Full textAbstract:
I takt med att den offentliga välfärden fått snävare ekonomiska ramar har de idéburna organisationerna fått en större roll inom socialt arbete. Utvecklingen har skett på såväl europeisk som nationell nivå och uppmärksammats av både EU och den svenska regeringen. Från EU: s sida har olika åtgärder tagits för att stärka den sociala ekonomin ställning. Den svenska regeringen har också tagit flera steg i samma riktning. Under 2008 har regeringen träffat en överenskommelse med de idéburna föreningarna som är verksamma inom socialt arbete och Sveriges Kommuner och Landsting.Eftersom samverkan kring socialt arbete sker på det lokala planet, har studiens syfte varit att försöka identifiera olika faktorer som bidrar till eller hindrar utvecklingen av den. Ett annat syfte har varit att se hur samverkan påverkas av extern projektfinansiering. För att få en bild av hur samverkan mellan kommunen och den sociala ekonomin har utvecklats harrepresentanter för Malmö Stad och den sociala ekonomin intervjuats. Empirisk data har sedan analyserats utifrån ett interorganisatoriskt perspektiv. Likaså har den analyserats mot koopteringsteorin. Avslutningsvis har ett egenmaktsperspektiv lagts på insamlad data. Det finns tecken på att utbytesrelationerna mellan aktörerna fortfarande är otydliga och attmaktförhållandet mellan dem har jämnats ut över tiden. Några spår av kooptering fanns inte i förhållandet mellan kommunen och den sociala ekonomin. Däremot har samverkan stärkt brukarnas egenmakt. Likaså visar undersökningen att den externa delfinansieringen tvingar aktörerna att anpassa sina samverkansprojekt efter finansiärernas mål.

Abstract Title: Coaching Leadership - A win-win situation? Level: Final assignment for Master Degree in Business Administration Author: Helena Gustafsson Supervisor: Pär Vilhelmson Date: 2012 – mars Aim: The purpose of this study is to examine how companies use the coaching leadership and how the employees perceive to have a manager who uses this way to lead. Method: The study was conducted as a qualitative study in which interviews was an important feature. The information I gathered is the basis for analysis and final discussion. The material has been collected through personal interviews with two managers and then I send questions to the employees by e-mail that they responded. This is to get such an interesting empirical data as possible. With this qualitative approach, I got a deeper understanding of how managers and employees perceive it to work with the so-called Coaching leadership. Result & Conclusions: Coaching leadership is theorized to be motivating for employees than the traditional because it is based on a person in charge should have the role of helping the employees to strengthen and develop the staff. In order that the employees increase the performance of companies. This is consistent with respondents´ views in relation to the coaching style of leadership advantages. The study has shown that both companies are well aware that that communication and information are key ingredients to get their employees involved so they feel involved in what goes on in the company. Employees will be more motivated to take responsibility and solve any problem that may arise. In this way, believe the two respondents in the leading position that the results are better for business. Respondents use a coaching style of leadership which is consistent with the theory. Coaching leadership is here to stay. Suggestions for future research: This study has shown that there is reasoning among managers and scientist around the firms improves the results using the Coaching Leadership. This is something that I think we should continue research on and produce measurable results on whether it really is so that companies using a coaching style of leadership among their managers can get better results. The two companies that I have examined so both managers are convinced of the improved results, but they can not reveal any figures on this, which I think would be interesting to see. Contribution of the thesis: The studies contribution is to clarify how the company can have the help of the coaching leadership when they work with their staff. The study shows that with a coaching style of leadership the companies get their employees more involved, solution-oriented and that they take grater responsibility for their work. There are also those who believe that it improves the results for companies as the use of coaching Key words: Coaching, leader, manager, coaching leadership, coach, traditional leadership<br>Sammanfattning Titel: Det coachande ledarskapet - En win-win situation? Nivå: Magisteruppsats i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Helena Gustafsson Handledare: Pär Vilhelmson Datum: 2012– mars Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur företag använder sig av det coachande ledarskapet och hur medarbetarna upplever det att ha en chef som använder sig av detta sätt att leda. Metod: Studien har genomförts som en kvalitativ studie, där intervjuer är ett viktigt inslag. Den information jag samlat in ligger som grund för analys och slutdiskussion. Materialet har samlats in genom personliga intervjuer med två chefer sedan har frågor skickats till medarbetare via mejl som de besvarat. Detta för att få en så intressant empiri som möjligt. Med den kvalitativa metoden fick jag en djupare förståelse för hur chefer och medarbetare uppfattar det att arbeta med det så kallade coachande ledarskapet. Resultat & slutsats: Det coachande ledarskapet anses i teorin vara mer motiverande för medarbetarna än det traditionella eftersom det bygger på att man som chef ska ha en hjälparroll som ska stärka och utveckla medarbetarna. På det sättet ökar de prestationen inom företagen. Detta stämmer väl överens med respondenternas åsikter när det gäller det coachande ledarskapets fördelar. I studien har det visat sig att båda företagen är väl medvetna om att kommunikation och information är viktiga ingredienser för att få sina medarbetare engagerade så de känner delaktighet i det som sker i företaget. Medarbetarna blir de mer motiverade, tar ansvar och löser de problem som kan uppstå. På detta sätt tror de två respondenterna i ledande ställning att resultaten blir bättre för företagen. Respondenterna använder sig av ett coachande ledarskap och som stämmer väl överens med det som står i teorin. Det coachande ledarskapet har kommit för att stanna. Förslag till vidare forskning: Denna studie har visat att det finns ett resonemang bland chefer och forskare att företagen förbättrar resultaten med hjälp av det coachande ledarskapet. Detta är något som jag anser att man bör forska vidare kring och ta fram mätbara resultat på om det verkligen är så att företagen med hjälp av ett coachande ledarskap bland sina chefer kan få bättre resultat. I de två företagen som jag granskat så är båda cheferna övertygade om att man förbättrat resultaten men de kan inte visa upp några siffror på detta, vilket jag tycker vore intressant att ta del av. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studiens bidrag är att tydliggöra hur man inom företag kan ha hjälp av det coachande ledarskapet då man arbetar med sin personal. Studien visar att med ett coachande ledarskap får företagen sina medarbetare mer delaktiga, lösningsinriktade samt att de tar ett större ansvar för sitt arbete. Det finns även de som anser att man förbättrar resultaten för företagen då man använder sig av coaching. Nyckelord: Coaching, ledare, chef, coachande ledarskap, coach, traditionellt ledarskap

