Byggbranschen är en av de mest könssegregerade branscherna på den svenska arbetsmarknaden, vilket innebär att män och kvinnor återfinns inom olika yrkesgrupper och därmed har olika möjligheter och villkor. Prognoser beräknar demografiska förändringar de närmsta femtio åren och ett krympande arbetskraftutbud av individer i arbetsför ålder. Därmed blir det allt viktigare för arbetsgivare att utforma hållbara HR-strategier och en strategi som kan hjälpa dem i den hårda konkurrensen kring en krympande arbetskraft är Employer Branding. Begreppet myntades 1996 av Tim Ambler och Simon Barrow och grundtanken är att marknadsföra företaget som den bästa arbetsplatsen att arbeta på, både mot anställda och arbetssökande.Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera hur tre företag inom byggindustrin använder sig av Employer Branding, samt hur strategin används för att anställa kvinnor. Genom min studie vill jag också synliggöra den horisontella könssegregering som finns i byggindustrin.

Purpose/Aim: The purpose of this paper is to describe how a number of strategically selected employees at the Swedish Institute, with the purpose to promote Sweden in the world, look at the challenges facing Sweden concerning nation branding in the new era of cooperation within the European Union. I examine how these people look upon the work of public diplomacy and nation branding in order to actively participate and influence the EU's common communications platform.Material/Method: The method used in this thesis is qualitative interviews. The reason why I chose this method is because I consider it to be the most appropriate in order to collect information about how these selected employees at the Swedish institute regard the challenges that lay ahead in terms of nation branding within the European Union.Main results: On the basis of the results I have gained by dint of the analysis, it can be concluded that it is of utmost importance to take the societal changes, which are a result both of the worldwide globalization and the EU cooperation, into consideration when designing a future communication strategy for the Swedish Institute. The nation-state continues to play an important role in Sweden, but its importance is declining as the EU cooperation is progressing. The citizens? identity plays a crucial role in designing a nation?s communications strategy, and from the analysis I conclude that we move not from a Swedish to a European identity, but towards a pluralistic union where multiple identities meet under one umbrella; the EU..

Uppsatsen har som syfte att studera om, och i så fall hur, employer branding- tekniker tar sig i uttryck vid tre valda av författarna tidspunkter. Employer branding används av en organisation för att framstå som en attraktiv arbetsgivare. Vi har studerat platsannonsers bild och text, och åren som berörs är 1996, 2005 och 2014. Platsannonserna är hämtade från Dagens Nyheters platsannonsuppslag och summeras totalt till 60 platsannonser, fördelat jämnt på dem tre årtalen. Vi har valt att kategorisera materialets employer brandings komponenter i fyra delrubriker -materiella och immateriella erbjudanden, organisationskultur och organisationsimage.

The European Union is originally an economic organization that has developed into including more social and cultural questions. These questions are especially important when the Union expands with so many different cultures and traditions to take into concideration.I have from an identity perspective studied the relation between the European Union and the candidate country of Turkey. Using theories including the Other I have discussed the relationship between us (Europe) and the Other (Turkey) and Turkey's possibilites to become a member of the Union. My conclusion will include a discussion on the basis of three dimensions; History, Economy/Politics and Religion. I believe there are hindrances for Turkey to become a member of the European Union.

In May 2004 the European Union enlarged from 15 to 25 member states and it was the biggest enlargement since the foundation. Two years earlier Poland, as one of the new member states, finished four years of accession negotiations with the EU.This study focus on the case of Poland and how the accession negotiations with EU were conducted. According to the theoretical framework of asymmetric negotiations Poland was said to be a weak party and the EU was considered a strong party in the enlargement negotiations.The aim of the thesis is to examine Poland's negotiation performance and determine what Polish failure and success in the accession negotiations depends on. The research contains a illustration of the motives for enlargement, the negotiation process and structure, attitudes and behaviour and finally results of negotiations in specific areas.The study concludes that Poland's negotiation performance was influenced by the Polish negotiation team's unpleasant attitude, confused organizational structure, lack of coalition partners and the strong will to become a member state, in both positive and negative ways. Finally, Poland was most successful in negotiations that concerned specific issues which were of great importance for Poland but less prioritized by the EU..

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept that is growing increasingly important, with more and more companies acknowledging that they have an obligation to the environment in which they operate. We were interested in inquiring into why companies chose to do so, even though there are no laws that condition them to engage in CSR. One answer to this might be that companies use CSR as a way to distinguish themselves from the competition as well as to gain trust and goodwill from the stakeholders. When it comes to Corporate Social Responsibility, the question is no longer whether or not companies should engage in it, but how they can gain competitive advantage by doing so. This study aims at providing a framework for possible ways of integrating CSR and branding, as well as different strategies for CSR-communication. We also tried to define how, and why, consumers respond to CSR-initiatives.

