Titel:                                      Leverera mera ? En fallstudie på Volvo Trucks Författare:                                             Erik Bylund & Johan Kristensson Handledare:                                            Ulf Aagerup Nivå:                                      Kandidatuppsats, Internationell Marknadsföring (15hp), VT 2014. Nyckelord:                                              Sponsring, Leveraging och Ambush Marketing Problemformuleringar:       - Hur använder Volvo Trucks Leveraging i samband med deras sponsorskap?- Hur motverkar Volvo Trucks Ambush Marketing i samband med deras sponsorskap?                                           Syfte:                                      Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och beskriva hur ett aktivt sponsrande multinationellt företag på B2B-marknaden använder sig av Leveraging i samband med deras sponsorskap för att öka nyttan av deras investering. Vi vill även undersöka undersöka och beskriva hur de motverkar Ambush Marketing i samband med deras sponsorskap för att skydda deras investering.                      Teoretisk referensram:         Kapitlet inleds med grundläggande teorier kring sponsorskap för att sedan gå vidare till beskrivning av termerna Leveraging och Ambush Marketing. Metod:                                   Fallstudien har genomförts med en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod och en induktiv ansatts. Personliga intervjuer med högt uppsatt och kompetent personal inom Volvo Trucks legat till grund för insamlingen av våra data. Empiri:                                   Empirin presenterar de kvalitativa intervjuer som gjorts med respondenter inom Volvo Trucks. Analys:                                   Analysen jämför den insamlade empirin gentemot den teoretiska referensramen. Slutsats:                                 Volvo Trucks använder sig av en omfattande Leveragingstrategi där de genom sin 360-approach försöker vara närvarande på samtliga plan och kanaler. Det finns ett klart fokus på aktiverande Leveraging med avsikt att bygga och stärka kundrelationer.

ICA is the largest general dealer in the Swedish market as well as the largest supplier to the independent ICA-dealers. The principal and one of the biggest stakeholders of this thesis is the department Supply Chain Development who is responsible for the development of ICA?s Supply Chain.The purpose of this study is to examine how ICA?s sales are affected by weather and to make recommendations on how ICA should proceed with its work regarding this issue. By Leveraging their forecasts by including weather, ICA hopes that their logistical metrics amount of spoilage, service levels and number of inventory days will improve. This thesis describes how ICA is working with weather currently, and furthermore it discusses the existing literature within this area.

This study explores Sweden's climate change denial by analyzing the spoken-word discourse of its countermovement, focusing on digital media content from Swedish parliament member Elsa Widding with an aim to provide empirical insights into the discourse of Sweden's Climate Change Countermovement (CCCM). Questions guiding this study are: What are the most prevalent topics and themes related to climate change denial and skepticism? How do they align with established categories of climate change denial, shaping the overall narrative? What mobilizing ideas and meanings are present, how are they shaped, and how do they contribute to the movement's goals? The material consists of Elsa Widding's complete audio-based "movement texts'' from 2019-2023, including YouTube content, podcasts, and appearances on Riks, totaling over 2000 minutes of audio transcribed into text via AI technology. Methodologically, this study adopts a mixed-method approach which blends computational pattern detection, topic modeling, clustering, and spatial relationship mapping techniques, along with qualitative content and framing analysis. Theoretically, the study employs a perspective which uses epistemic and response skepticism to examine climate change denial, viewing it through the lens of countermovements and social movement framing. The study's main contribution lies in the enablement of comprehensive analysis of a large audio-based dataset, achieved by Leveraging recent AI advancements for reliable audio-to-text conversion combined with topic modeling.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how the ongoing controversy surrounding the Internet, the phenomena of digitalization and file sharing will affect the music industry in the form of the ?big five? labels. Furthermore the thesis aims to present a recipe of strategies for the companies? survival by studying their situation through a theoretical perspective in conjunction with a comparative analysis with industries facing the digitalization challenge. The theoretical contribution lies in the strategic perspective at an industry level.
