Ledarskap är något som sker i alla organisationer, men alla individer har inte samma förutsättningar att klättra karriärmässigt. Studien har avgränsats till kvinnliga chefer som lyckats ta sig förbi glastaket i olika organisationer. Hur kommer det sig att just dessa kvinnor lyckats klättra så högt hierarkimässigt, medan andra kvinnor stoppas av glastaket? Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur k

Marknadsundersökningar används som bevismedel, både i marknadsrättsliga och i varumärkesrättsliga tvister. I denna uppsats behandlas marknadsundersökningar inom marknadsföringsrätten i mål som rör vilseledande efterbildningar enligt 14 § MFL. En vilseledande efterbildning innebär att en näringsidkare i sin marknadsföring använder efterbildningar som är vilseledande genom att de lätt kan förväxlas Market surveys are used as evidence both in cases relating to marketing law and trademark law. This essay will discuss market surveys used as evidence within marketing law, and specifically in cases concerning misleading imitations according to 14 § MFL (The Swedish Marketing Act). A misleading imitation means that a trader in its marketing uses imitations that are misleading, as they can easily b

Ett av aktiebolagets mest karaktäristiska drag är att aktieägarna inte svarar personligen för bolagets förpliktelser. För att balansera avsaknaden av personligt betalningsansvar innehåller ABL, vid sidan av den lagstadgade revisionen, ett antal specialbestämmelser som föreskriver att vissa åtgärder skall granskas av en kvalificerad revisor. I samband med denna granskning skall revisorn upprätta säOne of the most characteristic features of a limited liability company (Sw: aktiebolag) is that shareholders are not personally liable for the company’s obligations. In order to balance the lack of personal liability, the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslag) contains, alongside the statutory audit, a number of special regulations, which require a qualified auditor to review some specific cir

Den konventionella varumärkesforskningen ger en alltför förenklad syn av konsumentens betydelse för ett varumärke. Uppsatsen förespråkar en sociokulturell aspekt där fokus ligger på hur konsumenten skapar mening på en makro-, mikro- och individnivå. Det är konsumenten, inte marknadsföraren, som skapar identitetsvärde och det är människor i konsumentens omgivning som påverkar kundens uppfattningar The conventional brand research provides an overly simplistic view of the consumer's significance to the brand. The paper advocates a socio-cultural aspect where the focus is on how the consumers create meaning on a macro, micro and individual level. It is the consumer and not the marketer, which will create identity; there are people in the consumer’s environment that affect their perceptions
