Yet, fundamental questions about the relation between value systems of Generation Millennials entering the workforce a

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur organisatoriskt lärande påverkar transaktionskostnader. Tidigare forskning indikerar att transaktionskostnadsteorins beskrivning av lärande behöver kompletteras för att ge en mer fullständig förståelse för de bakomliggande mekanismerna till företags agerande. Studien syftar därmed till att ge en mer övergripande förståelse för transaktionskostnadsteorin. StuThe purpose of this study is to examine how organisational learning affects transaction costs. Previous research implies that more research needs to be done to further develop the Transaction Cost Theory in order to give a broader understanding of transaction cost economics and the underlying mechanisms of firms’ actions. Hence, this study aims to give a more broad understanding by incorporating o

Sverige är ett av mycket få länder som inte har någon tidsgräns för hur länge häktning får pågå. Dessutom åläggs regelmässigt restriktioner som innebär att den häktade i princip är helt isolerad under häktningstiden. För detta har Sverige fått ta emot långvarig skarp kritik från internationellt håll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda det svenska häktningsinstitutet, med fokus på häktningstidernSweden is one of very few countries that has no legislation limiting time on remand. In addition, restrictions are imposed regularly, which means that the remand prisoner essentially is completely isolated during the period of remand. For this, Sweden has received long-standing sharp international criticism. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the Swedish detention laws, with focus on the

I denna uppsats granskas Högsta förvaltningsdomstolens användning av icke-bindande myndighetsregler, rekommendationer, vid rättskipningen i skattemål i relation till regeringsformens normsystem. Detta görs genom att använda en rättsdogmatisk metod med ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv och en internkritisk syn på rättsordningen. Regeringsformens norm- och normgivningssystem ställer upp strikta ramar The thesis examines the use of non-binding administrative regulation, or recommendations, in the tax case law of the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court in light of the hierarchy of regulation prescribed by the Instrument of Government. This is done using a legal-dogmatic method with a development perspective and an internally critical view of the law. The hierarchy of regulation and law-making

Dynamic pricing is a pricing strategy where prices are no longer fixed or constant. Instead, they are continuously readjusted according to perceived demand and factors that influence the desirability of the product. It is in passenger transport where it has one of its biggest applications, in order to increase profits and maximize the use of limited capacity. While extensively studied for its econ

A method towards a dynamic daylight glare evaluation in the early stage of design was developed in this thesis, using existing glare metrics under multiple observer positions and gazes. The results pointed out that it is possible for a zonal characterization regarding glare sensation to be achieved with the combination of multiple existing metrics and a weighting system, named the adaptation possi

This paper will investigate the conflicts that can arise during destination development following a World Heritage inscription. Previous literature mentions that conflicts arise, but focuses on a more managerial perspective, and fails to account for the characteristics of those conflicts. The aim of the paper is to account for the characteristics of the conflicts that arise, by trying to grasp how

Formaldehyd är en kemikalie som används till allt möjligt. I första hand används den som en råvara till andra kemiska fabriker, men kan också användas för att göra olika typer av laminater. Johnson Matthey Formox är ett företag som utvecklar och säljer fabriker som producerar formaldehyd. Formaldehyd skapas när metanol reagerar med syre under specifika situationer. Formox har gjort många utvecklinA pre-adiabatic reactor concept for catalytic methanol oxidation was investigated. The reason was the possibilities of a reduced catalyst reloading time and reduced deflagration risk. An adiabatic reactor pilot was constructed. Trials were performed to confirm that the pilot was running at an adiabatic state. Information about the pilot pressure drop, temperature profile and outlet composition was

Despite climate risks posing a serious threat to business and business continuity, empirical research has shown little active involvement of the private sector in climate change adaptation (CCA). National plans of governments, as well as global agreements and reports, highlight the need for collaborative climate action on a global scale, placing special emphasis on private sector involvement as cr

To form a building adapted to the environment and at the same time preserve land, water and other resources in a long term it has to fulfill some requirements. Requirements are set by international and national governing authorities. In order for a regular consumer, property owner or entrepreneur to be guided towards sustainable construction, there are also several environmental certification syst

The purpose of this thesis is to examine if it exists a relationship between gender diversity on the board of directors and firm performance and to answer if a legislated gender quota for corporate boards would affect the performance of Swedish public firms. The approach in this study is quantitative and conducted on 48 large cap companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm, during the time period 20

The autumn of 2015 constituted a major break with the prior migration regime in Sweden, as the government implemented temporary migration laws in order to curb the large-scale arrival of migrants, which had taken the authorities by surprise at the time. Following this, the question of migration has gradually to a greater extent come to be framed as a threat by government officials and the politica

Hur kan vi tackla problemet med övergödning utan att våra reningsverk ska behöva använda massor med kemikalier för att ta bort ämnena skyldiga till detta fenomen? Övergödning av hav och sjöar, resulterandes i ökad algblomning och syrebrist, sker på grund av utsläpp av för mycket näringsämnen såsom fosfor. Sverige har därav strikta reningskrav för vattnet vi släpper ut och de flesta reningsverk bedAs eutrophication of lakes and oceans is increasing, regulations regarding phosphorus effluents becomes stricter. Consequently, the majority of Sweden’s wastewater treatment plants employs some method for phosphorus removal. Increased efforts for sustainable purification methods has also led to phosphorus removal by chemical means starting to be replaced by biological phosphorus removal. A common

I den moderna staden suddas gränsen mellan byggnad och gata ut. De samtida shoppingpalatsen, köpcentrumet, är en byggnadstyp som mer än andra löser upp denna gräns när de skapar sina egna gatumiljöer. Vad är dessa nya gator för något? Hur skiljer de sig från andra gator i staden? När gatan fortsätter in i byggnaden, följer rätten till staden med? Det här projektet undersöker köpcentrumet som en In the modern city the border between building and street is increasingly blurred. The urban shopping mall is a building typology that like few other dissolves this border by creating their own interior streetscapes. But what are these streets, what define them and how do they differ from other parts of the urban environment? When the city continues into the building, does the right to the city fo

Crises today are a constant threat to organizations and are likely to cause major consequences for the organization, its members and other stakeholders affected by the event. Most of the previous research on crisis communication has focused on the urgent crisis phase and organizations' efforts to restore its reputation. Only recently has research begun to engage in proactive crisis communicati
