The landscape in question is a contemporary park found in Lund, Sweden, in the province of Skåne. Lurking beneath the spatial scenery of the park, histories of transgressed and repressed social formations are found. Stories that are buried in the depth of this landscape include a landfill, a commons, that was enclosed, and a sacred water that later was transformed into something very close to a flush toilet for the globally expanding local industries. According to some philologists this toxic sludge hole is synonymous with the wellspring of Lund. The crucial point of this study is that ideas materialize in the landscape. Some of these are seemingly prone to stability and justice, whilst others are seemingly prone to risk and unfettered capital accumulation.

Box 55665 SE-102 15 Stockholm, Sweden [email protected] www.ifn.se Taxation of Swedish Firm Owners: The Great Reversal from the 1970s to the 2010s Magnus Henrekson* Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN), P.O. Box 55665, SE-102 15, Stockholm Sweden April 7, 2017 Abstract: By the late 1960s, real effective taxation of income from individual firm owner- ship in Sweden approached 100 percent. A series of tax reforms initiated in the late 1970s reversed this situation. This paper has a threefold purpose: (1) to elucidate the thinking behind the vision of creating a largely market-based system without wealthy capitalists and how that vision guided the design of the tax system; (2) to outline and evaluate the numerous changes in the tax code made since the late 1970s, the empirical and intellectual basis of these changes, and the implications of these changes for the taxation of individual firm ownership; and (3) to compare the size of the largest individual wealth holdings in the mid-1960s to their equivalents in the 2010s and discuss in what sense and to what extent the general public’s views have changed regarding sizeable individual income streams and wealth derived from business activity. Today, the tax code favors already wealthy individuals. By contrast, high labor income taxation combined with a high valuation of existing assets renders wealth accumulation difficult for persons with no initial wealth.

  • COMMERCIAL MOBILE PLATFORMS in an INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT Måns Engfors Lund University Faculty of Engineering Department of Auto
    COMMERCIAL MOBILE PLATFORMS IN AN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT Mans˚ Engfors Lund University Faculty of Engineering Department of Automatic Control As commercial mobile devices grow more powerful their field of application expands. A mobile device that looks more and more like a computer can also be used like one, even in an industrial context. There are many different commercial mobile software and hardware platforms on the market today. Companies in the process of incorporating such mobile plat- forms in their systems stand before a difficult decision. This thesis evaluates the most popular platforms today from Tetra Pak’s industrial point of view and shine light on the most im- portant questions that arise in the platform decision process. This entails defining what an industrial context is, identifying relevant user scenarios and composing a requirement specifi- cation that evidently leads to a platform recommendation.

  • Socialists at the Gate: Swedish Business and the Defense of Free
    SOCIALISTS AT THE GATE Rikard Westerberg Twice in the last century, organized capital in Sweden clashed with organized labor on the issue of private ownership and state intervention. First, in the 1940s following proposals on increased regulation, higher taxes, and potential nation- alization. Thirty years later, when business interests felt pressured by radical- SOCIALISTS AT THE GATE ized politics and a threat of losing ownership to union-controlled wage-earner funds in the midst of an economic crisis. For the captains of industry, the perils SWEDISH BUSINESS AND THE DEFENSE of socialism were to be fought by convincing the general public of the benefits OF FREE ENTERPRISE, 1940–1985 of free enterprise and assisting the non-socialists parties to return to power. This study analyzes business counter-reactions: its attempt to influence public opinion through PR-campaigns, public protests, research financing, press sub- sidies, and political donations. Applying theories on interest group formation and with access to previously closed archives, it finds that it was the level of radicalism within the internationally uniquely strong Swedish labor movement which incentivized business to act. It also analyzes the previously unresearched connections between Swedish employers and pro-market organizations abroad, including the relationship between prominent free-market economists and pub- lic-relations experts within the Swedish business community. In addition to shedding new light on how organized business tried to reach its Westerberg Rikard political goals during the Cold War era, the thesis helps us understand how ideas of deregulation, competition, and individual choice got a foothold in a country so characterized by social democracy.

All rights reserved. Printed in Sweden by Media-Tryck. Lund 2013 Acknowledgements Firstly I would like to thank Anders Olsson, for introducing me to Niklas Svanberg, the core automation manager of Tetra Pak Carton Bottle. Niklas gave me the opportunity to write my master thesis at Tetra Pak and for this I am a very grateful. I would also like to thank all the people I was able to interview at Tetra Pak, for they were all very friendly and supportive. Last but not least I would like to thank my supervisor Peter Lindberg, who has been an inspiration and an excellent mentor to me. Thank you so much for the countless hours of help and all the laughter. Abstract The use of an object-oriented approach in software engineering has proven to be successful for many years, but in the fields of mechanics and automation it has been ignored for long. The Tetra Pak Carton Bottle automation team believes that a switch from a function- oriented architecture to an object-oriented one would be of benefit not only to them but also any department which is involved with development, production, and maintenance of filling machines. Many product projects of today make the mistake of having its participants jumping straight into the implementation part of the project while skipping the work of first defining requirements of what the product shall accomplish.

  • The History of an Idea
    Tetra Pak – The history of an idea “Doing something that nobody else has done before is actually quite hard.” Ruben Rausing From idea to reality Ruben Rausing was born in Raus, near Helsingborg in 1895. After his high school examination at Helsingborg’s grammar school he studied at the Stockholm School of Economics and then continued at Columbia University in New York, where he took a financial “Master of Science” exam in 1920. He also used the stay in the USA to study American large-scale industry but he also gained an impres- sion of the rapid urbanisation and its consequences for grocery distribution. Back in Sweden Ruben Rausing started the packaging company Åkerlund & Rausing with Erik Åkerlund. The capital injection came mainly from Erik Åkerlund, while Ruben Rausing took responsibility for the ideas and the management of the company. The new company had to struggle for its survival. After several years Erik Åkerlund decided to leave the company and was bought out. In spring 1933 Ruben Rausing was sole owner of the company. New companies often start up by marketing a technical invention. Tetra Pak founder Ruben Rausing started instead by studying the market to be able to map out what his future company should be able to do. Following which he researched the technical requirements. From idea to reality Ruben Rausing started to build up a packaging industry, play a leading role in the development of both Åkerlund & which considerably contributed to the restructuring of Rausing and Tetra Pak.

    Europe North America Latin America Asia-Pacifc Award winners Europe Sweden Kirsten, Finn and Jörn Rausing Tetra Laval Group Mention the brand Tetra Pak to almost anyone in the world, and they will most likely identify it with the carton packages used for distributing beverages such as milk and juice. Behind the success of the Swedish Tetra Pak company has been the Rausing family. Three generations have worked to create the multibillion-dollar company Tetra Pak, a company that is now one “Doing something part of the Tetra Laval Group. With the vision that nobody else has and drive of Ruben Rausing at the beginning, done before is the entrepreneurship of the second generation actually quite hard.” and the strategic leadership of the third, each generation has played a crucial role in Tetra Pak’s success.
