High heels ? a fashion that has not gone out of style after hundreds of years. Despite their esthetic advantages, high heels become uncomfortable and harmful after repetitive and long term use. With this as a starting point, Huyen Nguyen ? a student at the Innovation Engineering Program at the University of Halmstad ? decided to make a final thesis project. The project goal has been to combine the esthetic advantages of high heels and bring a comfortable solution to the equation.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att på uppdrag av Volvo Construction Equipment hitta en metod för att hantera och kategorisera idéflödet i deras idéhanteringssystem Interact. Den metod som användes var kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Slutsatsen är att metoden gick att använda för att kategorisera idéflödet men att ett material som sträcker sig över många ämnen tenderar att sänka tillförlitligheten på resultatet. Vidare bedöms materialet som detta arbete har producerat kunna användas för att bättre ta tillvara på idéer, vilket uppskattas av Volvo Construction Equipment..

The aim of this master?s thesis is to examine how libraries can organize their collections in terms of library shelving and displays and to what extent these activities stem from a desire to create a user-friendly library. The thesis is based upon a case study of Arkenbiblioteket in Sweden and the material consists of a literature study and qualitative, semi-structured interviews with three librarians at Arkenbiblioteket. The theoretical framework consists of theories on information-seeking behavior, classification and displays. These theories form the basis of the analysis of the empirical material.The main reason for the changes in shelf arrangement at Arkenbiblioteket was a desire among the library staff to create a user-friendly library.

Frågeställning:Hur kan ett ökat välbefinnande skapas via utformningen av den fysiska miljön i ett väntrum utifrån våra sinnen? Syfte:Studiens syfte är att undersöka och skapa riktlinjer för att öka välbefinnandet hos patienter, utifrån att skapa en miljö som tar hänsyn till de fem olika sinnena (syn, lukt, smak, hörsel, känsel). Metod:Studiens tillvägagångssätt genomfördes kvalitativt. Där teori insamlades via en omvärldsanalys från bland annat olika elektroniska databaser som Google, Google Scholar, PsycInfo, Sage Journal, ScienceDirekt och Google Books.

The goal with this project was to achieve real-time synchronized video playback over the Internet, or in other words, that multiple clients play the same part of a video at the same time.The result shows how it is possible to build such a protocol, that gives a user experience that the video is synchronized between computers when playing a locally stored file, stream or video delivered using progressive download. This was achieved by designing, then role playing to find weaknesses, and at last implementing the protocols to see how they work in practice. By using such a protocol, it is possible to navigate and discuss around a video in for example a telephone conference, and be sure that everybody is looking on the same picture..

Åren mellan 1950-1965 ses som första generationens innovationsprocess genom att allt fler företag ökade sin användning av innovationsprocesser i samband med den teknologiska utvecklingen i företagen som kännetecknas av den här perioden. Innovation innebär i korthet att något nytt åstadkoms eller att något redan existerande förnyas. Innovationer är ett måste att använda sig av för att företaget ska ha en chans att hålla sig kvar på markanden trots att konkurrensen bara blir starkare och starkare. Det finns flera typer av innovationer, två exempel är produktinnovation och processinnovation. Dessa två innovationstyper är ofta väldigt nära kopplat till varandra och svåra att skilja på.

Syftet med denna studie är utredande och avser att utifrån Shane & Venkataramans teori om idéers uppkomst, MIRPs teori om innovationsprocesser och Sarasvathys teori om causation och effectuation explorativt beskriva och deduktivt tolka innovationsprocesser i Sverige. Problemformuleringen lyder: Hur uppkommer och utvecklas idéer till innovationer i Sverige?Empirin baseras på fyra intervjuer med representanter för fyra olika objekt vilka alla genomgått en innovationsprocess. I resultatdelen beskrivs dessa processer för att sedan analyseras utifrån de tre valda teorierna.Slutsatserna i studien är att innovationsprocesser i Sverige, med varierande avvikelser, uppkommer och utvecklas i enlighet med de tre bakomliggande teorierna..

Kommunikativ innovation är ett hett forskningsområde med tanke på web 2.0. Interaktion mellan människor uppstår kontinuerligt i vardagen och det är just i dessa konstellationer som ny kunskap genereras, information delas och erfarenhet bekräftas.Uppsatsen fokuserar på innovativ kommunikation i intranätmiljöer. Syftet är att undersöka resultatet från den årliga enkätundersökningen av verksamhetsportalen på företag X med målet att generera nya perspektiv på portalens potential ur ett kommunikativt perspektiv. Intentionen med uppgiften är att generera ett resultat som är i linje med de förväntningar systemets användare har och företagets strategiska målsättning att vara en kunskapsstark, homogen organisation med starkt intern kultur.Strategin har varit en metodkombination med en primär kvantitativ studie omfattande 378 respondenter i en online enkätundersökning samt en kompletterande kvalitativ intervju. Även det vetenskapliga perspektivet är dualistiskt och innefattar såväl en hermeneutisks som en pragmatisk syn på undersökningen.
