Syfte: Denna uppsats ämnar att studera hur förtroende skapas i affärsrelationer mellan venturekapitalister och entreprenörer. Detta leder oss till att undersöka följande förtroendeskapande faktorer; målkongruens och delade värderingar, kontrakt, tidsperspektiv, avsaknad av konflikter och kommunikation. Metod: Vi har gjort en flerfallstudie med kvalitativ ansats och induktiv metod där semistruktPurpose: This paper aims to study how trust is created in the business relationship between venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. This leads us to examine the following trust-building elements; goal-congruence and shared values, contracts, time perspective, lack of conflicst and communication. Methodology: We have made a multi-case study with a qualitative approach and inductive method where se

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur kapitalstrukturen sett ut i 32 stora byggbolag i Sverige mellan åren 2005 - 2014. Studien har som grund en kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats där empiri används som grund, observeras och sedan skapas vetenskap kring den. Studiens resultat blev att skuldsättningen hade minskat under krisåren 2008-2009. Den regressionsanalys som genomfördes pekade ä

The implementation step of environmental policies has often been disregarded by researchers, who mainly focused on the policy-making process. Yet, implementation is crucial for the success of a policy. We looked at the influence of domestic factors in the implementation process to explain how countries members of the European Union that have similar administrative capacities yet obtain different i

Det är inte ovanligt att parterna i en nationell tvist kommer från olika länder. När en tvist mellan parter med olika internationell anknytning initieras uppkommer ibland frågor om vilket lands domstol som är behörig att pröva tvisten och vilket lands lag som ska gälla för tvisten. En något mer undanskymd fråga inom det internationella rättssamfundet, men som likväl kan ge upphov till jurisdiktionIt is not uncommon for parties to a domestic dispute to come from different countries. When a dispute between parties with different international connections is initiated, questions sometimes arise as to which country’s court has jurisdiction to hear the dispute and which country’s law should apply to the dispute. A somewhat more obscure issue within the international legal community, but which c

Det finns flertal fall då grafdatabaser överträffar traditionella relationsdatabasers pre-standa. Är grafdatabaser potentiellt den nya lagringsmetoden vid stor mängd sam-mankopplad data? Vilka villkor krävs? För att sätta det på prov har vi skapat entestmiljö med en stor mängd relationsbunden data.In an age of increasing usage of heavily interconnected platforms, graph databases have increased in popularity due to their ease of modelling these systems. This thesis will evaluate if the graph database Neo4j can be used to model Lime's CRM System efficiently by comparing the performance of Neo4j and MS SQL on queries similar to those existing in Lime CRM. To benchmark the databases, they w

Människokroppen är uppbyggd av olika typer av celler som exempelvis hudceller, nervceller och fettceller. Generellt sett är dessa celler utformade för en väldigt specifik uppgift såsom att utföra arbete (exempelvis muskelceller) eller att förse kroppen med struktur (exempelvis benceller). Det finns en väldigt spektakulär typ av cell -- så kallade stamceller -- vars specifika syfte är att omvandlasThe generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from differentiated cells is a process of great scientific interest due to the medical potential of such cells. This process (called 'reprogramming' of cells) is however notoriously inefficient and still not very well understood. Therefore studies that can help us understand the interactions and mechanisms governing the reprogramming p

Governance and ideology have significant influence on how problems and policies are conceptualized. This conceptualization affects the way in which political subjects are formed and how individuals regard themselves. In this paper we approach environmental policy from a post-structuralist stance. Our ambition is to demonstrate a paradoxical relationship between the current consumer oriented repres

Preeclampsia, a common complication of pregnancy, contributes significantly to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It may lead to both quantitative and qualitative defects of maternal and neonatal platelets. In this prospective study, flow cytometry has been used to study expression of platelet-surface glycoproteins (GPs) on maternal and neonatal platelets of both healthy and preeclamptic

In this work, we investigate production of Drell-Yan (DY) pairs in proton-nucleus collisions in kinematic regions where the corresponding coherence length does not exceed the nuclear radius, RA, and the quantum coherence effects should be treated with special care. The results for the nucleus-to-nucleon production ratio available in the literature so far are usually based on the assumption of a ve

Existing studies concerning private labels are unclear as to whether private label manufacturers carry out product development themselves. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies comparing product development processes in private label companies and national brand manufacturers. This study highlights a set of critical product development factors and assesses their prevalence in four different comp

SYFTE Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera Svenska hedgefonders historiska avkastning beträffande riskjusterad avkastning och korrelation mot marknaden. Vidare studeras dessa faktorer ur ett investerarperspektiv för att undersöka huruvida Svenska hedgefonder fyller ett syfte som komplement i en marknadsportfölj. METOD Uppsatsen använder sig till största del av kvantitativ data som insamlas med hj

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of how different groups of consumers perceive a brand depending on whether they are exposed to influencer marketing or paid social media marketing. Methodology: A descriptive quantitative study with a between-subjects design was conducted using a digital survey. A combination of one-way ANOVA, independent samples t-test and Spear

During the past years Enterprise 2.0 has become widely spread among organization. However is there not enough awareness in the organizations concerning the necessary organizational changes which companies need to address when planning for the shift to Enterprise 2.0. In this study we aim to indentify solutions for success which affect if an Enterprise 2.0 implementation will succeed or not and how

The purpose of this thesis is to examine if, from a portfolio perspective, the Value at Risk decreases when electricity is included as an asset to a portfolio of risk bearing assets and if this could have an impact on risk hedging strategies. The portfolio standard deviation used to calculate the Value at Risk is based on a Dynamic Conditional Correlation approach providing a time dependent correl
