My thesis is focused on the theme "The specifics of leadership and management of associates in the construction company”. First section describes the construction, building company and its surroundings. Than it deals with theories of associates leadership and management and employee motivation theories. In the practical part it examines to what extent the specificity of construction reflects in the personal and professional relationships among colleagues.

The Meisner Technique emerged as a part of the realist, modern theatre of the early-Twentieth Century and extended its influence through the rest of that century, including the 1960s and 1970s when there was an explosion of various forms of postmodern performance. This work will demonstrate that while Meisner’s Technique is a part of the paradigm of modern, realist theatre, it simultaneously challenges this ideology with disruptive processes of the sort that postmodern performance instigates. It is the thesis of this work that the Meisner Technique operates according to a set of phenomenologically-aligned imperatives that create strong resonances with certain forms of postmodern performance. This establishes the dynamic wherein the Meisner Technique is able to enter into discourse with instances of the postmodern paradigm of performance. In the first three chapters I will conduct in-depth analyses of Meisner actors’ relationships with their environment, their fellow performers, and their actions from a range of phenomenological perspectives. In the fourth chapter I will apply the conclusions of these analyses to the operation of the Meisner Technique within the paradigm of modern, realist theatre. In the fifth chapter I will set a backdrop to the postmodern field and suggest the issues from this tradition with which the Meisner Technique might resonate. Chapters Six, Seven, and Eight each take one example of an artist from the postmodern field, Richard Foreman, Michael Kirby, and Robert Wilson respectively, establishes their own particular context, and suggests those processes relating to acting/performing technique that might provoke the most productive exchanges. This juxtaposition suggests the places between the practices where discourse might take root and suggests the beginnings of such dialogues.

I denna rapport undersöks vilka problem det finns i samarbetet mellan JM Entreprenad AB och dess underentreprenörer. Med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med arbetsledare och platschefer, från både underentreprenörer och JM Entrepren ad AB, har vi fått synpunkter på vilka dessa problem är, vad konsekvenserna blir och eventuella lösningar på problemen.  Åtta stycken punkter som vi kallar ”teman” i rapporten, har framförts från intervjukandidaterna. Det är punkter som påverkar samarbetet mellan parterna ute i produktionen. De lyder som följer:  -     Säkerhet (arbetsmiljösäkerhet -     Lagbas kontra arbetsledare   -     Arbetsberedningar   -     Samarbetet mellan olika underentreprenörer   -     Möten (byggmöte och basmöte)   -     Arbetslivserfarenhet   -     Ändrings- och tilläggsarbeten   -     Tidsplanering   Den insamlande informationen är analyserad och presenterad enligt ovanstående teman med en tematisk analys. På så sätt blir resultatet överskådligt och lättare att presentera för läsaren.  Vår slutsats är att samarbetet mellan JM Entreprenad A B och underentreprenörerna kan påverkas i positiv riktning om de åtta punkterna beaktas. Vi styrker denna slutsats med att samtliga teman är hämtade direkt från idag aktiva arbetsledare och platschefer. / In this report we investigate the problems in the cooperation between JM Entreprenad AB and its subcontractors.  With the aid of semi constructed interviews with supervisors and foremen, from both the subcontractors and JM Entreprenad AB, we have received point of views on what these problems are, what the consequences are and eventual solutions to solve the problems.  Eight points that we refer to as “themes” in the report, has been brought forth by interviewed supervisors and foremen. These are points that affect the cooperation between the two sides out in the production. They list as follows:   -     Safety   -     Foreman or Supervisor   -     Work preparations   -     The cooperation between different subcontractors   -     Meetings   -     Work experience   -     Change and added work   -     Planning   The information received is analyzed and presented according to themes derived with a thematic analysis. That ensures that the results become easier to present to the reader.  Our conclusion is that the cooperation between JM Entreprenad AB and its subcontractors can be influenced in a positive direction if these eight themes are considered. We underline this conclusion with the point that all these themes derive s directly from supervisors and site managers.
