Denna uppsats, som är skriven på kandidatnivå vid företagsekonomiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet, behandlar användandet av konsulter. Det användande som uppsatsen är riktad mot är svenska företagsledningars användande av strategi- och organisationskonsulter. Uppsatsen försöker inte komma fram till om konsulter är bra eller dåliga. Istället försöker den hitta lösningar för företagsledningar
In 2007 the largest landlord in Malmö, MKB fastighets AB, performed a survey amongst all their tenants. In this thesis we have analysed MKB’s approach in the survey, we have looked at their results and we have suggested ways to lower the costs without getting a poorer result. We started by comparing MKB’s package of measures with the results we got from our analysis in SPSS Statistics and finished
Purpose The purpose is to increase the IKEA knowledge regarding production of custom made worktops at two German suppliers, providing an action plan for the suppliers of how to increase product quality as well as calculating the potential cost savings and the product cost structure. Methodology The project is performed as two case studies, where both qualitative and quantitative data has been obta
The study investigated how a case study through method triangulation can contribute to anuanced and detailed understanding of what challenges and strategies can be experienced in the development of group dynamics in a virtual team. With a theoretical basis in Tuckman phases of group development, Systems centered theory and An integrated model of group development, the team's attachment to the
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of how MaaS business models can be designed and configured. Theoretical Perspective: The theoretical perspective is provided by a preliminary framework which consists of a synthesis between Business model theory and MaaS literature. Methodology: A qualitative single case study was employed with an abductive research approach. E
The important role of fire in regulating vegetation community composition and contributions to emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols make it a critical component of dynamic global vegetation models and Earth system models. Over two decades of development, a wide variety of model structures and mechanisms have been designed and incorporated into global fire models, which have been linked to di

With more than 260 000 islands, Sweden is one of the countries with most islands in the world. Its islands are located along the coasts and in the larger lakes. For the municipalities and regions where they are located, the islands are places for recreation and symbols in tourism marketing. A rough overview over the impact of the pandemic on rural and remote areas indicates that Swedish tourism in
How can we talk about musico-dramatic methods and models for operatic acting, and how do these relate to other kinds of acting? Observing the tendency of operatic professionals and peda-gogues to import concepts and ideals from theatrical and cinematic practices with non-operatic application of music, we reflect upon what possibilities and problems this discursive choice in-stils. Interestingly, w
This chapter explores how the two contemporary political parties, the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People’s Party, use the Vikings and the Viking Age as symbols in their national mythmaking. It examines the political dimensions of public history and the way in which these parties draw historical parallels between the Viking Age and the present in order to call for action. The relationship betwe
Two of the key functions of arteries in the brain are (1) the well-recognized supply of blood via the vascular lumen and (2) the emerging role for the arterial walls as routes for the elimination of interstitial fluid (ISF) and soluble metabolites, such as amyloid beta (Aβ), from the brain and retina. As the brain and retina possess no conventional lymphatic vessels, fluid drainage toward peripher
Background Frequent hemodialysis provided more than three times per week may lower mortality and improve health-related quality of life. Yet, the evidence is inconclusive. We evaluated the benefits and harms of frequent hemodialysis in people with kidney failure compared with standard hemodialysis. Methods We performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials including adults on hemodia
BACKGROUND: Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in children with Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) has for many years been used on clinical indications, but the research evidence for its efficacy is insufficient.METHODS: Open-label prospective in-depth trial including ten children (median age 10.3 years) with PANS, who received IVIG treatment 2 g/kg monthly for t
roduction of biomass for bioenergy on marginal land has been promoted to decrease the use of non-renewable energy without competing with food production. Previous estimates of marginal land and abandoned farmland in Sweden available for bioenergy production are based on general statistics and assumptions but lack in-depth analyses of potential alternative land-use values. Easily accessible public
The aim of the present European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations on the acute management of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). These guidelines were prepared following the Standard Operational Procedure of the ESO and according to the GRADE methodology. Although BAO accounts for only 1%–2% of all strokes, it has very poor natural outcome.
Diverse forest landscapes contribute to reaching various forest policy goals. Understanding how the diversity of forests in a landscape is distributed among forest properties and how it is related to biogeographical and ownership factors can be helpful for effective policy implementation. We created a forest characteristics-based typology of non-industrial private forest properties aiming to captu
BACKGROUND Reusing anaesthesia infusion-set components may reduce the climate impact from plastic waste and discarded medications. Infusion-set contents can be shielded from patient contact by single use of an infusion line fitted with dual antireflux valves, preventing retrograde entry of microorganisms, and eliminating the risk for patient-to-patient cross-contamination. However, infusion-set co
Dimethyl ether (DME) is promising as an additive for co-firing with ammonia (NH3) to solve the problem of its low reactivity combustion. However, the combustion modeling of blended fuels is challenging, and previous efforts primarily relied on the adjustment of rate constants for key reactions to bridge the gap between experiments and simulations. In the present work, ab initio kinetic studies wer
This chapter is concerned with Turkish heritage speakers (HSs) in Germany, here exemplified by 21 early bilinguals during adulthood who live in Hamburg, North Germany. We introduce the population, report their self-perceived proficiency and propose the Turkish Use Score (TUS) that is based on quantitative aspects of language use (e.g., the number of people Turkish is spoken with) and qualitative o
