Full textBackground: Consulting firms biggest challenge is to provide their clients with their required competence. Since consulting firms are active in a very knowledge-intense market, where the mission of their business is formed around the most efficient use of their human resources. The main goal is to provide their clients with their required competence, and to be able to do that they need to have good insight regarding what sort of competencies that are actually requested, both in short and long term. The market has gone from a fair mix of unqualified and qualified positions, to mostly qualified work positions. This means that the overall competitiveness has risen to a new level, and that means that companies are facing the challenge of wanting to recruit the same individuals. Companies that are active in these knowledge-intense markets need individuals that have the right experience combined with the right education, and that is a challenge.Purpose: The aim of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how consulting firms work strategically to provide their clients with required competence. Furthermore the study aims to examine how consulting firms make sure that they possess the required competence, today and in the future. Since there’s not a lot of previous research on the subject, this study hopes to open up for further research opportunities.Method: Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data for the study. Seven informants from seven consulting firms were asked questions about their HR-activities and how they supply their company with competence. The choice of method is based on the purpose of the study, to gain a deeper understanding for consulting firms challenges in their work with supplying competence.Conclusion: The conclusion of this study shows that all of the companies that took part, are working with recruiting, developing and retaining their human resources. The results also show that all of the consulting firms that took part in this study, all have a different approach to the parts of the process of supplying competence. Strategic approach is what is lacking in planning efforts for recruitment, development and retaining personnel. The consulting firms that participated all lack in connecting the HR-activities to reaching their companies main goal, to work in a strategic manner. The results also point to the7importance of competency mapping to be able to work with developing the company through their human resources in an efficient way.

Full textProfitability for a consultant company is dependent of the actual consultant hours delivered by consultants in customer projects. The company result will be affected if the consultant hours couldn’t be delivered because of illness or over-allocation. In consultant company’s where consultants work with different projects and customers it can be hard to visualize and follow-up the actual forecast. This could affect the company’s result and also delay the service delivery in projects. The hypothesis for this thesis is that visualization and follow-up of the actual result will reduce the risk for loss of income and delayed projects. The authors in corporation with aRway AB have tested this hypothesis by developing a tool that visualizes the forecast and performance for consultants working at aRway AB. This work have resulted in a report that describes the process for developing a solution that will help smaller consultant companies with delivery planning, forecasting and performance follow up. In the report is also a theoretical background included. Outcome of this work is a tool for visualizing and follow up the company’s deliveries which has given the company an enhanced service delivery and increased result.

Full textBakgrund: Personalomsättning har traditionellt setts som något negativt som bör minimeras. Under senare år har det dock framkommit att även en för låg personalomsättning kan vara negativt för ett företag. I denna studie utreds vilka effekter som följer av personalomsättning på olika nivåer, och vad som är en optimal personalomsättning. Vidare undersöks hur företagens personalomsättningsstrategier ser ut.
Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att förklara hur personalomsättningens effekter påverkar de studerade företagens utformning av strategier i strävan efter en optimal personalomsättning.
Genomförande: En kvalitativ undersökning har genomförts med utgångspunkt i empirin, vilken utgörs av totalt fyra intervjuer på två konsultbolag.
Resultat: Studien visar att företagen ser nytt blod och nytänkande som de viktigaste positiva effekterna. En annan positiv effekt, som dock inte utnyttjas till fullo, är att f.d. anställda kan bli potentiella kunder. Vad gäller negativa effekter är det centralt att finna en balans mellan alltför höga kostnader vid en för hög nivå och stagnation vid en för låg nivå. Svårigheten att korrekt värdera effekterna av personalomsättningen leder till att företagen endast uppskattar sin optimala nivå. En orsak är att den optimala nivån starkt påverkas av konjunkturen. Två perspektiv av personalomsättnings- strategi kan uttydas, varav det första fokuserar på att nå en optimal nivå, medan det andra fokuserar på kostnadsminimering och effektivisering av personalomsättningsprocesser.

