Art. 6(1) EKMR garanterar var och en vars civila rättigheter eller skyldigheter blir föremål för prövning eller som blir anklagad för brott en rätt till en rättvis rättegång inför en oavhängig och opartisk domstol. Vid administrativa förfaranden, såsom konkurrensrättsliga, har Europadomstolen ställt krav på att i de fall en administrativ myndighet inte uppfyller kraven i art. 6(1) EKMR ålägger förFor some time there has been loud criticism to whether the institutional structure and procedures for the enforcement of EU Competition Law is compatible with the right to a fair trial.

Den rådande marknaden har nått en punkt där teknisk innovation och tekniska egenskaper har blivit mindre viktiga konkurrensmedel, varför TechCo har insett vikten av tidig brukarinvolvering i innovationsprocessen. För att kunna dra fördel av brukarinvolvering så krävs det emellertid ett innovativt klimat och en effektiv FFE-process. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur pass förbereddAs the topical engineering industry has reached a point where technical innovation and technical features have become less important as means of competition, TechCo has realized the importance of user involvement in their early stages of development. However, in order to absorb this new input flow, certain prerequisites are needed namely an innovative climate and a proficient FFE. The purpose of t

Co-branding är ett fenomen som förekommer alltmer inom flera olika branscher. Tidigare forskning inom detta fält har påvisat dess synergieffekter men har denna form av samarbete ingen mörk baksida? Vi har problematiserat co-branding som fenomen genom att undersöka tre grundläggande faktorer för ett koncept. Dessa är grundtanken för koncept, kommunikation och målgrupp vilka sammanlänkas genom en rö

Människor följer ofta en liknande process när de söker sig till professionell vård. Upplevelser av vilka skäl de har för att söka rent faktiskt och vägen fram till att de tar beslutet att söka behövs det dock ytterligare forskning om.
