The purpose of this study is to extend the understanding of how professionals in modern organisations want to be managed. We especially investigate professionals changing industries to describe if, and how, aprofessional in this situation is becoming a professional again after the change. This to find connections between intrinsic motivation and attitudes towards professionalism on one side, and applicable managerial methodson the other. Best practice in managing professionals is traditionally considered to be non-invasive methodologies such as indoctrination and training. Beyond that, operational-level management is usually considered to be bound to fail.The analysis suggests the following:? A professional changing industry will become professional again.? The driving force for becoming professional again is the strive for horisontal specialization, induced by higher education.? Management of professionals needs to account for the integrity of the horizontal specialization of the professional.

Alla individer som har arbetat och bott i Sverige omfattas av premiepensionen. Det innebär att individer i Sverige som betalar skatt tvingas till ett ställningstagande på den finansiellamarknaden.Många individer saknar kunskap om finansiell planering för att kunna fatta genomtänkta ekonomiska beslut för premiepensionen. Många sparare är av den anledningen i behov av hjälp och stöd, samt individanpassad information om finansiell planering. Under de senaste åren har konkurrensen inom den finansiella tjänstesektorn varit ett omdebatterat ämne. På grund av att kritik har riktats mot finansiella tjänster i anknytning till premiepensionen, saknar individer förtroende för den finansiella tjänstesektorn.

När en kassaflödesvärdering genomförs prognostiseras företagets värde genom att summera framtida kassaflöden och diskontera dem med företagets kapitalkostnad. På grund av att prognostiserade kassaflöden är uppskattningar inför framtiden karaktäriseras en värdering alltid av hög osäkerhet. Till underlag för prognoserna används en omfattande mängd information. För att ett tillförlitligt värde ska kunna beräknas är det viktigt att relevant och pålitlig information samlas in och hanteras på ett effektivt sätt. I dagsläget är det problematiskt att hantera omfattande mängder information och ett tillräckligt datorstöd saknas.