Full textThe TV and media market is affected by the modern development in technology which is transforming the industry and making it easier for consumers to consume video through the web which in turn puts new requirements and demands on the companies active in that market. Traditional TV-operators are trying to change their business models, market boundaries are becoming more unclear, firms that were previously responsible for the IT-infrastructure are now trying to expand their grasp on the value chain, new start-ups see their chance to compete and global actors such as Google and Apple are becoming an increasing threat. Consulting firms that are active in this market therefore have the opportunity to fulfill customers’ needs of market specific consulting and resources to help companies adapt to the digitalization. Consulting firms trying to establish themselves in the TV and media market needs to ask themselves questions such as what spread their offering should have, what competencies and roles they should offer, and how they should act to attain a strong market position. Since the future development of the marketplace is unclear, there is also a need for such consulting firms to understand how they create foundations for sustainable competitive advantages. This study therefore has the objective to examine positioning strategies that achieves sustainable competitive advantages for consulting firms in the TV and media market. The study has been conducted as a qualitative case study at the consulting firm Eyevinn. The research methods used for the study were based on the principles of Lekvall & Wahlbin and had an exploratory approach to create a genuine understanding of the problem. The collected data was primarily based on interviews conducted with employees at the company Eyevinn and their customers. The analysis has been performed with a holistic approach and is separated into two main areas. The first area has its basis in the business model approach complemented with dynamic capabilities. The second area has a basis in general management literature focused on positioning strategies complemented with literature for positioning strategies that is specifically targeted to consulting firms. The underlying analyses are Evaluation of sustainable competitive advantages with a basis in the company’s capabilities and resources, The fit between the case company and its wanted position, Position in relation to competitors, The value propositions competitive advantages, Position in the value chain and exploiting the company’s market role. The results of the study shows that it is relevant for consulting firms within the TV and media market to understand the mechanisms available in their current and desired market role to strengthen their competitive advantages. It’s also shown that a differentiating strategy as a specialist puts high demands on the value proposition’s substantiation however such a differentiation strategy in itself can also be used to strengthen the substantiation together with the resonance of the value proposition. It’s also of importance that the firm internally, amongst the company’s personnel, makes sure that there is a common and unified view of the consulting firms’ positioning strategy and market direction. iv The result of the business model analysis shows through the logic of the case company’s activity system that there is a cyclic and reinforcing connection (virtuous cycle) in the activities that lead to the consulting firms ability to create legitimacy on the market for their expertise and knowledge. This activity cycle is identified as critical for the case company’s ability to receive a premium price and to move closer to their wanted position as a knowledge leader. To create conditions for sustainable competitive advantages in a consulting firm with a specialist differentiation the study shows that structures for handling of knowledge are important. The knowledge structures should support acquiring, preserving and evaluating its possibility to be commercialized with the reason to strengthen the market position as a knowledge leader. The recommendations that have been formulated are aimed to help the case company Eyevinn with strengthening their current market position and to move them closer to their wanted position with sustainable competitive advantages. In a long term perspective Eyevinn should replace their current internal communication tool and establish a structure for knowledge gathering, knowledge preservation and knowledge sharing. Eyevinn should exploit switching costs-mechanisms available in their current market role to protect and strengthen the position they have. To handle the internal discrepancies in the understanding of Eyevinns positioning strategy we suggest that they should go through five basic questions together to address the situation. Eyevinn should establish processes to support quick commercialization of new knowledge in order to move Eyevinn closer to its wanted position of knowledge leaders in their market. An improvement of the redundancy of the firm’s available competencies is recommended by a process which includes back office support to its customer assignments. Eyevinn’s sales communication is recommended to be adapted to support their ability to gather more experiences which strengthens their substantiation. Eyevinn is recommended to strengthen the trust perceived by their customers by focusing on the activities included in the virtuos cycle that creates legitimacy for their expert knowledge.

