Hur vet vi vad som pågår i en social situation? Hur orienterar vi oss i de regler, normer och förväntningar som präglar möten mellan människor? Och vad händer när dessa förståelser utmanas eller bryts? Dessa frågor står i centrum för ramanalys.I Inramningar – att förstå och använda ramanalytiska perspektiv introduceras ramanalys som teori och metod. Med Erving Goffmans klassiska verk Frame Analysis som gemensam utgångspunkt visar bokens kapitel hur ramar fungerar som organiserande principer för mänsklig samvaro – hur de både skapar stabilitet och öppnar för osäkerhet, förhandling och förändring.Genom en kombination av teoretiska resonemang och empiriska exempel belyser antologin hur ramanalytiska perspektiv kan förstås och användas i praktiken. Bidragen spänner över flera samhällsvetenskapliga discipliner och behandlar teman som grupp, makt, identitet, utbildning, konst och politik.Boken erbjuder en samlad introduktion till ramanalysens centrala begrepp och en fördjupning i dess analytiska och metodologiska möjligheter. Den vänder sig till studenter och forskare som vill förstå, utveckla och tillämpa ramanalytiska perspektiv.

Examination Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 07, University of Southern Denmark, language: English, abstract: What are the most important steps for a Headquarter to be successful with a foreign subsidiary? Which role do cultural differences play within the integration process of HQ and subsidiary? Wal-Mart, the world's most powerful and largest retailer, is intensifying its activities in India. After failing with a Joint Venture with an Indian company, its subsidiary Best Price Modern Wholesale is now focusing on the Indian wholesale sector, instead of the end consumers. This topic is of relevance because Multinational Corporations (MNC) often forget to integrate their subsidiaries, especially the foreign subsidiaries. The integration is of importance because it generates a successful flow. Therefore this report will focus on Wal-Mart as the Headquarter and takes a closer look at its acceptance and integration of a foreign market. Best Price Modern Wholesale is a subsidiary of Wal-Mart and is a perfect case of how a subsidiary integration process can fail and how to manage the failure towards possible success.
