<p>Avsikten med detta examensarbete var att belysa de faktorer som har betydelse för god IT-säkerhet i ett svenskt företag.</p><p>I examensarbetet utreds de hot som finns mot företags IT-system vid en anslutning till Internet, samt vilka skyddsåtgärder som bör nyttjas för att skydda sig mot dessa hot. Rapporten leder fram till vilka hot och skyddsåtgärder som är aktuella för svenska företag. Examensarbetets frågeställning skall innefatta en undersökning av vad verksamheter från två olika branscher tjänsteföretag som arbetar med elektroniska penningstransaktioner och övriga tjänsteföretagföretag har för hotbild vid en anslutning till Internet samt hur vanligt det är med de olika skyddsåtgärderna. De hotbilder och skyddsåtgärder som valts att använda i arbetet har tagits fram ur en litteraturstudie. Informationssäkerhet skapar huvudsystemet IT-säkerhet som används för skyddsåtgärder som är av teknisk karaktär, t.ex. olika former av behörighetskontrollsystem.</p><p>Arbetets problem har gått ut på att få en inblick i hotbilden samt skyddsåtgärder vid en anslutning till Internet bland olika verksamheter tillhörande tjänsteföretag som arbetar med elektroniska penningstransaktioner och övriga tjänsteföretag. Undersökningen baseras på intervjuer kombinerat med litteraturstudier. Verksamheterna som har studerats verkar inom olika verksamhetsområden och branscher.</p><p>Undersökningen har påvisat att hotbilden enligt litteraturstudien är ett absolut hot mot verksamheterna även om de inte drabbat alla samt att nämnda skyddsåtgärder enligt litteraturstudien anses vara mycket nödvändiga. Dock skiljer sig hotbilden samt prioritering av skyddsåtgärder mellan tjänsteföretag som arbetar med elektroniska penningstransaktioner och övriga tjänsteföretag. Att hotbilden skiljer sig åt beror på att vissa branscher är mer drabbade än andra.</p>

<p>Crisis are extremely difficult to predict and according to Curtin, Hayman and Husein (2005) this is a problem that worsen by the trend in the 1970s and 80s where companies developed managers to be specialists. One example of this trend could be that a finance</p><p>director knows only about finance, likewise for the marketing director, the technology director and operations director who all have their specialist fields. This kind of approach will lead to gaps in the management structure, since a finance director who is</p><p>driven by profits and earnings per share would most probably lose sight of the bigger picture which will prevent the chances of predicting any crisis (Curtin et al., 2005). This kind of thinking began to change in the 1990s and a new approach came into vogue</p><p>where managers were produced to be far more rounded than they were previously, as a generalist (Curtin et al., 2005). Our purpose is to find out how crisis emerge in projects and investigate the role of emotion in crisis management.</p><p>The qualitative method is best suited to fulfil our aim since we are interested in individual’s personal experiences and personal reflections related to crisis management. The reason for us not choosing the quantitative method is that we do not wish to measure or create statistical generalizations about crisis management, it is rather to describe the essence of crisis management and issues related to crisis management, also how crisis is perceived from organizations. We therefore performed interviews with respondents that were of interest for our purpose.</p><p>With all the information and knowledge gathered throughout our research we believe that when it comes to the abilities of the project managers to predict and prevent crisis, it is correct that managers have different and perhaps better education than 30 years ago</p><p>but when everything comes around it is still next to impossible to completely be able to prevent crisis. We came to this conclusion after done our research and realized that even though every project manager who has been involved in any crisis can not completely</p><p>prevent the same crisis to happen again.</p>

<p>This paper is about the importance of culture in the usage of business applications and how they function outside their original context. When involved in an environment that has different culture or value than yours, it is important to live and interact on a high level with the group of people or company that you are in project with because we believe that it will help you to understand and value the culture you are working with. Let it be known that it is important for the consultant or the programmer to be patient and open minded towards new learning experiences or else they will stumble on their own feet whether it is national culture or business culture.</p><p>We will do our study with the help of a qualitative research in a company with international experience located in Iran where we will make interviews over the phone with the help of semi-structured interview method. The conversations will then be recorded with a record player in order to gain high reliability. The difference between national and business culture as the way we understand it is that national culture consists of so many different aspects and is both inherited and learned. It also involves heroes, symbols, religious beliefs and rituals while business culture is less complex in the comparance. Although heroes and rituals exists in business culture as well, but the main difference is that you can change a business culture more easily than you can with a national culture. This conclusion is based on our empirical findings were we noticed that you can change the business culture through modernization, like our case study were they renewed their IS.</p><p>We come to the conclusion that it is essential for the company to have a developer who understand the companys’ needs and demands and develop business applications that can satisfy the companys’ wishes according to the existing and new norms. These norms are often set by IC: s. and developers in DC: s following them as best as they possibly can. Some of them are more successfull than others, and that is due to their cooperations with companies in IC: s. We must not forget that even though the majority of companies in Iran uses only native applications they still are mostly influenced from IC: s methodology.</p><p>As shown through our analysis and our conclusions the main reason for a business application to fail is cultural barriers where we have mentioned language, values, logics and business culture. Besides the national laws and business mentalities are also factors playing important rolls. All of these factors lead to the situation where it is insupportable to use a foreign business application. It is also very important that the consultant developing the business application has a solid understanding about the cultural differences, and a strong knowledge base about different kinds of business applications.</p>
