I uppsatsen utreder vi hur ett balanserat styrkort fungerar som styrmedel i ett kunskapsföretag. I den teori som finns om kunskapsföretag står det ingenstans att det balanserade styrkortet är ett sätt att styra kunskapsföretag på. Trots detta upptäckte vi att flera kunskapsföretag använder sig av det balanserade styrkortet. Genom att göra intervjuer på Ernst & Young, vilket är ett kunskapsföretag som använder sig av det balanserade styrkortet, fick vi en inblick i hur styrkortet fungerar i verkligheten. Vi kom fram till att för att styrningen med det balanserade styrkortet ska fungera i kunskapsföretag, bör ett företag i första hand styras med hjälp av friare styrformer, så som målstyrning och deltagande, där de anställda har självständighet och frihet.

Inger Edelfeldt (1956) and Bengt Martin (1933-2010) are two Swedish writers of different generations. Both of them did, between the years 1968 to 1983, write about adolescent men coming to terms with their homosexuality. Edelfeldt wrote two versions of the same story, with slight but significant differences, the main being different implied readers (adult versus adolescent). Bengt Martin wrote about three young homosexual characters: Joakim, Bengt and Bengt. The story about Joakim is presented as fiction but bears many resemblances with Martin?s autobiography.

The thesis strives to answer the question whether there are any differences between how young customers, in comparison with older, are affected by brands when buying different products. The purpose is to get a clearer idea about the brands' importance in the future and in that way also to give guidance to companies about how to best market themselves and there products.To answer the question, an experiment was conducted with 480 respondents taking a survey where they had to rate a product after reading a short text about it. Some of the texts stated that a specific brand was behind the product while some said the product was produced by an unknown brand.The result of the study was that young people showed a greater propensity of rating products with a brand higher than products without brands, in comparison with the older respondents. This gives reason to believe that brands progressively will become an even more important tool for marketers and an unmatched asset for companies in the future..

The purpose of this essay is to analyse the descriptions of young girls' experiences of internet contacts, which have led up to sexual abuse. The aim is to give additional understanding and knowledge concerning grooming.       Grooming means that somebody gets in contact with someone else with the intention of committing sexual violations at a later stage. In most cases this concerns adults who contact children. We have chosen to confine ourselves to focusing on the grooming on internet that has happened to girls. By means of thematic analyses of texts from the books Jag kände mig speciell, grooming på internet, 2012 and Alexandramannen, vår tids största nätsexhärva, 2009, we have found certain themes and linked them up with previous research-work and also theory of social psychology.
