    Reaktiveringsmejl: En metod för ökad lönsamhet?2018Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Even though e-retail has increased over the last few decades, the conversion rate for online stores in the fashion segment is still relatively low. This might be due to a phenomenon called “shopping cart abandonment”, which means that online customers place products in their virtual carts but never follow through with a purchase. There are many reasons why customers balk before the very last click. One of the more common causes is that the preferred payment option is not available. However, since all cases of shopping cart abandonment mean lost sales, it is important for online companies to work towards a higher conversion rate since even the smallest increase in completed purchases results in increased profitability. Therefore, it should be of interest for all online enterprises to establish procedures to ensure that customers will complete their online purchases. One way to do this is to remind the customers via e-mail about the products in the abandoned cart, which is called reactivation e-mails, and basically means that online companies send e-mails to the customers who abandoned their virtual carts. The main focus for this thesis is reactivation e-mails, with the purpose to examine how online enterprises in the fashion and textile segment use reactivation e-mails and if they have seen an increase in their conversion rate. To fulfill the purpose, companies within the chosen segment that offer online retail to their customers, have been interviewed about the subject and the findings show that the use of these e-mails is an effective way to increase the conversion rate and decrease the occurrence of shopping cart abandonment. Two different methods for data collection have been used for this study. Firstly, an experiment was conducted among e-commerce companies within the selected segment in order to determine how common it is to use reactivation emails. Secondly, telephone interviews were conducted with several of these companies to gain a deeper understanding of reactivation emails. The results of this survey show that the use of these emails is not very common, but it is clearly a very effective way to reduce the occurrence of shopping cart abandonment. It also increases conversion rates and given the relatively low cost to implement, it should be embraced industry wide.

    Från tyst vår till het sommar: att implementera hållbar utveckling vid ett akademiskt lärosäte2018Report (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Agenda 2030 formulerar målen för en hållbar utveckling och en hållbar värld. Det är snart 2030 och mycket behöver göras för att nå målen och skapa ekonomisk stabilitet, samhällelig rättvisa och begränsa klimatförändringarna. Vi lägger bakom oss en onormalt het och torr sommar och en stark bekräftelse på att någonting inte står rätt till. Alla har ansvar för att bidra till att vända utvecklingen, inte minst universitet och högskolor som institutioner har en synnerligen viktig uppgift att i utbildning, forskning, samverkan och på campus fokusera på hållbar utveckling. För tio år sedan skedde en satsning vid Högskolan i Borås med målsättningen att bli bäst på hållbar utveckling och ett föredöme för andra, men framför allt att bidra, på det sätt en högskola måste, till en hållbar utveckling. I rapporten beskrivs utgångspunkter för utvecklingsarbetet, hur högskolan har gått tillväga, vilka resultat som uppnåtts, förklaringar till framgångar och motgångar och vad som är nästa steg för att bli det hållbara lärosätet. Ett fortsatt oförtrutet arbete behöver bedrivas, nya ambitiösa mål och strategier formuleras och alltfler studenter och medarbetare engageras. Rapporten är författad av Björn Brorström och Birgitta Påhlsson, som både varit aktiva i det förändringsarbete som har bedrivits.

    Cargo theft at non-secure parking locations2013Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose of this paper This paper describes the patterns of and trends in reported cargo thefts at non-secure parking facilities in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) with respect to stolen value, frequency, incident category, and modi operandi. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on a system-theoretical approach, which emphasizes a holistic rather than an atomistic view. The research method used in this paper is deductive; the analysis is based on the data obtained from the Incident Information Service (IIS), a transport-related crime database of the Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) in the EMEA. The results are analyzed and discussed within a frame of reference based on supply chain risk management and criminology theories. Findings We found that 97 percent of all attacks during a stop occur at non-secure parking locations. Cargo theft at non-secure parking locations is more of a volume crime rather than a high-impact cargo theft. Seasonal variations were found in cargo thefts at non-secure parking locations. The most common type of cargo theft at non-secure parking areas is intrusion theft occurring on weekdays during the winter. Research limitations/implications (if applicable) This study performs a theoretical deduction using official statistics on antagonistic threats. Its geographical limitation to the EMEA is owing to the limitations of the database used, although its frame of reference can be employed to analyze antagonistic threats against transport chains globally. This study is limited by the content of and classifications within the TAPA EMEA IIS database; nevertheless, this database is the best, with most reports originating from the industry (TAPA members anonymously report their losses). Practical implications (if applicable) The research presented in this paper is directly relevant to the current discussion in the EU regarding the creation of a large number of secure parking facilities in the region. This paper’s findings will describe the current cargo theft threats at non-secure parking facilities. What is original/value of paper This is one of the first papers in the field of supply chain risk management to employ actual crime statistics reported by the industry to analyze the occurrence of cargo theft by focusing on the non-secure parking element of the transport chain.