It is increasingly important for cities to attract visitors, potential new residents and businesses. Jönköping is one of the cities working with place marketing, a strategy that intends to mediate a positive image of the city, in order to accomplish just that.People often have a need to preserve the memory of a trip into something tangible. Anyone visiting Jönköping encounters a souvenir choice, much like the one in many other cities. Linked to the idea of positive place marketing, our work aims to investigate how we as product developers can create a product that en¬hances the image of Jönköping based on the thought that all residents are con¬sig¬nors. Accordingly, we develop three different products from the residents' own image of the city.Our research questions are:Based on the photographs, what image of Jönköping do the ambassadors mediate of their own city?As designers, what in Jönköping's history versus the image of Jönköping today, can we seize in order to give products for visitors a sense of authenticity?As designers, how can we use knowledge of place branding in the development of souvenirs?We performed interviews within three different aspects: history, souvenirs and place branding, all focused on the city of Jönköping.

Co-branding är samarbetet mellan två företag som utmynnar i en ny, unik produkt, där kopplingen mellan varumärkena samt gemensam marknadsföring från samarbetsföretagen leder till positiva synergieffekter. Intresset för marknadsföringsstrategin co-branding har ökat i takt med globaliseringen då företagens varumärke riskerar att försvinna i mängden av konkurrerande varumärken och på så sätt förlora viktiga marknadsandelar och varumärkeskännedom.Denna studie ämnar dels öka kunskapen om fenomenet co-branding samt för vilka skäl denna strategi kan vara lämplig att använda och dels hjälpa företag att utröna vilka som kan vara de kritiska framgångsfaktorerna, alltså de absolut viktigaste variablerna för att deras co-brand ska lyckas på marknaden. Vi har intervjuat tre fallföretag inom den svenska modebranschen för att undersöka vilka deras skäl till cobranding är och vilka de kritiska framgångsfaktorerna för dessa samarbeten är. Dessa företag har samtliga genomfört co-branding under de senaste tre åren. Resultatet av studien visar att skälen till co-branding kan vara att skapa en trovärdig varumärkesbreddning, försvara sig mot konkurrenter samt skapa en förhöjd uppfattad kvalitet för konsumenten något som möjliggör prispremium.

2005 was the year that all of the 25 member states in the European Union were to ratify the treaty of a constitution for Europe. The year did, however, offer a series of unexpected and slightly shocking events as both France and the Netherlands voted no to the constitution. Because of this the already planned referendums across many of the other member states were either postponed indefinately or the debates simply died down. The fact that two of the most pro-EU countries didn?t ratify the constitution was not only something that certainly raised the question of how future referendums in other, more EU-negative, states would turn out, but it could also be seen as harsh criticism against the EU as a whole.This is a theory consuming study, as it uses different theories of integration to explain the development of the EU, which in turn supports and strengthens the essay's conclusion.

Syftet med den här studien är att göra en nulägesanalys på Attendo Care för att undersöka hur de i dagsläget arbetar med att presentera sig som en attraktiv arbetsgivare. Vidare ska studien undersöka hur Attendo Care kan arbeta i framtiden för att attrahera och behålla kompetenta medarbetare.Teori/Tidigare forskning Om ett företag kan säkerställa att dess värderingar även delas av de anställda förbättras de senares hälsa och företagets lönsamhet (Edwards 2010:5). En organisations attraktivitet som arbetsgivare benämns employer branding (Backhaus & Tikoo 2004:501). Enligt Barrow och Mosley (2005:4) handlar employer branding om de fördelar en anställd får tack vare sin anställning. Dessa fördelar kan vara funktionella, ekonomiska och psykologiska.Metod I studien användes kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer som tillvägagångssätt för insamling av material.

This essay has been made on behalf of the co-operative society Mäster Grön, which is selling ornamental plants to retailers in Sweden. The aim of this study has been to find out what added value Mäster Grön gets from their co-branding with the Swedish Seal of quality. The main topic of discussion was; how much value added does this co-branding give to Mäster Gröns pot plants? Are there differences from a customer point of view in value added between a garden center and a retail store? How much weight does the costumer put on the branding when buying a plant? Does the customer know what the values of Mäster Grön and Swedish Seal of quality mean? Two questions of lesser worth were asked to the consumers about what they thought about the protective plastic around the plant, and if they were interested in getting more information about the origin as well as the method of production of the plant. The study was divided into two parts, one in which customers were observed and one where the customers answered a survey.
