The aim of this study is to examine the investment decision process for investments that arise due to strategic changes and are of strategic importance to the company. At the foundation of this study is the previous research in this area, done by King (1975) and Bower (1970), which examines the investment process on a more generic level.

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att genom en teoretiskt informerad empirisk undersökning skapa förståelse för vad som anses maskulint/feminint bland verkstadsarbetande män samt hur dessa betydelser konstrueras. För att uppnå vårt syfte valde vi att använda en kvalitativ metod. Empirin samlades in genom deltagande observation och samtal med verkstadsarbetande män på en enkönad arbetsplats, för att sedan analyseras utifrån de teman vi fann kring maskulinitet och femininitet. Vi kom fram till att de verkstadsarbetande männen i mångt och mycket konstruerar vad som skulle kunna ses som traditionellt västerländsk maskulin identitet - men att också motsägelser finns. Utöver detta konstrueras även femininitet - trots att inga kvinnor är närvarande..

SAMMANFATTNING Titel: Könsstruktur & lönesamtal Författare: Anna Carlbrant, Erica Jönsson och Lisa Nilsson Handledare: Marie Aurell och Marie Hemming, BTH Institution: Institutionen för Ekonomi och Management Kurs: Kandidatarbete i företagsekonomi, FEC007 Syfte: Syftet med vår uppsats är att förstå om och i så fall hur könsstrukturen förändras eller upprätthålls med tillämpning av lönesamtal som en del av individuell lönesättning. Metod: För att kunna uppnå syftet med vår uppsats valde vi att göra en kvalitativ undersökning där vi intervjuade kvinnorna i den organisation vi besökte. Slutsats: Vi har kommit fram till att lönesamtalet kan ses som både möjlighet och hinder för kvinnorna beroende på yttre faktorer och individens beteende. Den faktor vi ser som avgörande för att förändring av könsstrukturen ska kunna ske är graden av medvetenhet om könens betydelse i organisationen hos både ledning och anställda..

Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva hur användningen av feedback effektiviserar organisationer. Metod: I denna uppsats har en kvalitativ ansats använts för att studera upplevelsen av feedback på individnivå. Respondenterna, från två medelstora företag i södra Sverige, har dels intervjuats genom en riktad öppen intervjukaraktär samt fått svara på en enkätundersökning för att kategoriseras efter lärstilarna. Slutsatser: Vårt resultat visar att individers olika upplevelser av feedback kan spåras till individens lärstil. Varje lärstil har sina egna utmärkande faktorer som organisationer bör ta hänsyn till vid förmedling av feedback till de anställda. Vi har kommit fram till att organisationers effektivitet kan höjas vid medveten användning av feedback och genom att ta hänsyn till individens lärstil..
