Diffrenser i rapportssystemet på IFÖ Sanitär AB

Börjesson, Maria, Lub, Fleur January 2006 (has links)
<p>Rapporteringssystem på företag fungerar som underlag för budgetplanering, framtida investeringar och översikt över slutförd produktion. Det är även ett bra hjälpmedel för företag som har realiserat olika kvalitetssystem för att säkra och förbättra kvaliteten. Rutinerna för rapporteringen måste ske med hög precision för att undvika att felaktiga uppgifter läggs in. Sådana felaktiga uppgifter kan ge upphov till att underlaget i rapporteringssystemet blir missvisande för företagets framtida planering. </p><p>Ifö Sanitär AB är företaget som har granskats i denna rapports undersökning för att identifiera vilka orsaker som ligger till grund för differenserna i rapporteringssystemet. Rapporteringsrutinerna visade sig innehålla brister såsom slarv med inrapporteringsblanketter, och stress samt överföringsbrister mellan olika datasystem. Kommunikationsproblem mellan olika befattningar och avdelningar på Ifö medförde oklarheter om vem som bar ansvaret för inrapporteringen. </p><p>Avvikelser som rapporten kommer att ta upp handlar i Ifö: s fall om kassation, stillestånd eller andra maskintekniska fel. Kassation är den avvikelse som ligger till grund för felrapportering. Efter varje skift på respektive produktionsprocess ska avvikelserna rapporteras in i ett manuellt system. Systemet innehåller data om processens utfall, det vill säga hur många pjäser som tillverkas, godkänns, lagras och kasseras. Utifrån dessa data i det manuella systemet görs en rapport över månadens utfall för respektive produkt. Det är här det uppstår differenser. Bristkostnader är de kostnader som uppstår på grund av avvikelser i produktionen, men även på grund av brister i rapporteringsrutinerna. Dessa måste elimineras för att hålla bristkostnaderna nere, och det är därför viktigt att kartlägga orsakerna till felen i rapporteringsprocessen. </p>

Skatteflyktslagen - i behov av förändring?

Månsson, Jenny, Nilsson, Jenny January 2006 (has links)
<p>Uppsatsen behandlar skatteflyktslagen ingående och en definition av begreppet skatteflykt presenteras. Även begreppen skattefusk och skatteplanering bearbetas. Vidare nämns metoden genomsyn då den är ett alternativt sätt att angripa skatteflyktsförfaranden på.</p><p>Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vilka omständigheter som krävs för att skatteflyktslagen ska bli tillämplig samt om lagen är tolkningsbar. Om så inte är fallet utreds hur lagen kan omarbetas. </p><p>Det framkommer att lagen går att tillämpa och tolka men svårigheter föreligger. För att lagen ska kunna tillämpas i större utsträckning blir vårt förslag att det sista rekvisitet i lagtexten slopas. </p><p> </p>

A comparative study between Swedish and foreign hedge funds

Andersson, Christoffer, Nilsson, Linus, Quach, Jeanette January 2007 (has links)
<p>In this dissertation we focus on how hedge funds registered in Sweden are behaving compared to foreign hedge funds. Since the Swedish regulation concerning hedge funds is tough, we believe that this might affect the performance of the Swedish hedge funds, both negative and positive. The purpose then, is to be able to find out what benefits Swedish hedge fund investors the most – investing in Swedish hedge funds, or investing abroad.</p><p>We formed hypotheses according to how we thought hedge funds registered in Sweden should perform in comparison with foreign hedge funds, since we believe that the Swedish hedge funds will perform differently due to sterner regulation. Since we test these hypotheses with statistical methods we are using a deductive approach. The data used are mainly of a secondary nature available from hedge fund indexes.</p><p>The statistical measures could not support any differences between the Swedish and foreign hedge funds.</p>

How is the Swedish manager perceived in an international perspective? A dissertation from a cultural point of view

