Abstract:

<p>Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand are very important to economic growth and considerably essential to generate employment as in many other developing countries. SMEs account for 99.5% of the overall enterprises in Thailand while their contribution to the overall employment account for around 76% of all jobs. However, SMEs growth rate is still at a low level. Hence, this is qualitative study of the external and internal factors hampering the growth of SMEs in Thailand.

In a research from 2017, Perkins et al. state that a deeper understanding of organizational vision guiding idea generation is needed. The question that needs to be answered is, if an organizational vision impacts capabilities for ideation. Such a statement by Perkins et al. challenges Duggan’s (2013) view about idea generation. Duggan views idea generation as a creative process which should not be restricted by goals, strategy, or vision. This dilemma combined with the need for further investigation of ideation within SMEs led to the following research question: “How does organizational vision

Abstract:

There has been a great deal written about the difficulties faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) compared to larger businesses. SMEs face difficulties complying with environmental legislation, particularly because of the amount of complex law. This can result in the ‘environment’ being treated as less of a priority even though SMEs collectively have a significant environmental impact. Over the past few years, the UK has been focused towards achieving ‘better regulation’. In particular, Hampton highlighted the need for more strategic thinking when it comes to developing regulation.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att identifiera vilka möjligheter för SMEs att få intäkter med sina produktioner via internet. Syftet var även att undersöka vad SMEs tänker kring hur man kan använda olika intäktsmodeller. För att undersöka detta använde vi oss av en kartläggning av intäktsmodeller och gruppintervju. Kartläggningen baserades på tidigare forskning och användes för att få en överblick på vilka intäktsmodeller som används av företag idag. Gruppintervjun användes för att låta företag diskutera med varandra hur olika intäktsmodeller kan användas, och hur de tycker om användning av alte

Abstract:

This licentiate thesis consist of two essays. Both essays deal with corporate finance and its impact on innovation investment. In the first essay we use German Community Innovation Survey to identify financially constrained firms. Contrary to previous studies we find that the relationship between financial constraints and firm size is inverted u-shaped and that it is the group of medium sized firms which has the largest funding gaps. This is explained by the fact that these firms have high innovation capabilities but at the same time face high cost of capital. Furthermore, we test if financia

Den industriella revolutionen kom med behovet av att bygga byggnader och broar, till en början förstod man inte vikten av armering och förstärkning av konstruktion. Men med tiden behövde man komma på någon strategi att göra konstruktionen starkare och mer hållbar, och det var då man började använda sig av förstärkning. I dagens moderna samhälle är det vanligare att bygga med betong, betong är det viktigaste byggmaterialet i världen. Det har flera egenskaper som garanterar en lång livslängd för konstruktionen; dess hållbarhet och styvhet är av störst intresse för att designa betongkonstruktione
