China is a unique market that differs from the Western market in many ways. Companies are not required to publicize financial reports, and furthermore a heavy focus on business relationship building can make it hard for companies to have high quality streams of data to get insights about their markets. For a consultant company to successfully enter the Chinese market and helping producing and technological global firms improving their insights on the Chinese market, the consultant company needs to understand which the important factors are and how those factors can help in creating value for their potential customers. To help the analyzing and consultant firm called Kairos Future, a qualitative case study was conducted on 16 different global companies with focus on industrial production. The case study was mainly conducted through face to face interviews with decision makers who had a broad understanding of their respective companies.

Titel: Ta för Dig av Eslöv! - Ett svenskt perspektiv på platsutveckling.Beskrivning: Kandidatuppsats inom programmet Service Management, Lunds Universitet, Campus Helsingborg.Författare: Sandra Friberg, Kristin Holmqvist och Cajsa Moberg.Handledare: Filippa Säwe och Hervé Corvellec.Datum: 2008-05-29. Eslöv har länge fått dras med epitetet ?Sveriges tråkigaste stad? som under årtionden påverkat människors image av platsen. På grund av trenderna mot ökad kommersialisering, mobilitet och homogenisering, har det aldrig tidigare varit så viktigt för platser att differentiera sig från varandra och upprätthålla en positiv image. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att undersöka hur en liten, svensk kommun kommunicerar ut sina differentierings-strategier för att påverka sin image i positiv riktning.

Genom Internets uppkomst och sociala mediers utveckling har konsumenter allt mer börjat vända sig bort från traditionella medier som radio, TV och nyhetstidningar. Detta eftersom konsumenter ser sociala medier som en mer trovärdig källa till information och att det erbjuder dem att själva ha kontroll över sin mediekonsumtion. Sociala medier erbjuder även konsumeter att sprida information till en global publik. Eftersom att konsumenter fått mer kontroll över sin tillgång till information har konsumenter även fått en makt i sin relation till företag. Samtidigt utsätts konsumenter för mängder av marknadsföringsbudskap dagligen vilket har skapat ett mediebrus.

It is a well known archaeological concern that the remains of human bones left from the bronze age and early iron age Scandinavia are not nearly enough to represent the estimated population of the time. Furthermore the bones of each find rarely represent a whole individual. The majority of the bones must have been disposed of somewhere else, possibly scattered in running waters or in the fields, where they have evaporated or are securely hidden from archaeological excavations.This thesis deals with the grave concept and the problem in using a word that is so very clouded by its modern, western meaning. It also offers an alternative explanation to why the bones are handled the way they are and why they are found in such awkward contexts..

Konkurrensen mellan aktörerna inom klädbranschen är idag stor och kommer förmodligen växa sig ännu större de kommande åren.

Med grund i kundens förändrade roll på marknaden har företag på olika sätt tvingats ändra sina produkt- och tjänsterbjudanden för att bättre möta kundens mer specifika önskemål och krav. Något som kommit att bli allt vanligare och användbart är att i varierande utsträckning involvera kunden i processen med att skapa den optimala produkten eller tjänsten. Att involvera sina kunder i skapandet av produkten påstås, tack vare graden av individanpassning, öka sannolikheten för att kunden ska bli nöjd. Kunden är idag dessutom mer mogen än tidigare och kompetent nog att kunna involveras i olika steg i skapandet av produkten. Ytterligare en effekt av den ökade kundnytta som kommer med medskapandet betonas vara en stärkt relation mellan företag och kund. En stark relation menas öka sannolikheten att få behålla de kunder företaget en gång lyckats värva.

Målet med att anlita en fastighetsmäklare är tydligt, bostaden ska bli såld till ett tillfredställande pris. Däremot är processen, det vill säga vad tjänsten egentligen innehåller och hur fastighetsmäklaren sätter sina arvoden, desto mer diffus. Mäklartjänsten är liksom tjänster i allmänhet opåtagliga, ytterst subjektivt uppfattade och svåra att standardisera. Det är bland annat detta som skiljer tjänster från produkter. Även mäklarbranschen är komplex, då den bygger på tekniska aspekter samtidigt som valet av fastighetsmäklare bygger på personliga aspekter.

Social media provides a new position of power to the single individual within PR and marketing campaigns. When a company uses social media as a communication tool in their PR and marketing practice, they have to adapt themselves after the customers' needs and the new communication structure within social media. Communication in social medi is different from traditional media, which is more one-way communicative and visual in its interaction, rather than the digital media that are more two-way communicative av viral through dialogue. If a company creates PR and marketing campaigns within social media without adjusting to the new rules of communication through dialogue, and instead try to apply traditional one-way communication to their social campaigns, they put themselves and their brands in risk of public humiliation and loss of customers; the speed of the viral dialogue over social media can spread bad news fast, and with the newfound power of the single individual, the impliacations can thus be devastating for a company and its brand. If an organization does not respond and take part of the criticism that may be directed at them through the customers' comments, the negative dialogue among clients and the public within social media can quickly create a hazard enviorment for a company and its brand to be seen in. The public within these social media platforms are more independent and continuously conversing with each other on a local an global scale.
