As business had become less labour intensive, Kaplan and Johnson argued that the traditional management accounting methods, using direct labour as cost base, were out-dated. Instead, Activity-Based Costing is based on the costs for the activities that the products require. The methodolo
I den här uppsatsen undersöks den vision om Malmö som presenteras i stadens förslag till ny översiktsplan – vad det är som karaktäriserar staden i det förflutna och i nutid och hur framtiden förväntas se ut. Mitt arbete syftar till att ta reda på vilka det är som våra städer planeras för. Min teoretiska utgångspunkt ligger i berättelsen som som ett sätt att befästa en hegemonisk bild av verklighetThis essay examines the vision of Malmö represented in the city's proposal for a new comprehensive plan – what characterizes the city in the past and in the present and what the future is expected to be like.

En sammanvägning av regelverken avseende upphandling och beskattning som en icke-filippinsk leverantör har att beakta vittnar om en stark vilja att främja den inhemska filippinska produktionen och materielförsörjningen. Verkligheten ser dock annorlunda ut. Den filippinska marknaden klarar inte av att tillgodose landets försvarsmakts materielbehov och politiska beslut har öppnat upp marknaden för uA comprehensive study of the legislation concerning procurement and taxa-tion regarding a non-Philippine supplier indicates a strong desire to promote the national Philippine defence production and supply of defence materiel.
