Omfattande ekonomistyrning tillämpas i första hand utav stora företag och dessutom ärformella styrverktyg konstruerade för tillämpning i stora företag. Ett företagsekonomistyrning är betydelsefull då flera företag möter hård konkurrens och finanskriser.Därmed är det intressant att studera små och medelstora företags ekonomistyrning, eftersomekonomistyrningen likväl kan vara till fördel för små och medelstora företag. Uppsatsenssyfte är att beskriva ekonomistyrningen hos små respektive medelstora företag samt attanalysera skillnader mellan små och medelstora företags tillämpning utav formellastyrverktyg. Uppsatsen följer en kvalitativ forskningsmetod då avsikten är att skapa endjupare förståelse för formella styrverktyg i små och medelstora företag. Uppsatsen ärgenomförd med ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt i avsikt för att se helheten iforskningsproblemet.

Dagens företag verkar på en föränderlig marknad med allt hårdare konkurrens som företagen måste kunna anpassa sig till. Detta har medfört att dagens traditionella styrsystem har ifrågasatts. Enligt kritikerna är det inte anpassat för den snabbt föränderliga omgivning som är ett faktum i dagens företagsekonomiska miljö. Budgeten är det vanligast förekommande styrsystemet i svenska företag och har under lång tid haft ett starkt fäste. Fler och fler företag överger numer budgeten till förmån för budgetlös styrning.

Cambodia, in Southeast Asia, has tropical monsoonal climate with distinct dry and rain seasons. Many people are poor and live in rural areas. Farmers mainly culture rice, and raise pigs, cattle and poultry as well. During two months, a minor field study was performed in Cambodia. The main purpose was to evaluate the impact of contributions done by projects that started in 2005 and were managed by the local organization CelAgrid.

The gaming market has become the fastest growing market for leisure and is one of the most popular forms of homeentertainment. This has generated a media debate about how people are affected by gaming and concernes how we are affected by the violence that may occur in games. Games proponents argues that gaming is the future of teaching and computer games are becoming a sustainable and popular instruction strategy. Some studies have long used computer games for educational purposes. By interviewing high school students in focus groups as qualitative research, I studied their attitudes towards computer games as a learning tool.

This type of method is more considerate of the interviewed person?s way of seeingthings and also accounts for how the person answers. To answer our problem statement we haveconducted a case study on University of Uppsala where we used semi structured interviewsbecause we wanted to limit the risk of leading questions.Empirical findings: University of Uppsala were used as material for our empirical discussionContext: The main reasons that workers is attracted to and are staying at the university dependson the external status they achieve when working there, this combined with that the workers getsto be a part of the university's brand.

Uppbyggandet av ett varumärke är en process som ständigt pågår i ett företag. Litteraturen visar på olika strategier för att bygga varumärken, men nästan uteslutande bygger forskningen på stora företag. Stora företag planerar varje år en budget för vad de skall satsa på olika marknadsföringsaktiviteter, detta är något som mindre företag oftast inte gör då de inte har samma resurser i form av pengar som stora företag. Mindre företag utgör 96,2% av alla företag i Sverige och bygger därför upp en stor del av den svenska ekonomin. Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur mindre företag går tillväga för att bygga upp ett starkt varumärke.

Student recruitment is a subject that seems to be forgotten in the theory of event communication. Yet the area has some specific reoccurring features. Our purpose was to examine these specific features and how to work with these in the best way, and also see how to get the most out of the event communication to the young at event and fairs. Special features we have looked at are the student ambassadors ands their impact, the meaning of a give-away and also if there are any essential factors to get in contact with the young at fairs and events, and if new technology had an important role to play in the area.Our research has been inductive, and therefore, we have created our own theory and reflected it to the larger topic of event communication and its theories. Our research method has been triangular, both quantitative and qualitative; interviews with those who work with student recruitment, and surveys to young people in upper secondary school.Our study showed the importance of student ambassadors and their specific task to be nice, friendly and outgoing.