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Socialt företagande utmärks av entreprenörens förmåga att identifiera samhällsproblem och tillmötesgå de sociala behoven i samhället. Det finns olika definitioner av socialt entreprenörskap, och dessa antyder att de styrande drivkrafterna skiljer sig ifrån de i traditionellt entreprenörskap. De motivationsfaktorer som den sociala entreprenören har skulle kunna återspeglas i hur verksamheten bedrivs och hur organisationens grundtankar förmedlas ut i företaget. Vidare skulle detta kunna ha en påverkan i strävan efter företagets uppsatta mål, vare sig deär socialt, miljömässigt eller ekonomiskt motiverade. Problemformulering: Vad finns det för drivkrafter hos en social entreprenör samt hur genomsyras det i företaget?Syfte:Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom fallstudie skapa ökad förståelse för den sociala entreprenören samt hur den motivation som finns visar sig iverksamheten. Metod: För uppsatsen har en kvalitativ ansats valts,och baseras på en fallstudie av ett företag vars verksamhet utgår ifrån socialt entreprenörskap. Data har samlats in via ett abduktivt tillvägagångssätt, genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer, observationer och teoretisk insamling. Slutsats: Uppsatsen påvisar de drivkrafter som finns hos den sociala entreprenören. Exempelvis att det primära målet är att uppnå en positiv social-och miljömässig påverkan i samhället, snarare än att generera en ekonomisk vinst. Andra drivkrafter är samtidigt att motivera och utbilda personalen inom medvetenhet om hållbarhet, säkerhet och kvalitet.

The transport sector is one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. A current solution to this problem is the introduction of electric vehicles into our transport fleets. However, this solution comes with its challenges; for instance, the environmental impact of batteries once they reach their end-of-life. The circular economy is an approach to manage ecological electromobility issues while providing economic and societal wellbeing. A starting point for the implementation of a circular economy can be found in the implementation of circular business models. Because the circular economy requires its actors to think in systems, the collaboration between multiple stakeholders is essential. However, most circular business model frameworks are focusing on the focal firm, which is not sufficient to encourage cross-collaboration between organizations. Therefore, this study outlines the development of a new framework that focuses on a multi-stakeholder perspective. I propose the “framework for multi-stakeholder circular business model innovation” to explore win-win-win scenarios for the management of 2LB. I conducted a study in collaboration with Svealandstrafiken, Mälarenergi and Västerås Stad. The organizations were involved in data collection via a series of interviews and the validation of the framework through a workshop. The proposed framework consists of a process of four phases subdivided into eight steps that meant to address key challenges organizations are facing to achieve circularity. Within these four phases, the framework encourages discussions on shared values and visions between all stakeholders at an early stage. As a consequence, better collaborations and relationships are formed, which positively benefits the development of circular business models.

