The purpose of this study is to gain increased understanding of managers´ attitudes and knowledge about its role in the internal Organizational communication. We want to understand how managers define dialogue and further understand the role that dialogue plays for managers. We want to see whether the different managers highlight some common foundations or differences in the dialogue. With the help of the following two questions we wish to understand managers´ relationship to the dialogue within the internal Organizational communication: -What meaning does the dialogue have for managers in the private sector?-What role does the dialogue play in the internal Organizational communication according to these managers? We use qualitative interviews as the data collection method of our material. Using material from the interviews and mainly in accordance with William Isaacs? theory of dialogue, wecan answer our questions. The result shows that managers' views on the dialogue in many cases are similar to Isaacs? vision but differs in part. The managers believe that employees are there to contribute to the company.

The purpose of this thesis is to explain if and why the Swedish Road Administration?s Organizational culture and handling of ideas and deviation support an implementation of continuous improvement management.
