Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system har genom historien setts som komplexa, problematiska och verksamhetskritiska. ERP-projekt kräver ofta nära samarbeten mellan många parter. I ett sådant projekt blir tillit till IT-konsultbolaget/leverantören en viktig faktor och kan vara avgörande för projektets utfall. Trots detta har relativt lite forskning problematiserat hur ERP-projekt påverkas av bristande tillit mellan leverantör och kund. Denna uppsats tar sitt avstamp i att undersöka hur relationen mellan kund och konsultpåverkar utfallet av en ERP-implementation.

This B.Sc. Thesis examines how Swedish Large Cap companies communicate CSR in social media. We describe the current state of CSR communication in four different social media channels, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and blogs. This research, supported by interviews with stakeholders and a quantitative survey, analyses the potential risks and benefits from communicating CSR via social media and provides concrete advice on the development of a CSR communication strategy for social media. Although some benefits have been realized, many companies have failed to truly reap the potential benefits from an effective social media strategy for CSR.

Today the school is a given place for preventing social problems. The school struggles continuously to live up to the expectations of balancing preventive social work with pedagogy in a satisfactory way.The purpose of this essay is to get a picture of priorities of social work in school. I want to know what it is that affects and controls the principal's decision about what kind of social project they will accept and be a part of.This essay shows that only one of the eleven principals interviewed apply projects based on evidence when they decide about participation in a social project. Instead, the decisions are based on references from other schools. The reason why the principals do not base their judgement on projects which are based on evidence is because they consider the search for results too time consuming.When there is no requirement that a certain part of the social work in a school must be based on evidence, it leads to the children taking part in different social projects which we can not guarantee are good for them.One solution can be to guide the principals through a national social teachingplan, which can assure that social work based on evidence are being applied in the municipality schools as well as the independent schools..

 Denna studie har syftat till att mäta följsamhet till terapimetoden Interpersonell psykoterapi, undersöka sambanden mellan självrapporterad och observatörsskattad följsamhet samt utforska om terapeutens följsamhet påverkar behandlingsresultatet. Inga signifikanta samband mellan den självrapporterade och observatörsskattade följsamheten hos terapeuterna kunde konstateras. På de observatörsskattade variablerna fanns det en signifikant skillnad mellan terapeuterna, där en terapeut var mer följsam än de övriga två. Detta visade sig dock inte ha någon signifikant betydelse för behandlingsresultatet. Patienterna uppnådde en betydande symtomreduktion efter behandlingen utifrån deras självskattningar på MADRS-S och PHQ-9, men några samband med terapeuternas nivå av följsamhet kunde inte statistiskt beläggas.

Alla företag som genomför en förändring uppnår inte ett positivt utfall av denna. En möjlig förklaring enligt forskare inom området skulle kunna vara valet av förändringsstrategi som bygger på olika sätt att initiera och olika tillvägagångssätt att genomföra förändringar. Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera vilken förändringsstrategi som organisationen valt och hur valet av förändringsstrategi påverkat utfallet av förändringen. Uppsatsen grundar sig på en fallstudie av Vägverket Region Norr i Luleå, där vi studerade införandet av TQM i organisationen. Vi har intervjuat tre personer som varit delaktiga i förändringsarbetet.

Bakgrund och problem: Regionservice är en del av Västra Götalandsregionen vars uppgift är att tillhandahålla regionen med olika tjänster. En av tjänsterna som erbjuds är Restaurang och Café, vilken årligen går med förlust. Organisationsmål tenderar att alltmera konfliktera med varandra, särskilt i en offentlig organisation där fler intresseområden ska beaktas. Miljö- och sociala frågor får allt mer fokus i samhället och därför kan organisationer inte enbart ta hänsyn till sina ekonomiska mål längre. Därav blir det svårare för organisationer att uppnå alla sina mål.
