The purpose of our paper is to describe venture capitalists’ responses to psychological contract violations in their relationship with entrepreneurs. In addition, we seek to establish a link between the characteristics of a psychological contract violation and the venture capitalist’s behavior. We are concerned with three forms of psychological contract violations: (i) a disagreement over the goal

We explored how a company tries to overcome the problems of awareness, attribution and the definitional misunderstandings of the CSR concept by investigating the message content of communication of a company that positions themselves on their CSR values and activities.

Sydvatten AB is a municipally owned company producing and supplying drinking water to about 900,000 inhabitants in southern Sweden through two water treatment plants (WTP), Ringsjöverket and Vombverket. At Vombverket, the present capacity is somewhat reduced because of pressure losses in the pipe systems of the WTP. Parts of the WTP was built already in the 1950’s and it was significantly expande

Our purpose of the thesis is to provide insights into how consultants, who are employed by a consulting company but perform their work at the client organization, experience belongingness at work. We do not aim to find a rational explanation or one truth of how consultants experience belongingness at work. Instead, we are interested in how multiple understandings of experiencing belongingness may

Som en del av en växande trend om en mer hållbar omvärld ställs det allt högre krav på företags ansvar för både miljön och mänskliga rättigheter. Före-tagens arbete med har dock hittills byggt på frivillighet, med OECD:s riktlinjer för multinationella företag och FN:s vägledande principer för företag och mänskliga rättigheter som grundläggande ramverk. EU-kommissionen lämnade i februari år 2022 eAs part of a growing trend towards a more sustainable environment, the demands on corporate responsibility for the environment and human rights are increasing. However, corporate responsibility has so far been based on voluntariness, with the OECD’s guidelines for multinational enterprises and the UN’s guiding principles for business and human rights as the basic frame-work. In February 2022 the E

This is a material experiment on the reaction between the wax liquid and water. I first saw the reaction between wax liquid and water by coincidence, then I decided to dig it so I took it as my master thesis. In this thesis, a rigorous and scientific research process was used in my perceptual material experiment. I documented every detail so that I could rationally summarize an analyze it. The g

Geografiska Informationssystem (GIS) har visat sig vara bra hjälpmedel i projekt för förorenad mark. Idag utvecklas 3D-modellering inom många områden mer och mer. Att kombinera 3D-modellering under markytan med fördelarna med att använda GIS för rumslig data är däremot begränsad. I den här studien har möjligheterna till interpolering av förorenade jordvolymer i 3D undersökts. Studien är fokuserad Geographical Information Systems (GISs) have shown to be of great help in the work at contaminated sites. Today there is an increase in the development of 3D modeling in many fields. However, to combine the advantage working with spatial data in a GIS and 3D modeling for subsurface soil data is limited. In this study, the possibilities of interpolating volumes of soil contamination in 3D were inve

Chemiluminescent emission from OH*, CH* and C2* radicals and its dependence on the equivalence ratio is being investigated in the current study. The aim of this project is to use the results for combustion control on marine vessels and safety checks. The study was conducted in collaboration with Kockumation, a leading company in developing control systems for running boilers and steam turbines on

Business action for sustainability is still mostly limited to ‘weakly sustainable’ activities that do not significantly change the way of doing business and only decrease negative environmental and societal impacts of doing business to a limited extent. Strongly sustainable business creates positive environmental, economic and social value and operates within the boundaries of the planet. Tools to

This paper identifies different university spin-off (USO) roles related to resource interaction among business parties. It does so by mapping how USOs become part of business networks in terms of their roles relative to other parties. The theoretical frame of reference focuses on roles and resource interaction based on an industrial network approach to business markets. The empirical research is b

Swedish emigration to America is a topic that does not hold a major position in Swedish historical research anymore. At one time, during the 1960s and 1970s, there were a major research project, Sweden and America after 1860, that focused primarily on the reasons of the migration, the demographics of the migration and to some extent what happened to the emigrants in America. The research project d

Gift exchange, and the economy associated with it, is not restricted only to those tribal cultures where it has mostly been studied, but can also appear as an element of contemporary market economies. Yet despite this, the practical functioning of gift relationships between business partners is an understudied area. By studying the giving of corporate Christmas gifts, this article contributes to c

Introduction The company produces different kinds of hearing protection aids, varying from simple plugs to advanced hearing-muffs with built-in electronics. At the department where this thesiswork was executed, hearing-muffs with electronics are produced. The company wishes to analyse the production-costs for some of the products by using an activity-based costing, (ABC). The ABC is expected to re

With the book The Theory of the Growth of the Firm, published in 1959, takes the researcher Edith Penrose the first step towards what will later be known as the resource based view. Many scholars have since taken up where Penrose left and has further developed the approach to something that can now be described as almost a philosophy. Today is the resource based view synonymous with an internal fo

The freedom of establishment is an expression of the Internal Market. On the one hand, the EU tries to strengthen the Internal Market, but on the other hand, Member States have a fear to lose their national control, making them eager to restrict the free movements granted by the Internal Market doctrine. The contradiction becomes visible in regard to the cross-border movement of companies in the E