    ”Det är en manlig position att vara chef”: Kvinnors upplevelser av att vara mellanchef i privat sektor2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Det råder än idag segregation på arbetsmarknaden mellan män och kvinnor, inte minst gällande chefspositioner. Trots att vi kommit en lång bit på vägen i jämställdhetsarbetet så finns det mycket kvar att göra. Forskning visar att kvinnliga stereotypa egenskaper är efterfrågade inom chefsrollen, dock ser vi att det fortfarande finns en tydlig snedfördelning mellan könen. Syftetär att öka förståelsen för hur mellanchefer inom privat sektor ser på sin yrkesroll samt upplever möjligheter och hinder till att utvecklas inom den. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats där empirin samlades in med hjälp av sex semistrukturerade intervjuer. Urvalet var kvinnliga mellanchefer inom diverse branscher som arbetar inom privat sektor. Med hjälp av tidigare forskning och teori har vi fått en större förståelse för den empiriska datan som samlades in. De teorier som har behandlas är: beständig ojämlikhet, glastak samt genussystem och genuskontrakt. Resultatet av studien visar att kvinnorna upplever fler hinder än möjligheter till att utvecklas. Centralt var att kvinnorna upplevde abstrakta hinder vilket visar på förekomsten av glastak inom organisationerna. Det framkommer även att kvinnorna är nöjda i sin yrkesroll och accepterar de hinder som finns. Den aspekten har tolkats som en naturlig följd av genuskontraktet där kvinnorna efterföljer de normativa beteenden som förväntas av dem. En återkommande upplevelse av kvinnorna var förväntningen från cheferna att konstant vara tillgänglig och där hanteringen skilde sig åt. Genomgående för studiens resultat var att det fanns en avsaknad av ett aktivt stöd från deras chefer vilket resulterade i ett eget ansvar för sin utveckling i sin yrkesroll. Det övergripande resultatet av studien bekräftar teorier och tidigare forskning då vi kan se att det än idag råder ojämställdhet på arbetsmarknaden.

    African Second-hand Clothes: Mima-te and the development of sustainable fashion2015In: Routledge Handbook of Sustainability and Fashion, Abingdon, Oxon: Routledge , 2015, p. 91-99Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    A vast surplus of unwanted clothing is produced from excessive consumption in the Global North where a far greater volume of second-hand clothing is collected than can be locally retailed in charity shops or as ‘vintage fashion’. The majority of collected second-hand clothes are exported and sold overseas in market places in the developing world, with diverse and disputed economic and cultural effects. We discuss an African fashion brand, Mima-te which is collecting American and European second-hand clothes found in the markets of Maputo, Mozambique and up-cycling them, creating value and crafting new fashion.

    e-Power to the People: a Driver for Cross Sector Regional Development in Europe2010Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This position paper introduces the project ISSI – Citizen Centric Public Service in Sparsely Populated Areas. In the project we are applying the citizen value model, to improve interaction between citizens and municipal authorities as well as within and between municipal authorities, aiming at a major improvement of the level of service for citizens and SMEs in the sparsely populated northern municipality of Örnsköldsvik. The project applies an adaptable and scalable comprehensive e-service model focusing on multi-functionality and cross-sector services – a new up- and running modular infrastructure for e-services The model is based on social media, an on-line community InneLandet, www.innelandet.se, driven by a private-public partnership, that will successively take over the project. Core concerns are individual and organizational participation, e-service literacy, citizen - authority dialogue, activity and flexibility – a new tool for implementing co-design as the next step in e-democracy. A special concern now is to increase the number of users in a higher pace

    FoU-projektet Social dokumentation: redogörelse för arbetet 2006-20082009Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Projektet startades 2004, då Sjuhäradskommunerna (Borås, Bollebygd, Herrljunga, Mark, Svenljunga,Tranemo, Ulricehamn) ville ha stöd i sitt arbete att dokumentera de sociala insatserna i äldreomsorgen. Syftet har varit att utveckla ökade kunskaper i social dokumentation, som i sin tur förväntades ge en kvalitetsutveckling i hjälpinsatserna och stödinsatserna i äldreomsorgen. Projektets mål var att utarbeta en eller flera modeller för social dokumentation och att implementera den framtagna modellen i kommunerna som medverkade. I denna rapport koncentrerar vi oss på implementeringen av arbetsmodellen som togs fram i projektet. Aktiviteter har varit: * Grundläggande utbildning för dokumentationsombud. * Löpande information om projektet. * Målstyrt arbetssätt * Föreläsningar om ”Ett socialt synsätt” * Broschyr till brukarna. * Nätverksbyggande. * Inspirationsdag för att coacha andra * Förläsning i ”Samtalet – vårt viktiga arbetsredskap i social dokumentation.” * 5 dagars utbildning i social dokumentation för enhetschefer. * Introduktionsfilm för nyanställda.

