For managers, meetings may be an arena “where the action is”: situations to display competence and moral character. However, others may feel less involved, and meetings may be experienced as nonsense, as meaningless and worthless. A recurring theme in various studies is complaints about meetings, particularly regarding their frequency, their emptiness, and the forced attendance, taking time from

Should an inflation-targeting central bank have an explicit tolerance band around its inflation target? This paper provides an answer derived from the Swedish experience. The Riksbank is exceptional in the sense that it first adopted and later abolished an explicit band and is currently considering bringing it back. We conclude that the band should be explicit for several reasons. Most important,

What level of influence should market actors be allowed to exert over consumers’ transactional decisions?

Within a rapidly evol
No oral modification-klausuler är en typ av boilerplate-klausul som är vanligt förekommande i svenska och internationella avtal. De går att identifiera genom att de typiskt sätt begränsar avtalsparter från att göra ändringar i avtalet på något annat sätt än skriftligt, även kallat ett skriftkrav. Ett exempel på en NOM-klausul är: ”Alla ändringar av detta avtal måste göras skriftligen.” Dessa klausNo oral modification clauses are a type of boilerplate clause commonly found in Swedish and international contracts. They can be identified by the fact that they typically restrict contracting parties from making changes to the contract in any way other than in writing, also known as a writing requirement. An example of a NOM clause is: "All changes to this contract must be made in writing.&q

Under senare år har artificiell intelligens blivit alltmer populärt. I samband med det ökade intresset har vi sett nya applikationer för denna teknologin. En ny användning blev att man genom viss AI databaser fick fram vad som kallas för ”generativ AI”. Generativ AI kan skapa olika verk på olika alster efter man givit den instruktioner som kallas ”prompts”. Av intresse för många var hur viss generIn recent years artificial intelligence has risen in popularity. In relation with the increased interest, we have also seen new applications with said technol-ogy. One of those uses are called “generative AI”.

According to Ethan Mollick, artificial intelligence (AI) is the most recent general purpose technology (GPT), the “once-in-a-generation technologies, like steam power or the internet, that touch every industry and every aspect of life” (2024, p. xv). Unlike the slowly unfolding transformations caused by these earlier GPTs, the changes sparked by AI seem to evolve daily. This rapid pace creates a s

Two different sum rules for transmission of the coherent electromagnetic fieldby a particulate slab are established. The particles are assumed sphericaland randomly located, and the slab is illuminated by a plane wave at normalincidence. These sum rules are obtained assuming the particles are passivescatterers, and satisfy energy conservation and causality conditions. The sumrules are then employe
