Many enterprises have shortcomings in the transfer of information between different departments. Furthermore, routines for maintaining knowledge in order to be able to use this experience in the future are often lacking. Time and resources spent on improving these systems and procedures can provide significant benefits in terms of saved time and reduced costs in the later stages of a project. The benefit of this is not only a greater clarity and a reduced risk of misunderstandings, but also the preservation of knowledge that would otherwise be lost.The aim of this study has been to examine the process of information transfer and the transfer of knowledge between the calculus department and production manager in projects at Erlandsson Bygg i Öst AB. An additional aim was suggestions for improvements in the calculation handover and at the end of a project, where it was possible.The study was primarily conducted through literature studies and interviews.

Titel: Produktplacering i Solsidan - hur företag resonerar kring sin planerade exponering.Författare: Anna Becker och Johanna Wållgren.Kurs: Examensarbete i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap. Institutionen för journalistik,medier och kommunikation, Göteborgs universitet.Termin: Vårterminen 2014.Handledare: Britt Börjesson.Sidantal: 43 inklusive bilagor.Ord: 14 885.Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur företagen som har produktplacerat i Solsidanupplever och resonerar kring produktplacering.Metod: Kvalitativa samtalsintervjuer.Material: Två samtalsintervjuer med försäljningschefen för Segway respektive Marketing Manager för Volvo Car Corporation.Huvudresultat: Det var svårare att få företag att prata om produktplacering än vi trodde i inledningsfasen av arbetet. Av 45 kontaktade företag var det endast två som var villiga att ställa upp på en intervju. Trots att resultatet av intervjuerna inte går att generalisera på grund av att det är för litet underlag för att få någon mättnad, är det ändå intressant att få en inblick i hur tvåföretag upplever och resonerar kring produktplacering. De två företagen hade olika motiv till att produktplacera - öka varumärkeskännedomen eller förbättra image - men båda var nöjda med resultatet av placeringen.

The store manager can make great benefits of having an eye on how the staff works towards the customer, because the personnel is an important tool when competing with other stores. This paper is focusing on the part that relates to the staff in the store, which is one of the key tools in the competition for customers after the customer made it to the store. Many stores have guidelines which the staff should follow when they meet with customers. If the staff is too tightly controlled by these guidelines, customers can perceive the first encounter with the staff as artificial and as if the genuine friendliness does not exist. It is important that the staff looks at the individual customer and treat every customer in a personal way and that the staff can see the customer?s needs.
