Thinking up new ideas and solutions might be hard; replacing old ones even more so. Ecological Modernization theory has helped significantly with the former, and now transition scholars are trying to resolve the latter. There is no longer a shortage of ideas on how to tackle issues of sustainability; however, these ideas are often translate into radical technologies that are incompatible with exis

Title: Discussing the motivation of knowledge workers to engage in employee driven innovation – the influence of trust in organisational processes Date of the seminar: June 3rd 2014 Course: Master Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and degree project (Master thesis 15 ECTS) Authors: Sam Hobbs & Julien Véron Supervisor: Håkan Lagerquist Keywords: Motivation, trust, employ

Background: An Enterprise Resource Planning, ERP, system is an important part of a company and can create competitive advantages. Hence, the reasons for implementing an ERP system are several. However, the comprehensive nature of ERP systems results in complex implementation projects. Problem: A large proportion of ERP implementations fail. Several different Critical Success Factors, CSFs, for ER

Problem: Parallel trade occurs when a product is released on one market, and an importer purchases the product in question on a lower priced market, and subsequently imports the product to a higher priced market, and sells it there. Parallel trade of pharmaceuticals in the European Union is prevalent since the legal, business and political environment makes the trade relatively easy and legal. Thi

Since the birth of the industrial revolution, there has existed a fear of becoming redundant and unemployed due to technological development. However, this has not been the case, but the last decades have instead seen the surge of income inequality. This has been linked to the growing technology bias towards skilled workers. This paper studies if the interactive effect of technological development

The Alps are undergoing constant landscape changes due to modern socio economic changes. Especially grassland ecosystems of alpine meadows and pastures are threatened by the slow abandonment of the alpine transhumance traditions. This influences not only biodiversity but also the important cultural landscape seen as a valuable heritage in the Alps. The landscape in the North Italian alpine provinc

In the previous decades, mm-Wave frequency bands have largely been ignored for cellular communication because of the high free space attenuation as well as the cost and complexity of mm-Wave RF circuits. However, with the improvement of RF and antenna technologies over the last decade, it has become feasible to con- sider mm-Wave bands for cellular communications. With the large bandwidths availab

The essential cell-division gene ftsZ is transcribed in Escherichia coli from at least six promoters found within the coding regions of the upstream ddIB, ftsQ, and ftsA genes. The contribution of each one to the final yield of ftsZ transcription has been estimated using transcriptional lacZ fusions. The most proximal promoter, ftsZ2p, contributes less than 5% of the total transcription from the r

Studies on mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) emphasize that patients with progression of disease (POD) ≤24 months have inferior prognosis compared to patients with later POD. This population-based study assessed the impact of POD on overall survival (OS) by timing of progression and first-line treatment. A total of 1186 MCL patients diagnosed 2006–2018 were identified in the Swedish lymphoma register. PO

This paper deals with the presence of Sámi in central and southern Sweden in the seventeenth century. The Nordic countries have generally been believed to be ethnically homogeneous, with the** colonial subjects not being present in the center of these empires. If the multicultural aspects of early modern Nordic countries are at all discussed, Sámi and other ethnic groups are understood as peoples

Historically being a success to the European Union and its integration processes, technical standardisation has been a dormant policy area low down on the European Commission’s agenda priority list – until now. The increasing international competition has arguably spurred the Commission to push for speedy developments in standardisation to establish the EU once again in a leading position, thus ef

Although extensively advertised as a positive practice that enhances students’ intercultural competencies, internship programs have been increasingly criticised for reinforcing simplistic understandings of global development. Often involving students from the Global North engaging in placements with development organisations and institutions in the Global South, these programs perpetuate dynamics

The purpose of this study is to examine how innovation project managers enact boundary work to facilitate knowledge sharing and development in multi-actor cross-sectoral collaboration projects. A specific focus is thereby dedicated to the investigation of micro- processes of managerial boundary work happening within the project space. The theoretical ground for our research is provided by literatu

The following study examines the dependence between asset returns and inflation in the Swedish and American markets to further determine which assets could be the best contenders to invest in, in times when inflation is high. The assets included in this study are equity and nominal bonds used respectively for each market and a global commodity index. The method used is OLS regression analysis with

Rushed efforts for a decarbonisation of the energy sector in Catalonia, Spain have been received with local opposition towards renewable energy projects. It has also raised a debate around the new energy model and whether it will perpetuate the lack of agency of civil society in the energy sector as well as the vulnerable situation some people are currently facing. This thesis examines whether ren

Denna uppsats analyserar de rättsliga kriterier som avgör huruvida ett företag anses ha ett fast etableringsställe (FE) i mervärdesskatterättslig mening enligt EU-rätten, med särskilt fokus på bestämmelserna om beskattningsland vid tillhandahållande av tjänster. Begreppet FE är inte fullt ut definierat i mervärdesskattedirektivet, men har preciserats genom artikel 11 i tillämpningsförordningen och
