A major Norwegian co-operative faces major challenges in regards to increased competition and a changing market situation. To which extent will the climate for innovation in the company define the employee’s ability and will to change? And, how will management focus on innovation influence employee behavior? The result of the case study shows that the company has no clear focus on innovation or strategy to build an innovation climate. The study is of general interest as it underlines theories by Kaufmann &amp; Kaufmann (2003), Ekvall (1996, 1997) og Gjelsvik (2004), as well as the need for top management involvement and crystal clear communication in regards to building an innovative organization.

Denne oppgaven undersøker mulige psykososiale helseeffekter hos palestinsk ungdom etter deltakelse i teaterprosjekt. Oppgaven ser på hvilke ulike muligheter og naturlige tråder som mer eller mindre kan knyttes mellom drama- og teaterfagfeltet og ny psykologisk forskning med menneskets tanker, erfaringer, reaksjoner og psykososiale helse i fokus. Forskningsprosjektet opererer på to nivåer. Jeg har brukt innhentet empiri fra et feltarbeidsopphold ved Ashtarteater i Ramallah i Palestina og jeg har tilnærmet meg ulike typer teori. Analysen er delt inn i fire underkategorier basert på mine empiriske funn: det samfunnspolitiske og kommunikative aspektet, det sosiale, det emosjonelle og mentale og det fysiske. Etter endt analyse står jeg igjen med at teater som en likeverdig, tilrettelagt og konstruktiv arena kan tilføre ungdom tryggheten og erfaringene de trenger for å kunne oppleve en form for positivselv transformasjon og videre posttraumatisk vekst. / This thesis examines the possible psychosocial health effects on Palestinian youth after participation in a theatre project. The thesis looks at the various options and natural threads that more or less can be seen between drama and theatre studies and new psychological research with human thoughts, experiences, reactions and psychosocial health in focus. The research operate son two levels. I have used empirical data obtained from a stay at Ashtar Theatre in Ramallah in Palestine and I have approached various theories. The analysis is divided into four subcategories based on my empirical findings: the socio-political and communicative, the social, the emotional and mental and the physical aspect. By summarizing the analysis, I find that theatre as an equal, accessible and constructive arena can provide youth confidence and experience that enables them to experience a form of positive self-transformation and posttraumatic growth.
