Risk management is a key competency that is constantly being researched how it can be improved within project management. The risk management process consists of four major steps: identify risks, assess the risks? significance on the project, evaluate and address the key risks and follow up.The majority of companies seem to neglect certain identified risks, and decide not to mitigate if the risk does not cause adverse effects to the business. To counteract undesirable consequences and help organisations to become more effective at managing risks an initial work has been conducted for a risk repository.The project develops a proposal on the design of a risk repository which aim to effectively support a database implementation. The study includes literature studies which resulted in a relational model for database implementation.

En orsak till att skolors arbetsorganisationer byggs upp av grupper, ofta i form av arbetslag, kan vara att det finns en förväntan att detta skall leda till skolutveckling. Med detta som grund har arbetet i sin första del strävat efter att utveckla ett analysinstrument i form av en metod för att tränga in i den övergripande frågeställningen om arbetsgruppers arbete i skolor kan sägas leda till skolutveckling. Arbetet att utveckla ett analysinstrument har gjorts utifrån ett organisations- och institutionsperspektiv på skolan. I arbetets andra del ges exempel på hur det utvecklade analysinstrumentet tillämpats. Denna tillämpning, dvs.

Att uppnå en hög lönsamhet och produktivitet är viktiga prioriteringar inom organisationer. Mycket pekar på att ett effektivt arbetsmiljöarbete ökar dem båda. Det finns indikationer på att arbetsmiljöarbete inte utnyttjas för att ge lönsamhet. Till synes verkar inte den kunskapen vara allmänt känd. I arbetsmiljöarbete finns pedagogiska processer, då främst i den psykosociala arbetsmiljön.

Ångest och depression spås om fem år tillhöra några av världens största folksjukdomar (World Health Organization, 2001). Stigmatisering av psykiska besvär hos individer innebär att många med psykisk ohälsa exkluderas från arbetsmarknaden (Socialdepartementet, 2012). Att individer med psykisk ohälsa arbetar innebär dock vinster på individ-, organisations-, och samhällsnivå (CEPI, 2012). Syftet med studien är därmed att undersöka hur arbetsmiljön för anställda med ångest- och depressionssyndrom har anpassats utifrån den anställdes förutsättningar. Studiens fokus är att belysa vilka faktorer som påverkade att anpassningarna genomfördes.

AbstractTitle: Gender equality ? of course! A qualitative study on gender equal recruitment at a universityAuthor: Ingrid ÖhlundSeveral studies show that the division of gender in Swedish universities is uneven. Since universities are important organizations where our future citizens get their education and become socialized, I found it interesting to investigate how a Swedish university handles the gender equality issue in the process of recruitment. The aim of this study was to contribute with a higher level of knowledge and understanding about the recruitment process out of a gender equality perspective. The aim was also to identify which stages of the recruitment process that was vulnerable out of a gender equality perspective.

How the running and controlling goes, vary on different municipalities, depending how the organization is constructed and what is being prioritised. There exist laws and directives which the businesses have to follow, but beyond this the organisations are quite free to prioritise and to decide what the best is for the community as a whole unit. The municipality has access to different tools which purpose is to help them running the organization as good as possible, so they can create a well-operated business. This is very important, regarding that the tax money should be spent in an effective way, and be able to do so it is required good and well-functioned system of control.A big change has happened when the instrument BSC (Balanced Scorecard) was introduced in certain municipality. In this essay the focus lies on two municipalities, Vellinge and Kristianstad.

During 2008 we experienced an expansion of large scale investments in foreign farmland. This increasing trend has become a political hot-spot, but there is not much research available within the field. Due to a lack of research it remains a vital task to outline the potential effects of this trend. Drawing on existing ideas from some of the main actors within the field, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), The World Bank, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the latest G8 summit on agriculture, four main purposes are set out for this paper. First, to outline some of the underlying mechanisms behind the trend is considered crucial for the understanding of the nature of these investments.

SammanfattningStudiens syfte är att förstå och förklara hur 11§ MBL, dvs. hur den primära förhandlingsskyldigheten fungerar på en svensk högskola.Studiens teori bygger på fem element som är grundlägganda byggstenar för att betraktas som en formell organisation, vilka är; regler, medlemmar, övervakning, sanktioner och hierarki. Följande element har applicerats på en organisations medbestämmandeförhandlingar, i syfte att skapar en fördjupad förståelse av fenomenet medbestämmande -förhandlingens tillämningsområde.Den metod som jag använt mig av är den fenomenologiska ansatsen, för att skapa en vardagsförståelse av de handlingar och sociala processer som informanterna präglas av. Detta görs genom att försöka förstå och beskriva informanternas upplevelse av medbestämmandeförhandlingar i den aktuella organisationen.Det insamlade empiriska materialet baseras på semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer med personalchef och biträdande personalchef på den undersökta organisationen, för att få deras syn på lagrummets tillämpning. Jag har även genomfört två deltagande observationer, då jag deltagit under organisationens medbestämmandeförhandlingar.

Urban planning in Sweden has played an important role for the welfare state we have created. It has served as a way to achieve improvements. But too often decisions, about the changes, were made by those who were not directly affected by them. Democratically speaking, it is important that the group most affected by a decision also comes to make the decision. This thesis examines the motives for working with citizen participation and user participation in planning contexts.

Lean är en idé för kundanpassning och eliminering av slöseri. Idén har sin utgångspunkt i Toyota och tillverkningsindustrin men förekommer numera även inom serviceindustrin. Nyligen har Stockholmsregionen i svenska Skatteverket fått upp ögonen för Lean. Som referenspunkt använder de vid införandet av idén en organisation med, jämfört med Skatteverket, en annorlunda verksamhet nämligen det lastbilstillverkande företaget Scania. Med utgångspunkt i översättningsteorin framarbetad av bland andra Czarniawska har vi genomfört en studie på Skatteverket Stockholmsregion.

The aim of this Master's thesis is to examine how blogs are used by public libraries for marketing purposes, and how librarians who blog perceive their blog as a marketing tool. The thesis is based on a qualitative study conducted using asynchronous e-mail interviews with librarians representing eleven different library blogs. The theoretical framework and concepts are taken from marketing theory, including Kotler's marketing mix, relationship marketing, and theories on the marketing of non-profit organisations, knowledge organizations, the Internet, and blogs. Our results and analysis reveal that libraries use blogs because they are an easy tool to use, they represent a new way to inform users about the library, they are a way to improve contact with the users and a way to reach potential users. According to the librarians we interviewed, blogs can be used to market libraries in a number of different ways: by disseminating information on the library and its various media and events, by providing a forum to demonstrate the skills of the librarians, and as a way of changing the image of the library.

The health care sector is one of the most information-intensive institutions in Sweden. Big investments in information technology have been made to ensure efficiency and quality within organisations in health care. This has led to high requirements in documentation and resulted in an increase in administration which gradually more often is done by nurses and doctors. A major problem is that it is difficult to gain access to the information recorded in all the different systems, which is their objective. This causes double documentation instead of being a support in follow-up performance.

 The current estimations in regards to the increase in environmental threats underline the importance of influencing individual behavior towards a more sustainable lifestyle. At the same time current trends show an increasing interest into ecologically produced foods around the world and that the consumption has seen a major rise in the 20th century. It is therefore of great importance that companies show their interest and commitment in order to offer and influence the consumer into choosing the environmentally sustainable alternative. Also, in order to properly reach out to the consumers, it is of outmost importance to map out their attitude towards these types of products. It is equally important, in order to fully realize the potential of successful positioning, to show an understanding for the underlying decision processes that dictates purchase.
