The purpose of this thesis is to study how organisations are working with repatriation of employees who have been working abroad, especially regarding how their experiences and competences are being utilised and transferred within the company. A qualitative abductive method is used, since the aim is to obtain an understanding of this phenomenon. The main source of information has been 21 interviews. The interviews were executed in two steps; a preliminary study with nine Swedish organisations was followed by our main study, containing 12 interviews with repatriates, their colleagues, and personnel employed at the International Assignment departments at Scania and Volvo. The conclusion of this thesis is that large Swedish companies, which have Swedish employees working abroad do not seem to be working with repatriation according to suggestions given by the theories, even though their performances are better than earlier research implies.

Inspiration for this work is from the argumentation, which is about following issue: ``If we are on a good way to leave the bureaucratization``.This paper is a study about Scania. Here I will find out at which level of bureaucratization Scania is ranked on. Scania is one of the leading producers of trucks in the world. It is acompany which works global and the analysis of Scania´s environment is as much as theanalysis of the company's internal organization..

Scania grundades år 1891 och idag spänner sig verksamheten över hundramarknader. Tillverkningen består av tunga lastbilar, bussar samt industriochmarinmotorer, fokus ligger på segmentet tunga transporter. Scania harfortsatt att visa goda intäkter även under perioder av stagnation påmarknaden. Det har gjort Scania till ett attraktivt förvärvsobjekt för andrabolag i samma bransch. Volvo har gjort två försök till förvärv av Scania ochMAN har gjort ett.Volvo gjorde två försök till förvärv först år 1979 och sedan igen år 1999men hindrades då av EU-kommissionen eftersom företagen tillsammansskulle dominera den nordiska marknaden.

Med denna uppsats utformade författarna en huvudfråga vars syfte var att verifiera ifall prisförmån, kvalité, service samt aktning verkligen var basen för åkeriägarnas samt lastbilschaufförernas relevanta preferenser vid val av lastbils fabrikat, Eller om det möjligen fanns andra betydelsefullare preferenser att beakta. Då Sverige har två stora lastbilstillverkare, var Scania samt Volvo givna undersökningsobjekt för författarnas studie inom kundtillfredsställelse..

Syftet med vår studien var att fördjupa oss inom fusionsteori och dess managementproblematik det innebär, i samband med en fusion. Genom att göra en simulerad fusion mellan Volvo PV och BMW hoppades vi kunna få förståelse för fusionsteori. Förutom detta granskade vi om uppköpet av Volvo PV från BMW:s sida innebär bättre synergieffekter för dessa bägge företagen och om samargbetet gynnar Volvo bättre än vad det gjorde med Ford. Vårt resultat visade att fusionen mellan BMW och Volvo skulle gynna båda företagen. Kvalitéer som de båda företagen besitter skulle stärka de båda varumärken jämtemot deras huvudkonkurrenter.

The decision of the European Commission to block the merger between Volvo and Scania in the late 90?s became the starting point to the debate of the possible discriminating effects of the European merger regulation. Especially since the Commission a few years earlier had approved of the merger between Mercedes-Benz and Kässbohrer on the German bus market, where the conditions for competition had been similar to those at hand in the Swedish case. The issue that was and still is in focus is whether the European merger regulation is more difficult to pass for large companies situated on a smaller domestic market than is the case for their competitors of corresponding size but situated on a larger domestic market.This thesis aims at examining what the judgement of the geographical relevant market means for the application of the Merger act. This is being done from two perspectives.

In order for companies to be competitive they perform different types of development projects.  Due to globalization a greater focus is added on costs, not least on costs in development projects. Project controllers are involved in development projects in order to review the financial aspects. The authors have examined the role that project controllers hold in respect of two Swedish manufacturers, Volvo CE and Scania CV. The investigation has revolved around three main issues where the authors conducted interviews with controllers that do not work in development projects and project controllers in development projects. The goal of the interviews was to gain a greater understanding of the role of project controllers, how this role will differ from those that do not work in development projects and the difficulties faced by project controllers.

Objective: The objective of this thesis is to investigate how Scania has attained success to establish on the Indian market and to inquire into the establishment process of Scania and their entrance in the Indian market. The thesis describes different factors such as the product, mode of entry, time of entry and choice of market that play a role when a company establishes and invest in a foreign market.Method: This thesis is limited to the process of establishing Scania on the Indian truck market. A qualitative approach has being utilized in this study, consisting of interviews withStaffan Sjöström, development manager at the R&D department, Koen Knoops, vice president at Financial Services and Henrik Fagrenius, former managing director for Scania in India.