<p>It is becoming increasingly difficult, although very important, for companies to reach out to its customers and differentiate themselves in the market place. The main reason is that the competition is extremely intensified and customers can quite easily switch between suppliers. Focusing on relations is a way for companies to overcome some obstacles of competition that is evident in today’s market place. One way for companies to reach its customers, strengthen the relation, and meet them face-to-face is to create events. How-ever, finding the target group and motivating individuals to attend events is an important issue for the companies arranging events. There has to be a match between what the company arranging the event want to communicate and what the invited individual expects to gain out of attending the event. It is further important to direct the event towards certain individuals and also to make sure that the invited people actually attend the event.</p><p>The purpose of the thesis is to explore how companies can arrange meaningful events to a targeted audience and examine what factors motivates the individuals to actually attend these events.</p><p>An inductive approach is mainly used since it allows for flexible structure where empirical data is collected and before applying appropriate theoretical framework. The authors have further chose to collect data in a qualitative manner as this allows for open ended inter-views which can generate in deeper understanding of the reasons for individuals to attend corporate events. The primary data was based on interviews related to four corporate events previously taking place.</p><p>The authors found that there are numerous reasons for creating corporate events mainly because events are a platform that naturally integrates many marketing activities. When targeting individuals a personal contact can increase the likelihood that the invited people will attend an event. The reason is that through direct communication a person has the opportunity to tailor the invitation by explaining the reasons for why this particular person should find the event important and interesting to attend. Corporate events should offer valuable information for the attendees otherwise there is risk that invited individuals will not attend an event. Individuals attend events for the purpose of interacting with representatives from the arranging company as well as people from other attending companies. It can be concluded that a corporate event should be work related in some how and include new information and/or offer networking possibilities.</p><br><p>Det blir allt svårare, men ständigt mer viktigt, för företag att nå ut till sina kunder och differentiera sig på marknaden. Den främsta anledningen är att konkurrensen är mycket intensiv och det är förhållandevis enkelt för kunder att byta leverantörer. Genom att fokusera på relationer kan företag övervinna några av de konkurrenshinder som är påtagliga på dagsläget. Genom skapande av events kan företag nå sina kunder, möta dem öga mot öga och där-med stärka relationen till dem. För att lyckas med detta är det viktigt för företag att hitta de tilltänkta målgrupperna och motivera individer till att bli intresserade och faktiskt besöka eventet. Det är viktigt att anpassa ett företags motiv för skapandet av ett event men det som de inbjudna individerna förväntar sig få ut av att besöka eventet. Det är vidare viktigt att ett event riktas mot de tilltänkta individerna och för ett företag att se till att de inbjudna verkligen besöker eventet.</p><p>Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur företag kan arrangera meningsfulla events för en tilltänkt målgrupp och ta reda på vilka faktorer som motiverar individer att faktiskt besöka dessa events.</p><p>Ett induktivt tillvägagångssätt används till största delen i uppsatsen eftersom det är tillåter en flexibel struktur där författarna utgår från empirisk data för att sedan hitta lämplig teori. Författarna har även valt att använda kvalitativ data eftersom det möjliggör öppna intervjuer som kan ge djupare inblick i hur företagsevent kan skapa mervärde för ett företag och dess besökare och förståelse för de inbjudnas motivationsfaktorer. Primär data baserades på intervjuer med individer relaterade till fyra olika företagsevent som tidigare ägt rum.</p><p>Studien visar att företag har många olika skäl till att arrangera events och den främsta orsaken till detta är att events är ett forum som integrerar flera marknadsföringsaktiviteter på ett naturligt och ofrånkomligt sätt. När ett företag marknadsför ett event till en tilltänkt målgrupp kan personlig direktkontakt öka sannolikheten att de inbjudna kommer att besöka eventet. Anledningen till detta är att direktkommunikation ger ett företag möjligheten att skräddarsy inbjudan genom att förklara varför just denna individ bör besöka eventet och varför det bör vara viktigt för denne. Ett företagsevent bör erbjuda besökande individer värdefull information, i annat fall riskerar företaget att många individer inte kommer priori-tera just detta event. Individer besöker företagsevent i syftet att integrera med representan-ter från det arrangerande företaget och individer från andra besökande företag. Studien visar att företagsevent bör vara arbetsrelaterade i dess utformning och erbjuda intressant in-formation och/eller erbjuda integrationsmöjligheter.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The call for business practices that create benefits for companies, customers, and society is getting louder. This article analyzes a new implementation of such a win–win–win approach: the carrotmob. Activists and managers jointly organize a shopping flashmob in which consumers collectively purchase the products of a target company to reward its intent to act more socially responsible. Given that carrotmobs are only efficient if they are supported by a critical mass of consumers, a survey study of 337 young consumers explores the critical drivers of carrotmob participation. Accordingly, object-oriented, personal, and social motives jointly determine carrotmob participation with social motives having the strongest impact.

Vi möts allt oftare av ett ökat intresse för hälsa och en förväntan att leva sunt och hälsosamt. Detta för att vi ska hålla oss friska, orka mer och prestera bättre. I motsats till detta ökar ohälsotalen. Fler och fler blir sjukskrivna samtidigt som sjuknärvaron på arbetsplatser sägs öka. Ett intresse för detta motsatsförhållande var ursprunget till min studie. Den organisation jag undersökt har ett uttalat hälsofrämjande perspektiv, med ett salutogent fokus. Det salutogena perspektivet kopplas ofta ihop med känsla av sammanhang – KASAM. En stark känsla av KASAM kopplas ihop med bättre egen-upplevd hälsa. Deltagarna i min undersökning har gått en kurs i hälsofrämjande livsstilsfaktorer anordnad av arbetsgivaren. Syftet med undersökningen var att undersöka deltagarnas känsla av sammanhang och deras upplevelse av lärande samt om kursen haft någon påverkan på deras KASAM. Studien hade en kvalitativ ansats och jag har genomfört intervjuer med sex av sju deltagare från kursen. Som komplement till intervjuerna har deltagarna även besvarat ett KASAM-livsfrågeformulär. Resultatet från intervjuerna kopplades till de i KASAM ingående begreppen begriplighet, hanterbarhet och meningsfullhet, samt till lärande. Resultatet visade att deltagarna överlag hade relativt höga värden på KASAM-livsfrågeformuläret, med ett undantag. Det motsvarade den uppfattning jag fick under intervjuerna. Analysen kopplar ihop resultatet med tidigare forskning och teori och visar att det hälsofrämjande arbetet lönar sig. Undersökningen visade att deltagarnas KASAM har stärkts av kursen. Undersökningen visade också att återkopplingen av deltagarnas förändrade kunskap tillbaka till arbetsplatsen var liten. Ytterligare forskning om hur ökad kompetens kring hälsofrämjande faktorer på chefsnivå har effekt för medarbetare och verksamhet är önskvärt.