Full textBackground: Decision making is one of the most important processes at all levels of management. The continuous need to be able to make better decisions is considered critically important to a company's short-term and long-term survival. Assisting in this step, decision support system (BSS) in the form of Business intelligence (BI) has been created. This is perceived as a necessary aiding tool for organizations that want to make better and more informed decisions. Nevertheless, studies show that the BI user encounters many user related problems while research also show that a reduced perceived usefulness of a Business Intelligence System (BIS) both supresses and undermines employees' decision-making. This problem has thus resulted in an interest in understanding and determining what affects the usefulness of BIS. Objective: The purpose of this study is to understand on how to increase the usefulness of BIS from an end-user perspective. Method / Approach: The study method uses a qualitative approach and includes a case study. Empirical data has been collected through six semi-structured interviews from a Swedish consulting firm that employs an inhouse developed BI platform. Conclusions: In summary, the usability of BIS from the empirical findings can be improved through increased system expertise, data quality and flexibility. Practical consequences: From a developmental perspective, the study's findings can help elucidate the factors that increase the usefulness of BIS. It can also act as a signposting framework to help companies in similar sites where problems are experienced with BIS use. Proposal for further research: Further research should be conducted with the purpose of verifying this thesis conclusions. It may therefore be interesting to study additional companies with variation in size as well as geographical location and evaluate the difference in results. Lastly, understanding the usability of Mobil BI could also be interesting to investigate as this is getting more popular in BIS of future markets and organizations.

Full textMany organizations have some sort of onboarding process for their new employees. A successful onboarding process contributes to the new employees feeling at home at the organization as well as getting them up to speed quicker with what they are expected to do. For a large organization with multiple offices it can be a challenge to establish a clear and simple onboarding process for the new employee, which is also perceived as meaningful and achieves its objective. This study aims to investigate how the onboarding process for new employees can be planned during the first ninety days, in order to give the new employee a meaningful first time. This has been achieved through a pilot study that included interviews with managers and new employees at a consulting company. These interviews were analyzed by using relevant theories and previous research on the topic of onboarding. In combination with the relevant literature on that topic a concept proposal was developed for the onboarding process at this company. The study is based on educational theories that form the basis for a concept proposal, developed to enable good opportunities for new employees to learn and that provides a clear theme and consistency of the onboarding process. Furthermore the study investigates how this can be enabled or enhanced by digital means. The concept proposal contains possible solutions to provide for a successful onboarding process. From the results of the interviews we were able to distinguish four significant themes that are of importance when planning the onboarding. These themes are (i) clarity, (ii) become acquainted with colleagues and the company, (iii) practical matters and (iv) reality-based. In addition to these themes, the study is based on Bauer’s thoughts on onboarding and the study aims to fulfill that the onboarding process reaches a higher level according to Bauer.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to examine / investigate the possibility to store and present employees’ skills and competencies in knowledge-intensive company. The initiator of this thesis is the consultant firm Nethouse Sverige AB. As Nethouse employee number grows, it becomes more and more difficult to structure and manage the skills and competencies that exist within Nethouse. It also becomes harder to keep track of the areas in which individual employees develop. Today each employee enters their skills and competencies in a Word-document (one per employee) called consultant profile. This way of entering skills and competencies causes several problems: Difficult to summarize the competence inside (employees) and also outside (jobseekers) Nethouse. Updating the consultant profile is often forgotten. Difficult to search for employees/jobseekers with specific skills. In order to solve the problems in a structured manner a preliminary study in requirements management has been performed. The study resulted in a number of requirement gathering techniques which was used to extract the requirements of the system to be developed. The requirements were realized by implementing a web application in which every employee at Nethouse could create their own consultant profile. A profile includes the assignments, competencies and roles that the employee have experience in. This information was also made searchable and the profile can be exported to Word-format. The system will save Nethouse’s employees a lot of time when searching for competencies and when compiling lists of competencies that exist within the company.

