“Think global, act local” is an often-heard statement. But how can you act local if you are not aware of the local culture, how it affects consumer behaviour, how to adapt to and be respectful of local contexts? In this course, you will learn about international diversity in consumer behaviour and marketing management, and you will learn to analyse various contexts in which this understanding is helpful.

This is a self-study course which means that the student takes full responsibility for reading the instructions given, finding the assigned literature, following through on assignments and performing the digital exam. The role of the course teacher is not to give personal guidance to the student. The course requires previous knowledge of basics in marketing and skills to work independently on different tasks.

As a self-learning course, the course tests your ability to think about and reflect on your learning, to set your own deadlines and goals, and to be motivated to learn by self-studying. The course can be taken in either Period 2 (P2) or Summer period 2 (S2).

Kursen erbjuder en modern introduktion till ekonometrin med tyngdpunkten på ekonometriska metoder tillämpade på verkliga ekonomiska problem. Metoderna som tas upp på kursen är motiverade av de problem som uppkommer vid analys av ickeexperimentella ekonomiska data. På kursen behandlas ekonometriska metoder för tvärsnitts- och tidsseriedata.

Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize the employment of technology. Quantum computers are no longer far away in the future - the new era has already begun! We have possibly achieved quantum advantage recently and the most interesting applications are around the corner.

Foreshadowing the quantum wake-up on the legal arena, this course covers a novel approach on quantum computing to law. The aim is to give a general overview of the quantum technology within the framework of law, economics, and society.

The focus will be on commercial applications employing quantum computing, such as pharmaceuticals, materials discovery, banking and finance, intellectual property rights, advanced manufacturing, and contracting. We will further discuss the application to climate change (ESG strategies), security, and defense, as well as contracting and quantum natural language processing within legal design.

It is intended to understand the quantum impact on the application and practice of law and the working of societies - both on the national and international level. Consequently, quantum progress brings up several open legal and ethical questions that call for discussion.

Scientific Framework:
The theory and substance part will involve reading and discussing scholarship from legal and economic science on quantum computing. Further, legal design framework of applications and implications of quantum computing to law, economics and society will be analyzed.

We will cover, among others, concepts of:
1. Quantum Computing in a Nutshell: From Bits to Qubits
2. Applications and Implications of Quantum Computing to Law, Economics and Society
A. Pharmaceuticals Discoveries
B. IPR and Materials Discovery Process
C. Banking and Finance
D. Cybersecurity and Quantum-Safe Encryption
E. Security and Defense
F. Advanced Manufacturing
G. Climate Change

II. Quantum Computing in the Legal Design Framework

• You will acquire knowledge of general terminology and principles of quantum computing.
• During the lessons, you will learn how quantum computing can improve business operations and what effects we expect to see in different business sectors.
• You will learn how quantum is anticipated to affect the legal arena and what anticipatory measures can be taken.

On this course, you will learn what is meant by the circular economy and why it is needed. In addition you will acquire a deeper appreciation of the importance and opportunities of the circular economy through four different subject areas and at the same time gain a comprehensive picture of the practical applications of the circular economy. As multidisciplinarity, shared expertise and systems thinking are strongly linked to the circular economy, the course is constructed taking these perspectives into account.
After completing the course, you will be able to understand the problems of today’s consumption of resources and how the circular economy can help in resolving these problems become familiar with approaches that could promote the circular economy
create a vision of practical activities that could be undertaken by different sectors to promote the circular economy.
