The theses discuss information seeking with a focus on Google and social networks. Students attending the librarian program in Lund have been examined by means of two methods; diaries and information horizons, where they had to solve a specific assignment. The information horizon as a method contributes to getting a structural perspective on the information search process instead of viewing information search as a procedure. Information horizons use social network analysis.The aim of the theses is to investigate the importance of the social network in information search, with a particular focus on Google as a search tool. Our hypothesis is that Google acts as a compensator to the social network when the students search for information and in the educational program.The research indicates that there is no direct correlation between usage of the social network and usage of Google.

Bakgrund/problem: Innovativa entreprenöriella företag skapar både tillväxt och arbetstillfällen i de samhällen de verkar i. Det är därför viktigt för vår välfärd att den typen av företag bildas och lyckas etablera sig. Att starta ett innovativt entreprenöriellt bolag är dock riskfyllt eftersom många nystartade företag går i konkurs. Forskare har på senare år visat att en bra affärsmodell är väldigt viktigt för nystartade företag och modeller har tagits fram för hur en affärsmodell ska utvecklas för att göra ett nystartat företag framgångsrikt. Innovativa entreprenöriella företag möter dock utmaningar som andra företag slipper och de affärsmodeller som tagits fram för vanliga entreprenöriella företag kan därför antas vara otillräckliga för de som ska starta ett innovativt entreprenöriellt företag.

Syftet med uppsatsen är dels teoretisk i form av att reda ut begreppet social redovisning samt hur social redovisning och hållbarhetsredovisning förhåller sig till varandra, och dels empirisk då jag ämnar undersöka huruvida denna redovisningsform bättre kan visa en verksamhets effektivitet bättre än traditionell redovisning där verksamheten har sociala verksamhetsmål. Studieobjektet i denna undersökning är KulturAkademin, vilken är ett gemenskapsföretag vars primära verksamhetsmål är att driva musikskolan i Storuman.För att uppnå detta syfte genomfördes fyra intervjuer med personer som har erfarenhet av social redovisning eller företag med sociala verksamhetsmål eller en kombination av de båda.Undersökningen visar att det finns två olika uppfattningar om vad begreppet social redovisning innebär. En mening är att begreppet kan likställas med begreppet hållbarhetsredovisning som är en redovisning i tre dimensioner ? ekonomisk, social och miljömässig dimension och en mening är att det är en redovisningsform som visar de sociala effekterna av en verksamhet dvs en av de tre dimensionerna i hållbarhetsredovisning.Vad gäller det empiriska syftet är undersökningens resultat tydligt. En social redovisning skulle visa KulturAkademins effektivitet bättre än en traditionell redovisning då den traditionella endast visar ett verksamhets resultat ur en ekonomisk aspekt.

Projektet 12:15 grundar sig i projektbeställarens Henrik Rudbergs önskan att kunna fortsätta hjälpa människor. Henrik Rudberg vill nu ta steget in i elförsörjningsbranchen.

Författarens ansåg sedan, efter vägning mot kravspecifikationen i denna C-uppsats, att lösningsförslag 3 bäst stämde överens med författarens kravspecifikation samt projektbeställarens önskan om produkten.

In order to broaden the understanding of work motivation the aim of the study was to compare how three different teams within the same organization constructed motivation. The three teams consisted of post sorters, team leaders and mailmen. Three focus group interviews were conducted with three men and eight women. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed with QSR NUD*IST. The result showed both similarities and differences in the construction of work motivation in the three teams.
