The purpose of this paper is to increase knowledge and understanding of how an identity is constructed on the internet and if it is different from the everyday identity. To analyze this, I have studied the theories of how identity is constructed in everyday life and then applied this on the empirical data that I have collected. In this study, I have chosen to pursue a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews to gather the empirical data. In the study, six informants participated and all of them has an active social life both on and off the internet.

This qualitative study treats the construction and maintenance of balance between work and private life and how flexibility in the workplace is perceived. The study was conducted using semi-structured interviews and these have been conducted in five large companies around Gothenburg.

Budgetens roll i företaget har länge varit ett omdiskuterat ämne och mycket kritik har riktats mot den. Utgångspunkten i vår fallstudie var Handelsbankens arbetssätt som vi har börjat med att studerat närmare. Utifrån detta har vi sedan granskat de tre storbankerna Swedbank, Nordea och SEB. Syftet med vår undersökning var således att ta reda på vilka ekonomiska verktyg bankerna använder sig av för att styra verksamheten och mäta resultat.I vår fallstudie använde vi oss av en kvalitativ metod i form av djupintervjuer. För att få bakgrundsinformation har vi tagit del av tidigare forskning som visat att budgeten haft en stor roll i företagen, men samtidigt har det funnits nackdelar med den vilket har lett till att budgeten fått mycket kritk genom åren.
