Besöksnäringens företagsstrategier på öar och i skärgårdar under pandeminNuay, Christian January 2022 (has links)
Introduction: The Covid19 pandemic meant that many organizations suffered profitability problems – in both the public and private sectors. Different industries were affected in different ways, where, for example, the construction industry experienced a boom while the service sector stagnated. Sweden had less extensive restrictions, but despite this, business was significantly affected. Aim: Since archipelagos are attractive seasonal meeting places with many bars and restaurants, the aim of this work is to investigate how the hospitality industry in these remote places handled the ongoing Covid-19 crisis and what strategies they adopted to survive the crisis. Theory: The theoretical frame of reference is based on phenomenography, which is used as a theoretical as well as methodological approach in this work. The theoretical frame of reference helps to provide a picture of how social capital and institutional factors strongly contribute to setting the framework for the possibility of entrepreneurship, especially in peripheral regions. Method: To fulfill the purpose of the study, individual interviews as well as group interviews with entrepreneurs around the archipelago have been reviewed, which have then been contrasted with existing business economics research where the results have been interpreted using a phenomenographic analysis model. Results: The results show that the islands are characterized by limitations regarding both social and practical infrastructure, as well as other types of obstacles related to their geographically exposed location. The result also shows that entrepreneurial innovations arise in relation to these limitations where the entrepreneurs who work with few resources still manage to run their businesses with profit. Conclusion: The study shows that there are great similarities between businesses within Sweden's archipelago in times of crisis. A decisive factor in how well this cope with a crisis lies in how cooperation works with society's formal institutions. However, more peripheral regions fare better than those close to large cities. An explanation for this, may lie in the fact that they are more used to fending for themselves. Due to a lack of resources, social capital becomes an important factor in mitigating the risks of a crisis.

Hälsofrämjande ledarskap : En kvalitativ studie om chefers uppfattningar om hur de arbetat med att främja hälsa och lärande under covid19-pandeminHöyer, Jonathan, Lindgren, Andreas, Börjesson, Philip January 2022 (has links)
De senaste åren drabbades världen av en pandemi, nämligen Covid-19. Detta har påverkat organisationer och företag i negativ bemärkelse. Pandemin har skapat utmaningar för chefer att arbeta hälsofrämjande inom organisationer under denna tid. Syftet med studien var att belysa chefers uppfattningar om hur de arbetat hälsofrämjande i sitt ledarskap med att främja hälsa och lärande under Covid19-pandemin. I denna studie har den teoretiska referensramen varit känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) som har sin utgångspunkt ur ett salutogent perspektiv samt teorin om det kollektiva lärandet. Författarna utgick i studien från en hermeneutisk forskningsinriktning med en abduktiv ansats. Tio semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes och analyserades utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys där tre kategorier skapades. Resultatet i studien indikerar på att chefer arbetade med fysisk aktivitet, digitala mötesformer och kommunikation i ledarskapet för att främja medarbetarnas hälsa och lärande under Covid19-pandemin. Slutsatser i studien var att cheferna har uppfattat att de främjade medarbetarnas hälsa genom fysisk aktivitet då det stärkte medarbetarnas KASAM, även lärandet främjades genom digitala mötesformer samt att kommunikation i ledarskapet främjade medarbetarnas hälsa och lärande under Covid19-pandemin.

Influence of COVID-19 on E-commerce sales : The omnichannel strategies case of the retail businesses in SwedenAguilar Montaño, Joel Dorian January 2022 (has links)
Purpose - This thesis aims to describe the strategies employed by omnichannel experts in Swedish retail shops during the Covid19 pandemic. Furthermore, the integration of the physical and online channels is studied to describe the methods used to increase sales, especially in the online channels. Methodology – The study applies a qualitative method where semi-structured interviews were conducted with omnichannel experts from retail businesses. Findings – The aim of the retail shops during the Covid19 pandemic has been to perform in- store and online shopping despite the partial restrictions. Retail shops had to adapt to the changes in the Swedish market and the consumer behavior. The challenge of maintaining sales and remaining competitive has shown that Swedish retail shops have remained resilient and that adaptation has been key to their business strategies. Practical Implications – Retail businesses worldwide were forced to close their business except for their online services. However, Sweden is a particular case where retailers had to find solutions to their physical and online retail operations. Partial restrictions allowed them to carry out business activities in the Swedish market. Therefore, the current pandemic has influenced Swedish retailers to help them identify business strategies to boost their sales, especially online sales. As well as the data collection and literature findings, both cases suggest that adapting to new technologies is the key to increasing sales in all channels. Therefore, retailers should introduce new ways of working with the help of technological tools to become more competitive and provide excellent service to an increasingly demanding and technologically savvy customer. Contribution – This study contributes to the area of research that looks at how omnichannel retail structures can be improved to increase sales. And how they adapt to change market situations that influence consumer behavior.

