IT-system utvecklas idag ofta i globalt distribuerade organisationer. Detta görs för att möta de krav som ställs från omgivningen samt för att finna specialkompetens. En global organisation kan medföra distribuerat arbete, alltså att utvecklingsgrupper sprids över flera platser. Ett problem med detta kan vara att få alla delar av verksamheten att arbeta mot ett gemensamt mål. Koordination ? att hantera beroenden mellan element i komplexa organisationer för att möjliggöra effektivt arbete mot ett gemensamt mål ? blir då en viktig aktivitet.

Spelens dragningskraft har länge varit outforskad och vad som motiverar oss att spela är fortfarande svårt att definiera. Spelindustrin saknar ett ramverk för att ersätta termen ?kul? för att i stället på ett vetenskapligt sätt kunna bryta ner vad det är som får spelare att vilja fortsätta spela. Vi har i vår undersökning tittat på orsaken till spelande, för att på så vis undersöka den grundläggande motivationen hos spelare. Undersökningen utforskar inte bara vad som motiverar spelare utan försöker även destillerar den vida använda bransch-termen ?kul? för att kunna ersätta den med termer är baserade på behovstillfredsställande teorier, som istället redogör för varför spelare blir motiverade att fortsätta spela.

This is important since the horse plays a significant role in the rural development in Sweden. The study assumes that value is something created through relationships in the social network. Therefore theories of sensemaking are combined with a discourse analytic method. By interviewing customers to two companies, one with orientation on trotting horses and one with orientation on showjumping horses, it was found that value is constructed through retrospective stories.