Full textOnboarding är den process där nyanställda medarbetare lär känna organisationen, arbetsgruppen samt vilka regler och villkor som präglar arbetet på deras nya arbetsplats. Målet med onboarding är att få medarbetarna att prestera, känna tillfredsställelse i sitt arbete samt att känna ett engagemang och en lojalitet till verksamheten. Denna studie syftar till att skapa en ökad förståelse för processen genom att studera upplevelser från anställda på ett IT-konsultbolag. De frågeställningar som söks svar på är hur nyanställda medarbetare upplever den onboardingprocess de genomgått, samt på vilket sätt chefer beskriver medarbetarnas onboardingprocess. En kvalitativ metod har använts och empiri har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med 12 anställda, varav sju medarbetare och fem chefer inom valt IT-konsultbolag. Resultatet visar på att den studerade verksamheten arbetar formellt och strukturerat med arbetsplatsintroduktion, men att medarbetarnas upplevelser ger uttryck för visst behov av vidare arbete för förbättring. Åtgärder som framkommer som förbättringsförslag av det studerade företagets onboarding innefattar exempelvis ett utökat arbete med nuvarande fadderuppdrag alternativt vidareutveckling av ett mentorskap, tillsammans med tydliga formella uppföljningar med nyanställda medarbetare. Dessa åtgärder kan bidra till en förbättrad upplevelse från start och ett vidare arbete för att få medarbetare att vilja stanna längre inom organisationen.

Full textBakgrund: Vi har identifierat kombinationen av Knowledge Management och Human Resource Management som intressant då denna konstellation behandlats sparsamt i tidigare studier. Det finns även intressanta samband i termer av personalomsättning som fångat vårt intresse. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en modell för att beskriva och förstå hur de teoretiskt bästa kombinationerna av Human Resource Management och Knowledge Management kan se ut. Modellen ska även testas empiriskt på konsultföretag för att se om de uppfyller idealkombinationerna. I modellen vill vi även beskriva på vilka sätt olika strategikombinationer kan påverka personalomsättningen. Definitioner: Stora delar av studien kretsar kring det teoretiska området Human Resource Management vilket vi har förkortat HRM. På samma sätt har Knowledge Management förkortats som KM. Genomförande: Studien är utformad dels som en litteraturstudie och dels som en komparativ fallstudie där empirin bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra svenska managementkonsultbolag. Resultat: De bästa kombinationerna av KM och HRM är enligt studien när de genomgående utgörs av personalisering eller kodifiering. Resultatet ger även en beskrivning av hur olika HRM-aspekter kan anpassas i linje med dessa bästa kombinationer. Studien visar även att företag (fallföretagen i denna studie) inte följer idealkombinationerna i praktiken samt att olika kombinationer kan få varierande effekter på företags personalomsättning.

Full textThis report is written for a consultant networking company with the purpose to review the development ofthe company's remote connections from a user friendly and security perspective.This includes an investigation of the possibilities to consolidate existing authentication methods foraccessing customers. The problem lies in the amount of methods being used. Through case study wefound that smart cards, SMS-service, software and hardware tokens exist.The only method feasible from a security perspective is smart cards. Since the method is not commonlyused by the company's customers a standardization of it would be counterproductive.Also, the purpose of this report is to investigate how the ongoing internal development of the remoteconnection will affect the company's clients. Within this framework we have also verified a designsuggestion.We interpret, after the completion of the case study, that the internal development of the remoteconnection is marginally affected by legal perspectives. Tests and interviews shows that all of thesolutions are user friendly, but not adequate from a security perspective. With respect to customers'demands we recommend that the company's internal network should be accessed with smart cards. Thisguarantees that only intended authentications are performed.
Rapporten är skriven åt ett nätverksbolag i konsultbranschen. Syftet med rapporten är att se överutvecklingen av företagets distansuppkopplingar ur ett användarvänlighets- och säkerhetsperspektiv.Detta innebär dels att undersöka möjligheterna för att konsolidera förekommande autentiseringsmetodersom används för uppkoppling mot kunder. Problematiken handlar då om att mängdenautentiseringsmetoder för konsulter i dagsläget är svåradministrerad. Genom fallstudie har vi fått reda attsmarta kort, SMS-tjänst, mjuk- och hårdvarutokens figurerar.Den enda metod som är tänkbar ur ett säkerhetsperspektiv är smarta kort. Då metoden inte ärframträdande hos företagets kunder skulle dock en standardisering i dagsläget vara kontraproduktiv.Avsikten med rapporten är också att utreda hur den pågående interna utvecklingen avdistansuppkopplingen påverkar företagets kunder. Vi har inom ramen för detta även verifierat ettdesignförslag.Efter utförd fallstudie tolkar vi att den interna utvecklingen av distansuppkopplingen påverkas marginelltur ett juridiskt perspektiv. Efter tester och intervjuer konstaterar vi att samtliga lösningar äranvändarvänliga men ur säkerhetssynpunkt inte tillräckliga. Med hänseende till kundernas kravbildrekommenderar vi att uppkoppling mot företagets interna nätverk sker med smarta kort. Detta för attkunna garantera att endast avsvedd autentisering utförs.