The International Journal of HomileticsDeeg, Alexander, Ringgaard Lorensen, Marlene 01 October 2020 (has links)
2020 – this year will surely be remembered as the year of the Covid19-pandemic. Writing these lines in August 2020, there are around 20 million people infected (numbers increasing continuously) – and the whole population of the world affected by the virus. 750.000 people died in the first months of the pandemic. And all over the world poverty increases, and the most vulnerable are most affected by the crisis.
Are there any ‘answers’ sermons can give? Or is this a time for silently listening with the congregations to the word of God? What is the role of preaching in the pandemic – knowing that we will never simply return to the situation ‘before’ the pandemic, but that our way of living, and also our way of preaching and celebrating worship will change.

I ljuset av Covid19 : En fenomenologisk studie av specialpedagogers uppfattningar och upplevelser av sin roll och sitt uppdrag före, under och efter omställningen till distansundervisning i gymnasieskolanSöder, Sofia January 2021 (has links)
Tidigare forskning gör gällande att specialpedagogens uppdrag ofta är komplext och i hög grad kan skifta beroende av olika faktorer. I samband med utbrottet av Covid19 våren 2020 ställdes undervisningen hastigt om i den svenska gymnasieskolan. Omställningen används i denna studie för att belysa specialpedagogens uppdrag. Syftet med studien är att skapa kunskap om det specialpedagogiska uppdraget och specialpedagogens roll vid förändring genom det specialpedagoger uttrycker om sina uppfattningar och upplevelser rörande uppdrag och roll vid tiden före, under och efter omställningen från närundervisning till distansundervisning. Vidare är syftet att analysera hur specialpedagogen på bästa sätt kan arbeta för att skapa goda förutsättningar för lärandet, och hur detta kan bli möjligt. Då intresset för studien är specialpedagogers uppfattningar, åsikter, attityder och känslor, det vill säga specialpedagogernas egna upplevelser, kan studiens infallsvinkel beskrivas som fenomenologiskt inspirerad. Semistrukturerade intervjuer är metoden som används för datainhämtning. Det teoretiska analysbegrepp som används för att diskutera specialpedagogens uppdrag och roll är förändringsagent. Begreppet ligger till grund för den modell, kallad Specialpedagogen som förändringsagent-modellen, som har operationaliserats inom ramen för denna undersökning och som används för att tydliggöra respondenternas roller, och förskjutningen av de samma. Studien visar att specialpedagoger upplever att de borde arbeta mer med handledning och skolutveckling för att på så sätt stödja elevers lärande, än de i själva verket gör. Examensmålen stödjer det specialpedagoger uttrycker, då stöttning av elever är en del av uppdraget. För att specialpedagoger ska kunna ägna sig åt skolutveckling, krävs att detta är i förväg förhandlat och förankrat i organisationen. Dessutom krävs stöd, både från skolledning och från kollegor tillhörande samma profession, för att specialpedagoger ska kunna hävda sin roll då specialpedagogrollen innebär stora utmaningar i att svara upp mot de många olika behov som finns i skolan.

“Hörs jag?” Effekterna på Historielärare av digital historieundervisning under pandemiåret : En fallstudie kring historielärares ämnesförståelse och dess roll i utmaningar och effekter under vårtermin 2020Irvhage, Tommie January 2022 (has links)
In this case study I interviewed five history teachers experiences of digital education during the covid-19 outbreak the spring of 2020. What are the views of these teachers on the nature of their subject and its potential, how was this transferred into the digital space under hastily manners? And what was the following effects? Interestingly depending on how the teachers view the potential of their subject their methods of teaching it changes. Which included different hindrances while transferring education into the digital classroom. The teachers used different strategies to mitigate the hindrances, but some patterns could be observed to be in common. This study concludes that the most important factors that affected the teachers where availability of digital tools and lack of visual feedback from the students. The teachers took different strategies to mitigate these too. The effects of the hasty lockdown and digitization of the classroom was during its time most notable lack of energy and a decrease of the teacher’s self-image as educators. The effects of the lack of student response seems universal and a key reason of the negative effects, implicating that the meeting between teachers and students play a big role in not only the students learning, but also for the teachers feeling of work-related value. Regardless of the negative effects, in the case of these teachers the most notable aftereffect of the experiences is that most of the teachers are even more motivated and feel a confirmation of their jobs and subjects’ significance.
