Denna avhandling undersöker hur konsultföretags mål för mångfald och inkludering (D&I) överensstämmer med etniska minoritetsanställdas upplevda erfarenheter i en nordisk kontext. Även om många organisationer har infört D&I-program visar forskning att sådana initiativ riskerar att bli symboliska om de inte är genuint integrerade i företagskulturen. Med hjälp av fallstudier från CGI, DeloitThis thesis examines how the diversity and inclusion (D&I) objectives of consulting firms align with the lived experiences of ethnic minority employees in the Nordic context. While many organisations have implemented D&I programs, research indicates that such initiatives risk becoming symbolic if not genuinely embedded in company culture. Drawing on case studies from CGI, Deloitte, and EY,

In a VUCA world, characterized by complex, unpredictable, ambiguous and rapidly changing conditions, organizations and their managers are constantly faced with interpreting and responding to disruption. While research has investigated how disruption can be navigated, the perspective of how individual managers more concretely navigate disruption remains comparatively underexplored. The purpose

The life science industry has strong female representation at entry levels, yet women remain underrepresented in senior leadership roles. A range of structural and cultural barriers contribute towards this imbalance, one of which is the enduring association between leadership and masculine-coded traits. Masculine-coded traits, often termed as agentic (e.g., assertiveness and dominance), are often

Over the past few decades, employee engagement has been increasingly recognised as a key driver of organisational success. Although previous research has examined psychological and organisational factors influencing engagement, few studies have examined how it varies over time. This study explores the dynamic and sustainable aspects of employee engagement in Swedish organisations, focusing on how

Our thesis investigates the effects that strategies aligned with resonance theory have on organisations when they are used to adapt to technical acceleration. To do so, we use retrospective case studies and qualitative interviews to understand how organisations adapted to the rapid implementation of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. We analyse internal methods of adapt

Given that creative outcomes constitute a critical competitive factor in the creative sector, they also represent an essential resource in a rapidly evolving and innovation-driven market. This motivates an in-depth analysis of the forces that either enable or inhibit creativity. This study examines the influence of management and leadership on creatives in creative industries and identifies factor

This Master's Thesis examines the possibility of developing a software tool for optimizing offshore wind power plant layouts in regards to wake effects. The study was conducted with the purpose of making development and operation of offshore wind power plants more efficient and cost effective. The tool, named OptiWind, was developed in Python and employs several imported packages for mathemati

The aim achieved through this thesis was to ascertain how much the pollutions of black carbon (BC) from each European country systematically deviate from their expected values obtained by inverting a transport model. The model used is based on meteorological observations as well as black carbon values obtained in the past at different locations. It was achieved by fitting a linear regression model

Med en ökande befolkning ökar även behovet av bostäder. Genom ombyggnation av befintliga äldre byggnader kan man ge de boende en modern standard och minska energianvändningen. Att återbruka byggnader ger oftast ett mer hållbart byggande med mindre avfall och koldioxidutsläpp jämfört med att riva och bygga nytt. Syftet med denna fallstudie är att undersöka hur en industribyggnad som uppfördes 1952 With an increasing population, the demand for housing also increases. Due to renovation and retrofitting of the housing stock it is possible to give the future resident a modern housing and at the same time reduce the energy demand for the building. Reusing buildings is often a more sustainable way to develop housing because it results in less waste and lower carbon dioxide emissions compared to d

Introduction: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) in patients with severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) can be a life-saving procedure. The aim of this nationwide prospective study was to investigate the use of DC in aSAH patients in Sweden. Research question: To explore the risk factors and functional outcome associated with DC in patients with aSAH. Material and methods: Patients treated

INTRODUCTION: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are a common driver of suffering and high care needs. We describe the Swedish BPSD registry, founded in 2010 to develop an evidence base for quality improvement in the care of patients with BPSD. Further, we illustrate the potential of the registry by evaluating how individual BPSD affects mortality. METHODS: The registry provi

Purpose: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is related to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, combined data on CRS, pulmonary function, lower airway symptoms, and cigarette smoking from the general population are lacking. The current study investigates the relationships between CRS and chronic airflow limitation (CAL), lower airway symptoms and COPD in a middle-aged populat
