De negativa effekter som korruption har på såväl enskilda nationer som det globala samhället i helhet är kända och väl dokumenterade. Ändå betalas uppskattningsvis tusen miljarder amerikanska dollar varje år i mutor över hela världen och både individer och organisationer erkänner att de begått korrupta handlingar.

I ett antal år har EU-domstolen fått ta ställning till den potentiella konflikt som existerar mellan EU-rätten och reglerna inom WTO. En särskilt uppmärksammad fråga är huruvida WTO-reglerna kan ge upphov till direkt effekt inom EU:s rättssystem, dvs. att de kan åberopas av individer i medlemsländernas domstolar. EU-domstolen har bedömt att WTO-reglerna generellt inte kan ge upphov till direkt effFor a number of years, the European Court of Justice has had to deal with the potential conflict between the law of the European Union and the law of the World Trade Organization. One issue that has gained particular interest is the question of whether the rules of the WTO give rise to direct effect within the EU legal system, meaning that they can be invoked by individuals in the courts of EU Mem

Under de senaste åren har incitamentsprogram har blivit ett allt vanligare tillvägagångssätt för att kompensera bolagsledningar. Vanligtvis består programmen av en blandning av fasta och rörliga ersättningar som kan baseras på kontanta och aktierelaterade incitament. Den ökade användningen av incitamentsprogram kan förklaras genom agentteorin. Enligt teorin kan principalen styra agentens handlanDuring the last decades incentive programs have become increasingly more popular in terms of rewarding top-management. Ordinarily the schemes consist of a mix of fixed and variable pay, which may be based on either monetary or stock-related incentives. The augmented use of incentive schemes may be explained by agency theory. The theory provides that a principal may control the behavior of an agen

Four problem areas with FrontPac‟s previous cost estimation system were identified. First, only a few properly skilled employees are actually able to perform cost estimations due to the system‟s user requirements. Second, salespersons cannot estimate the cost for orders by themselves which significantly increases the time to approximate price in the sales process. Third, neither can they perform s

In September 2010, following the national elections, the Swedish Democrats (SD) made their entry in to the Swedish Parliament. Accordingly, many argued that the European right-wing trend had eventually reached Sweden. This thesis stems from the assumption that SD is being frequently alienated in Swedish media. On the basis of theories treating power and identity construction, I argue that the ali

Sammanfattning Inom koncerner kan det vara en betydande fördel att kunna resultatutjämna mellan bolagen. Olika länder har olika regelsystem för att möjliggöra resultatutjämning. Utöver de nationella lagstiftningarna måste varje medlemsland inom unionen ta hänsyn till EU-rätten. EU-domstolen kommer löpande med nya avgöranden där medlemsstaternas lagar anses vara förenliga eller oförenliga med EU-räSummary Within groups of companies there might be a considerable advantage if there is a possibility to neutralize the result between the companies. Different countries have, to make neutralization of the results possible, various legislation. In addition to the national legislations, every member of the Union has to take EU-Law into consideration. The Court of Justice of the European Union is cur

Den mest kännetecknande aspekten av avtalsrätten är dess långtgående avtalsfrihet, vilken möjliggör att kommersiella avtal kan influeras av hur avtal konstrueras inom andra rättssystem. I avtalsrätten syns denna utveckling tydligt i och med förekomsten av boilerplate klausuler i kommersiella avtal. En av dessa klausuler är integrationsklausulen. Den vedertagna uppfattningen om innebörden av en iThe most characteristic aspect of Contract Law is its far-reaching freedom of contract, which makes it possible for commercial agreements to have an influence on how contracts are construed within other legal systems. In Contract Law this development is apparent with the use of boilerplate clauses in commercial agreements. One of these clauses is the integration clause. The recognized understandi

The surrounding river valley landscape is also among the most prone to landslides in the country, with cohesive sediments, including quick clay, as the dominant soil type.

Ett lokalhyresavtal kan vara ingånget för långa tidsperioder och en frågeställning för såväl hyresvärd som hyresgäst är därför om hyresrätten kan förverkas så att avtalet upphör i förtid, om hyresgästen bryter mot bestämmelser i avtalet. Anser hyresvärden att hyresgästen åsidosätter skyldigheter som går utöver jordabalken kan 12 kap. 42 § första stycket 8 JB åberopas som förverkandegrund. I denna Non-housing tenancy agreements can have long terms of agreement. It is therefore an interesting issue for the landlord and the tenant as to whether the tenancy can be forfeit or not. When the parties have specified obligations in the agreement which go beyond the Land Code, 12:42 1 st. p. 8 the Land Code is applicable. This means that the tenancy is forfeit if the tenant neglects contractual oblig
