Agency theory describes the conflict of interest between the principal (stockholders) and the agent (CEO). Aligning the incentives of executives with those of the owners is the most direct way to mitigate the agency problem. If there is no meaningful link between CEO compensation and company performance, it is doubtful that the large sums of assets in public corporations are being managed efficiently. In theory the solution is simple reward the CEO when shareholders wealth increases. The purpose of this paper is to investigate if there is a relationship between company performance and CEO compensation among Swedish companies, in materials and information technology industry.

Poland has since 2021 dealt with the migration crisis at its border with Belarus and when the new government took power in 2023, many had high hopes for its management of the crisis.

This essay examines the experiences of activists who work at the border, by performing interviews and a thematic analysis regarding the Polish state?s handling of the migration crisis with the change of government in 2023 and how they see that it has affected Poland and EU?s relationship.

I en global värld där närmaste konkurrenten bara är ett musklick bort från den potentiella kunden är behovet av att kunna marknadsföra på ett bra sätt elementärt.Försäljaren vill behålla befintliga kunder inom företaget och behovet av att göra sighörd har ökat betydligt. Detta har bidragit till att en ny marknad vuxit fram med stöd från informationssystem med funktioner som tillhandahåller möjligheten att rikta sin marknadsföring mot en speciell kund. Systemen kallas CRM-system, CRM står för Customer Relationship Management. Många större organisationer känner behovet av att införa denna typ avsystem i den egna organisationen. Kompetensen och insikten om vilka förändringar ett CRM-system innebär för organisationen är ofta mycket låg och införandet resulterar ofta i utebliven framgång.

This paper is based on Bowlby's attachment theory in the exploration of Christian pastoral care literature. Kirkpatrick and Granqvist account for the majority of previous research on the subject, however, not related to counselling or counselling literature. The selected pastoral literature, which is three books by each author: Liselotte J Andersson and Margareta Melin provide several possible associations with attachment theory. In the process, nonetheless, more literature has been studied than those reported here. This paper aims to investigate whether a relationship with God is given as an attachment relationship of the selected pastoral literature.

Information blev även hämtat från olika källor såsom litteratur, internet och databaser.Slutsats: Slutsatsen med detta arbete är att Handelsbanken har gynnats av att använda sig utav CRM och att fördelarna är fler än nackdelarna då det inte finns några nackdelar med Handelsbankens användande av CRM. CRM skapar alltså lönsamhet och är något som banken bör fortsätta använda sig utav i framtiden då det gynnar företaget positivt. .

We have performed a case study on Acne Jeans, a creative Swedish fashion company, which initiated a cooperation with the Swedish venture capital firm Öresund.
