In the face of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), patterns and assumptions on management are being reshaped, particularly in the dynamic realm of change management. With organizations effectively functioning as political arenas, where both internal and external actors bargain and negotiate for power and influence, the importance of the political frame when managing organiza
Against the backdrop of increasing global emphasis on environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG), improving the efficiency of ESG data analysis and the sustainability of its sharing has become particularly important. This study proposes a comprehensive research framework, first demonstrating the advantages of deep models for ESG data analysis, and then discussing the combination of ESG
The title of my master’s thesis is “to sail through the room”, and it deals with museum ships as a space rather than as an object. Meaning that museum ships are seen as spaces in which events and experiences can occur, opposed to things that events and experience happen to or around. Little museological research on museum ships has been done, and no research at all has been done concerning the spe
The purpose of this master’s thesis is to gain in-depth knowledge about how the provision of digital books via the e-book service Biblio functions in Swedish public libraries and how this activity can be understood through the library's mission of promoting the development of a democratic society. To gather the empirical material for this study, we have conducted semi-structured interviews wit
Title: The Power to be Creative - Unveiling the Influence of Power on Creativity Within Open Innovation Environments Authors: Savana Alves Pires and Arianna Isabelle Ragonese Purpose: This thesis aimed to explore the impact of power on creativity within an open innovation environment. Methodology: We employed a qualitative study utilizing the interpretivist tradition while using an abductive a
In 2019, the Cuban state legalized private businesses in the form of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), a remarkable shift from their historically centralized planned economy. The thesis analyzes how MSMEs are portrayed in the Cuban Economic and Social Model of Socialist Development 2021–2026 policy. The analysis is conducted using Baccchi’s What’s the Problem Represented to be (WPR) ap
Museums as cultural heritage institutions have an ability when it comes to determining what is and is not a part of a cultural heritage. Many Swedish open-air museums work with conveying knowledge about what can be called biological cultural heritage. An important part of the biological cultural heritage is the old Swedish livestock breeds, cultivated plants and wild plants. These animals and plan
This thesis examines the transmission mechanism of indexed bonds and loans in comparison to nominal bonds in the context of Iceland's monetary policy. The study analyses the effectiveness of indexed bonds and loans in transmitting monetary policy, in the form of the policy rate, and their impact on the economy by using a VAR model. The study explores the historical background of indexation in
This thesis explores the experiences of employees during the technological transition from Skype to Microsoft Teams, focusing on their sensemaking processes. The research investigates how employees interpret and understand technological change, aiming to provide insights that facilitate smoother transitions in workplace technology. Through semi-structured interviews, the study captures a range of
In the Swedish discourse surrounding school libraries, there has since the 1980’s been an ongoing shift towards a result-oriented approach to education and learning, which prioritises quantifiable values and students achievements and grades. This reflects a neoliberal trend where the fostering of bildung has been pushed aside by an efficiency-driven educational mission. The aim of this thesis is t
Bakgrund: På intensivvårdsavdelningen vårdas svårt sjuka patienter och höga krav ställs på personalen som arbetar där. Ett av dessa svåra sjukdomstillstånd är akut respiratorisk svikt. En del i behandlingen kan vara att vårda patienten i bukläge med förhoppning om att optimera ventilationen och syresättningen. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva mortalitet, incidens av intubation och komplikationer vid
In Sweden, as in many other countries, there is an increasing elderly population, which poses both challenges and opportunities for municipalities. Nevertheless, it is crucial to address their needs to ensure healthy aging and continued social inclusion to advance the prospects. The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a framework to encourage cities to become more age-friendly, focusing
This master’s thesis has been conducted in collaboration with Remote Aero. The aim is to determine important design principles when developing an interface to be used for drone control in emergency situations. To determine the end user, an interview was conducted with the stakeholder. The end user was defined as an individual that works as a sea rescue volunteer at the Swedish Sea Rescue Society w
Aerosols are one of the significant factors influencing climate, environment, and human health. They are categorized into anthropogenic and natural sources. In Sweden, natural aerosol sources of high coarse mode particle mass concentrations for particles larger than 1 µm in diameter include sea spray, primary biogenic particles, and dust particles. The dust particles can be agricultural soil and m
I takt med att flera prominenta AI-verktyg har visat sig effektiva i programmeringssyfte har frå-gan kring utvecklares erfarenhet och acceptans av dessa AI-verktyg ställts.

The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of various hierarchical levels regarding AI integration into the innovation process within a KIF and examine its influence on the design and usage of MCS. By synthesizing insights into the relationship between AI integration and MCS, this research contributes valuable knowledge to academic discourse and practical implementation strategies, en
This qualitative study investigates how formalization of private property rights through titling affects poverty dynamics in urban informal settlements in Jamaica, a small “developing” state. It relies on a case study to explore the impact of titling on tenure security, housing investment, access to credit, and gender poverty and the factors that support or constrain titling initiatives. Given the
This thesis presents an in-depth investigation into the behaviour of two distinct industrial material systems under specialized conditions: diamond tools machining titanium alloys and the annealing of alumina-forming steels. The observation of two sub-projects was finished by two state-of-the-art synchrotron facilities FlexPES and MAXPEEM respectively at the MAX IV laboratory. The study elucidates
Encouraging Innovation and Research and Development stands as a priority of the EU and it is considered a cornerstone of economic growth and prosperity, but can it be promoted at any price? Due to the increasing importance of intangible assets in international trade, multinational corporations have been setting the transfer prices for intra-group transactions of such assets resorting to tax plann
