Denna studie syftar till att försöka förstå och förklara vilka komponenter IKEAs organisationskultur består av och hur denna kultur i sin tur reproduceras. Vi definierar reproduktion av kultur som en strävan att bevara en organisations grundläggande värderingar och idéer. Till vår hjälp har vi använt Edgar H. Scheins teori om kulturnivåer och John Van Maanens sju strategier för socialisation. Våra data har samlats in genom intervjuer, observationer , tryckta texter och IKEAs svenska hemsida.

Background: The Swedish retail trading company KappAhl has reorganized all the boutiques in Sweden. Before the reorganization many of the boutiques consisted of four levels: shop manager, assistant shop manager, department managers and regular personel. After the reorganization assistant shop managers and department managers have been replaced by a so called ?responsibility group? consisting of some of the employees. The change is presented as a decentralisation.

There are many different ways to control an organisation. In cultural organisations, it has become more common to have several directors working simultaneously. Often, different individuals possess different cultural and economic experience, thus a variety of backgrounds provides a more thorough scope of expertise and knowledge. This type of management is prevalent in the cultural sector.This thesis will research how leaders in cultural institutes work in a dual leadership, ?co-leadership?, when their backgrounds are different.

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a further development of the Six Sigma draft to carry through preventing quality measures in developing and designing of new products and processes. With increasing demands on enterprises development processes to be more safety and faster the need of DFSS arise as a product, process and service development concept in the organisations. Design for Six Sigma aims to improve and structure the development process of an organisation and consider the application of the innovation problem solving. The concept aims to leave the structure of the traditional Six Sigma concept and instead, from an innovative perspective, search for new solutions to existing problems. The concept constitute of a toolbox with a lot of quality tools that are divided into phases in a development model.

A growing number of companies realise that to achieve their environmental goals and satisfy stakeholder expectations, they need to look beyond their own facilities and to involve their suppliers in environmental initiatives. A life cycle approach means that the production system should be optimised as whole, across national boarders and individual organisations taking part all the way from extraction to disposal. This study is a Life Cycle Inventory of resources used when producing a piece of cotton garment and the method is based on the standardisation series of ISO 14040-43. The area of study, Tamil Nadu the most southern state of India, accounts for more than 90% of India?s knitwear exports to Western Europe.

Syftet med studien var att skapa ett underlag för hur en organisations hälsofrämjande arbete kan utvecklas samt vilka eventuella möjligheter som finns till en framtida integrering med andra områden inom organisationen. Datainsamlingen genomfördes med kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer och omfattade sex strategiskt utvalda informanter, fyra män och två kvinnor, på ledande positioner inom Peab. Resultatet visade att den hälsofrämjande verksamheten som bedrivs inom konceptet Peab Fritid upplevdes positiv, men det förekom vissa önskemål om utveckling, bland annat vad gäller aktivitetsutbud kopplat till mer vardagliga områden. Vidare framkom att uppfattningen kring en framtida integrering med övriga verksamhetsområden skilde sig åt mellan informanterna. De menade att det faktum att de hälsofrämjande insatserna är förlagda till fritiden, och inte till arbetstid, kunde försvåra ett möjliggörande av en integrering.

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka en organisations förutsättningar till att använda intranätet för kunskapsspridning. Även vilken roll som intranätet har för användarna kommer att studeras. Vidare vill jag synliggöra ett problem som många gånger uppkommer med intranät, att organisationers förväntningar på intranät inte lyckas realiseras. Tidigare forskning har visat att intranät kan användas som ett verktyg för Knowledge Management. Knowledge Management handlar om att använda lärande som ett sätt att utveckla organisationens materiella och immateriella tillgångar.

This paper examines the consequences of membership and participation in immigrant associations on individual immigrants? political integration and indirect political participation with reference to Swedish society. The theoretical underpinnings consist of a social structural outlook on social capital, combined with the Civic Voluntarism Model, both of which focus on the potential role of social networks for moving people into political action. After a presentation of parallel qualitative data over the experiences of individual members in a Finnish and Bosnian-Hercegovinian organisation, it is suggested that immigrant associations support the political integration of their members into the host society. Firstly, the case studies indicate that members of immigrant associations gain the opportunity to augment their civic skills, which is a significant prerequisite for political participation.

According to the national legislation concerning discrimination within labour law, it is prohibited to discriminate on the grounds of sex, ethnic belonging, religion or other religious belief, functional disability, sexual nature and part-time work or time-limited employment. The EC-law goes further and also prohibits discrimination on the ground of age. According to an EC-directive the member states must incorporate a national provision against age discrimination by the 2nd of December 2006 and the Swedish legislator is now in the progress to implement this into Swedish law.Even though national legislation does not contain any provision on the area, the EC-law directive has a certain influence at national law. Measures that are in breach of the purpose of the directive can for example not be taken. When the time for implementation has expired, the directive has direct effect and can be referred to within the member states.

As IT service departments in organisations are becoming more complex and customised, the indirect costs are increasing in relation to the total costs. The difficulty of fully estimating and identifying the spread of the cost in the IT service department is increasing. As a result, firms tend to budget the business unit as a total cost rather than as a spread of defined costs. In order to deal with this challenge an ABC calculation will be applied. The Time Driven ABC model will be conducted in OMX´s Servicedesk unit within the IT services.

The aim of this study is to from a gender perspective to examine whether spa is a place for both genders or it is focused on female spa visitors only.