Isaksson, Emelie, Wikhall, Martin January 2007 (has links)
<p>There is a lack of literature in management and cross cultural theories from a Swedish perspective. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how the Swedish manager is perceived by employees in other cultures. </p><p>The dissertation describes existing cultural theories such as Hofstede’s’ and Trompenaars’. It also describes leadership theories which can be connected to the Swedish manager’s characteristics.</p><p>The research data is collected by use of a web based questionnaire which were answered by employees in nine different countries, who have a Swedish manager. </p><p> </p><p>The analysis describes an indication of how employees in different countries perceive the Swedish manager. Further, it describes specific characteristics of the Swedish manager. </p><p>The dissertation is concluded by a connection between our result and a modified version of “The cross cultural model of leadership”, which explains the overall perception of the Swedish manager. The employees’ perception of the Swedish manager does not differ significantly between the examined cultures. Still, the appreciation of the Swedish manager varies between the examined cultures. Further, we found the Swedish manager’s attitude towards the prevalent culture to be more essential for the employees’ perception than education and language skills.</p>

Kommunal revisionskostnad - Vad påverkar kostnaden för revisionen i Sveriges kommuner?

Blank, Veronica January 2007 (has links)
<p>Den kommunala revisionen skiljer sig från den privata revisionen på flera sätt. En viktig skillnad är att kommunernas revisorer väljs på politiska grunder. Till sin hjälp anlitar de kommunala revisorerna sakkunniga biträden som är yrkesrevisorer. De kommer från privata revisionsbyråer eller i vissa fall från egna kommunala revisionskontor. Syftet med uppsatsen är att förklara vad som påverkar den kommunala revisionskostnaden i Sveriges kommuner. Den forskning som tidigare undersökt revisionskostnad har inriktat sig både på privat och kommunal verksamhet. Med utgångspunkt i denna forskning har hypoteser utformats om faktorer som kan påverka den kommunala revisionskostnaden i Sverige. De faktorer som tas fram har sin grund i tre olika områden. Dessa områden är kommunens egenskaper, politik och faktorer som påverkas av det faktum att kommuner anlitar sakkunniga biträden.</p><p>En totalundersökning har gjorts där alla Sveriges 290 kommuner omfattats. Undersökningen har till största delen bestått av dokumentstudier men också en viss insamling av primärdata.</p><p>Genom analys har samband kunnat fastställas mellan revisionkostnad och ett antal förklarande variabler. Undersökningen visar att kommunens storlek, ekonomiska status, organisation och läge alla är faktorer som påverkar revisionskostnaden. Dessutom har samband kunnat visas mellan politisk konkurrens och revisionskostnad. </p>

Empirical cost calculation : Why do cost variations occur in the car manufacturing process?

Falkborn, Martin, Gustavsson, Patrik, Olsson, Gustav January 2007 (has links)
<p>Volvo Cars Corporation is a large multinational company known worldwide. The competition is constantly increasing as well as the demands and the expectations from the customers. As in most companies there are possibilities to improve performances, at least in certain areas. One part of Volvo Cars Corporation is Volvo Cars Body Components situated in Olofström. During their process of the New Car Program, where a new car model is developed, cost variations occur. Our aim in this dissertation is to identify the important factors causing cost variations and find possible ways to reduce them.</p><p>The research is conducted with mainly two sources, qualitative interviews and secondary data. The empirical findings are then combined with the theoretical framework in order to achieve an understanding of the processes and the effect on the cost variations.</p><p>In the behavioural case study several possible factors for cost variations are identified. The most important are Product Change Request’s in combination with Change Orders as well as Process Change Requests. Our main suggestion to reduce the risk that these variations occur is that more emphasis should be put on the first part of the New Car Program. </p>

Eskola, Katariina, Hultman, Johanna, Johannesson, Johan January 2007 (has links)
<p>The organizational evolution of companies’ expansion abroad has been an interesting research object for many researches. Stopford and Wells belong to these researchers. This dissertation is based on their famous model, the International Structural Stages Model, which was developed during the 1960s.</p><p>The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate whether there are additional factors that are not considered in the International Structural Stages Model. Furthermore, we wanted to find out if it is possible to develop the International Structural Stages Model.</p><p>The survey was conducted on large international corporations with extensive business activities in Sweden. The population was 50 corporations and 18 companies participated in our survey.</p><p>As a result of our research, we have been able to add a new dimension to the International Structural Stages Model, the Information-Processing-Need dimension. </p><p>Keywords: Matrix, International Structural Stages Model, process model, structure and organization</p>

