As revenues from newspaper advertising plummet and their readers loyalty erode, the need to understand newspapers' changing environment and the actors involved in this change is growing in importance. Evidence is the entire industry is entering into a restructuring phase and that this restructuring is driven by the rapid consumer adaption of internet media.In this thesis I elaborate on "how the Internet is affecting the conditions for value creation in printed newspapers" and "how the Internet is affecting the conditions for other actors involved in the printed newspaper's value creation". These two questions land us in the bigger question of "Does the Internet act as a compliment or a substitute to the printed newspaper ".To answer these questions the printed newspaper is represented as the actor in the middle of content producers, advertisers and consumers. It is in its role as a means of distribution and as a co-ordinating force that we study the value creation of the printed newspaper. The empirical base of this thesis is a qualitative participant observation where the author during a period of time interacted and collected data from the open discussion in blogs by several of the industry's top influentials combined with material from seminars and reports on the current state of media.

In recent years e-commerce has experienced a big increase in usage. Internet however, cannot offer the same level of personal contact as traditional shops can.E-commerce is characterized by impersonal and standardized web shops that do not stimulate any emotional connection between the customer and the company. Without this personal contact with the customer the possibilities for the company to stimulate loyalty decreases. Loyalty however, is as important in e-commerce as it is in traditional commerce. The authors of this paper chose the following problem for the study:What marketing strategies are fortunate for e-commerce companies to use to create loyal customers?To research this subject the authors saw it fit to combine qualitative and quantitative research methods.

Sex är ett alltmer vanligt förekommande fenomen i marknadsföringsbudskap. Detta gäller inte enbart annonser där produkten har en sexuell koppling utan även i många fall även där sex inte har någon egentlig koppling till produkten som marknadsförs. Anledningen är att sexualiserad reklam antas väcka uppmärksamhet hos konsumenterna och får annonsen att stå ut ur det ständigt ökande mediebruset. Men den ökade förekomsten av sexualiserad reklam har dock blivit föremål för en växande debatt ? många människor motsätter sig användningen av sex i reklam.

Public health is a concern of many important areas of society and it is therefore of great importance to examine and expand the goals of public health work within different sectors, e.g., school. Sexually transmitted diseases, sexual violence and mental health problems related to sexual orientation are some of the public health problems in society today. Throughout childhood and teenage years, norms and attitudes regarding sexuality and coexistence are formed, which means that school is an important arena when it comes to creating proficient conditions for    coexistence and sexual health. The quality of sex and coexistence education in Swedish schools differs in quality; for content and magnitude vary greatly among schools. It is, therefore, of interest to study how students experience sex and coexistence education, like prioritizations and desires.

Partnering is a new and exciting way of cooperation in the Swedish construction industry. In countries like Denmark and the United Kingdom the concept has been developed during a number of years while the Swedish construction industry has been more reluctant.Partnering is seen by many as the solution to the problems that often occur in design and build contracts. Many others believe that it is a way for the big entrepreneurs to gain unfair advantage. Never the less the concept is fast getting more and more appreciation, especially in the region of Karlstad where many new buildings are built that way.We have focused on the new development of Carlstad Conference Center (CCC) which is currently built with a partnering concept. The main method that have been used in this thesis are interviews with personnel on different positions in the project.

Små reklambyråer har, i skuggan av den ekonomiska krisen, fått konkurrens om sina kunder av större reklambyråer och tryckerier. En lösning kan vara att skapa relationer till företag utanför närområdet. Internetbaserade verktyg för distanskommunikation skulle i sådana fall kunna erbjuda ett bra komplement till det fysiska mötet.Distanskommunikation är effektivt eftersom det bland annat ger minskad tidsåtgång för möten och minskade resekostnader. Denna typ av kommunikation kan dock innebära större risk för missförstånd, och färre tillfällen att bygga en personlig relation till kunden. Användningen av internetbaserade verktyg för att kommunicera på distans förväntas dock bli allt vanligare i framtiden, i takt med att utbudet av kommunikationsverktyg ökar.Huvudmålet med denna studie har därför varit att undersöka förutsättningarna för distanskommunikation mellan reklambyrå och kund.

Bakgrund: TV-reklam är något som de allra flesta kommer i kontakt meddagligen, och det är ett vanligt samtalsämne. Diskussioner kan fokusera på den roliga reklamfilmen som du kan se på TV just nu eller hur irriterande det är när en spännande film stannar för ett reklamavbrott. Vad vi kan säga är att de flesta människorna har en uppfattning om TV-reklam och en del människor tycker att reklam är något positivt och en del människor ser det som något negativt. TV är en av de största marknadsföringskanalerna, men samtidigt ett av de reklamformat som uppfattas mest negativt. Detta innebär ett problemför företag som väljer denna reklamkanal då de tilltänkta mottagarna väljer att byta kanal vid reklampauserna.

This bachelor thesis focuses on metropolitan morning newspapers in Sweden and their relationship with advertisers. Various forces in society have led tochanges in partnerships between metropolitan newspapers and advertisers, which have previously only had small amounts of data.

In the fall of 2014 a literature review and a scientific study of the topic; "... in the extent to which companies in the industry applies the evaluation of continuous improvement? was conducted at Mälardalen University. These studies are the foundation of this thesis.A strategic improvement is often divided into smaller steps of improvements at each hierarchical level from the top down through the organization. But if there is no response system that can confirm the results of these improvements back through the organization it is very hard to see if the improvements really are improvements or just changes and a waste of resources.

Titel Den skräddarsydda reklamen ? En kvalitativ studie med syfte att beskriva hur unga kvinnor upplever den riktade reklamen på FacebookFörfattare Anna Höglund Ekehäll och Isabelle ForsbergKurs Examensarbete i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, Göteborgs universitetTermin Höstterminen 2014Handledare Malin SveningssonAntal sidor och ord 42 sidor och 17867 ord, exklusive bilagor och referenserSyfte Syftet med studien är att beskriva unga vuxna kvinnors upplevelser av den riktade reklamen påFacebook.Metod och material Kvalitativ studie baserad på två fokusgruppsintervjuerHuvudresultat Studien visar att det finns en medvetenhet kring att reklamen på Facebook är riktadsamt en viss kunskap kring hur det går till. Riktandet i sig uppfattas inte som problematiskt, däremot är kategoriseringen i viss del generaliserande på ett sätt som inte uppskattas. Hade kategorierna kalibrerats för att göra reklamen mer träffsäker och reproducera färre stereotyper hade den kunna uppfattas som ett välkommet tillskott i Facebookflödet. Informationen om användarna som Facebook använder för att anpassa och rikta reklamen känns okej för våra intervjupersoner att dela med sig av, om den används till specifikt det.
