Den 31 mars 2016 träder en ny föreskrift, gällande organisatorisk och social arbetsmiljö, i kraft. Arbetsgivarens fria arbetsledningsrätt har sedan den fastställdes i den s.k. decemberkompromissen 1906 blivit allt mer begränsad. En oro finns att denna föreskrift kommer att begränsa arbetsgivares arbetsledningsrätt ytterligare. Genom lagstiftning inom bl.a. område för anställningsskydd, arbetsmiljöThe 31 of mars 2016 a new regulation about organizational and social working environment, enters into force. The free labor management right that employers have had since established in 1906 in the so-called “Decembercompromise” has become increasingly limited. Concerns are that this regulation will limit the employer´s labor management rights even more. The employer’s right to manage and distribu

Debt is commonly used by firms as a way of financing. Factors driving stock return have been the subject of numerous studies. Investors are constantly seeking ways to better understand stock return, which is where financial statements may provide them with relevant information. The presented research paper focuses on explaining whether there is a significant relationship between stock return and l

Technological development and capabilities are driving IT costs up for many manufacturing companies. The importance of having a lean and efficient IT organisation in place is therefore of increasing importance in order to control these costs. This study aims at investigating how large manufacturing companies most effectively can tackle the challenges of a growing pressure on the IT department to d

The aim of this study is to examine the determinants of capital structure via a cross-country comparison between the U.S.A. and Sweden. With the consideration of firm specific factors, the main focus is on researching country effect and macroeconomic impacts on firms’ financing policy. Including both country and macroeconomic factors in the research allows for having a new approach on the topic. T

Syfte: Studien ämnar undersöka ifall procent korrekt skattade kreditbetyg kan påvisas vara högre än vad tidigare forskning fastställt vid en branschspecifik undersökning av teknologibranschen samt allmännyttiga företag. Studien ämnar även, i samma kontext, undersöka om procent korrekt skattade kreditbetyg visar sig vara högre vid dessa två separata branschspecifika undersökningar än vid en undersöPurpose: The study aims to investigate if the percent correctly predicted credit ratings can be shown to be higher than previous research has established with an industry-specific survey of technology and utility companies. The study also aims to, in the same context, examine if the percent correctly predicted credit ratings proves to be higher in the these two separate industry-specific than in a

As a relatively new phenomenon, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already proven itself to carry the ability to transform modern-day society. With increased AI use becoming more and more prevalent, both its benefits and potential consequences come to light. Companies wishing to reap the benefits AI can offer also need to consider the possible risks associated with its adoption. Many companies decid

Purpose The aim of this thesis is to examine whether there is a significant correlation between use of Long-Term Incentive Programs and their Total Shareholder Returns within companies listed on the Nordic market. Furthermore, this study investigates if there is an existing correlation depending on which sector the firm operates in and if Long-Term Incentive Programs can affect their Shareholder r

Background: In a perfect world, a company would not have to keep any cash at all but because of market imperfections created by information asymmetries and agency problems it has to. Previous research has suggested that a firm’s cash holding level is related to its size, growth opportunities and leverage. The Swedish market is particularily interesting to study from a corporate governance perspect

PURPOSE: The main purpose of this thesis is to determine to what extent, if any, outsiders are able to obtain abnormal returns by mimicking the behaviour of insiders at the Swedish stock market prior to earnings announcement. By making separations this study will hopefully provide some advice when the abnormal returns are most likely to happen when outsiders mimic insiders. METHODOLOGY: This study

Research question: How does the use of key ratios differ between companies on the Stockholm Stock Exchange depending on a company's size, ownership structure and sector?

There has been a dramatic growth in organizations aiming to leverage the power of platform business models and capture the vast amounts of value stemming from external innovation. Thus, actors are required to open up their innovation processes to third-party developers, and make sure these external resources are incentivized to both enter and remain in the ecosystem. So far, there has been a limit

In this study I analyse models for computing the welfare costs of business fluctuations. Lucas’ (1987) model is very simple, as it only considers consumption fluctuations. The model proposed by Galí, Gertler and Lopez-Salido (2007) includes not only consumption fluctuations, but also fluctuations in hours worked. I apply variations of these models on Swedish data for the period 1970 – 2007. I also
