Social Responsibility(SR)is gathering accumulative attentionrecently.It has become a key criterion of business campaign among companies.This thesis studiesthe current SR performancein two branch companies inAtlas Copco (China), Atlas Copco (Nanjing) Construction and Mining Equipment Ltd. andWuxi Pneumatech Air/Gas Purity Equipment Ltd.Interviews were made separately with company staff, including employees from management level and staff from workshop. ISO 26000 was adoptedas aguiding standard when conducting SR investigation and following analysing work.Core subjects of ‘Labour Practices’, ‘the Environment’ and ‘Community involvement and development’ in ISO 26000 were thethreeresearching aspects in the work. For each detailed actions and expectations in the subject, particular comments and acorresponding rating score aregiven according to its status quo. These rating scoresare utilized in the gap analysing process to illustrate the differences between the current SR situation and theexpectations illustrated in ISO 26000.Moreover, the disparity between twoselected companies is alsodefined by illustrating theirfinal scores on each issueina radar chart.As a result from the assessment,bothcompanies have a far way to go to entirely accomplish ISO 26000’s requirements. For the core subject which is strong at, their current measures need to be kept and finely turned; for the weak core subjects, more attentions should be attracted and concrete actions should be conducted.

Finding the appropriate level of text for students with varying reading abilities is an important and demanding task for teachers. Radar chart visualisations of text complexity could potentially be an aid in that process, but they need to be evaluated to see if they are intuitive and if they say something about the complexity of a text. This study explores how visualisations of text complexity, in the format of radar charts, are interpreted, what measures they should include and what information they should contain in order to be intelligible for teachers who work with people who have language and/or reading diffi- culties. A preliminary study and three focus group sessions were conducted with teachers from special education schools for adults and gymnasium level. Through thematic analysis of the sessions, five themes were generated and it was found that the visualisations are intelligible to some extent, but they need to be adapted to the target group by making sure the measures are relevant, and that the scale, colours, categories and measures are clearly explained. / Det är både en viktig och krävande uppgift för lärare att hitta lämplig textnivå för elever med varierande läsförmågor. Radardiagramsvisualiseringar av textkomplexitet kan poten- tiellt stötta den processen, men de måste utvärderas för att undersöka om de är intuitiva, vilka mått som bör inkluderas samt om de säger något om komplexiteten av en text. Den här studien utforskar hur visualiseringar av textkomplexitet i form av radardiagram tolkas, vilka mått de bör inkludera samt vilken information de bör innehålla i syfte att vara begripliga för lärare som jobbar med elever med språk och/eller lässvårigheter. En förundersökning och tre fokusgruppsessioner utfördes, med lärare från särgymnasium och särvuxskolor. Efter tematisk analys av data från fokusgrupperna genererades fem teman. Reultaten visade att visualiseringarna var begripliga till viss del, men de behöver anpassas till målgruppen genom att se till att måtten är relevanta samt att skalan, färgerna, kategorierna och måtten är tydligt förklarade.
