  1. 6. A Lighter Shade of Dark : Exploring the Value Adding and Value Subtracting Effects of Headquarters Attention and Involvement in Subsidiary Activities

    Författare :Amalia C. Nilsson; Henrik Dellestrand; Francesco Ciabuschi; Ram Mudambi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; multinational corporation; headquarters-subsidiary relationship; attention-based view; parenting; issue selling;

    Sammanfattning : Headquarters of multinational corporations are presented with a diverse range of stimuli that influences the issues that they pay attention to and ultimately get involved in. However, headquarters have to prioritize since their attention and resources are limited, and they cannot pay attention to all issues and get equally involved in all subsidiaries. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Managing uncertainties in geotechnical parameters : From the perspective of Eurocode 7

    Författare :Anders Prästings; Stefan Larsson; Johan Spross; Rasmus Müller; Kok-Kwang Phoon; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Eurocode 7; Characteristic value; Partial-factor method; Reliability-based design; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Geotechnical engineering is strongly associated with large uncertainties. Geotechnical site investigations are made only at discrete points and most of a soil volume is never tested. A major issue is therefore how to cost effectively reduce geotechnical uncertainties with respect to structural performance. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Tools for Evaluating Energy Efficiency of Steel Production : Lessons from Sweden and Europe

    Författare :Johannes Morfeldt; Semida Silveira; Mats Söderström; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy efficiency; indicators; iron and steel sector; systems analysis; energieffektivitet; indikatorer; järn- och stålsektorn; systemanalys; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The European Union faces challenges related to climate change, security of energy supply, and competitiveness of European industries. Energy efficiency indicators are required for monitoring and controlling the effectiveness of policies such as the recently endorsed Energy Efficiency Directive. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Analysing strategic energy-related investments in process industries : applied studies at a pulp and board mill

    Författare :Magnus Karlsson; Lars J. Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MIND; Industrial energy systems; Investment; pulp and paper; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : The potential to reduce energy demand in industrial applications is often substantiaL Since energy cost represents a considerable share of the value added in several categories of process industries, a great potential exists for cutting costs through investment, for instance in energy efficiency improvements. However, industrial energy systems form complex relations not only within the industrial unit, but also in the interaction with their surroundings. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Paving the way for green qualities -Role of Environmental Assessment

    Författare :Sara Khoshkar; Berit Balfors; Lennart Folkeson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Urban green space; urban densification; sustainable planning; environmental assessment; planning practice;

    Sammanfattning : Implementing urban development projects in planning practice while simultaneously providing sufficient green spaces has proven to be challenging. As a result, there is a growing need for practical approaches and tools for the integration of urban green qualities in the on-going densification of cities. LÄS MER