What happens with company culture when high and low masculine cultures merge? A case study of the Joint Venture Sony Ericsson

Ohlsson, Caroline, Odelj, Sanja January 2007 (has links)
<p>In today’s global market, international mergers are very common. Different companies with various cultures, start working together. There is a limited amount of literature about what really happens with the company culture when companies merge. There are also few case studies on culture integration of merging companies. Therefore, we would like to make such study and Sony Ericsson provides us with a perfect case, because of their cultural background. </p><p>The purpose with our dissertation is to investigate what happens with company culture when a company with high masculinity and a company with low masculinity merge. To study this subject we will try to identify important dimensions concerning masculinity and to develop hypotheses about what happens with company culture when the companies merge. Empirically, we want to try this theory by investigate the company culture, with focus on masculinity, at Sony Ericsson today, five years after their merger. Since Sony and Ericsson have roots in Japan and Sweden and these two countries are very dissimilar when it comes to company culture and the level of masculinity, this specific company provide us with the perfect example to study.</p><p>We have made a qualitative study at Sony Ericsson, because our research is descriptive. We conducted an interview and interviewed five persons at Sony Ericsson, one woman and four men. </p><p>After conducting our study we have concluded that the integration of masculinity at Sony Ericsson has been very successful. There have been no major culture shocks, according to our respondents.</p><p>Keywords: Merger, Company Culture, Masculinity</p>

To move or not to move, that is the question! - The new phenomenon of BrainDrain within developed countries --A German and Dutch case study -

Benefader, Verena, den Boer, Karen January 2007 (has links)
<p>BrainDrain has traditionally been connected with the migration of academics from</p><p>developing towards developed countries. Nowadays, on the contrary, also</p><p>developed countries suffer from BrainDrain. A new phenomenon of migration</p><p>within the developed countries has come to existence. This phenomenon is in</p><p>contradiction with the traditional theories about BrainDrain, which state that the</p><p>difference in financial opportunities is the main cause of the migration of</p><p>academics. So far, there has been very little research towards the causes of the</p><p>new phenomenon of BrainDrain. The purpose of this dissertation is to provide</p><p>deeper insights of the reasons of the migrants who move within the developed</p><p>countries.</p><p>The migration from Germany and Holland to Sweden is used as a case study.</p><p>Interviews with German and Dutch emigrants are applied to collect the</p><p>information for this investigation.</p><p>The main reasons for migration are the labor conditions, the natural environment</p><p>and the dissatisfaction with the society of the home country. These reasons</p><p>belong to the highest layer in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, namely selfactualization.</p><p>Remarkably, the emigrants expect to earn less in the country of</p><p>migration. However, the emigrants expect to have a better work-life-balance, for</p><p>example less stressful job conditions and better possibilities for a comfortable life</p><p>in the host country. Social contacts in the host country, positive experiences of</p><p>other emigrants and the easiness of finding a job are the most important</p><p>encouraging factors during the process of migration.</p>

Den interna kontrollens förankring i kommunen

Al-said, Nareman January 2007 (has links)
<p>De senare års skandaler i offentliga organisationer har ökat kraven på att kontrollen av medborgarnas resurser förvaltas på så sätt som är lagstadgat och effektivt. För att kunna få den interna kontrollen förankrad krävs det ökad dialog och kommunikation mellan kommunens olika avdelningar. </p><p>Ansvaret för den interna kontrollen måste klargöras så att alla berörda inom organisationen vet vad som gäller vid utförandet av kontrollen.</p><p>I min studie har jag använt mig av att gå djupare in i problematiken intern kontroll. Jag har utgått från en fallstudie med en deduktiv ansats. Den teori som jag har använt mig av är agentprincipalteorin och den modell som användes för att underlätta min forskning kallas för COSO-modellen.</p>
