Abstract Hudiksvalls coordinating model - a model to make cooperation easier Camilla Andersson and Åsa Gradin The purpose of this study was to examine the experience each one of the administrators have of their own new model in Hudiksvall to make cooperation easier for the three different administrations in Hudiksvalls municipality. The study will focus on the administrators experiences of Hudiksvalls coordinating design. Questions of the study were: How is the influence of the model on the rules? How is the influence of the model on expectations and parts? What kind of influence did the model have on the responsibility distribution? What kind of influence has the model on the responsibilities at the transfer of costs? To answer the questions of the study we applied a qualitative method, it was made through a standardization interview guide and open questions, with six of the dealing officers who works with the model. Some of the results wich can be discern are by an economic character, andfor the clients that they won`t be passed around the administrations in the community, they get the right help, quick and safe. Key words: cooperation, coordination. / Abstrakt Hudiksvalls samordningsmodell- en modell för att underlätta samverkan. Camilla Andersson och Åsa Gradin Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur berörda handläggare upplever den nya egna Hudikmodellen för att underlätta samverkan bland tre olika förvaltningar i Hudiksvalls kommun. Det vill säga denna studie intresserar sig för handläggarnas upplevelse av Hudiksvalls samordningsmodell. Studiens frågeställning var: Hur har modellen påverkat reglerna? Hur har modellen påverkat förväntningar och roller? Vilken påverkan har modellen haft på ansvarsfördelningen? Vilken påverkan har modellen för kostnadsansvaret? För att besvara frågeställningen tillämpades en kvalitativ metod och utgjordes av en standardiserad intervjuguide med öppna frågor med sex handläggare som arbetar med modellen. Några resultat som kan skönjas är dels av ekonomisk karaktär, samt att klienterna inte längre slussas mellan förvaltningarna utan får rätt hjälp snabbt och tryggt. Nyckelord: samverkan, samordning.

Cooperation have in previous research been seen as a negative impact on competition and  vice versa. This thesis is building on a concept called coopetition in which cooperation and  competition is studied simultaneously. Coopetition have been studied in terms of the level of  cooperation and competition. However, we found a possible link between coopetition and  complexity in previous literature. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore whether  complexity can develop an understanding for what organizations within a company group  cooperate and compete about as well what they want to cooperate and compete about.     The four main cornerstones in the theoretical frame of reference is cooperation, competition,  coopetition and complexity. We begin by defining these concepts, describing previous  research and discuss various factors of the concepts. Finally, we further develop the possible  link between coopetition and complexity.    For reaching our purpose we study a company group in the travel industry. We are  conducting unstructured interviews with people at leading positions in the company group.  Our analysis is done by thematic network analysis in six steps.    The empirical data is coded, basic themes are found and a condensed version of the  interviews is presented together with a short presentation about the company group.     In the analysis we present two global themes, cooperation and competition. These are both  derived from the basic themes and organizing themes. The factors of complexity are the  organizing themes.    Our conclusion is that complexity can categorize wanted and actual cooperation in the  company group in the sense that complexity has to be lowered for cooperation to exist.  Regarding competition, we did not draw any conclusion to our purpose due to lack of data.  However, we find that competition is mainly seen as negative in the coopetitive situation  studied.     The implications of this thesis is that complexity can further refine the concept of coopetition  but the causality have to be further tested. In a managerial perspective, leaders should focus  on decreasing the factors of complexity if cooperation is wanted. We also suggest that it is  important to understand if people in organizations are positive towards cooperation and  negative to competition or the other way around.

Denna studie fokuserade på samverkan inom landstingets beroendeenhet och kommunens socialtjänst missbruksavdelningen. Syftet med studien var att belysa praktikers rfarenheter av samverkan, avseende patienter/klienter med missbruk/beroende problematik. Metodvalet var kvalitativa intervjuer. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten är Danermarks teori om samverkan och tre primära samverkansbegrepp; organisation, kunskap och regelverk. Resultatet visade att praktiker som deltagit i studien upplever att samverkan inom landsting och kommun fungerar bra och framhåller vissa faktorer som kan underlätta samverkan samt vissa faktorer som kan försvåra samverkan. Faktorer som underlättar samverkan är bland annat en god kommunikation, regelbundna möten. Faktorer som försvårar samverkan är beslutsmandat, organisation och sekretess.
