Full textThe importance of knowledge is growing within organizations. Particularly in the consultancy business knowledge management has been given a significant role in creating and maintaining competitive advantage.The consultancy firm Albihns.Zacco AB is specialized in intellectual property rights. Due to a fusion between the two consulting firms Albihns and Zacco in 2009, knowledge management at the Stockholm office is internally under development. Today the consultancy firm is one of the largest in Europe with around 550 employees. The development of knowledge management has in the past mainly been based on experience, internal and external expertise. Due to the Stockholm office’s development of knowledge management, the situation was interesting to study and analyze.The purpose of this study was to extend the understanding of knowledge management and analyze Albihns.Zacco AB's current organizational environment, from a knowledge management perspective. This would be implemented by seeking answers to the question: •How does knowledge management work within the Albihns.Zacco AB's Stockholm office? The study is based on an interview with Jörgen Linde, the company's regional manager in Stockholm. Linde is responsible for the region's finances, personnel and development which also include issues concerning the management of knowledge internally.

Full textTitle: Human capital in knowledge-intensive consulting firms – A qualitative study about how human capital is measured and reported in knowledge-intensive consulting firms Background: Human capital is a part of a firm’s intellectual capital which can be defined as the skill, competence and education of its employees. Despite the importance of human capital in firms and particularly within knowledge-intensive firms, the measuring and accounting of it as an asset in the firm’s balance sheet has been a complex and controversial topic for decades. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain a better insight into how Swedish knowledge-intensive consulting firms measure and report their human capital. Furthermore, we also want to investigate how the similarities is shown between the firms. Finally, we want to gain insight into which stakeholders that knowledgeintensive consulting firms report human capital to and why. Methodology: A qualitative study has been conducted with an abductive approach. The data was based on eight interviews with the CEO or the CFO in knowledgeintensive consulting firms. The collected data was analyzed with a thematic analysis where we identified and analyzed themes. Results and conclusions: The firms measure human capital based on how much the employees generate through industry-specific performance indicators. They also measure human capital qualitatively and narratively. This is mainly reported to internal stakeholders such as management, board and owners. The only external communication of human capital is to clients in order to share the consultants’ expertise, experience etcetera. Two consulting firms also say that their clients have requirements for human capital accounting through CV’s.

Full textThe consulting companies’ basic business idea is to sell their knowledge to other firms who are in need of knowledge. Each and one of employees’ knowledge create the knowledge base in consulting companies and produce the value which is reported in results. Knowledge itself is difficult to measure, it’s common to discuss organizational knowledge i.e. knowledge that exists within the company in terms of management strategies and solutions. There are relatively few studies addressing the relationship between the knowledge and the reported results within the company, therefore we intend to answer the question;How does reported result affect personal turnover and the resulting knowledge outcome in consultant companies?We have carried out a study based on annual reports from Semcon, Sweco and ÅF over a 10 year period. These have been supplemented by an interview at the technical consulting firm COWI AB, to get a deeper insight into the consulting companies’ structure and their working.The starting point of the study was to prove that personal turnover affect the knowledge negatively. However we have found a positive correlation between personal turnover and the knowledge level with in the company, which is against conventional sense. An analysis of the model robustness would preferably be included in the study.

Full textSyfte: Att undersöka vilka framgångsfaktorer som företagsledningar i konsultföretag använder för att få sin personal motiverade.
Metod: Jag har valt en kvalitativ metod med ett induktivt synsätt. Min intervjuform är semistrukturerad med öppna frågor.
Resultat och slutsats: Ledningen i företagen som ingick i studien har använt sig av en ekonomisk motivationsfaktor i kombination med flera icke ekonomiska motivationsfaktorer för att motivera personalen. Denna kombination av motivationsfaktorer kan ses som framgångsfaktorer i företagen.
Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Samma typ av studie men istället en undersökning av en annan bransch, en annan storlek på företagen, eller ett annat geografiskt område t.ex. i en större stad. Ett annat förslag är att intervjua personalen istället för den personanalansvarige. Att mäta motivationen, före och efter, vissa motivationshöjande åtgärder.
Uppsatsens bidrag: Uppsatsen har bidragit till att bättre förstå vad som motiverar personal i konsultföretag.
Aim: To investigate what kind of success factors management in consulting companys uses to get a motivated personnel.
Method: I have chosen a qualitative method with a inductive position. My interviews are done semistructured with open questions.
Result and conclusion: The management in the companys who was part of the study has used a economic factor of motivation combined with several non-economic factors of motivation to get their personnel motivated. This combination of factors of motivation are success factors in the companys.
Suggestions for future research: The same kind of study, but instead a investigation of a another industry, another size of the companys or a another geography area, for example a bigger town. Another proposal is to interview the personnel instead of the personnel management. To measure motivation, before and after, certain measures that increases motivation.
Contributions of the thesis: The essay has contributed to better understand what motivates the personnel in consulting companys.

