When a company seeks to enter a new market, the multiple choices of possible new Business relationships exist. Further, establishing new relationships is a time-consuming procedure associated with high uncertainty and high costs. Hence, if the firm does not succeed in pinpointing the most suitable Business partners to collaborate with, the firm may both forfeit other possible good relationships, as well as resources invested. Based on this notion the aim of this thesis is to explore how a manufacturing company can base the selection of future dealership Business-to-Business partners by evaluating indicators of a possible Business relationship?s potential to become successful. The choice of focusing on the Business-to-Business relationship between a manufacturer and a dealership company originates from being influenced by the issues facing the Swedish agricultural machinery manufacturer Väderstad-Verken AB, who is putting attention to explore the US market.

The purpose of this thesis has been to explore the topic of Business simulation from a theoretical foundation in social constructivism and theories concerning leadership as the management of meaning. The most important findings are that Business simulation can be used for strategical leadership by management to create a common vision in the organisation members, which affects their perception of the Business and the decisions and actions they make, which in turn can lead to a more efficient organisation that becomes better at meeting set goals. This can be viewed in different ways from different theoretical viewpoints: as inducing targeted changes in mental models to create changes in decision making and actions; as a secondary socialization process where the vision of management is externalized as a Business simulation that is in turn internalized by the organisation members that participate in the Business simulation, or as a way to frame and define the reality of the organisational members which creates a shared reference point against which a feeling of organisation and direction can emerge. In the future, Business simulations may become increasingly used by organizations to create a common vision or to communicate a new decision to the organization members..

Several surveys indicate that corporate leaders still consider the aligning of IT and Business functions as a top management issue.

The empirical analysis indicate that coordination problems between IT and Business departments is in part affected by embedded factors such as different goals and perspectives on how IT is to be used in the organization or how to design IT related processes.
