Denna uppsats syftar på att studera sektorsöverskridande samverkan i en kommun utifrån ett integrationsprojekt som fallstudie. Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkter baseras på organisering, governance och gränser. Dessa har använts för att studera hur integrationsprojektet kan förstås som organisering och form av governance för att lösa problem och bemöta behov och krav på offentlig verksamhet. Metoden för denna studie har utgått från sju kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer men även sekundärdata. Resultatet av studien påvisar att samverkan är vanligt förekommande inom kommunen och att de effekterna samt lärdomar från projektets gång tas med och arbetas vidare i andra samverkansprojekt. / This essay aims to study cross-sector collaboration in a municipality based on an integration project as a case study. The study's theoretical starting points are based on organization, governance and boundaries. These have been used to study how the integration project can be understood as an organization and form of governance to solve problems and meet the needs and requirements of public activities. The method for this study has been based on seven qualitative semi-structured interviews but also secondary data. The results of the study demonstrate that collaboration is common within the municipality and that the effects and lessons learned from the course of the project are taken and worked on in other collaboration projects.

Social innovation brings about sustainability which is regarded as a new paradigm for development. In order to bring about social innovation, cross-sector collaboration among different actors is required. However, it is known that establishing cross-sector collaboration is very complex, especially in a penta helix model where the public administration, business, academia, third sector and citizens are all involved. The research aims to investigate the initial conditions for establishing penta helix collaboration in the context of co-produced social innovation from the perspectives of core co-producers. Through a case study of ReTuren, a co-produced public platform for waste handling and prevention in Malmö, Sweden, the research finds out four themes of initial conditions, viz. environment, resources, relationships, and strategy. It is also discussed that the significance of these conditions to the collaboration establishment can depend on the development stage of the social innovation initiative. The research also provides new insights about the unclear boundary and the flexible role of each sector in the penta helix model. Based on the findings, an adapted model of initial conditions from Bryson et al. (2015) for penta helix collaboration in social innovation is created.
