Att rationalisera en kris : en kvalitativ studie om hur event managers skapat mening under Covid-19 / To Rationalize a Crisis : a qualitative study on how Event Managers made sense during Covid-19

Persson, Michaela, Löfman, Cecilia, Fleige, Antonia Charlotte January 2022 (has links)
I början av 2020 påverkade Covid-19-pandemin hela vårt samhälle och satte flertalet branscher i svåra situationer. Folkhälsomyndigheten införde tillsammans med regeringen olika begränsningar för offentliga och privata sammankomster i Sverige, vilket drabbade eventbranschen särskilt hårt. Åtgärderna tvingade svenska eventorganisationer att skjuta upp, ställa in eller tänka om utförandet av dess event vilket resulterade i en stor förändring och påverkan av branschen. Men under början av 2022 kom beslutet att häva de flesta restriktionerna i samhället och de event managers som fortfarande arbetade inom branschen fick möjlighet att reflektera över de upplevelser de varit med om under denna kris. Studien syftar till att studerar hur event managers rationaliserat sina upplevelser under Covid-19-pandemin. Upplevelserna analyseras genom ramverket av Weicks teori om sensemaking, som beskrivs som en process av sju ”egenskaper”. Dessa om hur individer förstår och skapar mening av komplexa samt osäkra situationer, för att finna positiva effekter av pandemin. Genom 14 semistrukturerade intervjuer med verksamma individer inom eventbranschen ger studien en djupgående bild över dess upplevelser under Covid-19. Slutsatsen som dras i studien är att event managers har rationaliserat sina upplevelser under Covid-19 genom Weicks teori om sensemaking och genom denna process har de funnit positiva effekter av krisen. Vidare visas att alla delar av processen är viktiga för att kunna skapa mening i en osäker situation som Covid-19-krisen var. Studien ger dessutom ett nytt positivt perspektiv på Covid-19-pandemins effekter och bidrar med reflektion kring hur eventbranschen påverkats. Studien är skriven på svenska. / In early 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic took over our entire society and put most industries in a difficult position. The Swedish Public Health Agency, together with the government, introduced various restrictions on public and private gatherings in Sweden, which particularly affected the event industry. The measures forced Swedish event organizations to postpone, cancel planned events or think about new ways to create value, which resulted in a major change and impact on the industry. However, in the beginning of 2022, a decision was made to have most of the restrictions removed in the society and the event managers who worked in the industry had the opportunity to reflect back on the experiences they had during this crisis. This essay studies how event managers rationalized their experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic. The experiences are analyzed through the framework of Weick's theory of sensemaking, which is described as a process of seven “properties” around how individuals understand and create meaning of complex and uncertain situations, this to find positive effects of the pandemic. The study provides an in-depth picture of event managers' experiences of Covid-19 as a crisis through 14 semi-structured interviews with individuals working in the event industry. The conclusion drawn in this study is that event managers have rationalized their experiences during Covid-19 through Weick's theory of sensemaking and through this process they have found positive effects of the crisis. Furthermore, the study shows that all parts of the process are important in order to be able to create meaning in an uncertain situation such as the Covid-19 crisis. The study also provides a new positive perspective on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and contributes with reflection on how the event industry has been affected. The study is written in Swedish.