Full textThis study is about organizational culture and has been implemented in a consulting firm. The aim was to examine the factors that contribute to creating, maintaining, and disclosing the organizational culture. We also intend to examine how major events have affected the company’s culture. In this study we used a qualitative approach. Such a method is most appropriate when the study of organizational culture involves interpretations of people’s thoughts, actions and behaviors. Opinion is divided on the issue if management is able to control organizational culture. The essay results show that leaders in general is able to, if not control, then at least influence workplace culture. If the leader is also the founder of the company, he has even more ability to affect the organizational culture. The interviews we conducted revealed that the founders both created and maintained the company’s current culture. The company’s culture has been passed down through particularly one of the founders commitment and visible leadership. The organizational culture of the founders is today visible in the workplace through artifacts and employee values. After analyzing the interviews we noted that larger events in many ways affect the organizational culture. The events that respondents reported in the interviews have both changed and strengthened the company’s culture.

Full textEn väl fungerande process för incidenthantering är och blir allt viktigare för organisationer. Informationssäkerhetsincidenter ökar både i antal och i omfattning och 2018 träder GDPR och NIS-direktivet i kraft med krav på rapportering av utpekade incidenter till en tillsynsmyndighet. Denna studie belyser IT-konsultbolag och deras utsatta position som underleverantör och syftar till att adressera bristen av empirisk forskning inom incidenthantering och att bidra till en framtida teoriutveckling. Målet med studien är att besvara forskningsfrågorna (1) vilka utmaningar upplever IT-konsultbolag med deras incidenthantering? (2) vilka utmaningar är specifikt relaterade till GDPR och NIS-direktivet? och (3) vilka utmaningar och är specifika för just konsultbolag? Resultatet bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med experter och en enkätundersökning och resultatet identifierar och tydliggör upplevda utmaningar med bolagens incidenthantering. Analysen av resultatet visar att vissa av bolagens utmaningar överensstämmer med tidigare studier medan vissa är nya och att enkätundersökningen till viss del stödjer experternas utlåtanden. Slutsatsen av studien är att bolagen har flertalet utvecklings- och förbättringsmöjligheter som är kopplade till intern och extern kommunikation, kostnadsfokus, avsaknad av en större incident, medvetenhet, GDPR, rollen som konsultbolag och internationellt erkända svåra aktiviteter. Studiens forskningsbidrag består av identifierade utmaningar inom området incidenthantering hos IT-konsultbolag och resultatet av studien rekommenderas till IT-konsultbolag som, genom att få en förståelse av incidenthanteringens problematik, vill förbättra och utveckla sin process för hantering av incidenter.

Full textAim: In a knowledge-intensive economy, talented employees with their skills and experience, are becoming increasingly important in the company, and this can’t always be justified by a higher salary. Instead, organizational culture can play a central role in maintaining talented employees.The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how talented employees experience the influence of organizational culture on the intention to remain in anorganization. One research question that the study intends to answer is: ●F1: "How do talented employees experience that a retaining organizational culture occur?" ●F2: "Why do the talented employees feel that some emphasis in the organizational culture is important for the intention of staying in the organization?" Method: In this study, a qualitative method of semistructured interviews has been used to collect empirical data. To analyze collected data, a thematic network analysis has been made. The empirical material and the analyzed material are presented in separate chapters with an accompanying enddiscussion. Result & Conclusions: The results from this study show that four basic assumptions: "Affiliation", “Professionalism”, "No Secrets," and "Freedom" are central to emphasizing in an organizational culture to maintain talented employees. The study also shows that the basic assumptions appear as their own themes, but that they also relate to each other as they can enable each other or act as counterparts. Contribution of the thesis: The study contributes to the development of existing theory, as questions about why and how a retaining organizational culture can occur has been answered. It also implies a depth when a qualitative research strategy has been used to investigate a phenomenon that former researchers have quantitatively investigated. The study also provides a practical contribution to business executives whose employees can be seen as talented employees. Suggestions for future research: The limitations of this study are that organizational culture has only been investigated in a specific context of a company. Future research is recommended to carry out the same type of study in a different industry than the IT industry. We have not been able to confirm the relationships presented when they emerged through the analysis, and future research should further study the relationships.