    "Follow the things": Donated fashion in a reuse mall context2017Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This study is inspired by the "follow the things" movement that trace and document the history and travels of ordinary consumer goods such as jeans, shopping bags, food, blouses or hair extensions (see http://followthethings.com/ for a collection of travel reports). Narratives about products' origins and transformations have become part of the discourse on sustainable consumption, and it has been suggested that the post consumption phases of goods should be included in these narratives (Gregson et al (2010). This study can be seen as a response to their call, and we start our inquiry at the containers for textile recycling at the ReTuna mall - the world's first mall for reused goods - (see www.retuna.se). The narratives of garments will be documented through interviews with the donors, and we will shadow the garments through the re-cycle process at the ReTuna mall. ReTuna Mall aims for reuse, i.e., to re-introduce disposed garments to the fashion consumers visiting the mall. Accordingly, some garments will re-enter the consumption phase, but most garments are likely to be sorted out and re-defined into other purposes than being wearable.

     

    Reuse is one of the most common strategies used by fashion companies in their attempt to make the supply chain sustainable (Kant Hvass, 2016). Obviously, reuse of fashion reduces the demand for new garments, which in turns reduce the negative environmental impact of the textile production processes (Woolridge, Ward, Phillips, Collins, & Gandy, 2006; Farrant, Olsen, & Wangel, 2010; Castellani, Sala, & Mirabella, 2015). Reuse of fashion goods has the same basic structure as that of waste management, i.e., organized in three separate phases: collection, sorting and reprocessing. The literature on reuse in general is extensive, and studies on fashion reuse have become popular too. To give some examples, studies of consumers fashion disposal behaviour concentrate in most cases on disposal channels, behavioural motivations, disposal reasons and demographics of consumers that behave in specified ways (Laitala, 2014). Studies that focus on donation of fashion as disposal method on the other hand (i.e. Ha-Brookshire and Hodges (2009), Ekström, Hjelmgren, and Salomonson (2015) describes general motives for the disposal, but do not uncover the actual process or the activities that are involved in the donation - i.e. why is the individual garment donated and how is the sorting performed. These type of questions are touched upon in studies of the practices of sorting (Jana M. Hawley, 2006; Botticello, 2012), but these do not follow the garments through the whole process. Of interest for us is also studies on waste management in general, e.g., Åkesson's (2012) study on how a disposed goods are transformed and given new meanings as they travel through the phases of reuse; that what is waste at one phase will transform into a resource in another. Disposed goods can also, with or without disassembling, re-appear in different shapes with different meanings at another stage in the process (Gregson, Crang, Ahamed, Akhter, & Ferdous, 2010).

     

    As stated above, we trace and document the travel of donated fashion garments through the collection, sorting and reprocessing activities at the mall. For each step we pose two major questions: what happens and who/what are involved in this. In doing so, we take on the ANT approach to our objects of study and consider non-humans as equally possible instigators of actions and inscribers of meaning as humans. From our literature review, we believe that our study provides a somewhat novel approach to fashion reuse, and that it has the potential to contribute to the growing body of knowledge of sustainable fashion.

    Abstract [en]

    This article reports on an empirical study of children’s librarians’ activities supporting the development of literacy among very young children. The theoretical framework stems primarily from a LIS practice-theoretical perspective where literacy is viewed as corporeal practice. The empirical material consists of a transcript from one focus-group interview with seven children’s librarians, and field notes from a series of seven documented observations of program sessions at three public libraries in Sweden. A qualitative content analysis was undertaken, and the empirical material was interpreted with an analytical focus on the concepts of literacy activities, embodiment, and literacy practices. The study shows how bodies act as sites of information and communication. Not only the bodies of the librarians but also the bodies of parents and the children acted as central sites, affecting literacy practices during library programs. The librarians express that their engagement in professional practice has resulted in a certain bodily sense for finding the right level of communicating with babies. The librarians have also learned to trust this embodied judgement as part of their professional expertise.