Abstract Title: PR consultants and bloggers; a win-win situation? - <img src="file:///page3image16320" /> A study of PR consultants’ new adaptations in the labour market due to the emergence of fashion bloggers. Authors: Cecilia Girell, Sandra Kjellström Tutor: Ylva Ekström Purpose: With the expansion of the Internet, fashion bloggers have gotten more power. A few companies have understood this powerful and reasonable cheap marketing channel. Despite this, most companies still feel powerless, but what has happened to the work of PR consultants in this constant changing media environment? The ones whos purpose is to act as intermediaries between companies and various media channels. That is our purpose for this essay; to look at PR consultants new adaptations in their extern marketing communication in phase with the ever- growing blogosphere. Method: In this study a qualitative method in terms of personal interviews has been used in the collection of data. Four interviews have been held; whereas two with PR consultants working with fashion, and two with fashion bloggers. These interviews together with literature and theories regarding our topic have later on been used as the base for our results and analysis. Main results: Overall, PR consultants have gotten a more stressful environment since the entrance of the bloggers. More and different strategies must nowadays be planned, since the bloggers work differently compared to traditional media. They offer a more personal connection towards their readers, which also have made it easier for the PR consultant to reach their target groups faster. Both bloggers and PR-consultants have nowadays become dependent on each other, and the factors leading up to this can be explained through technological, economic and cultural perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Brand managers are always trying to find ways to increase brand profitability and creating a stronger competitive advantage. Part of the marketing activities implemented by brand managers is geared towards building brand equity. Managers have now recognized the importance of the customer in creating brand equity and therefore implement co-creation as a way of creating value together with the customer. Co-creation allows for the firm to bring the customer closer. Two dimensions of brand equity which are brand loyalty and brand experience were chosen for this study. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explain the effects of perceived co-creation benefits on brand loyalty and brand experience (CBBE). Methodology: To meet the purpose, the study proposes an explanatory design with a quantitative approach. After reviewing relevant literature, three benefits were found important for the customers and in connection to the purpose of a researched model based on six hypotheses was developed. The empirical data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire which was distributed online with a total of 119 responses which were recorded and passed the qualification question whether they follow a brand on social media. Findings: The authors found evidence that perceived co-creation benefits have an effect on CBBE. It was found that particularly hedonic benefits have a significant effect on brand loyalty. Another finding was that social integrative benefits also has an effect on brand experience.

<p>In this thesis, trade with waste between developed countries and the third world will be presented to analyze whether waste‐trading can create a possible win-win situation. To carry on this question problem, three theories have been considered to explain why and how developing countries can be affected by international waste-trade. A few case-studies regarding waste-trade in developing countries such as, India, China and Vietnam, will show the situation of waste-trade today. These theories and case-studies will set the foundation for analysis and conclusion. To sum up, trade with waste is a complex problem that can affect the importing country in both positive and negative ways. If the negative externality that is caused by handling waste is controlled with a tax or regulation, trade with waste can be a win-win situation for the trading countries.</p>

The importance of the use of renewable energy sources is obviously. But what the problem confused us, is that renewable energy unlike the fossil fuel have such high energy density which means the renewable generally was dispersed form. In other words, in order to obtain amount of the energy we need, require to exploitation a wider cover area. Therefore, scientists and companies are struggling to find high densely renewable energy as possible, which is high altitude wind energy, have very promising but not developed so much by humans. High altitude wind power is indicating the altitude between 3000 meters and 10000 meters. So far, high altitude wind power is a new renewable energy that basically not development or utilization yet, but which is an abundant reserves. High altitude wind power is a widely distributed renewable clean energy. The characterized of high-altitude wind energy is fast speed, wide distribution, high stability and perennial. Utilize high-altitude wind power can get high stability with low cost of wind power generation, which is one of the notable features for high-altitude wind power, but also is one of the most significant advantages for high-altitude wind energy compared to conventional wind energy. High altitude wind power generation equipment is more compact and flexible, far superior then the traditional fan, which equip with thick blades and the tower must be fixed in the depths of the ocean or in the ground.To development renewable power in a large scale, to face the global climate change, achieve the sustainable development become the inevitable for human development. How to solve the energy shortage problem has become an important question, harness high altitude wind power was becomes the focus of multinational technology.

Full textAbstract:
Energy is part of everyday life and renewable energy technologies are increasingly becoming part of our lived environments. Social scientists are responding to renewable energy technologies by investigating what people think about wind turbines (Aitken, 2010; Pasqualetti, 2011a, 2011b) and the distribution of community benefits (Cowell et al, 2011; Bristow et al 2012). This thesis adds to this body of research by describing Udny's renewable energy project and its capacity to effect change. More specifically, I examine what this community-owned wind turbine does with other situational elements to transform life within the community. Using the cartographic methods developed by Adele E. Clarke (2005), I map out the situation by drawing out the elements – this includes objects, people, organisations and discursive practices – and tracing their relations. Thinking sociologically about situational elements and their relational effects provokes a move towards ecological sociology and re-imagines social life as the effect of interconnected entities, such as materials and meanings, thoughts and actions, people and objects (Morton, 2007, 2010). Mapping the interconnectedness of societal ecologies depicts social life as neither distinct from the natural world (Catton and Dunlap, 1978, 1980) nor symmetrical with natures (Callon, 1986; Akrich and Latour, 1992; Asdal, 2008) but, rather, as part of relationally emergent ecologies. Udny's community renewable energy project illustrates the relational emergence of a social ecology, as the turbine and trust work with existing and emergent entities to enact change (Barad, 2007; Harman, 2009; Bennett, 2010; Morton, 2010, 2016). It is by doing things together that situational elements transform life within Udny (Clarke, 2005; Yusoff, 2013).

Full textAbstract:
The biggest environmental challenge that has to be addressed is climate change. From an environmental perspective, the use of renewable energy and wind power deployment are a positive choice to curb it and also are promoted by many governments. General public usually expresses a positive attitude towards wind power, but sometimes local population reject wind power projects. In this project, interviews to key figures in the wind power sector were conducted to assess human perception and attitudes in Spain. For Sweden, data was obtained through a literature revision. The other parts of this project, which are wind energy status, history and future directions, legislation, and projects’ planning and permitting; were also analyzed and compared for both countries through a literature search. There is a great level of acceptance of wind power projects in both countries. Some impacts from wind power on humans are found: noise and shadows are the major impacts in Sweden, and visual impact in Spain. Several improvements to the approaches taken by these two countries have been proposed with the aim of promoting a further development of wind power. Governmental incentives to the deployment of wind power and other renewable energy sources must be re-adopted in Spain, where procedures should be standardized and public participation promoted. In Sweden, changes either in the energy sources used to produce energy or in the system should be included. More efforts have to be done to protect the environment, so wind power development should be a major asset to achieve these objectives.

