Att arbeta i projekt är en allt vanligare arbetsform som tillskrivs vara mer effektiv än den traditionella. Trots detta har projektorganisationer svårt att dra lärdomar av tidigare misstag, därför riskeras de att återupprepas i andra projekt. Det finns påtagliga brister i inhämtningen av kunskap från tidigare projekt, men också i lagrandet av dessa erfarenheter. Utvärdering är ett verktyg som syftar till att reflektera och samla in erfarenheter och kunskaper som genererats i ett projekt. Det är också en förutsättning för att de ska kunna vidareförmedlas.

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the expectations of roles between supplier sales representatives and retailer store personnel in relation to in-store campaigns, this in order to enhance effectiveness of these functions creating an increase in consumer response. Methodology: The researchers believe that social phenomenon and their meanings are continually being accomplished by social actors, hence a study of individuals? expectations must have a point of departure in these people?s social reality. Store personnel and supplier sales representatives are to a certain degree affected by the structural power relationships within the organizational network, thus the researchers combine an interpretative and radical structuralist paradigm. Theoretical perspective: The researchers investigate expectations of roles through examining interaction between parties involved.

The main purpose of this study is to examine differences and similarities concerning teamwork and interactive skills among preschool children while they interact with an Ipad respective a number of selected traditional artifacts. The traditional artifacts chosen for this study are small Lego blocks, JovoToys (click and construct system) and large puzzles. The study takes its starting point on the basis of both a social- and a learning perspective when different groups of preschool children in the ages from three to five years interact in fellowship groups with respective artifact. Primarily the main focus is to examine differences and similarities that appear from without the social perspective.The overall objective is to identify what eventual differences and similarities can be found purposely on both what is happening in the social interaction between the preschool children themselves but also what is taking place in the interaction between the children and each artifact. This study will also via theoretical frameworks create an understanding why eventual differences and similarities exist.The results are based on both a literature review and a field study.

All new households were to be constructed with "near zero energy house standards" (NZE-house) by the year of 2020. The ambition to construct energy-efficient buildings had to increase rapidly in the spring of 2013.The purpose of this report was to increase the interest for building contractors to construct apartment buildings with passive house standards. By locating and evaluating experiences from an existing passive house a case study including interviews, field visits and document analysis was made. Research of literature regarding other passive houses in Sweden also helped to answer the following questions:- What positive and negative experiences have the study of the passive house meant to the involved stakeholders and residents?- What improvements can be made based on identified experiences?- How can an apartment building be designed as a passive house based on possible improvements?By collecting good and bad experiences, as well as improvements and potential design proposals, a diagram was created designed as a tool for developers when constructing apartment buildings with passive house standards.

Den här uppsatsen bygger på en fallstudie av ett callcenter i en pågående organisationsförändring och ett medvetet arbete med Employer Branding. Syftet var att undersöka vilka internkommunikativa strategier som bolaget använt sig av i inledningsfasen av organisationsförändringen samt det medvetna arbetet med Employer Branding. För att få svar på syftet bygger undersökningen på tre frågeställningar samt vilar mot ett ramverk som tar upp teorier och tidigare forskning i ovan nämnda ämnen. För att få svar på frågeställningarna har en omfattande e-postenkät genomförts hos organisationens ledningsgrupp samt en enkätundersökning bland övriga organisationsmedlemmar. Resultatet visar att ledningsgruppen har lyckats väl med att skapa en förståelse för organisationsförändringens syfte, vision och målbild hos dem som varit delaktiga i uppstartsfasen men att en hög personalomsättning kräver att informationen upprepas för att skapa en förståelse hos alla.

Hur samverkar de nationella folkhälsomålen med fysisk planering, och på vilket sätt kan folkhälsomålen beaktas för att förbättra förutsättningarna för ökad fysisk aktivitet hos barn? Denna studie är en fallstudie i Hjo kommun. Studien tar utgångspunkt i kommunens folkhälsoproblematik som visar att det finns en hög förekomst av övervikt hos barn. Intentionen är att undersöka vilka organisatoriska processer som kan underbygga det kommunala arbetet med folkhälsomålen, liksom att ta reda på vilka faktorer i den fysiska miljön som skapar förutsättningar för barns fysiska aktivitet. Avsikten med studien har varit att skapa ett underlag för Hjo kommuns översiktliga planering.

Följande studie har utgått ifrån ett sociologiskt socialpsykologiskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen har haft för avsikt att studera bruksandans betydelse i en industriorganisation och i relation till det omgivande samhället utifrån det teoretiska perspektivet symbolisk interaktionism och där hermeneutik och den hermeneutiska forskningsprocessen används som metod för tolkning av insamlade data. Dess syfte har varit att undersöka och synliggöra bruksandans betydelse för kommunikation, för sociala identiteter och för kulturen i organisationen. Den har avsett att svara på frågor om på vilket sätt individerna i organisationen kommunicerar; hur de sociala identiteterna skapas och reproduceras; och på vilket sätt bruksandan främjar eller hindrar en utveckling av den gemensamma organisationskulturen i anpassningen till en global marknad.Jag har kommit att se bruksandan som ett fenomen och ett uttryck för en institution som präglas av de normer och värderingar som etablerats över generationer och som på olika sätt ännu lever kvar i de brukssamhällen som finns runt om i Sverige. Bruket har i många samhällen fungerat som den huvudsakliga arbetsgivaren och har av många ansetts som en trygghet, i form av närhet, men också som möjlighet till sysselsättning och som inkomstkälla.Bruksandan visar på skarpa gränsdragningar mellan individer och grupper inom organisationen.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to test four different hypotheses from the aspect of the title of this paper. H 1 Consumers trust the pharmacy employees? advice and suggestions for their purchase decisions more than the brand awareness they have received through the companies marketing communication H 2 Consumers are enough affected of a company?s marketing communication to choose their brand even if the pharmacy employees recommend other brands.

As a result Fi is completely dependent on economic contributions.
