För att uppnå konkurrenskraft och tillväxt behöver företag tillgångar. Dessa kan finansieras genom leasing eller förvärv. Beroende på ett företags strategiska inriktning kan finansieringsmetoderna vara olika fördelaktiga. Ett företag kan vidare delas in i tre olika nivåer baserat på vilket tidsperspektiv som är i fokus vid beslutsfattande. Syftet med studien är att förklara varför företag väljer en finansieringsmetod som inte ligger i linje med den strategiska inriktningen.

This report deals with the design of a controller for SmartMedia? flash memory cards, based on a hardware description found in the SmartMedia? Interface Library - SMIL. The design was made on logic gate level, using standard cells in OrCAD Capture. After simulation of the design in PSpice A/D, it was exported as an EDIF netlist, which was used to make a chip layout in L-Edit, a layout tool for making integrated circuits. The layout was made using a method called Standard Place and Route - SPR, where the layout tool places standard cells from a library and connects them according to the EDIF netlist.

?Boverket? the Design Regulations in Sweden, also called BKR has for a long timebeen the mandatory standard that has guided and regulated construction design. Butat the end of 2010 BKR was replaced with Eurocode. This report deals with thecomparison of these two standards when it comes to wood construction. Duringwinter 2009/2010 there were many roof collapses due to excessive loads on theroofs across Sweden.

The company GEMS PET Systems produces cyclotrons which is a type of particle accelerator. The cyclotrons create log files that are analyzed by the company?s employees for different purposes like troubleshooting or installation. The purpose of the project is to with a usage-centered design method create a paper prototype of a tool that will help the employees to analyze the log files in a more efficient way than earlier.The result shows how the usage-centered design method was used to create the paper prototype and how the user interface was created according to human-computer interaction (HCI)..

This Masters thesis is concerned with the complex planning process of setting up a citizen bureau in a public library. The aim is to find out how citizen bureaux are designed and to suggest a simplified model of strategic planning. The planning process is studied from a business perspective in the library context, and this perspective is also used to study citizen bureaux and their written plans elsewhere. A combination of qualitative methods are used: observations, focus group discussions and interviews. Observations in the public library showed a great need for an environmental analysis as well as structure to the planning process.

Strategisk affärsutveckling har länge varit ett fenomen åtskilliga företag velat bemästra. Då ett kontinuerligt förändrande marknadslandskap präglar dagens affärsutveckling är det svårt att bedriva effektiv strategisk affärsutveckling. Denna studie syftar till att beskriva och öka förståelsen kring hur ett modernt IT-företag med hjälp av ett balanserat styrkort som strategiskt verktyg skall kunna förbättra den förändringsbaserade affärsutvecklingen utifrån de anställdas perspektiv. Fyra års akademisk erfarenhet inom ekonomi samt ett brinnande intresse för strategisk affärsutveckling ligger till grund för denna studie.Studier har visat att generellt sett närmare 80 procent av anställda inom olika företag upplever oklarheter kring begreppet förändring och hur det påverkar organisationens strategiska utveckling. Således har vi valt att i det teoretiska avsnittet fokusera på strategisk affärsutveckling, vidare har vi belyst konceptet Change Management samt hur förändring påverkar den strategiska utvecklingsprocessen.

Kinnarps AB är ett av de största ledande möbeltillverkande företagen i Europa, för kontorsmöbler. Kinnarps AB har många produktvarianter och erbjuder hela inredningslösningar och leveranser över hela världen. De normala leveranstiderna är två till fyra veckor men för närvarande har Kinnarps AB:s leveranstider förlängts då efterfrågan gått upp kraftigt.Produktionen präglas av kortsiktig planering med akuta lösningar, vilket innebär att den långsiktiga resursplaneringen till stor del uteblir. Produktions- och inköpsavdelningen har uppgett att den efterfrågeinformation som finns tillgänglig är svår att tillämpa vid strategisk och taktisk planering för material- och kapacitetsresurser. Med hjälp av mer utvecklade prognoser är förhoppningen att bättre kunna hantera efterfrågevariationer så som säsongsvariationer, produktmixförskjutning och trender.För att söka förbättringsområden för prognostiseringsarbetet genomfördes detta projekt som en fallstudie på Kinnarps AB.

I did my degree project together with Universeum AB. The project had the work title: children?s world and the aim were to give children between 3-8 years old a place that was especially made for them. With their interests and needs in mind the area should trigger play but also learning through a well planned pedagogical environment.I did this project because I thought this was an excellent opportunity to really practise my new gained skills I had learned during my two years in CCD (Child Culture Design). It also gave me the opportunity to actually see how well my knowledge was working when it was put to the test, and I did learn a lot from this.Together with a crew of 6 people I developed and designed the area.