Full textSyftet med studien är att undersöka hur ett globalt management konsultföretag arbetar internt med kunskapsöverföring över landsgränser av den svåruttryckliga erfarenhetsbaserade kunskapen som en konsult innehar. Den kvalitativa data som används i empirin samlades in genom intervjuer med anställda på fallföretaget Accenture. Resultatet av undersökningen visade att praktisk kunskap överförs genom formella sammankomster samt en ”learning by doing” modell där konsulter av olika nationaliteter och grad av erfarenhet arbetar tillsammans på olika projekt. Erfarenheter från projekt samlas, lagras och överförs till databasen Knowledge Exchange, i en process där den praktiska kunskapen transformeras till teoretisk kunskap och görs tillgänglig för hela företaget. Studien visar att Accenture har rutiner som gör att dem överkommer de flesta hinder som presenteras i den befintliga teorin. Det hinder som Accenture belyste som ett problem var informationsöverflödet som fanns inom företaget.
The purpose of the study is to study how a global management consulting firm works internally with knowledge transfer across national borders of the hard to express, experience-based knowledge of a consultant. The qualitative data which is presented in the empirical part of the paper was collected through interviews with employees at the case firm Accenture. The result of the study showed that practical knowledge is transferred through formal meetings, and a “learning by doing” process, where consultants of different nationalities and degrees of experience work together on projects. Experiences from projects are collected, stored, and transferred to the Knowledge Exchange database, in a process where the practical knowledge is transformed into theoretical knowledge and made available to the entire company. The study shows that Accenture has routines that help them overcome most of the impediments presented in the existing theory. The impediment that Accenture expressed to be a problem within their organization was information overflow.

Full textThis candidate assignment has been conducted through a zero-position analysis at an IT- based consulting company. The study identifies the current situation within the organization to see if the employees' experiences match the hopes the organization has with a new introduced values concepts. A values concepts aimed at identifying employees' internal motivation and promoting personal development as well as how the new values concepts aims to solve the problems in system and software development. The organization, in turn, wants it to lead to internal and external value creation and commitment for all parties, linked to community benefits, sustainability and work environment. The study has been conducted with an inductive approach, where the qualitative survey has collected data based on six interviews, to gain a deeper understanding of the employees' own thoughts and opinions. The collected empire has since been compared, analyzed and discussed in relation to theory and previous research. Based on similarities and differences, we could then draw a conclusion about how the present situation in the organization is in relation to what the theory says. The result of the study shows that respondents have a common view that the organization is innovative and places employees in focus. Within the organization there is a sense of togetherness, responsiveness and participation, which creates commitment, motivation and personal development among the employees. Respondents see the new values concepts as a good complement to the agile methodology within the organization as well as a good agile tool. The organizational culture is reflected by good atmosphere, fresh and inviting office environment and honesty towards the customer. There were also some differences of opinion during the investigation, such as uncertainty about how the information is provided and managed.

