Som ett led i att kunna erbjuda bättre information och service till nyföretagare har det i Väster- och Norrbotten initierats ett projekt ? Bibliotekskompaniet ? bibliotek och företag i samverkan. Projektet syftar till att utbilda bibliotekarier i att bli bättre rustade att möta företagarnas informationssökningsbehov genom att utveckla bibliotekariernas kunskaper inom företagande och vad det kan innebära. Projektet syftar också till att öka företagares kunskaper om vilka slags resurser biblioteken inom projektet kan erbjuda som kan vara nyttigt för dem.Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad representanter för kommunernas service för nyföretagande i Västerbotten använder sig av för informationskällor och hur de ser biblioteken som en resurs för informationssökning. Uppsatsen fokuserar på representanter för kommunernas service för nyföretagande för att de i ett tidigt skede i förstudien till projektet besvarade en enkät för projektets räkning vars syfte var att undersöka eventuellt intresse av samarbete mellan respondenterna och biblioteken.Uppsatsen visar att respondenterna i dagsläget endast använder sig av biblioteken som resurs för privat räkning, och i väldigt liten eller inte alls när det gäller sin yrkesutövning.

This paper presents a study of the Swedish public service television broadcaster - Sveriges Televisions (SVT) transfer pricing model. The aim of the thesis is to examine the motives for using transfer pricing from a theoretical perspective and if SVT?s transfer pricing model fulfils these motives. We will also examine any potential managerial problems the existing transfer-pricing model might cause and discuss how these could be solved. We have in our study found that the main motive for using transfer pricing within SVT is to allocate internal resources as efficiently as possible.

The store manager can make great benefits of having an eye on how the staff works towards the customer, because the personnel is an important tool when competing with other stores. This paper is focusing on the part that relates to the staff in the store, which is one of the key tools in the competition for customers after the customer made it to the store. Many stores have guidelines which the staff should follow when they meet with customers. If the staff is too tightly controlled by these guidelines, customers can perceive the first encounter with the staff as artificial and as if the genuine friendliness does not exist. It is important that the staff looks at the individual customer and treat every customer in a personal way and that the staff can see the customer?s needs.
