Uppsatsen avser att undersöka huruvida den nya rådgivningslagen kommer att uppfylla sitt syfte, det vill säga huruvida konsument-skyddet kommer att stärkas på den finansiella marknaden. Uppsatsen avser även att undersöka om denna eventuella förstärkning avkonsumentskyddet kommer att leda till en ökad effektivitet på den finansiella marknaden. Analysen visar på att lagen uppfyller sitt syfte genom att rådgivarens ansvar för brister i rådgivningen blir större i och med den nya lagen. Lagen ger rådgivaren incitament att verkapå ett sätt som gynnar konsumenten och i förlängningen också effektiviteten på den finansiella marknaden med en starkare samhällsekonomi som följd..

När det offentliga väljer att upphandla välfärden och köpa in tjänsteutförandet från fristående vårdbolag följer ett behov av nya verktyg för att driva välfärden i önskad riktning. Den här uppsatsen söker beskriva hur kommunala tjänstemän bemöter konsekvenserna av trenden att omvandla de byråkratiska välfärdssystemen till marknader för välfärdstjänster och utvecklar nya verktyg för styrning. Utgångspunkten för undersökningen är de förfrågningsunderlag tjänstemännen formulerar och som utgör grunden för upphandlingsprocessen. Fördjupad kunskap om hur upphandlingsprocessen utformas i praktiken samlas genom intervjuer med ansvariga tjänstemän vid Uppsala Kommun samt marknadschefen vid ett av kommunens utförarbolag.Undersökningen visar att tjänstemännen lägger stor vikt vid formuleringen av obligatoriska krav som utförarna måste leva upp till för att maximera de boendes välmående. Dessa krav utformas för att stärka tydlighet, uppföljningsbarhet och standardisering.

Based on this analysis an empirical study identifies what kind of knowledge the state wants the citizens to possess and public information campaigns can be problematic.

Det finns drivkrafter för införande av virtuella möten i organisationer både i form av miljöaspekter och ekonomiska incitament. En omfattande förändring av mötesformer sker dock inte av sig själv. 2006 initierade Vägverket ett projekt kallat Resfri för att bygga upp en informationstjänst som kan hjälpa organisationer att ändra sina mötesvanor. För Vägverkets räkning har författarna utfört intervjuer med sju svenska organisationer och presenterat ett förslag på hur implementeringen av virtuella möten kan utvärderas. Framgångsfaktorer har identifierats och kopplats till utvärderingsverktyget SUMO.