    Den fria tidens lärande2011Book (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Lärande är centralt i det mesta vi gör. Kanske särskilt under vår fritid. Den här boken handlar huvudsakligen om hur vi människor lär oss och tar samtidigt med tiden som en väsentlig faktor för lärande. Vårt sätt att förhålla oss till tid påverkar hur vi lär. Det som kallas den fria tiden skapar förutsättningar för lärande som skiljer sig från lärande inom ramen för mer styrd tid. Relaterade begrepp som informellt och formellt lärande diskuteras. Flera teorier om lärande beskrivs. Författaren använder en mängd exempel för att illustrera olika sätt att se på tid och lärande. De mest centrala delarna berör barns lärande inom fritidshem, förskola och skola, men även lärande i hemmiljö och platser där barn befinner sig på sin fritid. Boken vänder sig i första hand till lärare och andra professionella som arbetar med barn under deras fritid. Fritidshemmet diskuteras i ett eget kapitel men alla delar av boken är relevanta för fritidshemsverksamhet.

    Customer Perspective on Mass-customized Knitwear2012In: Fashion Practice: the journal of design, creative process & the fashion industry, ISSN 1756-9370, E-ISSN 1756-9389, Vol. 4, no 2, p. 177-196Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Knit on Demand is a research project at the Swedish School of Textiles in collaboration with the knitwear producer Ivanhoe AB and the fashion retailer SOMconcept. The background to the project is the unpredict- able fashion market where garments are often produced on a forecast and not on actual demand. The essence of Knit on Demand is to let the customers themselves design the garments. Sales started in SOMcon- cept’s store in PUB Huset, Stockholm, in September 2009 and ended in December 2010. The aim of this article is to find out what factors are crucial in the customer’s experience of buying a mass-customized garment. By interviewing customers about the customization process, analyzing customer orders, and observing the customization process conclusions can be drawn.

    Läsfrämjande som professionellt objekt: Rapport från fortbildning och följeforskning i ett interregionalt bibliotekssamarbete2020Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Rapporten presenterar projektet Läsfrämjande som professionellt objekt som genomförts under 2019 av lärare och forskare vid Högskolan i Borås på uppdrag av de regionala biblioteksverksamheterna i Dalarna, Uppsala, Västmanland, Örebro, Östergötland, Jönköping och Sörmland. Projektet har delvis tillkommit som ett svar på frågor och utmaningar som identifierades i tidigare utvecklingsprojektet Dela läslust 2017. Det rymmer en fortbildningsdel i kursform, med yrkesverksamma deltagare från folkbibliotek i nämnda regioner, och en följeforskningsdel där samma deltagare ingått i en empirisk studie. I denna rapport beskrivs, analyseras och utvärderas projektets samlade resultat.

    Kursen har innehållsligt behandlat praktiska erfarenheter av, och teorier om, läsning; läsfrämjande arbetsmetoder utifrån ett vidgat textbegrepp; studier om olika användargruppers medievanor; forskningsbaserade arbetssätt samt uthålligt förändringsarbete. Bredvid tre kursträffar med föreläsningar, diskussioner, workshops och muntliga presentationer, har kursen rymt tre webbseminarier. De 19 deltagarna har också bedrivit självständiga studier och skrivit ett kurspaper till stöd för sitt lärande och potentiellt även för verksamhetsutveckling på arbetsplatserna. Följeforskningen har haft analytiskt fokus på hur bibliotekens läsfrämjande arbete och dess utvecklingsmöjligheter förstås och beskrivs av kursdeltagarna. Underlaget för den löpande analysen har producerats kollektivt av högskolans representanter och, i viss mån, kursens deltagare.

    Studien visar bland annat att utgångspunkten för det läsfrämjande arbetet fortfarande i hög grad är den tryckta boken medan digitala metoder och medier ofta används och beskrivs som stödfunktioner och som ett medel för ökad tillgänglighet. Av analysen framgår också att egen läsning, som metod för professionell kompetensutveckling inom det läsfrämjande området, uppfattas som fundamental men ändå är svår att hinna med i verksamheter där främjande av andras läsning står i centrum. Ytterligare en svårighet som framträder i analysen är att åstadkomma en uthållig och rättvis utvärderingspraktik kring det läsfrämjande arbetet. Avslutningsvis diskuteras projektets utfall; ett antal utmaningar identifieras och omsätts i följande strategiska förslag till verksamhetsutveckling och fortsatt forskning:

