The purpose of this master thesis is to present a model that illuminates the important factors when deriving technical information from market data within a company.

Whilst good product quality leads to customer satisfaction and loyalty, lack of quality brings costs in service and replacements. To improve product quality, the developers need information and knowledge about what quality issues affect existing products. Most companies gather data from market about known issues, but in order eliminate known quality issues in new products; this data has to be transformed into information and knowledge.

Fantasy literature has a rather strong position in countries with an English-speaking population but not in Sweden. The supply of fantasy in Sweden is much smaller than that in for example United Kingdom. Does this affect the Swedish readers of this genre? If it does, how does it affect them? The aim of this thesis is to find out how a few fantasy-reading students at the Swedish School of Library and Information Science get hold of the fiction they want to read and who and/or what influence their decision of which book to read. In order to avoid confusion we are also going to try to find out how they define fantasy since it varies from person to person what is included in the genre.

Our purpose was to shed light on how parents act in respect of providing alcohol to young people when they ask for a taste of home, or wish to bring alcohol to such a party. We used qualitative interviews and the results show that some of the respondents think that it may be acceptable to provide alcohol, while some do not. The results also show that the respondents think that parents are important as a model for the young. They could not purchase alcohol for the purpose of giving it to the young but only if alcohol is available at home. The reason for this behavior is the parents' assessment that the young person demonstrates a level of maturity for his age that they are presumed to be able to handle a small amount of alcohol.

Det finns en strävan efter att effektivisera byggindustrin genom att förändra traditionella produktionsprocesser och industrialisera byggandet. Samtidigt har regeringen infört åtgärder för att främja en ökad användning av trä i byggandet och då framför allt när det gäller uppförandet av flervåningshus samt offentliga lokaler. Byggsystemet trävolymbyggnad är en del i denna utveckling. Systemet innebär att färdiga vägg- och bjälklagselement sätts samman till hela volymer på fabrik innan de transporteras till byggplatsen för att monteras ihop till färdiga byggnader. Trävolymbyggaren ansvarar för allt från projektering till färdig produkt, vilket har lett till en viss osäkerhet kring systemet bland beställare i branschen.

By exposing their products in blogs, companies have the opportunity to reach out to hundreds of thousands of consumers daily. Instead of using conventional Internet advertising such as banners and ads, some companies chose to make use of product placement in blogs. By choosing to expose their products in blogs, companies use a medium that blog readers are familiar with and can relate to, and can thereby solicit customers for their products and brands.We will examine whether product placements in fashion blogs are an effective way for businesses to market themselves and their products.