Full textTurnover from project related business in Sweden amounts to approximately 1000 billion Swedish kronor per year. According to the Swedish project index, the average project maturity in Sweden is 2.56 measured at a scale of 1-5. Increasing the average project maturity in Sweden to an average of 3.5 corresponds to savings of more than 100 billion kronor per year. Project management should therefore be seen as a key competence for all companies and organizations. There is a great deal of theoretical knowledge today about project management, tools and project models. The solution to the difficulties in delivering projects that meet their goals is probably not to create even more new theory. The question should be how to apply existing theory and research to increase a specific organization's ability to drive successful projects. The construction industry faces the same challenges as others in the field of project management. At the same time, the construction industry is struggling with a productivity trend that is weaker than for the industry measured in value added per hour worked. Based on the challenges described above, the problem for the individual company is how they will adapt to the challenges today with low productivity in projects and future increase in complexity and increased rate of change. What can an organization do, based on theory and research to increase their project maturity? And given that the organization knows what they can do they then need to ask the question; of all possible things that can be done, what should the organization prioritize and in what order should the organization make improvements in methods and ways of working to gradually increase their ability to carry out successful projects? The starting point for this report project is the investigation of a specific company and the various options available for solving the above problems, based on project management theory, science and the specific conditions that characterize the organization. The conclusion is that measuring project maturity is an effective method for identifying and prioritizing improvement areas of a company. The study also shows that it is important to start in a structured way with applying the basics before a company implements a project model, hoping that the model will solve business challenges. The foundation on which the project model stands is the consistent and systematic application of the relevant working methods and methodologies. The foundation needs be in place before laying the other building blocks in place. Although this report analyzes what a specific company can do, the authors´s view is that the approach and the conclusions are generic enough to be applicable for other companies that want to increase their project maturity.

Full textProduct development occurs all the time and in many different markets, due to the many innovative products being developed, the need for different competences increases. This results in that the company who wants to develop a product does not always possess all the required competences and need to hire other companies to acquire this knowledge. An important factor that needs to be discussed is to what extent the company who outsources the development needs to be involved in the process. Many surveys show that some companies choose to cooperate closely during the project, while others think that the company who manages the product development should solve the problem themselves. The purpose of this report is to examine how the outsourcer and engineering firm collaborate in product development projects, what determines if the product is successful and what makes the outsourcer satisfied. The report is partly based on a literary study to create awareness and knowledge in the current area and build up a theoretical background. The literary study is compared to an empirical interview study involving two participating companies within the field, in order to draw conclusions related to the purpose of this report. As shown by this report, there are significant differences in how the collaborations are carried out, depending on type of project and size of the outsourcing party. A near collaboration is positively related to a better product and a more satisfied outsourcer, but results in higher costs for the outsourcer which might deter them from being fully involved. The evidence also suggest the methods for involving users affects the improvement of the product and therefore also the satisfaction of the outsourcer.

Full textFor new product developing companies it is important to have motivated employees. The purpose of this thesis was to study the role of design engineers in consulting companies within new product development and how these companies can act to motivate their design engineers. This thesis employs research interviews and a literature study which were compared regarding the role of the design engineer and what motivates them. The results were compiled, analysed, and discussed. The role of the design engineer was found to largely match the general consensus, the only distinction being that the role of the design engineer was observed to be even more central in the studied companies because of their focus on design intensive phases. The process was also found to vary between projects, due to customer involvement in the process, which makes the designer's role more varied in this field. It was concluded that in order to achieve more motivated design engineers the companies should call for a positive approach to the challenges the role of design engineer poses. The work should be varied, where the design engineers get the possibility to be included in the earlier phases of the new product development, not only the development of the design. It was also important to obtain solidarity within the team. However, motivational factors were shown to be very individual and therefore need to be studied to a greater extent in order to draw general conclusions for the industry. Nevertheless, the conclusions in this study can be used as a guideline for companies to lift the aspects that were mentioned as motivating.

Full textHow to spread tacit knowledge within a technical consulting firm?Knowledge is facts and information that an individual has received and developed through experience and training. Tacit knowledge it’s a kind of knowledge that is highly personal, difficult to formulate and are usually in the skills and routines that an individual has developed. In recent years the importance of knowledge in the industry have risen dramatically, and shifted from being a resource among many to be the primary resource.It is important for a knowledge-intensive organization to convert tacit knowledge into structural capital for knowledge to remain within the organization in case of staff loss. This is the basis of this candidate project that seeks to find out how tacit knowledge is disseminated within a specific division in the technical consultancy WSP. An empirical study was conducted to examine the methods used in practice by a consulting firm for the dissemination of tacit knowledge and how well it work in the current situation. Interviews were conducted with two people in various positions within the department. Empirical data is placed in relation to a theoretical framework.The theory that was examined for the dissemination of knowledge is socialization, externalization, combination of knowledge, internalization, person to person and person to the document. These methods are intended to facilitate knowledge sharing. There are several difficulties with the dissemination of tacit knowledge. According to a researcher some of the barriers of sharing tacit knowledge are that man does not always know about the knowledge she possesses, that spread is not beneficial to oneself and that the person does not want to share their knowledge.In the company that was disseminated the tacit knowledge was spread and localized in an open-plan offices, coffee breaks, assignments, intranet and meetings. There are several factors that inhibit knowledge sharing within the department. Some of these are time constraints, lack of commitment and misunderstandings. According to the empirical study it can be noted that what works well in theory does not always work in practice. The manager implements a method that according to theory works well, but the employee has a distinct view on how effective this method is in practice.The result of this study shows that a safe and pleasant work environment conducive to knowledge sharing among employees, tacit knowledge is spread most effectively by what a researcher calls for socialization. This means that tacit knowledge is transmitted either through the interaction of two or more people or by observation and imitation.Although WSP recognizes the importance of the dissemination of tacit knowledge, they do not actively support this process. This has resulted in lack of tacit knowledge in customer relationship in the organization. This problem could be solved by a strategy, including mandatory mentoring or a campaign that promotes this kind of knowledge.
