Sedan början av 2000-talet har hållbarhetsfrågor blivit allt viktigare i den svenska fastighetsbranschen och under den här perioden uppfördes de första miljöcertifierade byggnaderna. I september 2015 beslutade FN:s generalförsamling om Agenda 2030 som är ett program för hållbar utveckling. Sveriges regering har tagit beslut om att vara ledande i genomförandet av agendan, vilket innebär en successiv omställning till en modern och hållbar välfärdsstat. Fastighetsbranschen har en stor miljöpåverkan och det är därför viktigt att företag inom branschen arbetar med sitt miljömässiga ansvarstagande. Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva vilka värdeskapande faktorer som driver fastighetsägare till att investera i miljöcertifierade byggnader samt vilka hinder de upplever motverkar en sådan investering. Studiens teori utgörs av den befintliga litteraturen som återfinns om miljöcertifierade byggnader med utgångspunkt i grundläggande värdeteori. Empirin till den här studien har tagits fram genom en kvalitativ metod där vi gjort besöks- och telefonintervjuer med sju högt uppsatta personer inom svenska fastighetsbolag med fastigheter utspridda över ett större område i Sverige. Intervjuerna som genomförts var av semistrukturerad karaktär och därför har vi till stor del utgått från en intervjuguide. Av empirin har det framgått att respondenterna upplever vissa hinder som motverkar en investering i miljöcertifierade byggnader, men framförallt hur de många fördelarna överväger hindren och således driver dem till att genomföra en investering. I analysen kopplar vi samman studiens teorier med empirin för att beskriva både likheter och skillnader, det framkommer bland annat att empirin tenderar att vara mer positivt inställd till miljöcertifierade byggnader i jämförelse med den befintliga litteraturen. Vår slutsats är att miljöcertifierade byggnaders fördelar kommer överväga dagens hinder och att den långsiktiga ekonomiska lönsamheten kommer överväga de högre investeringsutgifterna, vilket driver fastighetsägare till att investera i sådana byggnader. / Since the beginning of the 21st century, sustainability have become increasingly important in the Swedish real estate industry and during this period the first environmentally certified buildings were built. In September 2015, the UN General Assembly decided on Agenda 2030, which is a program for sustainable development. The Swedish Government has decided to be the leader in the implementation of the agenda, which means a gradual conversion to a modern and sustainable welfare state. The real estate industry has a substantial environmental impact and it is therefore important that companies within this industry work with their environmental responsibility. The purpose of this essay is to describe which value-creating factors drive property owners to invest in environmentally certified buildings and what obstacles they experience counteract such an investment. The study's theory consists of the existing literature which is found on environmentally certified buildings based on fundamental value theory.   The empirical study for this study has been developed through a qualitative method in which we made visits and telephone interviews with seven high-ranking persons within Swedish real estate companies with properties spread over a larger area in Sweden. The interviews that have been conducted are of a semi-structured nature and it is therefore largely based on an interview guide. The empirical evidence shows that the respondents experience certain obstacles that counteract an investment in environmentally certified buildings, but above all how the many advantages outweigh the obstacles and thus drive them to carry out an investment. In the analysis, we link together the study's theories with empiricism to describe both similarities and differences. Our conclusion is that the benefits of environmentally certified buildings will outweigh the current obstacles and that the long-term economic profitability will outweigh the higher investment expenditure, which drives property owners to invest in that kind of buildings.

The interest in business benefits is an area that is constantly growing, especially in regard to the development of IT systems. As a result of this, it may be important to study the phenomenon and identify which factors and components are important for an organization to investigate when implementing a new IT system. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate organizational value creation during the implementation of a new IT system. This is done by studying system X and discovering its potential effects, as well as capturing relevant factors and describing their relationships to an organization. To investigate this area, we have conducted a qualitative case study that is consistently grounded in data. The data that we have collected throughout the work has been obtained from semi-structured interviews with daily users, as well as developers of system X. The primary findings for this study that have been discovered are mainly five factors that can affect business benefits. The overarching theme that has emerged is that communication is a large part that permeates most factors, although there are other important aspects that contribute to understanding business benefits.