Over the last couple of decades, there has been increased interest in environmentally friendly technologies. One of the renewable energy sources that has experienced huge growth over the years is wind power with the introduction of new wind farms all over the world, and advances in wind power technology that have made this source more efficient. This recognition, together with an increased drive towards ensuring the sustainability of wind energy systems, has led many to forecast the drivers for future performance. This study aims to identify the most sustainable wind turbine design option for future grid electricity within the context of sustainable development. As such, a methodology for sustainability assessment of different wind turbine design options has been developed taking into account environmental, data uncertainty propagation and economic aspects. The environmental impacts have been estimated using life cycle assessment, data uncertainty has been quantified using a hybrid DQI-statistical method, and the economic assessment considered payback times. The methodology has been applied to a 1.5 MW wind turbine for an assessment of the current situation and potential technology improvement opportunities. The results of this research show that overall, the design option with the single-stage/permanent magnet generator is the most sustainable. More specifically, the baseline turbine performs best in terms of embodied carbon and embodied energy savings. On the other hand, the design option with the single-stage/permanent magnet generator performs best in terms of wind farm life cycle environmental impacts and payback time compared to the baseline turbine. With respect to the design options with increased tower height, it is estimated that both designs are the least preferred options given their payback times. Therefore, the choice of the most sustainable design option depends crucially on the importance placed on different sustainability indicators which should be acknowledged in decision making and policy.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis seeks to understand and explain, through an examination of the linguistic, historical and social background to their relationship, the evolution in contemporary Spanish non-Gypsy (Payo) perceptions of and attitudes to the Gypsy (Gitano) minority in late twentieth-century Spain. After analysing the historical background to the objectifying production and reproduction of Gitano identity in Payo descriptions of the Gitano community, the thesis researches the functioning of Gitano support organisations. It then studies the relevance of theories of race and racism to the debate about the Gitano-Payo relationship. The next section of the thesis focuses on the press reporting of two 1990s cases in Madrid of attempts to rehouse Gitano families, the first at Villaverde (1991), the latter at Valdemingomez (1994-2000), drawing on primary and other sources to build up a picture of how the view from the outside was constructed. By pulling together all these allied historical and contemporary social threads, the thesis tests the proposition that Payo attitudes to and perceptions of Gitanos are in a period of positive transition.

