Arbetslivet är i ständig förändring. Från att ha gått från ett Sverige där en stor del av befolkningen har arbetat fysiskt inom industrisektorn kan det idag sägas att det krävs mer personligt engagemang av medarbetarna. Denna studie är en fallstudie som ger ett exempel på en organisation som, genom att införa ett artistkoncept, kan presentera för sina medarbetare vad som förväntas av dem i arbetet. Organisationen är Parks and Resorts Scandinavia AB och syftet med denna studie är att studera hur deras rekryteringschefer gör för att vid nyrekryteringar presentera vad det innebär att arbeta för ett företag med ett artistkoncept samt hur detta synliggörs genom rekryteringsprocessens olika delar. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med en kombination av datainsamlingsmetoder såsom text- och innehållsanalys, observation samt intervjuer.

The European history of bath has its roots in the Greek culture about 2500 years ago. In every Greek town was situated at least one center of culture, a gymnasium, that contained bath establishements, areas for physical training, restaurants, librarys and readingrooms. Already 400 B.C. Hippokrates, founder of the art of healing, spoke for the waters important qualities in medical treatements. After the Greeks the Romans overtook and maintained the polished manners of bathing, and thanks to them the culture spread to the north of Europe. During the middleages the art of swimming was well respected among soldiers and knights, and was frequently practised in tournament games and competitions. At the same time the bathhouses were developed in the towns of Europe.

Hidden away in the pristine landscape on the northeast shore of the Dominican Republic, the remote village of Miches is on the verge of shifting its economic resource base from traditional fishing into what could become an international model for sustainable tourism. The aim of this thesis was to produce a vision of a waterfront park near the center of the village; demonstrating concept-based landscape design that reflects the goals of sustainable development originating from the local incentive structure. A composite landscape analysis and design concept both served to inform and guide the design work, which was executed through model building, hand drawings, and production of a visual presentation in the format of an architectural competition entry. The design concept, All invited, signifies the distinction between the development that is about to take place in Miches and the otherwise common all-inclusive Resorts, where tourists are set apart from the local community and spend most of their time within the fenced-off premises of the hotel. All invited also captures the typical Dominican hospitality, and mirrors the aspirations of turning Miches into a safe and welcoming place for visitors. The result is a public park design that is equally inviting local residents as it is to tourists, and where the unique qualities of the site are emphasized without being exploited.

Nöjesfält har ofta uttalade servicekoncept vars syfte är att dess gäster ska få en service av hög kvalitet för att nöjesfältet som helhet ska vara underhållande, och inte enbart de åkattraktioner och andra nöjen som erbjuds.

Resandet i Europa prognostiseras att öka med 2,3 procent varje år fram till år 2030. Den svenska turismnäringen tros ha stora möjligheter att ta del av ökningen. De norrbottniska lokaltidningarna har under det senaste året rapporterat om nyetableringar inom hotell- och restaurangbranschen. Eftersom både konkurrensen och gästnätterna ökar i Norrbotten ligger större vikt vid att erbjuda rätt koncept till rätt pris.Vi ser att starka ledare som Steve Jobs hos Apple och Dave Horton hos Hilton Hotels & Resorts har visat på starkt engagemang, gediget arbete och målmedvetenhet. De har också vågat ta risker samtidigt som de varit lyhörda gentemot marknaden.
