Uppsatsen unders?ker hur den aktiebolagsr?ttsliga separationsprincipen p?verkar konflikter mellan aktiebolagslagen och aktie?garavtal, s?rskilt i privata bolag d?r alla aktie?gare ?r bundna av samma avtal. Separationsprincipen inneb?r att avtal mellan aktie?gare inte kan f? bolagsr?ttslig verkan utan st?d i lagen, vilket s?kerst?ller bolagsorganens autonomi. Men i praktiken anv?nds aktie?garavtal f?r att reglera relationer mellan ?gare och hantera fr?gor som aktiebolagslagen inte t?cker.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how organisations can keep their crisis preparedness alert although crises do not occur often. A crisis organisation will lay dormant within a larger organisation for long periods of time. This may cause a problem when a crisis does occur if the preparedness has not been kept alive.From previous researchers that we have studied within this field we have identified two distinct methods to do this. The first focuses on the importance of detailed crisis plans, while the other method suggests that it is more essential to develop specific competencies with the employees. We also find that keeping knowledge within an organisation is a matter of organisational learning and memory which we therefore discuss and analyse.We have performed an interview study at E.ON in Örebro, and we have also had the opportunity to read E.ON?s crisis plan.

This essay ventilates the relatively new phenomenon employer branding. Due to societal changes, such as demographical and financial changes, the labour market in Sweden has changed. It is evident that an increasing number of organisations need to put more of an effort in their methods of attracting talent and retaining competence within the organisation. By a case study based on five interviews, the purpose of the study was to compare literature and practice to see how well they compare as well as how employer branding bring about different aspects of the effect. There was also an ambition to highlight aspects of employer branding considered important to have in mind when undertaking an employer branding exercise.

Digitala v?rdtj?nster har blivit alltmer popul?ra i Sverige under de senaste ?ren, men det r?der delade meningar bland forskare och v?rdanst?llda om huruvida dessa har en positiv p?verkan p? v?rdsamh?llet eller inte. Denna uppsats syftar till att unders?ka hur kostnaden f?r utoml?nsers?ttning i samband med anv?ndningen av privata digitala v?rdtj?nster har p?verkat v?ntetiderna inom prim?rv?rden. Detta g?rs genom en regressionsanalys, d?r ytterligare variabler s? som bra sj?lvskattad h?lsa, median?lder, ekonomisk standard och eftergymnasial utbildningen kontrolleras f?r.

The main purpose of this master thesis is to identify the issues concerning the transformation process of a product oriented company into a service oriented company, and how these issues can be overcome. We will exemplify this by developing a dewatering pump rental concept for ABS, and identify the drivers and barriers for ABS when implementing the service oriented rental concept in Sweden and Poland. This master thesis is based on the systems perspective. The reason for this is the required holistic perspective, where the system has to be regarded from different points of departure in order to be understood. The theoretical studies include services and change management.

The purpose of this essay is to examine the United Nation?s work and structure to find possible factors that can explain why some peacekeeping operations have achieved to mainstream a gender perspective, when others have not. This study is based on two cases; the peacekeeping operation in Namibia and the peacekeeping operation in Kosovo.The theory I have chosen to apply is feminism, a theory that allows an alternative explanation to this phenomenon. The conclusion is that there are three decisive factors: The leadership and its will to recruit female personnel to decision-making positions, the number of female employees and whether the peacekeeping operation cooperates with local women-organisations or not. All this is of great importance whether the institutional hegemonic masculine culture within the United Nation and its peacekeeping operations, is challenged or not..

The purpose of this study is to extend the understanding of how professionals in modern organisations want to be managed. We especially investigate professionals changing industries to describe if, and how, aprofessional in this situation is becoming a professional again after the change. This to find connections between intrinsic motivation and attitudes towards professionalism on one side, and applicable managerial methodson the other. Best practice in managing professionals is traditionally considered to be non-invasive methodologies such as indoctrination and training. Beyond that, operational-level management is usually considered to be bound to fail.The analysis suggests the following:? A professional changing industry will become professional again.? The driving force for becoming professional again is the strive for horisontal specialization, induced by higher education.? Management of professionals needs to account for the integrity of the horizontal specialization of the professional.

