Styrningens påverkan ? en fallstudie av Handelsbanken och Nordea
Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva hur Handelsbanken och Nordea styr sina organisationer.Fokus ligger på hur styrningen mellan dessa aktörer skiljer sig, samt hur det påverkarmedarbetarna. Då ekonomistyrning och verksamhetsstyrning skiljer sig från varandra ville vise hur medarbetarna påverkas av respektive styrsätt. Handelsbankens styrsätt skapades av JanWallander under tidigt 1970-tal. Han menade att budget kunde vara skadligt motorganisationen och utvecklade istället ett styrsystem som bygger på verkligt utfall och endecentraliserad organisation. Detta ger indikationer på att Handelsbanken använder ett merverksamhetsinriktat styrsätt.
Budget & budgetering ? Vad kan budgeten tänkas tillföra ett företag idag och vilka syften uppfyller den?
Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att söka en förståelse för hur budgetprocessen kan tänkas vara utformad hos några utvalda privata företag idag samt vilka syften som budgeten uppfyller hos dem. Vidare söks en förståelse för vilka för- respektive nackdelar som företagen upplever med budgeten.Metod: I uppsatsen har en kvalitativ undersökningsmetodik använts. Primärdata har samlats in via semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra utvalda företag, Sandvik MT, Boliden, Electrolux och Volvo. Även sekundärdata i form av böcker och vetenskapliga artiklar har legat till grund för undersökningen.Slutsats: Sandvik MT, Boliden och Electrolux tillämpar en årlig traditionell budget vilken de kompletterar med kvartalsvisa prognoser. Volvo å andra sidan tillämpar enbart ett prognosförfarande där prognoser tas fram månadsvis för fyra månader framåt.
Tillgänglighet och förebyggande. Fyra skolkuratorers och en skolsocionoms skildringar av begreppen samt budget för elevhälsan.
Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka hur begreppen tillgänglighet och förebyggande i skollagen 2010:800 andra kapitlet 25 § beskrivs implementeras i grundskolekuratorers och en skolsocionoms arbete samt att granska budget på stats-, kommun- och förvaltningsnivå som berör skollagens fastställande av elevhälsa. Empirin utgjordes av enskilda intervjuer och olika officiella dokument. Intervjurespondenterna var fyra grundskolekuratorer och en skolsocionom. Dokumenten var i form av fem grundskolekuratorers arbetsbeskrivningar, deras procentuella tjänstgöring och elevantal på de skolor de arbetar samt budget på stats-, kommun- och förvaltningsnivå. Frågeställningarna var: Hur beskrivs lagens begrepp tillgänglighet och förebyggande av skolkuratorerna och skolsocionomen? Hur skildras fem grundskolekuratorers arbetsbeskrivning och hur skildras deras tjänster i procent i förhållande till det antal elever de ansvarar för? Hur beskrivs det i budget att stats-, kommun- och förvaltningsnivå har bidragit till implementeringen av lagen i elevhälsan? Vi använde oss av kvalitativ metod med kodning och komparativ analys.
Effektiv ekonomistyrning inom den offentliga sjukvården - en studie av Habiliterings- och rehabiliteringskliniken på Blekingesjukhuset
The purpose with our study is to investigate in which way a public field of
action has succeeded to make the economic management more effective and also
find out which factors/activities that have contributed to get the result of
the budget in balance. We also want to find out in which degree the balanced
scorecard (BSC) has contributed to the positive result of the budget.
Method: We had started out from the qualitative method theory which is based on
the hermeneutic theory, because we will interpret and understand. With this
starting point we have chosen to use a case study with semi-standardised
interviews supplemented with information from different documents, and to get
the theoretic connection we have studied literature in the subject field. The
analyse and even the theoretic connection have then started from, for this
study, a special analyse model.
Results: Througt systematic and target-concentrated management and through
cooperated factors, with stress on a leadership that is both professional,
visionary and un-combined, and there the staff´s is seen as a important
resource, and there it is a clear strategy and objective to keep the cost of
the activity within assigned budgetframe, has a public field of action, as the
clinic of hab./rehab.

PR och trovärdigheten : en studie av PR-byrån Four C och dess kund Akzo Nobel
PR appears to be an indistinct division and a complicated resource for companies to value. The current circumstances are negative to the credibility and reliability of PR. This study emphasizes how an application of return on investment contributes to a more strategic use of PR and increases the status and credibility for the division.We experience that measuring the economic value of PR is of great importance and of current interest with few prior studies made. The purpose of this study is to find out how a PR-agency and one of its clients relates to and works with evaluation of PR-activities and to which extent the economic contribution of the activity is measured.The foundation which the theoretical reference grounds on is theories of Delusions of PR and the use of benefit-cost analyzes, Stages and Levels for Evaluating Public Relations Programs, Marketing Return on Investment and PR Return on Investment. The theoretical reference serves as a base during the analyze of the study.The conclusion, based on the empirical body of information, is that an application of return on investment could contribute with a higher status and credibility for the PR-division.

Validation of rumination measurement equipment and the role of rumination in dairy cow time budgets
Automatic rumination measuring can be applied as a health indicator in dairy farming but is also highly desirable for research purposes. This study aimed to validate the technical functionality of the product RuminActTM, which employ acoustics to monitor rumination duration. The time budget of high yielding cows was studied and possible differences in rumination time between 13 rations were interpreted. Further the study examined what affects daily rumination and rumination efficiency. The validation was performed with direct observations that were compared to the automatically recorded rumination durations.
Barnens budget : En studie av Växjö kommuns projekt i demokratisk skolning
Young people?s political influence has been surveyed, studied and discussed several times in Sweden during the last decade. There is a fear among the politicians that the young people are not interested in politics, especially not in party politics. On the other hand there is, among the youngsters a feeling of invisibility, not being seen or heard or for that sake respected. There are a lot of formal possibilities for young people?s political influence, but there are not as many real possibilities or situations to actually practice these possibilities.
Where has the fertilizer gone? Closing the nutrient budget for a eucalyptus fertilization experiment in southern China
An increasing demand for wood products in China has resulted in large areas invested in fast-growing tree plantations of eucalyptus. Eucalyptus plantations are often associated with an intensive management including fertilization. By understanding the effects of fertilization and where in the ecosystem nutrients are accumulated a more sustainable forest management could be achieved. In this study, a nutrient budget including all biomass and soil components was created for Eucalyptus urophylla. The examined nutrients were nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
En undersökning av projicerat ljus i inomhusmiljö
BackgroundToday a common approach to solve a complicated problem is to assemble a temporary workforce in order to solve the problem by working together within a project. One of the difficulties with working in projects is to maintain the planned budget. Working hours and costs are often exceeded. Many companies presume that any certain project will succeed, a presumption that leads companies not to anticipate risks involved in a project. In companies today there is seldom time for evaluation or moderation of a project, in order to have time for evaluation there is a great need for an adequate planning of the project.IntentThe intention with this study is to create a model for planning, budgeting and evaluation of projects within consultancy companies.MethodWith the help of interviews and discussions within the group Hamnar och Byggkonstruktioner at Sweco has evidence to present a proposal on planning, budgeting and monitoring been developed.ResultsA model has been developed to ease for consultancy companies to plan, budget, monitor and evaluate projects.
