As artificial intelligence (AI) has gained more influence in recruitment, both recruitment processes and the role of the recruiter are changing. This study aims to describe and analyze how recruiters translate, use, and relate to AI in their work. Through a qualitative method based on semi-structured interviews and document analysis, the study explores recruiters? experiences, attitudes, as well as perceived obstacles and opportunities regarding the use of AI in recruitment. With a theoretical foundation in translation theory, fashion, and imitation, the study examines how AI is not only followed as a trend, but also shaped and adapted locally through translation, depending on organizational identity and needs.

Bakgrund och syfteIstället för att bedöma och värdera en coach utifrån dålig eller bra kan en coach ses utifrån ett kontinuum där nybörjare är den ena ytterligheten och expert den andra ytterligheten. Tidigare forskning om expert-coacher har två inriktningar, utveckling av expertis inom coaching och expert-coachens kännetecken och förmågor. Kännetecken och förmågor hos en expert-coach kan ses som nyckelbegrepp i denna studie. Underliggande begrepp inom expert-coachens kännetecken är karaktärsdrag, beteende och coach/ledarstil. Underliggande begrepp inom expert-coachens förmågor är kunskap och psykologiska färdigheter.

The essay concerns "the knowledge society", IT and the possibilities of school being changedto meet the future. The purpose was to reflect the ideas of researchers and authorities concerningwork and education in "the knowledge society" and to illuminate/shed light on theimportance of information technology in this connection, to map organizational and pedagogicalshortcomings in the current school system and the changes that can be needed, and to investigatehow these changes can affect teachers, pupils and librarians.The investigation, which was a text analysis of normative and futurist sources, was especiallydirected towards how modem information technology can influence education/teaching.The differences between researchers and authorities were most obvious in the view of theimportance of knowledge of facts and central control mechanisms for standards or grading.For the authorities, who were devoid of a thought out/carefully prepared and consequent viewof knowledge and by that also of pedagogics, the information technique was the foremostcause of a change in pedagogy. The researchers also perceived the possibilities of IT, butemphasized the importance of pedagogical innovations irrespective of the technology.

Uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka vilka motiv ett kunskapsföretag kan ha för att behålla hela sin rekryteringsprocess internt istället för att outsourca den. I uppsatsen har vi utgått från en tolkande ansats och har därför använt oss av den kvalitativa och abduktiva metoden samt genomfört semistrukturerade intervjuer. Utifrån vår analys av empirisk data och valda teorier har vi resonerat om att Nimetöns rekryteringsprocess inte kan kategoriseras som kärnkompetens. Eftersom Nimetön är ett kunskapsföretag är det dock troligt att rekryteringen är nära kopplad till human kapitalet, som är företagets kärnkompetens. Därmed anser vi att det skulle kunna vara en av anledningarna till att företaget valt att behålla rekryteringen internt.

The profit a company makes is dependant of its employees which means that their competence is important for the company to perform well. The middle manager has a central position in the organization and is expected to take on different roles. This probably puts a lot of demands on the middle managers and their competence. We want to contribute with a comprehension of how learning, competence and needs for competence can look at a middle management level. Furthermore we also want to find out what kind of strategy for competence development the middle managers want the company to use so their competence development can be facilitated.

Studien redogör för vilka fördelar det finns med en anskaffning av affärssystem som molntjänst vilket är ett nytt och fortfarande relativt outforskat område. IT-relaterade tidskrifter och artiklar skildrar molntekniken som ett fenomen vilken kommer förändra IT-industrin, molnteknikens påverkan jämförs med både pc-revolutionen och uppkomsten av elektriciteten. Det är denna studies syfte att undersöka vilka fördelar som i praktiken motiverar företag till att anskaffa ett molnbaserat affärssystem. Studien har avgränsats till att enbart fokusera på tre företag. Vi har även haft som avgränsning att endast använda oss av företag som använder ett heltäckande affärssystem över molnet.

During 2004 to 2008, The United States Marine Corps (USMC) executed counterinsurgency operations in Anbar Province with the purpose to stabilize one of the most violent areas in Iraq. The Marine Corps successfully managed to suppress the insurgency as violence dropped dramatically in late 2007. What did the marines do in order to suppress the insurgency? Why did violence drop in the province? The Marine Corps approach and procedures have been examined earlier through theories of organizational learning and adaptation. However, there is an absence of studies aiming to analyse the Marine Corps? counterinsurgency approach through the analytical lens of counterinsurgency theory.

Världsmarknaden för läkemedel växer stadigt då världens befolkning blir allt äldre och allt fler människor världen över har råd med läkemedel. Trots en ökande marknad minskar läkemedelsbranschens lönsamhet vilket delvis kan förklaras med minskad produktivitet i den kliniska forskningsfasen (då läkemedlet testas på människor). Antalet kliniska prövningar i Indien och Kina ökar kraftigt. Har detta något samband med läkemedelsföretagens strävan efter högre FoU-produktivitet? Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka faktorer som är av vikt vid val av land att etablera kliniska prövningar i, vilka affärsmodeller som används vid etablering av kliniska prövningar i Indien och Kina samt vilken påverkan en etablering i dessa länder har på företagens FoU-produktivitet.

The theme of this bachelor thesis in sociology has been developed through the perspective of ?grounded theory?, where the writers starting point touched the subject of integration in the organization Samhall in Sweden, an organization that hires disabled individuals that do not have enough working abilities to be hired any place else. From there, the methodology moved into a qualitative research through interviews with first generation immigrants hired at Samhall, where the result presented clear patterns of integration problems such as identification with an organization that does not have a normal way of working, the feelings of security which led to an unwillingness to leave the organization (which actually is the main goal of Samhall) and the stigmatized presumptions of the organization as such that makes it even harder to get a regular job on the open work market. These patterns were then put together with theories of stigma, cultural sociology and organizational identification, which three were the theoretical framework of this thesis. This study has contributed with an enlightenment of how it is to be an immigrant in a state governed organization and the consequences that follow when integrating an immigrant in a work disabled working environment. .

The purpose of this study was to examine how the authorities in Sweden collaborate when it comes to discourage trafficking for sexual purposes. More specifically the aim was to find which directives and problems the work of the individual authorities constitute in and how does it affect collaboration with other authorities. The study was based on interviews with six respondents, which have experience working within this field. Three themes were identified: what is collaboration, different perspectives, regulatory frameworks and different fundamental values within the organisations. The study concluded that collaboration is affected by several factors such as the absence of knowledge about trafficking for sexual purposes and the laws which regulate confidentiality, difficulties in defining collaboration as a concept and the authorities different ideas about what have to be done in the context of discouraging trafficking for sexual purposes.

Ett företags organisationskultur består av ett gemensamt värdesystem som har en meningsskapande funktion för de anställda i företaget som identifierar sig med organisationen. I en företagsfusion, där två eller flera företag går samman, har det visat sig vara svårt att förena olika organisationskulturer på grund av motstånd från de anställda. Tidigare forskning kring detta har till stor del fokuserat på de anställdas agerande i en fusion. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur anställdas meningsskapande i en fusion påverkades av deras identifikation med organisationen. Med en kvalitativ intervjustudie undersöktes hur anställda i fyra företag hade upplevt en fusion av företagen.