Full textAbstract:
Previous research has suggested that the country of origin cue is important to consumers during their purchase decision making process; the cue is utilised as an indicator of product quality and thus has an effect on purchase decisions. However, country of origin research has been heavily criticised in terms of methodology and has tended to focus on durable, manufactured products such as automobiles, electronics and apparel. This research investigates whether consumers do utilise the country of origin cue during actual wine purchase decisions and whether consumer perceptions of wine will vary based upon the country from which it originates. In addition, this study also seeks to identify all of the product attributes which are utilised by wine purchasers, and the degree to which these attributes are important to them during the purchase decision process. Finally, the research seeks to understand the influence that individual consumer characteristics (i.e. demographic variables, product knowledge and product involvement) and usage situations will have upon attribute utilisation and importance. In order to examine these broad research questions, a structured survey was developed and administered to respondents in four countries immediately following an actual wine purchase. Analysis of the collected survey data revealed that consumers typically utilised only a small number of attributes during their purchase decisions, and that the attributes which were most frequently utilised were not necessarily the most important to wine consumers. The country of origin cue was the eighth most frequently utilised attribute and the fourth in terms of importance. The majority of consumers could accurately identify the country of origin of the wine they had just purchased and their perceptions of wines were found to vary based upon the country of origin. Individual consumer characteristics were found to have varying effects upon attribute utilisation and importance ratings. Three-quarters of all wine purchases were made to resolve just four usage situations, and these situations were found to moderate the origin of the wine that the consumer selected during their purchase decision. From a theoretical standpoint, this study supports the idea that consumers utilise only a small number of attributes during their decision making process, and that this number will increase as product knowledge and product involvement levels increase. The most important attributes for consumers were found to be intrinsic in nature. Country of origin theory has also been advanced by this study; consumers were found to hold stereotyped perceptions of wine based upon its national origin, and both the nationality and education level of the consumer were found to moderate the utilisation of the country of origin cue. Whilst earlier researchers had suggested that any home country bias may be product specific, this study suggests that it may actually be a product dimension specific phenomenon. The high reliability of the product involvement and subjective knowledge scales should also be of value to future consumer behaviour researchers. Similarly, the idea that the usage situation influenced which product was purchased, but not how it was selected, expands current knowledge. Practical implications arising from this study include the identification of the importance of having previously tried a wine; marketers could increase sales through the provision of wine tasting opportunities for consumers. The significant correlation between involvement and the frequency of wine consumption also provides wine producers with an opportunity to increase sales through initiatives which will increase consumer involvement with wine. The results indicate that the wine industry should focus on the production and marketing of wines which are suitable for consumption in the identified four dominant usage situations and should seek to increase consumption in dining situations in the US. Finally, promotional strategies linking New Zealand wines with high quality appear to have been successful, but these messages will need to be repeated in order to reinforce the positive consumer perceptions.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines Bitzer's model of the rhetorical situation by using it, in combination with elements of Bormann's fantasy theme analysis to perform a criticism of radical right rhetoric. First, it identifies the exigencies that give rise to the sovereignty rhetoric employed by members of the radical right. This analysis then determines whether the speech meets the needs of its intended audience. To accomplish this task, two websites are analyzed: the Posse Comitatus/Christian Identity website and that of the Republic of Texas, a secessionist, common law/sovereign citizen's site. These websites claim to be the official websites of the two organizations. The analysis is a generative analysis, combining Bitzer's model of rhetorical situation with aspects of Bormann's fantasy theme analysis. Through performing the analysis, weaknesses and areas for improvement in Bitzer's model will be identified.Sovereignty and common law rhetoric comes in many variations, but all revolve around a central principle - that there are two classes of citizenship. United States citizenship is conferred by the Fourteenth Amendment and is accepted by participation in programs such as social security (Nagle, 1996). This form of citizenship is subject to extensive regulation and taxation. However, sovereignty rhetoric focuses on state citizenship. This type of citizenship is conferred by common law and can be recaptured by rejecting U.S. citizenship. Advocates of sovereignty argue that state citizens are not subject to most federal laws and cannot be taxed by the federal government.Why study common law/sovereign citizen rhetoric? There is broad crosspollination among extremist groups, and sovereignty rhetoric is a consistent theme for many of these groups (Shapiro, 1995). For example, individuals convicted of abortion bombings have had militia ties, and tax protestors attend preparedness expos' (Tharp & Holstein, 1997). Likewise, events such as the death of Randy Weaver's wife in the 1992 Ruby Ridge standoff, and the 1993 Branch Davidian fire are cited by extremists of numerous ideologies as evidence of a government conspiracy (Dyer, 1997).2 Furthermore, for every camouflage-clothed militia member, there are several amateur attorneys studying old law books, the Constitution and each other's websites in an effort to unravel the meaning of the "true" Constitution (Abanes, 1996).The Posse Comitatus and Republic of Texas websites are useful artifacts because they are clear examples of the types of rhetoric addressed in this study. The present incarnation of the Posse Comitatus merges Posse Comitatus and Christian Identity rhetoric, allowing exploration of the common law rhetoric of both groups through one website. While claiming not to be a militia website, the Republic ofI Preparedness expos offer survivalist training and equipment, firearms, ammunition and common law materials (Tharp & Holstein).Extremists are particularly fascinated by the date April 19, a date on which events ranging from the Revolutionary War to the Branch Davidian fire took place (Stern). In some circles, this date is called Militia Day and has assumed almost religious significance.Texas maintains at least three separate militias and features extensive discussions of common law and sovereign citizen rhetoric.To understand these groups, it is necessary to understand the exigencies that brought them into existence. Bitzer's model of rhetorical situation, with its focus on exigencies, is an excellent tool for understanding the social and economic factors contributing to the growth of these types of groups. However, Bitzer offers only limited insight into how the messages are spread and why people accept them. Bormann's fantasy theme method of analysis helps answer the questions of how the sovereignty/common law message satisfies the rhetorical and psychological needs of the group members.<br>Department of Communication Studies

Full textAbstract:
I och med friskolereformen i början på 1990-talet har förutsättningarna för skolor förändrats och konkurrensen hårdnat. Marknadsföring av skolor har blivit allt vanligare och vilket anseende skolan har är avgörande. Tidigare forskning har visat att nöjda anställda leder till att kunder blir tillfredställda och lojala, de som tar hand om sina anställda och agerar på deras idéer visar ett bättre resultat. Därför kan intern marknadsföring ses som ett verktyg för att hantera denna konkurrens. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån ledningens perspektiv få förståelse för och beskriva vilka faktorer inom skolbranschen som påverkar den interna kommunikationen och vilka förutsättningar dessa faktorer ger för intern marknadsföring. Studien har intagit ett Grounded Theory-inspirerat tillvägagångsätt och tillämpar intervjuer för att svara på syftet. Fem informanter i ledande befattningar på lika många grundskolor i Stockholm har medverkat. Undersökningen har kommit fram till att faktorer som organsationens storlek och ålder har betydelse för hur den interna marknadsföringen fungerar, men också uppdragsgivarens och ledarens förhållningssätt gentemot sin personal är av vikt. Det finns goda ansatser för intern marknadsföring inom skolan, men ett medvetet arbete måste ske på alla organisatoriska nivåer och ett genuint kundfokus måste finnas genomgående, först då kan den interna marknadsföringen fungera som ett verktyg att hantera den förändrade konkurrensen.<br>With the reformation of the Swedish schoolsystem in the early 1990s, which allowed for private actors to operate schools, the conditions for schools have changed and competition has increased. Marketing of schools has become increasingly common and the reputation of schools has become crucial. Previous research has shown that employee satisfaction leads to satisfied and loyal customers, companys who take care of their employees and act on their ideas show better results. Therefore, internal marketing is seen as a tool to manage the changed conditions for competition. The purpose of this paper is to obtain understanding and describing from management's perspective the factors within the school sector that affect the internal communication and what conditions these factors provide for internal marketing. The study has adopted a Grounded Theory-inspired approach and applies interviews to answer the purpose. Five informants in senior positions in elementary schools in Stockholm participated. The investigation has concluded that factors as organizational size and age have a bearing on how the internal marketing work out, but also governement´s and principal´s attitudes towards staff is important. There are good possibilities for the internal marketing in elementary schools, but a deliberate work has to be done at all organizational levels and a keen customer focus must be held, only then can the internal marketing work as a tool to deal with the changing competition.

