The principles of parallel computing, the MPI program parcel, which was used in this work, allow to adapt them to solve tasks using computer nets and peculiarities of implanting this package. The specific character of multiple criteria tasks of optimization and way of solutions using computer nets were cleared up. The decision theory, basic methods of making decisions were described in this work.

As decisões racionais ou intuitivas delimitam a vida das pessoas, gerando boas ou más consequências. São as decisões que geram oportunidades, desafios e incertezas. Até pouco tempo, a teoria gerencial era embasada nas premissas, de que, por critérios de racionalidade poderíamos dominar a vida e o destino das empresas. No entanto, em virtude de limitações envolvidas no processo decisório, como falta de tempo, excesso de informações, mudanças constantes e instabilidade tanto econômica quanto política, fizeram com que métodos suportados pela racionalidade, busquem apoio em conhecimentos gerados pela experiência acumulada pelo indivíduo. Esta dissertação visa abordar a tomada de decisão dos empreendedores, juntando aspectos da administração e da psicologia. Primeiramente uma abordagem da evolução do pensamento sobre a tomada de decisão é repassada, com conceitos que dão conta da racionalidade limitada e também de que o nível de incerteza e a complexidade inerente às decisões aumentaram. Após evidências teóricas mostrando como a intuição influencia a tomada de decisão, esperasse demonstrar como os empreendedores entrevistados utilizam a intuição para a tomada de decisões. Através de estudo de caso com oito empreendedores, foi possível apresentar aspectos que influenciam o comportamento dos empreendedores no exercício do processo decisório, demonstrando que suas decisões nem sempre seguem um processo racional descrito na literatura, mas respaldam-se muitas vezes em formas intuitivas e criativas que dependem muito mais de sua experiência e de sua percepção sobre oportunidades ou ameaças que propriamente uma planilha estatística. Como resultado, verificou-se que a intuição tem papel importante na formação da solução percebida pelos empreendedores, e como outros autores já colocaram, há uma grande dificuldade em colocar todos os elementos que compõem a tomada de decisão nos processos decisórios, fazendo com que o empreendedor recorra em muitas decisões, a fontes mais informais, como é o caso da intuição, que respondendo ao objetivo principal desta dissertação, constatou-se que possivelmente a experiência e a intuição sejam os elementos que mais auxiliam a tomada de decisão, principalmente na primeira e na terceira geração, conforme será demonstrado nesta dissertação. / Intuitive and rational decisions put a limit on people’s lives, resulting in good and bad consequences. The decisions generate opportunities, challenges and uncertainties. Until recently, management theory was grounded in assumptions that, by rational criteria we could dominate life and companies’ fate. However, due to limitations involved in the decision-making process, such as lack of time, information overload, constant changes and instability both economic and political made methods supported by rationality, seek support in knowledge generated by the accumulated individual experience. This work seeks to address the entrepreneurs’ decision-making, combining aspects of management and psychology. First of all an approach to thought evolving on the decision-making is checked on through concepts that take into account bounded rationality and also that the level of uncertainty and the inherent complexity of decisions increased. After theoretical evidences showing how the intuition influences the decision making-process, it is expected to demonstrate how interviewed entrepreneurs use intuition to make decisions. Through a case study with eight entrepreneurs, it was possible to present aspects that influence entrepreneurs’ behavior in the exercise of decision-making by demonstrating that their decisions do not always follow a rational process described in the literature, but often they are supported in intuitive and creative ways, which rely more heavily on their experience and their perception of opportunities or threats, than in a exactly statistical spreadsheet. As a result, it was found that intuition plays an important role in forming the solution perceived by entrepreneurs, and as others have already put, there is great difficulty in putting all the elements that make up the decision-making into decision-making processes, making the entrepreneur refers, in many decisions, the more informal sources, such as the intuition case, that responding to the main objective of this abstract , it was found that perhaps the experience and intuition are the factors that most help the decision making, especially in the first and in the third generations, as will be shown in this work.