The first of the dual purposes of this work has been to describe the research that has been done regarding the root causes of terrorism and second, using a general causal theory and examining the political dimensions of it, to discuss whether or not general causal theories (grand-theories) are helpful for researchers and policy-makers when reacting to social developments in the form of terrorism. The essay is a qualitative literature analysis and I have based my studies on mostly new books treating root causes of terrorism. I have concentrated on discussing international terrorism and how political dimensions may impact the occurence of this form of political violence. The conclusions I have made is that there is no widespread consensus among researchers and scholars as to what really causes terrorism. Neither can the general model examined in chapter 5 be used to predict when and where terrorism will occur next.

This thesis was written by order of Rud Pedersen Public Affairs Company, a PR- consultancy firm located in Gothenburg. The assignment was to investigate social media in Pr- activities. The thesis is formed by three main categories:? What is social media?? Who are using social media?? How can you use social media in public relations?The information which is being presented in this thesis is based on academic reports, interviews and research on social media blogs and lectures. It is a qualitative approach since the purpose is to get a deeper understanding for the subject in question.

Under 1957 lades grunden för den gemensamma jordbrukspolitik CAP som idag drivs inom EU. Lantbrukssektorn står idag för en betydande del av EU?s totala budget om 133,8 miljarder euro. Lantbruket inom Europa erhåller årligen stora summor i form av direktstöd. Länder utanför EU motsätter sig dessa stöd och anser att det skadar marknader utanför EU?s gränser och då främst i Afrika.

Den pedagogiska verksamheten påverkas av ljudmiljön som antingen kan främja eller motverka kommunikationsmöjligheter. Då tidigare forskning genomfört objektiva mätningar efterlyses mer subjektiva studier, vilket denna studie syftar till. Syftet i denna studie är att undersöka hur de medverkande förskollärarna uppfattar att ljudmiljön påverkar den pedagogiska verksamheten. Studien ämnar även undersöka vad förskollärare uppfattar sig göra för att främja en god ljudmiljö. För att besvara syftet har följande frågeställningar använts:Hur uppfattar förskollärarna att ljudmiljön påverkar verksamheten?Vad uppfattar förskollärarna vara en god ljudmiljö?Hur uppfattar förskollärarna sig arbeta för att främja en god ljudmiljö?Den teoretiska utgångspunkten för studien är von Glasersfelds (1995; 2000) radikal konstruktivism och kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts.

The fact that animals have feelings is something that is commonly agreed. Many authors showhow animals' views of their environment is quite similar with human views. Animals, whichare slaughtered without prior stunning, find the moment of slaughter unpleasant and stressing.This is shown in numerous of scientific studies. The cognitive ability of animals can becompared to how they experience feelings and scientists have shown how the structures in thebrain that involves feelings and cognitive behaviours in animals are very much the same asthe structures in human brains. Because of this, some scientists consider that behaviour inanimals can be directly interpreted into human feelings.Halal- and kosher slaughter comes from traditions.

Background: The standard of living should be the same for everyone, whether the apartment is placed in an old or new building. The residential properties that were built from 1965 until 1974 is now beginning to become old and in need of restoration. The financial crisis during the nineties contributed to the lack of maintenance on the buildings in Sweden. As the public buildings gets older more and more defects occurs. The coordination and maintenance will therefore have a more significant role in the housing company ?s work.The increasing interest about how old a building can be, attract much attention.

During the last decades the importance of IT has increased for businesses all over the world. It has transferred from only being used in administrative purposes to become more integrated to the core business. Due to the financial crisis in 2009 and increasing globalization, IT is facing the challenge of lower costs and increased efficiency. This requires IT-departments to embrace new strategies in order to fulfill these new tougher demands.Lean is a business development concept that aims to lower costs through more effective processes by removing all activities that does not create any value from the end customer?s perspective.
