Temat för årets Rausingsymposium är ”att skapa ett toppuniversitet”. Kanske tänker vi först och främst på den forskning – av hög kvalitet naturligtvis – som pågår på det aktuella universitetet och resulterar i en ranking bland de främsta. Men, vilken är undervisningens och studenternas roll för att utgöra ett toppuniversitet?

The increasing global demand for sustainable energy has sparked interest in combining renewable technologies to leverage their synergies. This thesis presents a pre-feasibility study of a combined offshore wind and wave energy farm located off the coast of Galicia, Spain. In collaboration with Wavepiston, a Danish developer of wave energy converters (WECs), the study evaluates the integration of t

The preaching event is a complex process of communication and interpretation. The aim of this study is to describe and discuss how the preaching event is affected when it is digitally mediated and involves so-called “religious digital creatives” (RDCs). This is achieved through a case study of the preaching event at two Church of Sweden (CoS) congregations that offered pre-recorded, digitally medi

Audio localization often utilizes arrays of microphones to estimate the origin of sounds, where the recorded audio is usually processed on one central machine. In this thesis, the goal is instead to perform audio localization with dual microphones on distributed body worn cameras, where transmission of recorded audio is not permitted. Therefore, two separate algorithms are created: One performs d

This thesis explores how Ukrainian refugee entrepreneurs mobilize social capital to establish transnational ventures in Poland following the 2022 Russian invasion. While transnational entrepreneurship has received growing academic attention, limited research exists on how forced migrants leverage social ties across borders under conditions of displacement and war. Drawing on ten semi-structured in

This thesis explores the antecedents and consequences of introducing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)-based agents into organizational teams, with a comparative focus on New Venture Teams (NVTs) and Established Venture Teams (EVTs) in the B2B SaaS sector. Drawing on the Input-Mediator-Output-Input (IMOI) framework, the study employs a multiple-case qualitative design, analyzing 14 semi-struct

Denna avhandling undersöker hur konsultföretags mål för mångfald och inkludering (D&I) överensstämmer med etniska minoritetsanställdas upplevda erfarenheter i en nordisk kontext. Även om många organisationer har infört D&I-program visar forskning att sådana initiativ riskerar att bli symboliska om de inte är genuint integrerade i företagskulturen. Med hjälp av fallstudier från CGI, DeloitThis thesis examines how the diversity and inclusion (D&I) objectives of consulting firms align with the lived experiences of ethnic minority employees in the Nordic context. While many organisations have implemented D&I programs, research indicates that such initiatives risk becoming symbolic if not genuinely embedded in company culture. Drawing on case studies from CGI, Deloitte, and EY,

In a VUCA world, characterized by complex, unpredictable, ambiguous and rapidly changing conditions, organizations and their managers are constantly faced with interpreting and responding to disruption. While research has investigated how disruption can be navigated, the perspective of how individual managers more concretely navigate disruption remains comparatively underexplored. The purpose

The life science industry has strong female representation at entry levels, yet women remain underrepresented in senior leadership roles. A range of structural and cultural barriers contribute towards this imbalance, one of which is the enduring association between leadership and masculine-coded traits. Masculine-coded traits, often termed as agentic (e.g., assertiveness and dominance), are often

Over the past few decades, employee engagement has been increasingly recognised as a key driver of organisational success. Although previous research has examined psychological and organisational factors influencing engagement, few studies have examined how it varies over time. This study explores the dynamic and sustainable aspects of employee engagement in Swedish organisations, focusing on how

Our thesis investigates the effects that strategies aligned with resonance theory have on organisations when they are used to adapt to technical acceleration. To do so, we use retrospective case studies and qualitative interviews to understand how organisations adapted to the rapid implementation of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. We analyse internal methods of adapt

Given that creative outcomes constitute a critical competitive factor in the creative sector, they also represent an essential resource in a rapidly evolving and innovation-driven market. This motivates an in-depth analysis of the forces that either enable or inhibit creativity. This study examines the influence of management and leadership on creatives in creative industries and identifies factor
