Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att empiriskt använda Sarasvathys ramverk på tre utvalda företag och deras etableringsprocess på den svenska dryckesmarknaden. Metod: Vi har valt att använda oss av en abduktiv synvinkel i vår studie. Den valda undersökningsmetoden är kvalitativ där primärdata samlats in från de intervjuer vi genomfört med grundarna för varje företag. Sekundärdatan vi använt i den

The main factors driving the development of modern means of payment is people's attitudes, the integrity aspect and international influence. People have an instinctive belief that change is synonymous with detereoration. Realizing a cashless society requires a change in the willingness to change and improve. For the development of new payment methods it will eventually be necessary for increas

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra ISO 26000 med etablerade CSR-teorier och genom det komma fram till en ny modell som kan hjälpa företag i sitt arbete med CSR. Metod: Vi har utfört en kvalitativ forskningsmetod där vi utgått från en induktiv ansats genom att vi har samlat in data och utifrån empirin försökt skapa egen teori. Uppsatsen grundar sig främst på det senaste utkastet av ISO 2

Denna uppsats är en cost-benefit analys av Systembolaget som detaljhandelsmonopol, som också inkluderar alkoholskatterna. Dagens situation är den att Systembolaget har detaljhandelsmonopol på starköl, vin och spritdrycker, öl säljs i vanliga livsmedelsbutiker. Alkoholpriset består av fyra komponenter; alkoholskatt, moms, Systembolagets handelsmarginal och leverantörens pris. För hög alkoholkonsumt

Uganda has fertile soils and climatic conditions well suited for cotton production. The country has a competitive advantage in the good intrinsic quality of its cotton, the cheap labour and the fact that cotton is handpicked. There is a ready market for the cotton once it is harvested and there are many areas of use, such as textile, medical supplies, cooking oil, soap and animal feed. In spite of

The spherical crystalline lenses in the eyes of many fish species are well-suited models for studies on how natural selection has influenced the evolution of the optical system. Many of these lenses exhibit multiple focal lengths when illuminated with monochromatic light. Similar multifocality is present in a majority of vertebrate eyes, and it is assumed to compensate for the defocusing effect of

The fabrication of core-shell structures is crucial for many nanowire device concepts. For the proper tailoring of their electronic properties, control of structural parameters such as shape, size, diameter of core and shell, their chemical composition, and information on their strain fields is mandatory. Using synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies and finite element simulations, we determined the

Vid Fantehåla, på gränsen mellan Örkelljunga och Rya socknar i nordvästra Skåne, utkämpades år 1510 ett slag mellan en svensk styrka under ledning av Åke Hansson Thott och en dansk-skånsk under ledning av Tyge Krabbe. Vid slaget dödades Åke Hansson och de svenska styrkorna slogs tillbaka. Mot bakgrund av samtliga uppgifter om slaget och den lokala topografin försöker författaren rekonstruera hände

Background: Antibodies that inhibit the growth of blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum may play an important role in acquired and vaccine-induced immunity in humans. However, the acquisition and activity of these antibodies is not well understood. Methods: We tested dialysed serum and purified immunoglobulins from Kenyan children and adults for inhibition of P. falciparum blood-stage growth in vitro

Atomic-scale understanding and processing of the oxidation of III-V compound-semiconductor surfaces are essential for developing materials for various devices (e.g., transistors, solar cells, and light emitting diodes). The oxidation-induced defect-rich phases at the interfaces of oxide/III-V junctions significantly affect the electrical performance of devices. In this study, a method to control t

Certain species of the fungal genus Trichoderma are potent mycoparasites and are used for biological control of fungal diseases on agricultural crops. In Trichoderma, whole-genome sequencing reveal between 20 and 36 different genes encoding chitinases, hydrolytic enzymes that are involved in the mycoparasitic attack. Sequences of Trichoderma chitinase genes chi18-5, chi18-13, chi18-15 and chi18-17

Purification of cardiomyocytes from the embryonic mouse heart, embryonic stem (ES) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) is a challenging task and will require specific isolation procedures. Lately the significance of surface markers for the isolation of cardiac cell populations with fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) has been acknowledged, and the hunt for cardiac specific markers has i

The importance of weather for tourism is now widely recognized. However, no research has so far addressed weather events from retrospective viewpoints, and, in particular, the role of “extreme” events in longer-term holiday memories. To better understand the character of ex post weather experiences and their importance in destination image perceptions and future travel planning behavior, this expl

BACKGROUND: The liver plays a key role in the metabolism of plasma apolipoproteins, endogenous lipids and lipoproteins. Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common fatal malignant tumors in China and in other Southeast Asian countries. It has been demonstrated that plasma lipid profiles are changed in liver cancer. DATA SOURCES: A MEDLINE database search was performed to identify relevant a

Stoichiometric operation of Spark Ignited (SI) Heavy Duty Natural Gas (HDNG) engines with a three way catalyst results in very low emissions however they suffer from bad gas-exchange efficiency due to use of throttle which results in high throttling losses. Variable Geometry Turbine (VGT) is a good practice to reduce throttling losses in a certain operating region of the engine. VTG technology is

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is known to cause substantial immunosuppression. The present study was designed to characterize blood leukocyte activation in HNSCC and to investigate if the individual activation pattern could be related to tumor progress and survival. The leukocyte activation profile of HNSCC patients and healthy controls was assessed with flow cytometry. HNSCC patie

OBJECTIVE:: To compare employees' and managers' perceptions of implemented changes in an organizational-level workplace intervention. METHODS:: Nine departments participated in an intervention aimed at reducing adverse psychosocial work environment factors. On the basis of a prior risk evaluation, department managers were responsible for decisions and implementation of the intervention, that is, w
