Relationen mellan fastighetsinvesterare och banken är också av avgörande betydelse då fastighetsinvesteraren är i behov av likvida medel för sitt fastighetsköp.

The European Union has set new requirements as well in purpose of reducing humanity?s negative effect on the climate and therefore the international real estate market has introduced Green Building-certificates in order to decrease the real estate industry?s environmental impact.Certificated buildings with low energy consumption are a more common sight in Sweden these days. The development, however, could go even faster if there was not certain difficulties between property owners and tenants. Previous research has revealed that tenants do not always have knowledge about, or may have access to the economic benefits that a green building can provide.

Den dag ett börsnoterat företag skall offentliggöra sin årsredovisning är alla externa intressenters strålkastare riktade mot just det företaget, vilket brukar medföra en viss uppståndelse. Scenariot brukar vara att VD:n berättar hur verksamheten har utvecklats, och i var mans hand återfinns en årsredovisning till utformningen likt ett tjockt magasin med tidsriktig design. Men vad hittar vi mellan dessa pärmar och vad är det för siffror VD:n talar om? Balansräkning, noter, förvaltningsberättelse, finansieringsanalys och resultaträkning är de delar som enligt ÅRL skall ingå i företagets årsredovisning. Resultaträkningens uppgift är att förmedla resultatet för den gångna perioden och i FAR rekommenderas att följande resultatmått skall förmedlas i ett företags årsredovisning:  Bruttoresultat Rörelseresultat Resultat efter finansiella poster Årets resultat Enligt ÅRL:s uppställningsform krävs det dock endast att årets resultat redovisas i resultaträkningen.

Mind the gap encourages you to beware of the interspaces. The project seeks to defend the gaps that occur in time and space and encourages the reader to care about the interruptions of the routine-like and planned, whilst also opening up a discussion about interaction and participation. Mind the gap is a project about the many opportunities the public space has in the contemporary city. What you have in front of you is the result of this project. As society constantly changes, new and different needs arise in the city and it is necessary that architects and planners understand and adapt to these changes. They have to be able to develop new ways of thinking and to challenge established perceptions of what the public space is and should be. This means being able to see that the public space could be different and to recognize the potentials for it to change. This project examines the underlying ideals of urbanism and investigates the potentials of the City when shaped by these ideals.

SammanfattningAvregleringen av den finansiella marknaden har skapat förutsättningar för alternativa marknadsplatser. Företag kan i dag välja att notera sig på icke traditionella börser som inte är knutna till en fysisk handelsplats. För att skapa förtroende och långsiktighet för dessa virtuella marknadsplatser krävs det att vikt läggs vid relationen till kunderna. En del i detta är att ta hänsyn till de faktorer som potentiella kunder värderar i valet av marknadsplats. I dag väljer företag att notera sig på O-listan före någon av NGMs listor och väljer man NGMs lista är det enbart för att kraven där har varit lägre.
