Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between post merger financial performance and customer reactions on M&As, as well as how the issues of strategic relationships, integration, marketing, and human resources influence these customer reactions. Method: One of the main reasons why M&A research lacks so much of customer reactions is that the methodological main
Free movement of labour and open borders are one of the main principles of the European Union. Workers can relatively easy relocate in the search for new job opportunities and firms compete internationally for productive labour. Corporate taxes affect firms’ profits, and also their investment decisions. The costs associated with employment on the other hand have not been studied to the same extent
This thesis presented an in-depth qualitative case study of the peace process between the Colombian state and the FARC guerrilla from 2012 and onwards.

The inefficacy problem refers to the paradox in collective harm problems where effects of individual actions appear too small to make a moral difference, albeit aggregated they cause great harm.

By re
Denna uppsats undersöker reformen om snabbare lagföring i det svenska rättssystemet och dess påverkan på rättssäkerheten för misstänkta. Reformen infördes i syfte att effektivisera rättsprocessen för enklare brott, såsom snatteri, ringa narkotikabrott och trafikförseelser, genom att minska handlägg- ningstiderna och förbättra myndighetssamverkan. Genom en rättsdogmatisk metod analyseras lagtext, pThis thesis looks at the reform called “snabbare lagföring” (faster prosecution) in the Swedish legal system.

This thesis examines whether implied volatility derived from Swedish equity options provides superior predictive information relative to historical volatility for future realized volatility and stock returns, and whether this information improves portfolio risk outcomes. Using monthly option and stock data for OMXS30 firms, the study applies predictive regressions and constructs minimum variance p
In recent times, the applications and interest in the flexoelectric properties of nanoscale materials have become increasingly prominent. Here, we investigate the interplay between flexoelectricity and electronic correlations at various degrees of bending using the Hubbard model with the Hartree-Fock approximation. The study focuses primarily on hollow periodic cylindrical lattices of various size
Tuberculosis (TB) affects millions of people annually and remains one of the leading causes of infectious diseases-related deaths in the world. Current anti-TB treatment consists of a prolonged regimen of multiple antibiotics, which effectively eliminates the bacteria when it is not antibiotic resistant. However, large proportions of the TB-treated individuals experience persistent pulmonary dysfu

Thermo Fisher Scientific manufacture automatic pipetting instruments for diagnostic tests. These tests are sensitive to abnormalities and changes in e.g. volume or density could potentially lead to less precision or other issues in the pipetting work flow. Utilizing data collected from a pressure sensor inside the pipette could be a way of automatically verifying different aspects related to the p

Educational development initiatives in the form of short-lived, isolated pedagogical courses may at best change the thinking and practice of a few pioneers, and then perhaps only temporarily. It is only possible to successfully address the need that such initiatives are intended to meet if the impact is lasting and effects a cultural change locally at the university. In this study, we look beyond
