This study provides insights into why new ventures adopt different learning behaviors when managing uncertainty associated with commercializing products, services or processes. The research builds on a comparative case-study methodology using 21 in-depth semi-structured interviews and company documents.

The impacts of climate change on rural cultures and livelihoods depend on how the resulting complex biophysical processes may transform people’s land use practices. We argue that research can incorporate local concerns of compound hazards through deterministic rather than probabilistic approaches to better understand the multiple causations involved in such climate change impacts. We apply mixed

This paper investigates the accuracy of three different methods that are used to perform a relative valuation. I also study the valuation accuracy of the three most widely used multiples used within these methods, the enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA), the forward-looking price per share to earnings per share (P/EPS1), and the price-book (P/B). In addition, the difference between industries r

Editionsinstitutet och den processuella editionsplikten möjliggör för en part att med domstolens hjälp, under vissa förutsättningar, avtvinga motpart eller tredje man skriftliga handlingar som kan tänkas äga betydelse som bevis i en pågående tvist. En hel del har skrivits om editionsinstitutet och den processuella editionsplikten. Trots detta är rättsläget i många avseende fortfarande oklart. HögThe procedural duty of disclosure enables a party, with the assistance of the court and under certain conditions, to compel the opposing party or a third party to produce written documents that may be deemed significant as evidence in an ongoing trial. Much has been written about the procedural duty of disclosure. Nevertheless, the legal landscape remains unclear in many respects. In recent years
This thesis explores the phenomenon of clothing repair. The fashion industry stands out as one of the most environmentally unsustainable sectors globally, largely due to its adoption of the linear production and consumption model of take, make, and waste. In response to this, the European Union has prioritized textiles in its Circular Economy Action Plan, and within it repair emerges as the most d
Studiens syfte var att med en explorativ ansats undersöka och beskriva svenska afghanistansoldaters upplevelser och känslor kopplat till sin utlandstjänstgöring och att få en bredare bild med olika aspekter av hur detta upplevs av soldaterna själva. Syftet var även att låta soldaterna ge synpunkter på Försvarsmaktens rutiner i form av bl.a. förberedelser, akut stöd på plats och uppföljning. Dessut
Utgångspunkten för denna uppsats är att det i det svenska samhället råder en stark norm kring tvåsamhet som grund för familjebildning, vilket blir tydligt redan i första kapitlet i ÄktB i vilket det framgår vilka som har rätt att gifta sig - de som befinner i sig i en parrelation. Polygami i form av månggifte är emellertid olagligt. I uppsatsen studeras hur tvåsamheten legitimeras och vad som uttrThis thesis is based on the assumption that Swedish society has a strong norm surrounding twosome togetherness as the basis for family construction. This is already evident in the first chapter of the Swedish Marriage Code, which refers to those eligible to marry as two persons in a relationship. Polygamy, however, is illegal. The thesis examines the legal concept of twoness; what is said about it
Prior to resettlement, refugee children are exposed to stressors that leave them vulnerable to the development of health and psychosocial problems.
