarian interventions in relation to current and future legislation of the European Union. The overall question is whether the rapid globalization process has resulted in a change of international law towards more liberal view where authorization of the security council is not always needed? And, if there has actually been such a liberalization, how does that affect the legal possibilities for the European Union to carry out armed operations without the consent of the global community? The conclusion of the thesis is that international law has been modified mainly in two aspects: First, the concept of sovereignty is no longer seen merely as a right of the nation, but also as a responsibility.

Since the 1980s, the management philosophy New Public Management has resulted in major changes in the public administration system in several countries, especially in the West. A market oriented approach and an increased focus on performance measurement are ideals that are salient in these changes. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine the management philosophy?s influence on international relations through a critical analysis of some of its ideals in the management of international development cooperation, where effectiveness, quality, and results have been new dominant concepts. Through a qualitative content analysis of a Swedish Communication from 2014 ? the Aid Policy Framework ? and a debate in the Swedish parliament where this Communication was discussed, different themes that reflect the strategy of so called results based management in Sweden are identified.

This thesis examines effects that occur when consumers are placed in a negative category by the sender in an internet marketing context. The effects studied are attitude towards the ad, attitude towards the media, sense of being monitored and sense of being categorized. The authors argue that consumers will become increasingly aware of the fundamentals of internet marketing and how advertisements online are being directed towards them. Consumers will thus, to a larger extent than today, analyze advertisements and how they have been individually categorized by the sender. This will affect the way advertisements are perceived.

Third-party apps have disrupted the mobile industry, attracted a high number of developers and set the standard for the industry.