    • strategisk förstärkning av det läsfrämjande arbetet med tydligare målformulering och prioritering gällande bibliotekens verksamhet;
    • adekvata, kvalitativa utvärderingsformer;
    • aktiva insatser för en breddning av det digitala arbetet - den traditionella mediehierarki som placerar den tryckta boken främst behöver problematiseras och balanseras;
    • fortsatt regionalt, men även lokalt, stöd till deltagargruppen för att tillvarata den kompetens som utvecklats inom projektet;
    • infrastrukturen för forskningsorienterat arbete (inklusive egen läsning) behöver stärkas och bli mer likvärdig mellan kommuner och arbetsplatser;
    • långsiktigt utvärderande följeforskning till stöd för den professionella bibliotekspraktiken

    Vanishing realities2012Other (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    With a belief that the core of fashion is to recreate the past in perfect congruence with the present together with a photo by Stefanie to set the mood we turned to Marcel Proust for guidance. In his novel In search of lost times Proust introduces the concept of involuntary memories. The taste of the Madeleine cookie evokes Swann’s involuntary memory of things that have vanished over times. How can we through fashion evoke involuntary memories? If the garments are vanishing into transparency will that evoke our involuntary memories of bodies and dresses. If only half a lapel is appearing will that evoke our involuntary memories of coats we used to wear? Isn’t a good piece of fashion one that reminds us of the past but at the same time gives us a feeling of being totally here now? Exploring the themes of form and memory through vanishing details and fabrics. This is carried out through the cuts in detail and silhouette and through the use of prints and ausbrenner treatment of the fabrics.

    Knowledges of Reading: An Analysis of Swedish Literature Policy 2012-20132018Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The paper explores problematisations of reading in current Swedish literature policy through a discourse analysis of the Swedish Government Commission report on Literature from 2012 and the following Government bill from 2013. The analysis focuses on problematisations of the reading citizen and the knowledge practices that have made these problematisations possible. A central problematisation is the declining reading literacy of children and youth, threatening children's learning and development; democracy; "the culture of reading"; Sweden's economic competitiveness; and the market for Swedish literature. This problematisation produce dividing practices around problematic non-readers and themore desirable readers. Other dividing practices can be identified around youth/adult, pupil/teacher, child/parent, and son/father where the latter should educate the former about the virtues of reading. Underpinning these problematisations are knowledge practices where instrumental policy actions, based on seemingly rational, objective, and empirical research is paired with humanistic building values.

    Equal Access or Empowerment?: Understanding youth participation in cultural institutions through two Swedish case studies.2019In: Conjunctions: transdisciplinary journal of cultural participation, E-ISSN 2246-3755, Vol. 6, no 1Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The concept of cultural participation is seldom defined in policy but carries a positive connotation. The aim of this article is to understand how participation is made meaningful by policy stakeholders, exemplified by a swedish municipality, with special attention directed towards two cultural institutions working to enhance young people’s participation. The analysis considered levels of interest in participation, from the policy level, managerial level and civil servant level. The analysis found the meaning of participation shifted from a focus on equal access to empowering young people as a marginalised group, mirroring theories of a shift from a cultural democratisation paradigm to a cultural democracy paradigm in cultural policy. The civil servants shared an understanding that it is possible to distribute power from adults to young people, but the overlap of the two paradigms in the goal of achieving participation resulted in tensions and paradoxes regarding the issue of negotiating power.

    The democratic value of participation in Swedish cultural policy2019In: Comunicação & Sociedade, ISSN 0101-2657, E-ISSN 2175-7755, Vol. 36, p. 81-99Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Through an exploration of Swedish cultural policy, this article analyses how policy legiti-mates its support for the arts and culture, and how “participation” is made meaningful in this process, to discuss how different understandings of culture and participation relate to changing notions of democratic governance in culture. The article discusses how an overarching discourse of culture as good, and therefore an interest in and responsibility for policy, can be understood as two discourses: 1) culture is good as it enables good things and 2) culture is good as it prevents bad things. These two discourses rest on different logics and “fixate” the concept of participa-tion in different ways but are constructed as if they were compatible. The meaning of democratic governance in culture is also differently interpreted in the two discourses – as either protection of autonomy, equality in access to culture, and participation as taking part, labelled a corporatist democracy, or as guaranteeing sustainable societies at risk, and participation as an equal pos-sibility to influence, labelled populist democracy. This break in discourse is interpreted as a sign of diminishing legitimacy of a corporatist discourse of democracy where experts have had the power to decide the content of cultural policy. The article partakes in a discussion on the role of participation and democracy in cultural policy.
