Den här uppsatsen tar en närmare blick på karismatiskt ledarskap vilket ofta sägs vara en personlig egenskap som vissa föds med. Det sägs att personer som Gandhi, Barack Obama och Olof Palme har haft denna egenskap. En egenskap som får folk att följa ledaren oavsett uppoffringen för följaren, och som gör vad än ledaren vill att de skall göra. Arbetet vill problematisera synen på karisma som en personlig egenskap. Med hjälp av karismaforskningens fader, Max Weber, tillsammans med annan forskning om ledarskap och karisma formar denna uppsats en modell för att förstå karismatiskt ledarskap.

2009 kom det en regeringsrättsdom som innebar en praxisförändring vid handläggning av personlig assistans. Domen innebär en mer restriktiv hållning till matsituationen som grundläggande behov vid beslut om rätten till personlig assistans. Praxisförändringen medförde att fler personer än tidigare förlorade sin rätt till assistansersättning enligt lagen om assistansersättning (SFS 1993:389) (LASS) och blev istället hänvisade till den kommunala hjälpapparaten. Syftet med enkätundersökningen var att kartlägga hur svenska kommuner och stadsdelsförvaltningar hanterar praxisförändringen. Denna uppsats baseras på en kvantitativ enkätundersökning. Undersökningen genomfördes med ett webbaserat enkätprogram.

Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka hur grundskolelärare väljer sina undervisningsformer och vilka aspekter som spelar in. I litteraturdelen tar vi bland annat upp bakomliggande faktorer till varför grundskolelärare väljer den undervisningsform som de gör. Vi tar även upp vad eget arbete, traditionell klassundervisning och individualisering innebär. Den empiriska delen består av intervjuer med lärare som undervisar i språk. Lärarna har olika lång yrkeserfarenhet vilket inte var av avgörande betydelse för studiens resultat.

A great number of empirical researches show that hedging is associated with higher firm value, particularly hedging interest rate and exchange rate. However, there is no clear support for value-added risk management hypothesis in the case of producers of commodities. Moreover, according to Shrand and Unal (1997), there are two types of risks, core business risks (or core risk) and homogeneous risks (or non core risks), which are based on a firm's comparative advantages with respects to the source of risk. Firm can earn economic profits for bearing core risks in which it has a comparative information advantage. Firm earn a zero economic rents for bearing non-core risks, where it has no advantage information than its competitors.

Efter avregleringen av den svenska kreditmarknaden och bankkrisen ökade antalet banker i Sverige avsevärt med en ökad konkurrens som följd. Den hårdare konkurrensen resulterade i minskade marginaler på traditionella bankprodukter som lönekonto och lån. Flertalet banker har som ett resultat av de minskade marginalerna flyttat fokus från de traditionella produkterna till försäljning av nya och mer lönsamma produkter samt tjänster. Detta nya försäljningsfokus har mött stort motstånd i facktidningen Finansvärlden på grund av den stressfaktor som det medfört. Syftet med denna uppsats är att fastställa banktjänstemäns attityder till personlig försäljning, samt se samband mellan attityderna och bakgrundsfaktorerna kön, ålder, antal studieår utöver gymnasial utbildning, antal år i nuvarande bank och antal år i bankbranschen.

 This paper evaluates the effect of exchange rate risk on the sum of bilateral trade. To distinguish the effect between different types of countries, two groups are defined: advanced and developing economies. Economic theory on exchange rate risk and trade proposes ambiguous effects of increased volatility. However, the ex ante hypothesis is that developing economies are more sensitive to volatility. Contrarily to the hypothesis, the empirical results suggest that advanced economies would benefit up to twice as much from a removal of exchange rate risk.

During recent years, financial innovation has given rise to numerous structured investment opportunities aimed towards the general public. These have enabled private investors to engage in high-risk investments offering as much as 400 per cent leverage while oftentimes not fully having grasped the risk involved. The issuers of these securities have been criticized for using advertising of a too aggressive and misleading nature.By presenting 819 potential investors with two different investment opportunities yielding the same return over a six day period, we have aimed to assess whether the inclination of being affected by judegmental heuristics varies with factors such as knowledge, overall attitude towards the asset class, risk appetite and experience from previous investments.We have observed that investors' perception of the attractiveness of an investment can be distorted by altering the information presented to the investor. However, our findings show that this tendency decreases with an increased level of knowledge, experience and risk appetite..
