The constant debate over corporations’ responsibility towards shareholders or stakeholders has provided opinions in excess, though answer few, especially in the context of emerging markets, namely, BRICS. This paper advocates a stakeholder approach that goes hand in hand with corporations’ economic motive. Through the assessment framework developed in the empirical study, an analysis of CSR activi

The assumption of positive effects of democratic reform has come to underlie much of the West’s policy recommendations for developing countries. However, following democratization, many countries have experienced upsurges in corruption levels, undermining the democratic process. This thesis explores the possibility of a nonlinear link between democracy and corruption. If democratization and reduct
People, today, use the Internet more and more for everything and there are courses on different aspects of our Internet use: social media, leadership, and networks. However, there is not much said about volunteering online, despite many active online volunteers who work several hours each day. It is relevant to know what inspires and motivates a person to volunteer to keep him or her motivated to
Bakgrunden och idén till denna studie väcktes då jag genomförde en studie med Malmö Regions 150 chefer och lagledare under min praktik på Posten. Resultatet visade bland annat att endast 27 procent av Malmö Regions chefer och lagledare är kvinnor. Resultatet förvånade mig. Min första tanke var att en av landets största offentliga organisationer borde ha en hög andel kvinnliga chefer och visa ett
Turkey, similar to other least developed countries, entered into demographic transition process in the second half of 20th century. However, the transition process was not experienced at the same time and in the same way across different regions of the country. The aim of this study is to reveal the determinants of fertility transition and regional fertility variation in Turkey. The period under c
This study examines the special for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the European Union (EU) provided for in the Sixth Directive and the VAT Directive.

Since the China Maritime Arbitration Commission (CMAC) was established in 1959, it has been more than 50 years for both China and CMAC in developing China’s Maritime Arbitration. From the basic point of view, it would be easily expected that the arbitration institutions of China could accept and hear a lot of maritime cases every year due to its advantages in coastal geography and developed intern
ABL 2005 är i sin nuvarande lydelse en omfattande och i många hänseenden detaljerad lag. Regleringen om skadestånd är dock relativt begränsad genom sitt ursprung i allmänna skadeståndsrättsliga principer. Ett aktiebolag och de spörsmål som hanteras där är unika. Detta kräver därför en skadeståndsreglering som är anpassad efter aktiebolagets karaktäristik. Frågan är om den konventionella culpanormeThe Swedish corporation law is an extensive and detailed regulation as it appears in its’ present meaning. However, the regulation regarding damages is relatively limited through its origin in general regulations of damages. The questions raised within a corporation are in many ways unique, and should therefore qualify for a specially customized regulation regarding damages. The question is whethe
Earning gaps between natives and immigrants in Sweden have been a widely discussed issue in the literature. The previous studies that examined the wage gaps mostly focused on educational attainment, tenure, generation of immigrants and ethnic origins. The distribution of immigrants’ income within different labor market sectors is almost unexplored. The paper analyzes several determinants of income
Lake Urema Wetland - literally and geographically the heart of Gorongosa National Park in central Mozambique and its main source of fresh water, is evidently vital for the ecosystem of the park, including all of its inhabitants. The extension area of Lake Urema Wetland varies strongly throughout the year, following a natural seasonal cycle. However, year to year deviations, together with the fact
Bostadsmarknaden i Sverige påminner idag mycket om den marknad som sågs i de flesta länder före finanskrisen 2007. Priserna på bostäder har stigit kraftigt och bolånemarknaden kännetecknas av hög skuldsättningsgrad med korta räntebindningar och små amorteringar. Det liknande mönstret väcker oro och spekulationer om en eventuell prisbubbla på den svenska bostadsmarknaden. En bubbla kännetecknas av
This paper consists of an analysis of two film adaptations, the documentary Lasermannen- dokumentären (Tamas/Dixelius,Sweden,2005) and the TV- series Lasermannen (Maricimain,Sweden,2005) based on the documentary novel Lasermannen - En berättelse om Sverige by Gellert Tamas. Its purpose is to find out in which ways the written text is translated into film and how these translations effect the repre
During the contemporary crisis in Europe, a heated debate has started as how Europe has to become more efficient and what Europe has to do to improve its position and achieve economic growth again. The sector that has receive much attention is the financial one, while in the “real“ economy, labor rigidities have been thought for many years as an obstacle to European economic growth. The study exam
Alltför ofta väljer vi ett mindre gott istället för ett större gott, enbart på grund av att det mindre goda ligger närmare i framtiden, och alltför ofta skulle vi föredra att ett större ont inträffat oss i det förgångna än att behöva uppleva ett mindre ont i framtiden. Detta kallar filosofer för tidspartiskheter, den första benämns som partiskhet mot det nära i framtiden, och den andra benämns somAll too often we find ourselves choosing a lesser good instead of a greater good, due to the mere fact that the lesser good is closer in the future, and all too often we find ourselves preferring that greater suffering has happened in the past rather than us having to experience small suffering in the future. Philosophers call this phenomena time biases, the first bias is called the bias towards t
Värdepappersmarknaden har idag stor betydelse för samhällets ekonomiska tillväxt och utveckling. På börserna världen över sammanlänkas olika aktörer och investerare för att omfördela risk och kapital. På värdepappersmarknaden återfinns också det brott som kallas för otillbörlig marknadspåverkan. En del aktörer försöker nämligen att manipulera och missbruka marknaden av olika anledningar. För att f

Motivation was measured using “Achievement Goal Questionnaire” and theoretical background on motivation was oriented in “Achievement Goal Theory”. “Mastery goal orientation” (goal to develop ability) was hypothesized
En kulturhistorisk undersökning om samspelet mellan press och politik. Rapporteringen om kejsarinnan Elisabeth av Österrikes mord jämförs i fyra olika tidningar: Aftonbladet, Svenska Dagbladet, Arbetet och Brand.
The point of departure for this Master’s thesis is twofold. First, the authors notice an apparent shift in focus, from collections towards the audiences, which has affected the international museum sector during the last decades. Second, they notice a change in the discourse concerning the cultural sector towards interpreting issues in economic terms. The development of the British method Generic
