Karlstad University is a public institution. Staff members are therefore civil servants working on behalf of citizens – this responsibility is demanding, but also holds extra benefits. All government employees, irrespective of their professions, share the following core values:
Democracy
All public power in Sweden proceeds from the people. The people elect representatives to the Swedish parliament, the Riksdag.
Isn’t it obvious that women spend more money than men in the presence of a physically fit male employee? Isn’t it obvious that viewing an opposite-sex individual with an attractive face makes people more motivated to choose healthy rather than unhealthy foods? And, isn’t it obvious that restricting product touch in a store decreases rather than increases consumer spending? After all, these are all beliefs held by consumers and even marketing professors.

Karlstad University is an AACSB-accredited institution known for its strong research and high-quality education. Our Business School is recognised for its excellence, and we are also home to the renowned Ingesund School of Music in Arvika, where many famous Swedish musicians have studied.
Service innovation is an area that many firms, organizations and society are struggling with. Service as a phenomenon is what most of us is occupied with; both as employees and how we spend our money. I have spent a lot of time trying to make sense of what it really is.
The first thing that is striking with service innovations is that some are easy to copy while others are difficult to copy and latter types work well as differentiators for firms.

In the last ten years, relatively large groups have entered the labour market. At the same time, most societal sectors have expressed a clear skills shortage. The next ten years are expected to be even tougher and competition for skilled employees will intensify.
This development will also likely be reflected in a growing demand for higher education, where we can expect increasing competition to attract students.
Researchers and doctoral students at Karlstad University can receive support, advice and funding opportunities for the development of innovative ideas. Just Contact The Grants and Innovation Office. There is also a similar support for other employees and students.