The thesis concerns of the possibility by using alternative decentralized sources of energy. The first chapter describes current energy situation in the Czech Republic and consideration of future electrical energy consumption and the coverage by the renewable sources. Another part of this chapter describes each types of renewable energy with their advantages and disadvantages related to the Czech Republic. In the second chapter are introduced inputs which are appropriate for the plan of energetic system. The following theoretical chapter deals with each types of alternative energy sources using renewable source including the possibility of the installation and plan for the building. These alternative sources are sorted out by the way of using renewable sources of energy. The theoretical-practical fourth chapter concerns of the heating by the heat pump. For the detailed description was chosen the heat pump which is currently denote as appropriate alternative source of heat in household. With appropriate plan, which the thesis deals with, is this alternative source considered as proper investment. In the last chapter was assembled programme for creating models of energetic flux and calculation for the plan of heating by the heating pump air/water. This model is taken for concrete buildings related to exact outdoor temperature from previous years in concrete locality. In the end was realized validation of the software with the real measurement in concrete building.

1. Period of immaturity,the experience accumulation fromzero:
An opportunity to be a volunteer storyteller came up when Grandpa A-Sung picked up his granddaughter to kindergarten. At first, he wasn’t a good storyteller and he felt very frustrated, he just told the stories word by word. In order to express the essence of the stories, he began to take part in many relative activities and learn how to present a story well.
2. Period of developing, the self-improvement stage:
After becomingmore famous, Grandpa A-Sung not only tell story in many activities, but also shared the storyteller experience to other elders for adjusting their retiring life better.These became the spirit for his continuous motivation.
3. Period of maturity, future planning and practical action:
Grandpa A-Sung was pleased and appreciated that children like to listen his storytelling. He performed thousands storytelling during these seven years but he doesn’t satisfy with it. In the future, he will continuous bring his propsand using story and music to weave dreams for children.

Abstract:
With advance of science and technology, the development of aerospace technology progress fast. Flapping-wing is a popular and innovative topic. Based on Darwin''s theory of evolution; we can have a general interpretation of each biological behavior patterns are the results of optimization. So it is important to combines aerodynamics and Bionics. Many researchers put effort into study the unsteady aerodynamics and flapping flight but study in flapping-wing Affected by atmospheric environment is much less. Our research team has studied the impact of weather factors for a long time and extensive lots experience in the analysis of different climatic conditions. In this thesis, we will discuss effect of flapping wings for aerodynamics in different gust. Here we use the dynamic grid mechanism of commercial software ANSYS / FLUNET to simulate flapping-wings, edit UDF in C++ and combine Solver to analysis aerodynamic performance under gust. First, we finish the validation of 2-D elliptic flapping wing section with Wang, J. We build 3D model butterfly which species is Morpho peleides Butler by PRO-E. From the morphological data of Morpho peleides is measured by Dudley. We generate mesh by Gambit and ANSYS and use dynamic mesh mechanism of ANSYS / FLUNET to simulate the butterfly forward flight. According to Liang and Yang, we create two type of the gust function with single and multiple frequencies. We analysis the butterfly under different gust and different directions and find lift coefficient is sensitive for the gust from top and bottom. The mean value of lift coefficient can be increased more than tenfold compared with the case without wind effects. And since the assumptions we make, our results may occur tolerance in quantitative values but it is worth referencing in Qualitative physical interpretation. If possible, consider the pitching oscillation of body and the flapping-wing with flexible in the future will improve accuracy of the results.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>工業管理系<br>105<br>The aircraft engine maintenance industry is one of the affiliated industries of the air transport industry, and is established owing to the strict requirements of flight safety. Although the maintenance procedures are rigorously regulated by the maintenance manual, although the quality of a repair needs to meet the requirements of maintenance manual before final assembly and testing, and although it is very difficult to obtain required airworthiness maintenance certification, companies in this industry still make continuous investments in manpower and capital to provide new maintenance services to maximize its economic effects because the size of the market is about 250 billion US dollars. However, when all companies achieve similar level of maintenance skills, the competition will mainly focus on price, customer service, and punctual delivery time.
The case in this study explores how a subsidiary company of United Technologies Group used lean production management skills to help the company to strengthen the organization’s capabilities to cope with the challenges of the shrinkage of the demand of maintenance of the old models, the increase of the maintenance demand of new engines, and the requirement of timely delivery. In particular, the technique of value stream mapping was used to help identify the key wastes and weaknesses in the production line, and a 100 percent on-time delivery rate was achieved to create a win-win situation. The management analysis tools provided in this case can be applied to similar management dilemmas in different industries. This case can also help the readers understand the processes of implementing lean production management tools.

Full textAbstract:
On every supermarket shelf, wines compete for consumers’ attention, which is decisive in
consumers’ final choice. This investigation aims at clarifying the impact that wines’ labels
have on individuals’ attention and how that can determine purchase intention.
Simultaneously, it is evaluated the impact and the role that quality perceptions and desire
have on inducting purchase behaviors. Besides, it is investigated the role of wine awards and
the consumption situation as moderators of such relationships.
Thirty-nine individuals participated in an experiment based on a 2 x 2 design (awarded/not
awarded x self-consumption/social-consumption). For each scenario individuals’ attention,
perceptions of quality, desire and purchase intentions were recorded.
Data from eye-tracking shows that, the amount of attention given to a bottle is determinant of
individuals’ purchase intentions, a relationship that increases in significance for bottles with
awards and for when consumers are buying wine for a consumption situation involving a
social environment. Also, both quality perceptions and desire were confirmed to positively
influence wines’ purchase intentions.
It was verified that attention moderates the relationship between quality perception and
purchase intention in the case of awarded wines.
Nevertheless, for self-consumption situations, desire is more determinant for purchase
intentions, while for social consumption situations quality perception is more significant, due
to the increased weight that individuals give to quality when buying for those situations.
By using an eye monitoring method, this thesis brings fresh and new insights to the wine
industry by highlighting the impact that wines’ labels and different consumption situations
have on individuals’ attention and purchase intention.<br>Em qualquer prateleira de supermercado, diferentes garrafas de vinho competem pela atenção

