Företag arbetar idag alltmer i projektform på en global marknad. Detta innebär ökade krav på koordinering och kommunikation i utförandet av en uppgift i verksamheten. Samtidigt så finns det idag väl utvecklad teknik för att stödja de uppgifter som utförs. Teorierna inom CSCW diskuterar kring hur sådana tekniska verktyg, groupware, kan stödja arbete som utförs i grupper, exempelvis arbete i projektform.I denna undersökning försöker vi skapa en teoretisk modell som kan användas för att identifiera de krav som ställs på dels organisationens utformning och dels på det tekniska stödet. Genom två studier utförda på två företag vid två tillfällen undersöker vi om det finns ett samband mellan förändring i organisationen och förändring i det tekniska stödet.

För att åstadkomma en hållbar utveckling lyfts utbildning, av internationella policydokument för en hållbar utveckling, fram som mänsklighetens bästa hopp och mest effektiva medel[1]. Därför intresserar denna studie sig för hur svensk skola tar ansvar för att den potential som utbildning bär på skall utnyttjas. Studieobjektet i denna studie är läroböcker för den inledande fysikkursen på svenska gymnasieskolan, fysik A eller fysik 1. Vidare har undersökningen, med stöd i forskning om undervisning för hållbar utveckling, avgränsats ytterligare genom att endast rikta sig mot de uppgifter som finns i böckerna. Metoden som använts är en kvantitativ innehållsanalys där frågor om någon, och i så fall vilka, aspekter av hållbar utveckling och vilka kunskapsemfaser som betonas har ställts till böckernas samtliga uppgifter.

This thesis examines trust on the web. W3C is a consortium of organisations focusing on development of standards for web publishing, and one of their projects within the semantic web track is web-based annotations. The purpose of the investigation at hand is to evaluate to what extent different factors are being considered when webbased information is judged, and whether web-based annotations could serve as a confidence-inspiring tool. The main research question was therefore: How do the informants experience Annozilla as a possible confidence-inspiring tool? The empirical material consists of a case study with eight informants.

Background: Inter-organisational ways of working have become more and more common during the last decades. In order to attain efficiency and productivity, such inter-organisational relationships need to be governed and controlled. However, studies have shown that inadequate control is one of the main reasons for why inter-organisational relationships fail. One of the means that can be used for governing and controlling a business is management control. The use of management control in inter-organisational contexts is a quite unexplored area of research at the present time, which might seem somewhat surprising considering the fact that inadequate control is a common explanation for why inter-organisational relationships fail.

Monetära belöningar är en vanlig förekommande metod i kunskapsintensiva företag för attöka motivation och därmed prestation hos en organisations medarbetare samtidigt sommonetära belöningars influens på motivation är ett omtvistat ämne där vitt skilda resultat haruppvisats. Ett förbisett område inom motivationsforskning är huruvida monetära belöningarinfluerar strategiskt lärande. Dock använder kunskapsintensiva företag monetära belöningarsamtidigt som anställdas strategiska lärande är av stor vikt för fortsatt överlevnad. Dennauppsats ämnar därmed belysa detta med intentionen att utveckla forskningsbidrag till såvälteori som praktik. Resultatet av vår kvalitativa undersökning tyder på att motivation tillstrategiskt lärande influeras av autonom motivation och att monetära belöningar indirektinfluerar till motivation genom att vara en symbol för att uppnå något för individen önskvärt.Subjektiva och otydliga mål kan vara fördelaktiga för att åstadkomma autonom motivationhos företagets individer då dessa uppmuntrar till nyfikenhet och egna individuella tolkningar..

The cellular market is today suffering from great customer dissatisfaction. Simultaneously, the services offered by the different cellular providers are very homogenous, causing strict competition where various price strategies have been the main mean of battle. From a business perspective, implementing pricing strategies, to keep up with increased network investments, is a short term solution.In a market characterized by lacking customer satisfaction and harsh competition, research has shown the importance of highlighting customer relations in marketing. This type of marketing, which one could refer to as relationship marketing, is considered an efficient, economic, and strategic method of showing the importance of customer loyalty. To get insight in the relationship between the customers and the cellular providers, as well as to show the importance of relationship marketing, this study has used qualitative interviews to find what develops strong customer loyalty.The results showed that increased customer loyalty is achieved when an emotional bond is created.

A qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews was carried out, involving nine respondents, who are active in the public and nonprofit sector. The interview guide used is designed and divided into different themes based on the survey questions.