Full textCompanies acquiring ERP systems are often dissatisfied with the project and therefore consultancy firms wish to make use of project models in order to achieve success in implementations. Since research on ERP implementations in service companies is limited, there is a need for mapping of critical activities in implementation projects in this line of business. Under these premises, the purpose of our master thesis is to develop a model for implementation of ERP systems, specified in activities, which can be used by mid-sized consultancy firms with mid-sized qualified service companies as customers.
A literature study including project models, modern models and methodologies for ERP implementation, commonly existent activities, success factors and system development methods was carried out. Starting out with this, a theoretical model for ERP implementation was generated. In excess of this, a case study was conducted, where the implementation of the ERP system Microsoft Dynamics AX at the service company Eurostep, performed by the consultancy firm Medius, was studied. A comparative analysis was performed, where the theoretically deduced model of ERP implementation was complemented and revised.
The result of the master thesis is a consultancy model with four phases, with related activities, for ERP implementation in service companies. In order to fulfill the needs identified in the study, the model includes the following:
- Clear responsibility distribution
- Milestones as ending criteria
- Suitable ways of work within the phases
During the study the need for an anchoring and commitment process, and the need to consider the customer’s features, emerged. This can contribute to consultancy firms getting enough involvement in the project from their customers, which is important in order to achieve desired quality and to finish the project within the given time frame.
Företag som anskaffar affärssystem är ofta missnöjda med projektet och konsultbolag önskar därför använda sig av projektmodeller för att lyckas med införanden. Eftersom forskningen kring affärssysteminföranden i tjänsteföretag är begränsad, finns ett behov av kartläggning av kritiska aktiviteter i införandeprojekt hos denna typ av företag. Mot bakgrund av detta är syftet med vårt examensarbete att utveckla en modell för införande av affärssystem, konkretiserad i aktiviteter, som kan användas av medelstora konsultbolag med medelstora kvalificerade tjänsteföretag som kunder.
En litteraturstudie innefattande projektmodeller, moderna modeller och metodiker för affärssystemimplementering, vanligt förekommande aktiviteter, framgångsfaktorer och systemutvecklingsmetoder genomfördes. Med utgångspunkt i denna togs en teoretisk modell för affärssysteminföranden fram. Utöver detta gjordes en fallstudie där implementeringen av affärssystemet Microsoft Dynamics AX hos tjänsteföretaget Eurostep, som genomförs av konsultbolaget Medius, studerades. En komparativ analys genomfördes av det studerade fallet, där den teoretiskt framtagna modellen för affärssysteminförande kompletterades och reviderades.
Resultatet av examensarbetet är en konsultmodell med fyra faser, med tillhörande aktiviteter, för affärssysteminförande i tjänsteföretag. För att uppfylla de i studien identifierade kraven inkluderar modellen följande:
- Tydlig ansvarsfördelning
- Milstolpar i form av avslutskriterier
- Lämpligt arbetssätt inom faserna
Under studien framkom att en förankrings- och engagemangsprocess behövs, samt att hänsyn behöver tas till kundens egenskaper. Detta för att konsultbolag ska få sina kunder tillräckligt involverade i projektet, vilket är viktigt för att nå önskvärd kvalitet och för att kunna slutföra projektet inom dess givna tidsramar.

Full textFor decades, organizations have used enterprise resource planning systems to plan and monitor all parts of their operations. The way in which these systems have operated has traditionally been on locals servers of the organization that uses the system. This way of operating has resulted in major investments in hardware and high maintenance costs. With the technical advancements made during the 2000s, the concept of cloud services has been made possible. Software can now be delivered as a service. This change is also applicable to enterprise resource planning systems. Sales and implementation of enterprise resource planning systems are usually carried out by consulting companies in partnership with the company that develops the systems. The purpose of the study was to investigate how one of the selling consulting companies' business model is affected when a larger proportion of the enterprise resource planning systems are sold as cloud services. In order to get an understanding of this, the consulting company Softronic and their business model were studied by interviewing representatives from their enterprise resource planning systems unit. The study found that there are major differences, in particular, the revenue streams, the capabilities required and how the offer to the customers differs. Furthermore, it is described how Softronic more easily can handle the shift in a transition phase by using parallel business models.

