Due to the well-developed rhetoric and the relative easiness to estimate costs, cost considerations are usually more in-depth than revenue considerations when discussing strategies impact on profitability. To avoid dysfunctional companies and poorly judged strategy decisions it is necessary to develop the rhetoric of revenue considerations.By collecting data from 230 respondents in a quantitative study of two grocery stores in Mora, the study aimed to assess the relationship between choice of generic strategy and self-reported buying behavior, considering differing decision-making processes of customers.The results of the study indicate that a differentiation strategy performs better than a low-cost strategy in terms of buyer frequency, number of goods and cost of purchase. However, due to a poor data collection method, the results are weak, and should therefore be questioned. The study indicates that reliability considerations for behavioral measures should be treated in the same respect as psychological measures, and therefore illuminates the need for new methods and measures to be developed..

Standarder finns överallt omkring oss i samhället i form av t.ex. storleken på kreditkort, specifikationerna för GSM-nätet och gängningen på skruvar och muttrar. Då flera olika tekniska lösningar konkurreras ut till förmån för en dominerande teknik reduceras kostnader för produkter och tjänster eftersom likriktning leder till ett effektivare utnyttjande av resurser. På grund av den stora samordningsvinsten är standarder av yttersta vikt för ett väl fungerande samhälle. Dagens standardiseringslitteratur behandlar standarder som skapats genom consensus i officiella standardiseringsorgan eller av stora företag där marknadskrafterna bestämt den vinnande tekniken.

The .NET Framework is a widely used system component for MicrosoftWindows. This thesis describes how the functionality of the framework canbe adapted to Microsoft Excel. Specific operations, such as integration ofuser interfaces, database connections and the ability to divide programs intosmaller components, are discussed. A number of architectural - and designpatterns to facilitate development are analysed.Several techniques have been made up in consultation with experiencedprogrammers. These techniques were further developed by implementinga number of test programs.The results of the study are a number of standard classes for future usageand a larger pilot project containing most of the analysed functionality..

Med dagens spelmotorer kan man hålla rätt hög grafisk standard utan några problem. Man kan få hög realism och ljus sättning som är stort sett fotografiskt. Men hur är det om man ska efterlikna en klassisk målning? En klassisk målning brukar inte 100 % följa fysiken lagar när det gäller ljus, färg, form osv. Hur svårt blir det att få till en autentisk tavla med mönster från duken och penseldrag? Den här uppsatsen tar det upp hur man bästa möjliga sätt återskapar klassisk konst i 3D.

The way man divides his thoughts and sorts them into different boxes, is a cognitive activity which works alike for every person. We split peoplesexterior attributes and characteristic qualities into stereotypes or prejudicemind patterns and treat them along those.This study examines through a qualitative method what twelve respondents (six women and six men) between the ages 16-21, think about ?intense? conceptions, which may show stereotype or prejudice ways of thinking. There spondents have been chosen regardless ethnic or economic background andare all enrolled in an upper secondary school located centrally in a Swedish big city.The purpose is to find out if there are any differences between how some young men and some young women spontaneously think in stereotypical orprejudice patterns. The result is interpreted on the basis of the social cognitive perspective and from out of theories about how people create schemes andprototypes to separate individuals and groups from each other.This study suggests that men more easily express their stereotypes and prejudice, while women more often seem to be careful with their stereotypes and prejudice, and end up redefining them.
