This thesis explores the characteristics and sustainability strategies of Danish companies with certified climate targets and the distinction with net-zero targets. The probability of having a net-zero target is modelled with three explanatory variables – life cycle assessments (LCAs), disruptive innovation, and carbon offsetting. The study is based on survey data gathered from thirty-four sustain

Problem description: At Scania in Oskarshamn, there is a phenomenon referred to as external picking. External picking is in the context of this report defined as the process where stock-keeping units, not intended for the main production lines, are picked at one of Scania’s Oskarshamn facilities. These items are intended for various organizations within Scania, but also external business partners.

Because of the versatility of technological influence and the rapid development of digitalization, interactive social media, such as Tik Tok and Douyin, have brought more consumption possibilities to the market. These social media are merging to innovate some new consumption behaviors by using interactive content to save costs and give users more value. Tik Tok and Douyin also satisfy user-centric

The ‘killer acquisition’ -phenomenon has been a subject of heated discussion for past several years. It usually describes as a situation where the target company, commonly a start-up, is acquired by an incumbent and its innovation products are discontinued. This leads to a loss of both competition and innovation, causing a harm to consumer welfare. Their prevalence is still mostly unknown, but res

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine whether ten stock-trading strategies based on common technical indicators can prove to generate higher risk-adjusted returns than buy-and-hold strategies for the same stocks. Method: To examine this, trading for the ten strategies is simulated for 213 Swedish stocks, through the years 2006 to 2018. The risk-adjusted returns are calculated as sh

Semiconductors composed of group III and group V elements have a variety of promising applications, such as topological insulators and quantum computers. Among this category of semiconductors, bismuth (Bi)-containing III-V compounds are able to make these applications possible. However, the difficulty was found to alloy Bi atoms into the host lattice. To solve the problem of material fabrication,

There is widespread consensus that teamwork constitutes one of the key requirements in today’s multidisciplinary and highly complex system of delivering care. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to questions of how to define, teach, measure, and improve teamwork in healthcare. However, one cannot help but feel a certain disconnect between this ongoing trend, with an associated bia

Purpose We aim to investigate how professionals make sense of the culture in the context of PSFs and how they engage in organizational and professional identification. Methodology The researchers look into the sensemaking processes professionals attach to organizational culture from a symbolic interactionism tradition, while from a critical perspective challenging the mainstream assumptions about

Triple Helix theory is to analyze the function and interactions of academia, industry and government in regional innovation systems. The cases of Silicon Valley, Boston, Cambridge and Scania in Sweden all provide empirical studies for understanding the effects of the triple helix model in improvement of absorption ability and industrial clusters. But some scholars also argue that the Triple Helix

Loss functions are a crucial part of image processing when using modern neural networks, trained with stochastic gradient descent. There exist multiple loss functions today, some claiming to be perceptual. Researchers at NVIDIA recently published a proposal of such a metric called FLIP. This led to our work on this thesis where we present a comparison between multiple loss functions, both establis

The electric vehicles are increasing in popularity year by year. However, the market demand for such technology is still moderate and most traditional actors within the automotive industry are having a hard time adapting to this new stage. What poses threats to the survival of some actors can simultaneously become a great opportunity for the emergence of new major players. This paper looked at the

This thesis investigates the evolving role of safety professionals in the context of Industry 4.0, aiming to delineate the requisite skills and knowledge for effective practice in the year 2036. Through a comprehensive literature review and two rounds of Delphi method analysis, the study explores the transformative impact of technological advancements on the safety profession and the broader impli

Introduction: Para sport has during the last decades increased and one of the largest sports during the Paralympic Winter Games is Para Alpine Skiing. Injuries are common among both Alpine skiers with and without disability and to be able to develop preventive measures there is a need to further understand the epidemiology behind injuries in Para Alpine Skiing. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis

Much of contemporary organisational life is enacted in meetings. Yet, our understanding of meetings and coworkers’ role in them remains limited and influenced by the dominant functionalist and linear perspectives on communication. Such an approach is, however, problematic as it obscures the constitutive role of coworker’s voicing in meetings and how it produces and reproduces work teams, organisat

This thesis examines the impact of shareholder activism on the annual stock returns of targeted companies. Utilizing a dataset of activist campaigns from the FactSet SharkWatch 50 database, covering the period from 2005 to 2021, we investigate whether the presence of activist investors leads to enhanced stock performance. Our empirical analysis, employing an event study design, reveals a significa