esclarecer o impacto que os rótulos dos vinhos têm na atenção dos indivíduos e como esta, a
perceção de qualidade e o desejo podem determinar a intenção de compra. Simultaneamente,
é avaliado o papel que os prémios e as situações de consumo têm como moderadores de tais
relações.
Trinta e nove indivíduos participaram numa experiência, baseada num desenho 2 x 2
(premiado/não premiado x consumo-próprio/consumo social). Para cada cenário, a atenção,
perceção de qualidade, desejo e intenção de compra foram registados.
Os dados recolhidos através de eye-tracking evidenciam que a atenção dada a uma garrafa é
determinante na intenção de compra do indivíduo, a qual aumenta no caso de garrafas com
prémios e quando os consumidores compram para uma situação de consumo social.
Verificou-se ainda que a perceção de qualidade e o desejo influenciam a intenção de compra
de vinho e que a relação entre esta e a perceção de qualidade é moderada pela no caso de
vinhos premiados.
Para situações de consumo próprio, o desejo é mais provável de determinar a intenção de
compra, enquanto que para situações de consumo sociais a perceção de qualidade é mais
importante.
Através do uso de um método de monitoramento ocular, esta dissertação traz novos
conhecimentos à indústria do vinho, colocando em evidência o impacto que a presença de

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>世新大學<br>性別研究所<br>99<br>Qualitative ethnographic research approach was adopted in this thesis. Recognizing that sex-work is a kind of labor , I investigated the labor process and implications in a Karaoke restaurant and teahouses of Wan-Hua, so as to identify the power relations that were embedded in the process and the skills and expertise needed in the so called “hostess- type” sex work. I also explored the owners’ influences on the hostesses’ labor process through in-depth interview and participatory observation.
A heterogeneous picture was found within the “hostess-type sex industry”. As the owners distinguish their business-orientation from each other, different teahouses demonstrated different style and degree of eroticization, reflected in their space and material conditions. The bulk of customers, mainly working class, also have different ways of chasing fun, behaving either like brothers, old friends or lovers of the hostesses. Their complex relationship goes far beyond the traditional imagination of sex work as “male domination over female”.
On the other hand, reflecting the customer-centered principle of modern service business, hostess-type sex workers have to develop a series of professional skills that utilize aesthetic labor, sex labor and emotional labor flexibly in the labor process, such as singing, drinking and having fun. As there is no fixed script in the hostess-type sex work, the more professional skills a tea-house hostess learned, the more diversified customers she will satisfy. In this way, she will establish a reputation of providing good services and creating wonderful experience and excellent feeling for customers, and hence increase her personal capital or income.

Full textAbstract:
Die seit März 2020, mit strengen Schutzmaßnahmen in Form von Kontaktreduzierungen und Einschränkungen im öffentlichen Leben, in Deutschland einhergehende Covid-19-Pandemie löste bei vielen Menschen individuell ausgeprägte Sorgen und Ängste innerhalb diversen Lebensbereichen aus. Ein, den Kriegszeiten ähnlicher, Zustand trat ein und nach Worten der Politikvertreter/innen ging es um Leben oder Tod, Arbeitsplatzsicherheit oder Arbeitsplatzlosigkeit sowie Geborgenheit oder Isolation.
Gegenwärtige Schlagzeilen wie „Die Corona-Krise führt immer häufiger zu psychischen Problemen (Haas, C., Kunz, A. 2020: www.welt.de)“, „Eine Herausforderung für Menschen mit Depression (Moghimi, J. 2020: www.rnd.de)“ oder „Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen leiden am meisten (Pingel, S. 2020: www.msn.com)“ lassen auf eine starke Betroffenheit von psychisch erkrankten Menschen im Kontext der COVID-19-Pandemie schließen.
Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die individuelle Betroffenheit von depressiv erkrankten Menschen zu untersuchen. Findet die Annahme, einer steigenden Tendenz psychischer Belastungen, fortwährend Bestätigung, ist eine unmittelbare Reaktion professionellen Handelns durch die Soziale Arbeit notwendig, um mögliche soziale Folgen aufzufangen und gleichzeitig präventiv für Betroffene Unterstützung anzubieten.
Insbesondere Menschen mit einer Depression sind, aufgrund von (Vor-)Erfahrungen hinsichtlich ihres Krankheitsbildes, Experten im Umgang mit Isolationserlebnissen. Gelten sie demnach als Meister der Isolation im Umgang mit der Covid-19-Pandemie?:Inhaltsverzeichnis

碩士<br>正修科技大學<br>電機工程研究所<br>106<br>Everyone can tell the weather nowadays is very unstable and often turns
into extremely severe conditions. As a result, it often causes a lot of damage to
our agriculture and loss. Especially when there is a typhoon slashing our island,
not only does it make our life inconvenient, but also evaporates our farmers’
efforts in a short time so prices rise instantly. All of which have a significant
impact to our life.
In order to reduce the impacts, some related units and private enterprises
are trying to find out the solutions for it. The government is also trying to
promote the vegetable greenhouses for the reduction on the impact. However,
its so pity that the promotion isn’t still being carried out practically.
On the other side, the government also spares no efforts to promot the
solar electric energy, so under all conditions we may integrate Photovoltaic
Systems with Vegetables greenhouses to find out the best method to create a
win-win situation for government, farmers and photovoltaic dealers.