Syfte: Att nå förståelse för relationen mellan en byrå och en kund genom att analysera föreställningen om marknadsföring och reklam som något kreativt, samt beslutsfattande och makt i den kreativa processen. Frågeställningar: Vilken roll spelar föreställningen om marknadsföring och reklam som något kreativt i relationen mellan marknadsavdelning och reklambyrå, framförallt gällande beslut fattade i kreativa processer? Vari ligger makten över de kreativa besluten, och hur gestaltas den? Metod: Kvalitativ, tolkande metod baserad på intervjuer och autoetnografi Slutsats: Vi har funnit att föreställningen om reklambyråer som kreativa spelar stor roll i relation till kunden. Framförallt relaterat till vad vi valt att kalla kreativt kapital. Detta fungerar som ett sätt för byrån att erövra status och anseende på fältet, och samtidigt bygga tillit och legitimitet hos kunden. Vi har även funnit att den formella makten ligger hos kunden, men byrån sitter på en inte oansenlig indirekt makt genom att välja vad som presenteras för kunden. Vi finner det även nödvändigt att göra en uppdelning mellan formell makt och de facto makt, varav den senare är rörlig mellan relationens olika aktörer. / Advertising agencies are often considered as being creative. In this thesis we have examined the conception of agencies as creative. Especially we have taken an interest in how this conception affects the relationship between an agency and its client. This has been examined through the concepts of (creative) decision making, power and, to some extent, the Bourdieuesque concept of field and habitus. We have found that the conception of the creative ad agency have an impact on the relationship between agency and client, especially when we relate it to the concept of creative capital. Also, we have found that the power in the relationship in a formal sense lies at the client, but that the agency has a great deal of indirect power by the ability to choose what they should bring to the customer. There are also important to make a distinction between the formal power and the de facto power. With the latter meaning the power that actually takes place in the relationship, but in formal sense doesn’t really exist.

I maj 2011 infördes nya plan- och bygglagen som gör reglering av fastighetsindelningen möjlig i detaljplaner genom så kallade fastighetsindelningsbestämmelser. Enligt äldre lagstiftning bildades tomtindelningar och fastighetsplaner som i dag räknas som fastighetsindelningsbestämmelser. Eftersom majoriteten av dessa antingen är genomförda eller inaktuella i dag skapar det problem vid fastighetsbildning och måste därför upphävas.   Syftet med rapporten är att beskriva och analysera hur äldre tomtindelningar och fastighetsplaner hanteras i samband med fastighetsbildningsärenden. Rapporten ska undersöka vilka olika handläggnings- och beslutsordningar som används för upphävande av äldre tomtindelningar och fastighetsplaner. Ett bisyfte är att ge förslag på hur handläggnings- och beslutsordningen kan förbättras med fokus på nya plan- och bygglagen.   Metoderna som använts har varit litteraturstudie, fallstudier och enkätundersökning. Litteraturen som studerats har varit vetenskapliga artiklar, lagtext, lagkommentarer, propositioner och annan juridisk facklitteratur. Fallstudierna har genomförts för att beskriva och analysera upphävandeärenden från Leksand, Falun, Sandviken och Gävle. Enkätundersökningen skickades till verksamma förrättningslantmätare inom Dalarnas och Gävleborgs län för att få fördjupad kunskap och deras åsikter om tomtindelningar och fastighetsplaner.   Litteraturstudien visar att behovet av att reglera markanvändningen har funnits länge och finns än i dag. Genom att bestämma hur marken delas in i fastigheter förhindras en okontrollerad utbyggnad av staden. Lagstiftningen har under åren förändrats och flera nyheter har tillkommit efter införande av PBL, bland annat planbesked. Av fallstudierna och enkätundersökningen framgår det att lantmäterimyndigheterna hanterar handläggnings- och beslutordningen olika i samband med upphävande av tomtindelningar och fastighetsplaner. Det finns skillnader mellan statliga och kommunala lantmäterimyndigheter avseende kommunikation och upprättande av handlingar. Det statliga Lantmäteriet har till skillnad mot de kommunala lantmäterimyndigheterna i Gävle och Sandviken inte delegationsbeslut om upphävande av tomtindelningar och fastighetsplaner. Skillnader finns även i hur myndigheterna upprättar handlingar, där statliga Lantmäteriet saknar en enhetlig utformning medan kommunala lantmäterimyndigheten i Gävle kommun har upprättat mallar.   Slutsatsen är att handläggnings- och beslutsordningen kan förenklas genom att upprätta enhetliga ärendehandlingar. Det statliga Lantmäteriet bör även i fortsättningen få upprätta planförslag till upphävande av fastighetsplaner. En lagändring kan göras för att ge SLM tillfällig rätt att besluta om upphävande av fastighetsplaner. Vidare föreslås planbeskedet bör undantas från upphävandeprocessen, eftersom det riskerar förlänga processen upp till fyra månader. / In May 2011 the new Planning and Building Act was introduced, which makes it possible to regulate the division of property into property division’s provisions. Today, plot subdivisions and property regulation plans formed under previous legislation, counts as property division’s provisions according to the Planning and Building Act. Since the majority of these are either completed or outdated today, it becomes a problem connected to land parceling and therefore needs to be abolished.   The aim with this report is to describe and analyze how older plot subdivisions and property regulation plans are dealt with in connection to land parceling. The report will explore which handling and decision-making systems are used when abolishing plot subdivisions and property regulation plans. A secondary objective is to provide suggestions on how to improve the handling and decision-making process according to the new Planning and Building Act.   The methods consist of a literature review, case studies and a questionnaire survey. The studied literature was scientific papers, legal texts, law proposals and other appropriate literature. The case studies were conducted to describe and analyze the handling and decision-making process in different land surveying agencies. The survey was sent to active land surveyors in Dalarnas and Gävleborgs counties, to obtain a deeper knowledge and their opinions on plot subdivisions and property regulation plans.   The literature review shows that the need to regulate land use has long existed and still exists today. By determining how land is divided into parcels it could prevent uncontrolled expansion of the city. The legislation has changed over the years and several new features have been introduced in the new Planning and Building Act, i.e. plan notices. The case studies and questionnaires shows that the surveying authorities manages the handling and decision-making process differently. There are differences between national and municipal surveying authorities regarding communication and establishing records. The National Land Surveying Agency in Dalarna, unlike the municipal surveying authority in Gävle, does not have a delegation decision from the town planning committee to abolish plot subdivisions and property plans. There are also differences in how to establish records, the National Land Surveying Agency lack a uniform format while the municipal surveying authority in Gävle has established templates.   The conclusion is that the handling and decisions-making process can be simplified by establishing uniform records. The National Land Surveying Agency should continue to create planning proposals. A legislative amendment may be made to provide the National Land Surveying Agency a temporary right to make the decision to abolish property regulation plans. It is proposed that the plan notice should be exempt from the handling and decision-making process.

