Luftfartsverket till LFV
En studie i ett förnyande av ett varumärke
The 1st of January this year the state owned Swedish Luftfartsverket changed their name into the shorter name LFV. The shorter LFV is a more modern version in terms of that the name is a proof of that the classic organisation of the state, Luftfartsverket, with this stepbreaks through boarders and finds new ways. Plans have existed before but since 2005 when Luftfartsverket lost its assignments from the government and become a state owned business corporation, the plans have intensified. Now, also for all the employees, it isgetting obvious that something is going on in the organisation.The purpose of this paper is to see how this newly made change of name and logotype have been recieved and how it has effect the strategic choosen respondents within the organisation LFV. These choosen respondents have thorough knowledge of the organisation of LFV. Some of the questions to these respondents were how they reactedfrom the change and how have they interpret the changes? Or is there actually no change for them?Hopefully, the good and valueable values from Luftfartsverket will remain and continue to be connected to the organisation even with the three letters new name.A conclusion this paper has come up with is that this step is, within this group of respondents, a very small step indeed with not much of visable signs of the name- and logotype change. Nevertheless, all of the strategic choosen respondents are aware of that this is really a longer process and this is just the start of it. Moreover, all of the respondents sees this step as positive for the organisation of LFV.
