Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och öka förståelsen för hur ledarskapet i självstyrande team är utformat samt hur ledare arbetar för att motivera självstyrande team. Genom att beskriva och analysera hur ledarskapet i de självstyrande teamen är utformat är målet att besvara följande frågor: på vilket sätt medlemmarna i de undersökta teamen är självstyrande, hur rollen som ledare för ett självstyrande team är utformad, hur ledarna anser att de självstyrande teamen arbetar för att motivera sig själva, vad ledarna anser motiverar och inspirerar de självstyrande teamen till att göra ett gott arbete samt hur ledarna arbetar med att motivera de självstyrande teamen.Undersökningen är av en kvalitativ ansats och enskilda intervjuer har använts för att samla in empiri. Sju ledare i olika led med olika personalansvar har intervjuats för att besvara våra frågeställningar.Studiens resultat visade att medlemmarna i de självstyrande teamen till viss del fungerar självstyrande och att rollen som ledare för ett självstyrande team är vägledande och stödjande i sin karaktär. Ledarna anser att teamen motiverar sig själva genom att det arbete de utför genomförs tillsammans vilket i sin tur ökar gruppsammanhållningen. Genom att göra medarbetarna delaktiga i beslutsfattande och problemlösande ökar ledarna motivationen hos medarbetarna.

Scania Top Team is a competition where the best mechanics in the world are competing against each other. In 2011, the world final was recorded and this material is now used to see which problem solving strategies these top of the line teams are using to solve the realistic problems assembled in front of them. To help them, the mechanics are allowed to use two of Scanias IT-systems: Scania Multi and Scania Diagnose and Programmer 3. This report consists of two parts. The first part is the development of a method to analyze the recorded material.

Vi avser studera operativa team inom poliskåren, vad som gör dessa effektiva samt den kontext i vilken de existerar. Vi vill också undersöka huruvida eventuell diskrepans föreligger mellan teori och praktik inom området teameffektivitet. För insamlandet av empirisk data för denna uppsats har vi tillämpat en kvalitativ ansats. Vår huvudsakliga metod för datainhämtning är personliga intervjuer. Vår teoretiska referensram utgörs av Maslows hierarki, McGregors gruppteori, Belbins rollstrukturer för effektiva team, Kotters åtta steg för strategiska förändringsarbete samt Golemans teori kring emotionellt ledarskap och emotionell intelligens.

The purpose of the study is to illustrate the choices of sports profiled education amongst pupils in the upper secondary school.

This paper is about the use of task boards in agile system development projects. The main focus is on how digitalized versions of the task board can be of assistance during the development process. Our investigation is based on qualitative studies, with system developers of various backgrounds and professional roles, along with studies of relevant literature. The main results are that a digitized version of the task board can increase awareness for the team and be of major importance if it is accessible through the web. On the other hand negative effects of the digitalization can emerge as well.

The purpose of this thesis is to study to what extent the UN millennium development goals have influenced Sweden?s development policy. The research method that I have used is a qualitative text analysis and I have studied the ideas in governmental texts and millennium development goals reports from 1995-2008.My hypothesis is that the basic ideas that has symbolized Sweden?s development policy has not changed much since the adoption of the millennium development goals in year 2000. This hypothesis is based on different ideas that the basic perspectives in international development policy are rather constant.My conclusion is that many of the areas that are affected by the millennium development goals already are prioritized areas within Swedish development policy, for example poverty reduction and gender equality.
