Kryssningsindustrin är en dyna-misk bransch som är under ständig förändring och utveckling. Branschens stora problematik är avsaknaden av en färdigproducerad produkt på kryssnings-destinationerna. Alla människor, platser, företag och organisationer som kryssnings-resenären kommer i kontakt med på destinationen är med och påverkar resenärens helhetsintryck. Detta innebär att samverkan mellan olika aktörer är nödvändigt för att skapa en attraktiv och konkurrenskraftig kryssningsdestination. Samverkan genom kluster handlar om att tillsammans nå gemensamt uppsatta mål och visioner, samt att ta tillvara på de olika resurser, människor och relationer som interagerar på en kryssningsdestination.

Att lära av historien är ett ämne som belyses allt oftare i organisationsteorier. Frågan är bara hur man kan använda sig av historien i ett framtidsperspektiv.

To create a more accessible environment for disabled people, the Swedish government, in the year of 2001, made the national act of easily eliminated obstacles valid. This national act states that all easily eliminated obstacles in the municipalities, in places and in premises that are public, shall be removed before the end of 2010, no matter if the owner of the place or premise is private or public. According to Boverket, most of the municipalities are not going to be able to reach that goal, why? The aim of this thesis is to compare the two municipalities Kalmar and Karlskrona in their way of implementing this national act, to see where it went wrong and why. By using implementation theories and qualitative empirical data in the form of interwievs with the total of eight people from different administrations in both of the municipalities, the subject was analyzed and discussed.

I samband med att projektet Tryggare Kalmar startade, har debatten angående betalningsmedel blivit aktuell. Tryggare Kalmar är ett projekt som drivs av banker, handlare och polisen där de tillsammans vill minska kontanthanteringen i samhället för att ge en tryggare arbetsmiljö för anställda. Dock är inte alla övertygade om att en minskad kontanthantering är den optimala lösningen, då båda betalningsmetoderna har sina för - och nackdelar. I denna studie strävar vi efter att undersöka vad som påverkar butikers val av betalningsmetoder samt hur deras förväntningar på framtiden ser ut. Genom en kvalitativ studie har vi genomfört 14 intervjuer riktade till butiker inom detaljhandel samt till drivande nyckelaktörer som kan tänkas påverka valet av betalningsmetoder i butiker.

Abstract Contemporary cities find themselves today in a fierce competition against other cities over company establishment and in -migration. In this competition, the city?s main objective is to become an attractive site of capital accumulation.  As this happens, the pressure on the vulnerable groups in society increases, leading to a social geographic polarization. I have examined how the shift towards neoliberalism has affected a city on the fringe as Kalmar. How is the postindustrial urban space constructed? I found this important to analyze since it put two important questions in the light: For whom, and for which purpose do we build the city today? My questions have been:v  What are Kalmar municipality?s strategies to develop Kalmar?v  What are the results of this strategy in the urban space?v  What are the consequences of this strategy?The research has been a case study of the city of Kalmar with a qualitative deductive approach where David Harvey?s theories about the city in a capitalist system have been the underpinning structure.
