Organisationer som är verksamma inom forsknings- och utvecklingsintensiva branscher befinner sig idag i en både dynamisk och komplex omgivning, vilken erbjuder ständigt uppkommande möjligheter och hot. För att en organisation ska kunna ta till vara på ständigt uppkommande förändringar förutsätter det i sin tur en adaptiv förmåga. Denna uppsats avhandlar den kombination av adaptiva kapabiliteter som en organisation måste tillskansa sig för att en sådan adaptiv förmåga ska kunna uppnås. Uppsatsen är indelad i två delar. Den första delen ämnar beskriva de adaptiva kapabiliteter som kan användas för att en adaptiv förmåga ska uppnås.

Informationsteknologi spelar en allt viktigare roll i dagens organisationer. Trots detta har lite forskning genomförts kring hur en organisation resonerar vid utvärdering av nya system och hur de förs in i organisationen. För att införandet av ny teknologi skall ske med bästa möjliga resultat i en organisation krävs en ökad kunskap om vad som kan vara kritiskt avgörande för framgång. Då införandeprocessen är en komplex process kan det för att uppnå framgång vara klokt att identifiera vilka faktorer som kan vara viktiga att behandla för den specifika organisationen. I denna studie kartläggs hur utvärderingen av en IT-produkt genomförs i en specifik kontext på ett sådant sätt att den slutgiltiga produkten skall motsvara det specifika organisatoriska behovet.

Generation Y gör sitt intåg på arbetsmarknaden och med denna nya grupp medarbetare har det även skapats nya krav, förväntningar och förutsättningar för dagens arbetsgivare. De nya framtida kraven kan komma att förändra organisationer och dess processer. Studien hade som syfte att se vilka mekanismer som påverkar de unga medarbetarna i en organisation vad gäller lojalitet. Sex personer från samma organisation deltog i studien och data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet visar att Generation Y:s lojalitet inte handlar om att stanna kvar länge i en organisation. Det framkommer i resultatet att lojalitet handlar mycket om balans mellan både arbetsgivaren och arbetstagaren och att medarbetare som tillhör Generation Y skapar meningsfullhet genom upplevelsen av att bidra med något till organisationen.

In Europe, the central governments are the ones to coordinate the international standards and strategies regarding GPP; Green Public Procurement. However in Spain a GPP program was introduced late and only applied to the Central Government Institutions, (AGEA) (BOE nr. 027, 2008). These means that smaller administrations, such as, Autonomous Regions, Municipalities and Town Councils were not included in the program. The absence of a national program which excludes those governments made them introduce their own criteria for GPP, and the difference in criteria varies from one government to the other.

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för hur ledare och anställda i en distansorganisation kan uppmuntras, via en god kommunikation till att förmedla sin kreativa förmåga. Genom att beskriva hur arbetet med kommunikation sker mellan de båda partnerna, kan vi presentera en förståelse om hur det skapas nya kreativa idéer även när medarbetarna inte är under kontorets tak.

Den personliga intervjun genomfördes med KNS Bilfrakt AB ena delägare. Telefonintervjuerna genomfördes på tre lastbilschaufförer inom samma organisation.

This Bachelor Thesis in the area of Computer Science and Work Science describes the process of design and development of an IT-tool between the municipality of Ron-neby and TietoEnator a development and consultancy firm, the Gothenburg office. The thesis focuses mainly on the cooperation between the consultant designer and the local municipal. Through cooperation, the organisation is incorporated into the tool and the tool is incorporated into the organisation. Concepts that are central in this thesis are design, cooperation and tailoring. A question raised is, if distance work and extensive cooperation might be a good way of working in the process of design and development, when the organisation is being incorporated into the tool.
