The so-called ‘Resource curse’ has manifested in several resource rich countries in the African continent. When Ghana found oil in 2007, the finding was consequently accompanied by high hopes of economic growth and increased social welfare (blessing), but also fear that they oil would increase corruption and political patronage (curse). The resource curse literature identifies extensive checks and
The Church has been a dominant actor in the history of care and social support, but it met several restrictions during the 20th Century. The Church of Sweden now has,since the separation from the state A.D. 2000, the possibility to act as a "welfare entrepreneur". But the willingness to do so seems limited. Even if innovative examples are seen the parishes hesitate for organisational and ideologic

The green transition in the EU has sharpened the conflict between national interests and the rights of the indigenous people of northern Europe, thereby highlighting the historical and colonial oppression of indigenous peoples. In the Nordic countries, Sápmi risks being exploited in the pursuit of climate strategic purposes, which entails risks for Sami culture and identity. Throughout the years,
This Report presents an evaluation method for fire and rescue service management. It focuses on success criteria and lays the groundwork for answering the question What is good management? In this report fire and rescue service management is defined as complex and the fire and rescue service as a complex system. This complicates evaluation, which now has to include complexity.

In the past few decades, the travel habits of the world’s population has changed drastically. Our trips are getting more frequent, and our expectations are getting higher. Also the reason for travelling has changed; with globalization and technology it has been very common to travel far and often in work and a large amount of people tend to spend a lot of their time underway. This has resulted in
Popular Abstract in English Globalization and new technologies in transportation and communication have opened the doors for partnerships beyond the national and regional borders, making business survival more complex than ever before. We can see more companies outsourcing different aspects of their business in order to focus on one or a few core competencies, which would potentially gain them morIn this dissertation, we discuss how buyers practice purchasing strategies in an asymmetric power situation favoring suppliers, and how their purchasing strategies practiced impact their purchasing power and buyer-supplier relationships. Organizations enter exchange relationships to access required resources not produced internally, and are exposed to uncertainty from not being able to fully contr
Digitalization is shaping the discipline and practice of marketing. Not only does digitalization shape how we shop and consume everything from music to food and mobility services (Cochoy, Hagberg, McIntyre, & Sörum, 2017; Fuentes, Hagberg, & Kjellberg, 2019; Guyader, 2018; Schneider & Eli, 2022), but it has also fundamentally transformed the practices of marketing. Digitalization has c
In the 1980s much effort was made to get an, until then, unknown Viking Age silver hoard into the University Museum of Lund for registration. It was a large hoard consisting of over 900 coins, jewelry and hacksilver. We succeeded to have the hoard on display a few days in 1986.Thereafter the hoard was collected again by the finders and its further destiny was unknown. This was very much to regret

The sharing economy is currently widely discussed and politically of great importance, especially in urban areas. After a first rise in public interest due to a potential decrease of consumption, engaged actors are now calling for regulation mechanisms to defend the concept against the co-option by large incumbent firms, who transform the original idea into new economic opportunities. The accommod
The labor market, and therefore employment conditions, has changed in recent decades. Today, flexibilisation has led to a large number of employees who work part-time or lack permanent employment. An involuntary part-time worker refers to an individual who is working part-time and states that they want to work more hours than what the employer offers. As long as the employer complies with the prov
We consider the following combinatorial two-player game: On the random tree arising from a branching process, each round one player (Breaker) deletes an edge and by that removes the descendant and all its progeny, while the other (Maker) fixates an edge to permanently secure it from deletion. Breaker has won once the tree's root is contained in a finite component, otherwise Maker wins by building
