This paper is an auto-ethnography of Cihan Keskinʼs experiences as an immigrant entrepreneur in Sweden. Paper talks about possible problems an immigrant entrepreneur faces during venture creation phase in Sweden and gives solutions and examples based on personal experiences. Paper uses other research and scientific data to show the common problems immigrant entrepreneurs face. Solutions to these p
The thesis is based on a qualitative multiple case study with an abductive approach. It examines the relationship between brand placement and gender roles in films between the 1980s and 2010s, with the main purpose to contribute to the gender and marketing literature on how the portrayal of male and female characters in films has developed, changed and been translated through brand placement withi
This paper uses an autoethnographic approach to analyze the work of an entrepreneur on a the new venture, AirOhMail, in regards to intellectual property and product protection. By comparing AirOhMail with the failed start-up, SurPrise - both companies attempting to commercialize the same product - this paper demonstrates how a low-level innovation product can better achieve success in the start-up
Abstract Purpose: This paper is written as a personal evaluation of the entrepreneurial journey starting a new venture based on a new product and concept. Design/methodology/approach: This is a paper designed on to analyze the past experiences of developing a product and searching for a reference customer to start a knowledge based company, using the authors personal experiences with a self-ethnog
Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att studera relationerna mellan sparbanksstiftelsens styrelse, bankstyrelse samt bankledning i stiftelseägda bankaktiebolag med hjälp av Principal-agentteorin samt Stewardshipteorin. Den metod som har används är abduktiv ansats och kvalitativ metod. Uppsatsens teoretiska perspektiv grundar sig i tidigare kända teorier inom corporate governance; Principal-agentteorin,
This paper presents the first empirical study on Chinese firms’ disclosure of macroeconomic risks. We study the impact of mandatory IFRS adoption in 2007 on listed Chinese firms’ disclosure of macroeconomic risks. 45 out of 100 firms improved their quality of disclosure in their 2010 annual report compared to 2005 (or 2006).We also find that that firms which employ Big 4 audit firms, belong to fin
Syfte: Uppsatsen har till syfte att undersöka hur styrelsearbetet har sett ut i nystartade innovationsföretag. Då det utförts relativt få undersökningar inom detta område, hoppas vi även kunna lägga grund för framtida forskning. Metod: Kvalitativ data har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. En iterativ ansats har valts. Teoretiska perspektiv: Utifrån befintliga teorier för bolagsstyrnin
Relationsmarknadsföring är ett betydelsefullt verktyg i dagens hårda konkurrens. Att skapa relationer har blivit viktigare då det finns fler aktörer att konkurrera med på marknaderna. Vad som är viktigt att ta hänsyn till är att relationsbyggande är ett pågående och kontinuerligt arbete som kräver tid och ansträngningar. Relationsbyggande måste finnas med i arbetsplaneringen och i budgeten för bäs
Studien syftar till är att undersöka hur ett relativt nyetablerat varumärke kan kommunicera ut ett budskap på en redan befintlig marknad. Vi har i studien använt oss av kvalitativa metoder, enkäter, individuell intervju och djupintervjuer för att samla in empiriskt material.För att undersöka detta använde vi Paulúns som fallföretag och kom fram till att det fanns en del områden som Paulúns skullle
The accuracy of auxiliary basis sets derived by Cholesky decompositions of the electron repulsion integrals is assessed in a series of benchmarks on total ground state energies and dipole moments of a large test set of molecules. The test set includes molecules composed of atoms from the first three rows of the periodic table as well as transition metals. The accuracy of the auxiliary basis sets a
Based on articles published 1990-2004 in 21 LIS journals, a set of co-citation analyses were performed to study changes in research fronts over the last 15 years, where LIS is at now; and to discuss where it is heading. To study research fronts, here defined as current and influential co-cited papers, a citations among documents methodology was applied; and to study changes, the analyses were time
A new method is presented for monitoring the conformational stability of various parts of a protein that is physically adsorbed onto nanometer-sized silica particles. The method employs hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange of amide hydrogens, a process that is extremely sensitive to structural features of proteins. The resulting mass increase is analyzed with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance
Achieving high quality standards and 100% defect-free deliverables is becoming a trend among manufacturers of household appliances. In that respect, thorough and reliable end-tests represent an important step towards this goal. This paper deals with the design of end-test procedures for vacuum cleaner motors based on sound analysis. It is well known that sound carries important information about t
The dynamical formation of black hole binaries in globular clusters that merge due to gravitational waves occurs more frequently in higher stellar density. Meanwhile, the probability to form intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) also increases with the density. To explore the impact of the formation and growth of IMBHs on the population of stellar mass black hole binaries from globular clusters, w
Background: Papillary thyroid cancer is treated with total/near-total thyroidectomy (TT) with or without central lymph node dissection (CLND), depending on risk factors and tumour size. Balancing the risk of disease recurrence and surgical morbidity remains a challenge. A population-based nationwide study was undertaken to evaluate the risk of permanent hypoparathyroidism associated with CLND. Met
EUTelescope is a modular, comprehensive software framework for the reconstruction of particle trajectories recorded with beam telescopes. Its modularity allows for a flexible usage of processors each fulfilling separate tasks of the reconstruction chain such as clustering, alignment and track fitting. The framework facilitates the usage of any position sensitive device for both the beam telescope
The neuronal soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex is essential for synaptic vesicle exocytosis, but its study has been limited by the neonatal lethality of murine SNARE knockouts. Here, we describe a viable mouse line carrying a mutation in the b-isoform of neuronal SNARE synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) The causative I67T missens
The relationship between leukocyte migration and parenchymal cell death in vivo remains poorly documented. Accordingly, cell killing in the rat mesentery, as recorded by propidium iodide staining, was investigated with an intravital approach. Superfusion of platelet-activating factor (PAF, 10(-8) M) or N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP, 10(-8) M) led to extensive leukocyte extravasatio
