Introduction: There was a reduction in Sweden of the Share capital in 2010, in which the Share capital was reduced from 100 000 SEK to 50 000 SEK. The reason behind the reduction of the Share capital was to enable more people to start limited liability companies in Sweden. Meanwhile in Europe, they questioned the function of the Share capital, and as a result of this discussion a number of European countries have abolished the requirement for the Share capital in limited liability companies.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what meaning the Share capital has to entrepreneurs based on their own businesses, and to see what function the Share capital have for the creditors.Problem: What are the meaning of the Share capital for today´s entrepreneurs and its creditors?Methodology: The study is based on a qualitative research method in which a cross-sectional study was done with four small limited liability companies and four creditors.Conclusions: The Share capital functions and meaning has lost its intended meaning as creditor protection and the help to facilitate the raising of capital. The Share capitals intention has to some extent been eroded.

This thesis studies the stock price reaction around 68 announcements of special dividends and Share redemptions on the Swedish stock market between the years of 2003 and 2007. We show that for the Swedish private investor, the tax effect of a Share redemption is lower than that of a special dividend. Moreover, a Share redemption could be interpreted as a signal of undervaluation. These two factors lead us to assume that the stock market would react more positively in connection to the announcement of a Share redemption. We test this hypothesis through an analysis of the risk-adjusted abnormal return for the observations in the sample.

Many studies have shown that unethical acting can affect the Share price of the company negatively. However, this is not always the case. The aim of this thesis is therefore to examine what it is that can cause the Share price to be affected negatively by unethical acting exposed in media. This qualitative study is primarily based on interviews with institutional investors, but also with economic journalists and investor relations managers. Our conclusion is that there are three main reasons why the Share price can be affected by unethical acting, namely economic consequences, the management's behaviour and psychological factors.

The Shareholder is supposed to be indifferent if one Share costs 100 SEK, or 10 Shares cost 10 SEK each. In an efficient market, Shares should be valued directly to new expectations as a result of the announcement of the reverse split. We investigate whether abnormal returns incur surrounding reverse split and if owner structure change.One reason for the reverse Share split is that most companies have plans to imple-ment other company?s specific events in order to survive rather than to change the price range to a more attractive level. We found a negative return in the ex-day at 8,1 per cent.

The purpose of this master?s thesis is to study resource allocation among district libraries within Stockholm?s City Library (SSB) on three different occasions ? 1996, 2001 and 2005 ? and to examine whether there exist any inconsistency between the state of the allocation of resources and what might be considered reasonable. During the course of the study, it became apparent that some measurements are more relevant than others when determining whether the allocation of resources is reasonably fair. The most relevant ratio is the Share of net cost per capita in relation to population and the population?s composition of children, youngsters and persons with foreign background as a result of relevant political governing documents giving priority to these three groups.

Background: What is a Share and what determines the value of a company? This is a constant issue that many in the financial world are facing. Many argue that there has been some decoupling between stock valuation and how the company in question is developing operationally after the financial crisis that the world faced during 2008-2009.Problem: It is important to distinguish between the company and the Share. A company that is good and well maintained may not be worth buying only because of it. The Share is judged by other elements also.

Companies that sell digital products such as software and movies transfer large amounts of data to its customers. In order to send this amount of data using FTP or HTTP and still maintain a high speed transfer rate it is required that the company have a large number of servers and a huge bandwidth. Servers and bandwidth costs money which means they have great costs on the distribution of their products. In order to reduce distribution costs, P2P technology can be used and the most powerful technology to transmit popular files is called BitTorrent.BitTorrent requires users to Share their bandwidth. Nowadays, BitTorrent is frequently used to transfer products that are free of charge; one example is the Linux distribution Ubuntu.

This thesis aims to investigate the voting premium for companies differentiating voting rights between Share classes on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The voting premium represents the value of a vote attached to the Share. The voting premium can be estimated from the price premium between two listed Share classes with differentiated voting rights. Rydqvist's dissertation (1987) serves as a model for this study which investigates whether the theory of the so called "oceanic games", along with a proxy variable for cost of control, can predict the voting premium during 2010-2012. To the original model developed by Rydqvist, control variables for differences in liquidity between Share classes are added to investigate for an increase in the explanatory power.