The topic of this dissertation thesis is collection, analysis and evaluation of information about investment decisions making within public administration bodies. The investment decision making is examined in relation to allocation of public funds on investment activities and projects. The main goal of this thesis is to analyze and evaluate the current status of the investment decision making within the public sector. Subsequently the goal is to offer new or updated knowledge related to these issues, and bring recommendations to improve the investment decision making of public administration bodies. At first, there are described current knowledge in the field of investment decision making. This is followed by an analysis of assessment methods used for evaluation and selection of investment projects. The work is completed by recommendations for investment decisions making in the form of a normative model. The model should increase benefits of public investment expenses for society. There are used data obtained through a questionnaire survey of 430 subsidized firms, 169 state organizational units and state funds and 130 cities, boroughs and counties. Another important source of information was secondary data of selected ministries and agencies, legislation and literature.

The study aims to investigate the social worker's experiences of working with cases supported by LVU, with a focus on challenges and handling of these challenges. Furthermore, a rela-tional perspective was adopted to examine how social workers experience the relationship and alliance with the client in LVU cases. The study was performed within a qualitative, semi-structured interview format. The inter-views were conducted with social workers making decisions within matters regarding chil-dren and youths, with support from LVU. Five social workers from four different units in three central Swedish localities participated in the study. Thematic analysis utilizing previous research alongside the theoretical concept’s street-level bureaucracy, discretion, and alliance, was applied to analyze the collected material. The results showed a professional role characterized by complexity in the form of difficult assessments due to time restraints and limited discretion. Further affecting is the duality of making assessments and decisions concerning the lives of others, whilst establishing a neces-sary relation to succeed in the active client work. Furthermore, the results show that a rela-tional approach is also applicable in compulsory care matters.
