Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar styrkan i ett företags strategiska position. Styrkan klassificeras som graden av svårighet konkurrerande företag har att inta det egna företagets position. Syftet uppnås genom att applicera en kvalitativ fallstudie på Rynkebys lansering på den svenska markanden. The Resource Based View (RBV) och dess isoleringsmekanismer samt ConsumerThe purpose of this study is to investigate which factors affect the strength of companies strategic position. The strength is defined by how hard it is for a competing firms to enter the strategic position. The factors are derived by applying the Resource- Based View (RBV) and it’s Isolation Mechanisms as well as Consumer Benefit Experienced (CBE) and it’s Human Capital based strategies on a case

Sammanfattning År 1987, kom Brundtlandkommissionens rapport med titeln Vår gemensamma framtid. Enligt rapporten så kan hållbar utveckling definieras som: En utveckling som tillfredsställer dagens behov utan att äventyra kommande generationers möjligheter att tillfredsställa sina behov. Begreppet hållbar utveckling har ända sen dess varit en central del av alla internationella miljörättsliga dokuSummary In 1987 the Brundtland commission presented its report entitled Our Common Future. According to the report, sustainable development can be defined as: A development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The term sustainable development has been a central part in all international environmental law documents eve

People that have driven a car with a trailer at high speed know that the trailer can begin to oscillate. This oscillation is known as snake behavior. How much the car and trailer starts to oscillate depends on how the trailer is loaded. An empty trailer does not tend to oscillate, while a heavy loaded trailer, with the load centered over the trailer axle, oscillates more easily. For a normal perso

Mental crisis is according to Johan Cullberg (2006) a reaction pattern in which a person suffering from acute internal or external stresses which occur when one's life experiences and behaviour are not sufficient to cope with the new life situation you are in. We think that we as future social workers often can come across mental crisis in our work. As we think we don´t learn enough about ment

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Geografiska Informationssystem (GIS) är ett system för att hantera geografisk data som jämfört med traditionella forskningsmetoder gör det lättare att sammanställa och analysera dessa data. GIS började utvecklas i Nordamerika på 1960-talet och har under de senaste två decennierna haft stor påverkan på hur hanteringen av rumslig data går till. Användningsområdena Geographical Information System (GIS) is a technique that has revolutionized the way we process spatial data. The possibilities for GIS are endless and it is today used in a wide range of subject areas such as social planning, environmental monitoring and marketing. However, the process of implementing GIS is a long and usually runs in to a lot of problems. The aim of this study is to compare and

Om ett ekosystem ska fortsätta att förse samhället med viktiga tjänster måste det vara anpassningsbart. Som en del av ett ekosystem är arters förmåga att förflytta sig över landskapet vitalt för anpassningen. Grönstruktur underlättar förflyttningen av arter i ett landskap fragmenterat av bebyggelse och barriärer. Vid ett förändrat klimat är grönstruktur viktigt av två anledningar. Ökat antal extreFor an ecosystem to be able to continue to provide important services to society, it must be able to adapt to change. As part of an ecosystem, the ability of a species to migrate in the landscape is vital for the adaption to change. A green infrastructure allows the movement of species in a landscape fragmented by human influenced land use. The importance of a green infrastructure is twofold in a

All companies face risk in their daily business. Internationalised companies tend to experience higher risk due to for example unfamiliar business environment than companies that act only on the national market. Estonia became independent as late as in 1991 and is therefore a new interesting market for many companies in neighbouring countries like Sweden. Risks that are most apparent for an intern

Problem: The industry structure could be viewed as changing. A problem for some mangers is the knowing how the consequences of their decisions affect their supply chain in advance. Purpose: The purpose is divided into two parts. (1) To examine the possibility of applying the complexity theory through an agent-based model at a supply chain. (2) To investigate and evaluate different future scenarios

The cultural board of region Skåne decided fall of 2008 to reorganize the fundings of the cultural pedagogy. What the reorganization implicates is that the everyday practice of the pedagogues will not be paid for by the region, and instead the pedagogues will focus on capacity building and competence maintaining towards all of those who work pedagogically with children. They will work in five diff

“I’m different all the time” – A qualitative study of young people’s roles and collective identity formation in different parts of Gothenburg The purpose of this study was to compare young people’s view of their neighborhoods, and what significance the residential area has for their collective identity formation. Young people living in a residential area with a low proportion of native Swedes, lo

This essay deals with eight women, who all left their native country Bosnia because of the war. Before the flight, each individual is a human being with a role and a place in the structure of society. After the flight, she suddenly finds herself in an unknown community, after having lost her land, her culture, family, friends and identity. The purpose of this essay was to try to give a backdrop of

This study examines and compares theoretical CDS spreads created by a structural framework with empirical CDS spreads. The model employed is the CreditGrades model based on the Merton framework from 1974 which calculate default probabilities and credit spreads from balance sheet and equity data. The aim is to measure how well the model can explain the observed CDS spreads and if it has any predict

The Palaeocene arctic supported a vegetation type quite distinct from the tundra and polar desert of today. Here we demonstrate, through the palynological record, the structure of this extinct vegetation and its dynamics over this period. The Late Palaeocene coal-bearing units of the Sagwon Bluffs on Alaska's North Slope (present latitude 69 degrees N) are predominantly fine-grained, non-marine an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodförgiftning är en spridd och svår infektion och har en hög dödlighet. Skador på blodkärlen är en viktig del i sjukdomsutvecklingen. Glykosaminoglykaner (GAG) är negativt laddade kolhydrater som bland annat förekommer på blodkärlens insida och här utgör gränsskiktet mot blodbanan. På denna plats är GAG betydelsefullt för blodkärlens blodproppshämmande effekt, för traThe endothelial glycocalyx is the carbohydrate rich inner layer of the blood vessels. Important components of the glycocalyx are the proteoglycans with their attached glycosaminoglycans. At this location these molecules contribute to the adhesion and transport of leucocytes to inflamed tissue, the anticoagulation as well as the transport of fluid across the vessel wall. All these functions are dis

Submerged breakwaters (SBWs) are becoming a popular option for coastal protection, mainly due to their low aesthetic impact on the natural environment. However, SBWs have rarely been employed for coastal protection in the past and therefore, their efficacy remains largely unknown. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the structural and environmental conditions that govern the

BackgroundDimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is essential for the preservation of liquid nitrogen-frozen stem cells, but is associated with toxicity in the transplant recipient. Study Design and MethodsIn this prospective noninterventional study, we describe the use of DMSO in 64 European Blood and Marrow Transplant Group centers undertaking autologous transplantation on patients with myeloma and lymphoma

One of the most influential factors determining the growth and composition of soil bacterial communities is pH. However, soil pH is often correlated with many other factors, including nutrient availability and plant community, and causality among factors is not easily determined. If soil pH is directly influencing the bacterial community, this must lead to a bacterial community growth optimised fo

Seventeen Lactobacillus strains were tested for cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) using the salt aggregation test (SAT) and Congo red binding (CRB) assay. CRB was pH and ionic strength dependent and protease sensitive and in the presence of 100 μg/ml cholesterol, the CRB was significantly reduced. Autoaggregating (AA) L. crispatus strains showed 50% more CRB than the reference strain, the curli-pr

Natural enemies exert selection pressure on their prey. Predators and parasitoids drive their prey into the evolution of novel traits to cope with this stress. When eggs and juveniles are the target of enemies, defense strategies may rely on adults. However, it is not easy to predict whether adults should actively protect unrelated offspring. Females of the golden egg bug (Phyllomorpha laciniata)
