Trots vårt moderna samhälle med ett materiellt överflöd och till synes vägar för alla att vara delaktiga, bidra och få hjälp finns fortfarande grupper i samhället som behöver stöd. Dessa grupper inkluderar bland annat personer med olika former av funktionsnedsättningar, som inte utan hjälp kan vara en aktiv del i samhället, eller i en del fall inte ens ta hand om sig själva. Dessa grupper behöver
During the 20th century, the world saw humans suffering in many countries around the world. These sufferings ended in genocide and massacres during the 1990s. One way that was identified to end atrocity crimes was humanitarian interventions. A commission, The International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS), was appointed in 2001 to investigate the concept. They presented a n

Devices connected to an Internet-based network, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming more common both privately in the household or on businesses. Everything from the lighting to coffee makers and washing machines, to the cars in the garage and the door locks can now be equipped with sensors and connected via the Internet to an application by users. Combitech has developed an Intern
Modern software systems often utilize a distributed architecture, which uses the network as the communication channel. This results in the system being dependent on the network performance to behave as expected. The network performance varies, and network faults can occur, which may negatively affect the system. As a system maintainer, it is difficult to know if the problem lies in the service or
Det råder en hög konkurrens inom reseindustrin, både mellan resebyråer men också genom den bokning som sker på internet, det blir därmed avgörande att skapa konkurrensfördelar genom kundrelationer. Frontpersonal måste alltid leverera god service samtidigt som det ständigt efterfrågas ett högre tempo och ökad försäljning. Då forskning visar att dessa två komponenter inte går att kombinera då den en
This study investigated the impact of a national palliative care policy introduced in 2013. The hypothesis was that end‑of‑life and palliative care policy shape healthcare services, which in turn influence service utilisation and ultimately place of death for people dying from cancer. The aim was to identify longitudinal trends in place of death for people with cancer in Sweden. A population‑level
I en allt mer krympande värld, måste organisationer lära sig att snabbt reagera på marknadsförändringar. Medan organisationer blir bättre på att införa nya affärsprocesser, kvarstår problemet med en tungrodd och svårföränderlig IT–miljö. Det hela görs inte bättre av att organisationer blir mer och mer beroende av sin IT–infrastruktur. Det hela blir en paradox, då det som organisationerna är mest b
Chemical Management Services (CMS), an application of Product Service Systems (PSS) in the chemical sector, attempts to optimise chemical consumption patterns. CMS works by changing the fundamental relationship between chemical suppliers and chemical customers and providing incentives to both to reduce the quantity of chemicals used. CMS is gaining increasing popularity as a tool for cost savings
The frequent replacement of office furniture contributes to the increasing production of solid waste that leads to the use of more landfill space. Germany only produces approximately 700000 t of office furniture waste per year whereas most of this waste goes to landfill or incin-eration (Nolte, 2001). In addition, there are concerns about the use of hazardous chemicals in office furniture producti
Att hantera mångfald kan definieras på olika sätt. En betydelse orden kan ha är bland annat att förstå att det finns olikheter bland anställda och att dessa olikheter kan, om de är rätt hanterade, fungera som en tillgång till att arbeta mer effektivt och ändamålsenligt. De flesta forskare inom mångfald anser att mångfald är till fördel, men det finns även andra forskare som ser problemet som mångf
Purpose – The purpose behind our study was to understand how individuals socially construct followership in a management consultancy. We did this through exploring the relations between consultants and their selected leaders, as well as through exploring how they related to the notion of followership. Literature review – We selected theory that was relevant with respect to our research question a
Risk and return go hand in hand, and one way for a firm to mitigate existing and potential investors' risk in a stock is to employ a financial service; liquidity providing. The value of liquidity provision has become relevant as market uncertainties and shocks in the market create disturbances. In addition, the market environment has changed with regulation and the increase of high-frequency t
As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions, many companies found themselves in the reality that they had to conduct their business operations from home. The pandemic has heightened the need for Professional Service Firms (PSFs) to shrink, pivot, re-invent themselves, as well as redeploy organisational culture and resources dramatically, abruptly, and possibly disrupti
Purpose: The aim of this thesis is to explore the transition towards a hybrid work model and the implications it may have on the use and adaptation of management control within PSFs. The purpose is further to highlight the reasons behind the adaptations of MCS. Methodology: A qualitative single case study of a professional service firm, with empirical data collected through semi-structured interv