Full textBackground Distance management is regarded as the modern organization's way of directing its employees to achieve what is best for the organization. They primarily control their employees by setting organizational goals to guide employees in the right direction. In order to achieve good management, it is necessary that the organizations have good communication with their employees, not least when information about their goals is to be communicated. Recent technological advances in communication have helped organizations develop their way of communicating to their employees. Within organizations, it is important to have a variety of different and functioning strategies for communicating and achieving their organizational goals. The development of communication has thus led to the management of organizations to convey their organizational goals by means of a variety of communication channels. The literature study pointed out that organizations are increasingly using distance communication in their operations. Management within consulting companies has a constant distance factor to take into account when it comes to managing their organizations. And that their employees work for two organizations, which leads to a multi-organizational culture. The consulting industry thus became interesting to investigate because of its distance management, distance communication and multi-organizational culture as other industries also tend to go against this organizational structure. Purpose This study aims to investigate how knowledge-intensive organizations in the form of consulting companies control their activities with the help of organizational goals. A major focus will be on communication about the organizational goals between company management and employees. Method This is an explorative study where a couple of consulting companies were included in a case study to investigate how communication about the organizational goals is perceived and managed by the consultants involved. The study is structured so that the management company management stands for one party and the consultants for the other. Since then, their perception of communication regarding the organizational goals has been investigated with the help of interviews and questionnaires. Furthermore, the two parties were compared to identify any differences in their views. The reason why a particular consulting company was chosen was because a large part of this study will focus on the distance dimension of communication. This is because the management within the consulting company and the consultants usually do not do their everyday work under the same roof. Result The result indicated that there discrepancy in specific communication aspects between the management within the consulting company and the consultants. In other aspects, the two parties' views reflect each other better. The biggest similarities identified were awareness of the existence of organizational goals and its importance to the company as a whole. However, perceptions differed somewhat when it came to the significance of organizational goals at the local level. Further to the result, it is possible to further question whether the management of the respective respective consulting companies is managed with regard to the organizational goals. Conclusion Some conclusions that were drawn were that the consultancy companies in the study place great focus on their management work on mediating, feedback and creating a good understanding among the organization's consultants about organizational goals. It can also be noted that the consultancy companies involved are actively working on methods and approaches to the communication of the organizational goals that are well founded in the theory of communication. The consulting companies primarily solve the problems regarding the distance factor and the multi-organizational culture by mostly communicating organizational goals through physical meetings with their consultants. The management company's management is well aware that initially the organizational goals are often abstract. Which means they have to be broken down and concreteized, preferably with the help of the consultants so that they can more easily apply them to their everyday work. The result also shows that there is a certain problem of conflicts between the consulting company's organizational goals and the customer company's organizational goals.

Full textThe epistemological debate, the science of knowledge, has engaged many great philosophers since time immemorial. The concept is complex, containing both philosophical and psychological elements, which make it interesting to study the subject from a scientific perspective. Studies in sales management have shown that sales-related knowledge is an important factor when it comes to generating good sales results for an organization. Previously identified important knowledge ranges from good expertise when it comes to product design, to knowledge of how the product or service in question helps customers solve problems, visible as well as hidden.Consultancy X, which has been the subject of this study, will remain anonymous throughout the study. Company management and operations have both increased their focus on and scope of sales operations and it is also doing some investments within the area such as staff education, development of sales systems, etc. Consultancy X is still going through a development phase in the company's sales operations, making it relevant to examine the activities within this field.The purpose of this paper is to highlight the skills that are most relevant to an employee working with sales operations of Consultancy X, in order to achieve a successful outcome. Hopefully the result will be able to generate new information which can be used in the company´s development of sales activities and contribute to improvements in the area.The study was conducted through an internship at Consultancy X, and an interview with the company management. The internship and the interview have provided complimentary information since it was important to compare management's strategic opinion of the field with that of the employees, the persons doing the actual work. A literature review has been conducted, parallel to the internship, in order to create a theoretical framework for the empirical studies.The results of the empirical studies and the literature review identify similar types of sales-related knowledge the seller needs to possess in order to reach a good result. This knowledge includes: Knowledge about the product or service meant to be sold Market and customer knowledge Knowledge about sales techniques Organizational knowledge i.e. practical knowledge of internal company procedures For Consultancy X specifically, the sales-related key knowledge consists of: Market knowledge, the company's competitiveness lies in expertise of the local market and knowledge about its standing compared to other markets in the world Good knowledge about the client and about what needs the services of Consultancy X can fill Knowledge of basic sales techniques
