Previous research has shown that internal Communication can be linked with how motivated a project team is, but research that shows examples of how this works is missing. This paper therefore aims to study how two different IT projects are working with internal Communication. By analyzing its strengths and weaknesses, we wanted to study how these could be linked to the project team's motivation. In doing so, we wanted to be able to give examples of how projects could work with internal Communication to motivate their project teams. Essay questions of the study are:? How does the internal Communication occur in the projects?? Which strengths and weaknesses are to be found in the internal Communication?? How does the internal Communication influence the project members' motivation? To fulfill the purpose of the study it was needed informants interviews with the project manager for each project to access the facts, and respondent interviews with the project members from each project for accessing opinions.The results from the interviews show that both projects have effective Communication, even if it looked different, and doesn't quite agree with what previous research recommends.

The study aimed to evaluate picture Communication during clinical as-sessment and intervention procedures in paediatric care.

Survey data from care professionals and parents at five care units was supplemented with qualitative data from an interview with a multiprofessional group at one of the care units.

My essay begins with a story in which I portray different communicative situations at the preschool unit Myran. The children in my story are at an early stage of development and they all suffer from multiple disabilities which inhibit their ways of communicating. Through my story, I describe how I perceive different Communication dilemmas in my work place. A difficulty I cover in my essay is how the educator knows if he or she has interpreted a child correctly when it does not have a verbal Communication and therefore is completely dependent on the educators? interpretations of its Communication efforts.

The Stockholm Accords are an attempt to reflect Public Relations and Communication Management practice as it stands today and to provide a global common ground for the practitioners.The method used for this study is a quantitative research method conducted by a web survey answered by more than 400 Swedish Communication managers.

However, there are some areas where Swedish Communication practice diverges from Stockholm Accords. The issues which link governance, management and sustainability to Communication have a much wider distribution of responses.