The purpose of this thesis is to gain a better understanding of how elderly people seek and use information in everyday situations. A further aim is to suggest ways for the library to offer more services specifically tailored for pensioners. This is an important topic as pensioners are a rapidly growing group of library users. We conducted qualitative interviews with four elderly people concerning their information needs in everyday life, and discovered that they rarely use the library, preferring instead to get their information from various internet sites and their pensioners? organisation.

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera hur kommunala energibolag resonerar vid val av avskrivningsmetod samt hur kommunala energibolag har förberett sig inför införandet och hur de förhåller sig till implementeringen av komponentavskrivningar.Teorier: De teorier som använts i uppsatsen finner vi vara relevanta och applicerbara utifrån studiens syfte och frågeställningar. Vi har bl.a. använt oss av Burns & Scapens ramverk som ingår i den institutionella teorin, vilket är den teori som studien utgått ifrån.Metod: Studien utgår ifrån den kvalitativa ansatsen med hjälp av semi-strukturerade intervjuer och dokumentgranskning.Empiri: Empirin innefattar intervjuer med 5 kommunala energibolag inkluderande granskning av relevant dokumentation.Slutsatser: Studien har visat att de kommunala energibolagen upplever avskrivningsval som en svårbedömd process som präglas av en inre tröghet på grund av påverkande faktorer och inrotade regler och rutiner. I och med tolkningen och införandet av BFNs regelverk avseende komponentavskrivningar har ett internt motstånd byggts upp på grund av svåra och godtyckliga bedömningar. Detta har bidragit till en spretighet, vilket har påkallat behovet av tydligare rekommendationer och direktiv.

Voluntary organisations provided the first consumer guidance in Sweden. The government'sinterest in the question started during the second world war and has ever since increased.Since the 1970's the local authorities, with support from the community, have played animportant roll in consumer policy work. Due to the economic recession of recent years theappropriation to consumer guidance work has been cut down. The work has been rationalisedand libraries have more frequently been used to spread consumer information.In Stockholm the municipal has been responsible for local consumer information since the1940's. Co-operation with the library of Stockholm has occurred in different forms.

Bostadsfra?gor utgo?r en stor del i samha?llsplanering, och boendesegregation har under de senaste a?ren uppma?rksammats. Syftet med denna masteruppsats a?r att analysera befolkningssammansa?ttningen i nyproducerade bostadsomra?den med sa?rskilt fokus pa? blandade uppla?telseformer som metod fo?r att uppna? social blandning.

Efter riksdagsvalet 2022 ingick Moderaterna, Kristdemokraterna, Liberalerna och Sverigedemokraterna ett politiskt samarbetsavtal, det s? kallade Tid?avtalet. Avtalet representerar en politisk kurs?ndring i svensk v?lf?rdspolitik, d?r fr?gor om kriminalitet, migration och effektivisering av v?lf?rden ges en central plats. Syftet med denna studie ?r att analysera hur socialt arbete och v?lf?rd representeras i Tid?avtalet och vilka implikationer dessa representationer har f?r socionomers professionella roll och social arbetares yrkesetik.

Syfte: Studien ämnar undersöka om och i så fall hur en organisations strategiska arbete av varumärket påverkas, vid avreglering från monopol till ökad konkurrens. Metod: Studien är av kvalitativ karaktär och där både primär- och sekundärdata samlats in med hjälp av intervjuer samt textanalyser av årsredovisningar. Slutsats: Det strategiska arbetet för ett varumärke genomgår olika förändringar vid avreglering men mycket från den forna tiden lever kvar som en stark och stadig grund. En åtgärd som visade sig vara viktigt var att ha ett ständigt arbete kring företagets varumärke för att tydligare visa vad det står för, särskilt efter att konkurrenter har tillkommit och bidrar med att forma vad den berörda marknaden är..
