Syfte: Enligt tidigare forskning tenderar företagsförvärv att misslyckas och inte ge det eftersökta värdet. Integrationen är en del av förvärvet som anses vara en svår uppgift och därmed är huvudsyftet i denna studie att ge en ökad förståelse för den sociokulturella integrationen efter ett företagsförvärv. Delsyftet blir därmed att belysa ledningens roll och faktorer som berör mänskliga aspekter som kan vara viktiga att beakta vid en integration. Metod: Studien har utgått från ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv där fenomenet som studerats ses vara av socialkonstruktivistisk art. Teori och empiri har arbetats fram iterativt med hjälp av abduktion där grunden för studien har varit i form av en fallstudie med ett kvalitativt angreppssätt genom halvstrukturerade intervjuer. Datainsamlingen och analysen i studien har använt grounded theory som inspirationskälla för tillvägagångssättet. Resultat & slutsats: Studien tyder på att det finns en balansgång mellan att besvara medarbetarnas frågor och bibehålla de långsiktiga målen. De främsta aspekterna som funnits under denna studie är att ledningen har en stor roll i att samordna alla delar för att möjliggöra en lyckad integration där kommunikation ses som en väsentlig aspekt att beakta. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Integration av organisationskultur kan ses ur flera perspektiv och denna studie är avgränsad till sociokulturell integration ur ledningens perspektiv. Dessutom finns även fler forskningsområden inom organisationskultur som är intressanta att studera vidare inom. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studiens bidrag som kan användas inom andra områden är balansgången mellan att beakta individerna samt lyssna på dem och deras frågor, men att samtidigt försöka fokusera på det långsiktiga målet. Individerna är den stora nyckeln som inte får försummas för då riskeras allt eftersom jobbet inte blir utfört. / Aim: According to previous research acquisitions have a tendency not to provide the aimed value. Therefore the main purpose of this study is to give an enhanced understanding of the socio-cultural integration after a merger. The study also aims to illustrate the role of leaders and human aspects that can be important to consider when integrating. Method: This study has a hermeneutic perspective with a base of social constructivism. The theory and the empirical material have been approached iteratively with the help of abduction method. The design of the study is a case study with a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews. When collecting and analyzing the empirical material the study has been inspired by grounded theory.          Result & Conclusion: The study indicates that there is a balance act between answering the employees’ questions while maintaining the long term goals. The main aspects in this study are that the management has a big role to coordinate and enable a successful integration, where communication has been seen as one of the most important aspects to consider.    Suggestions for future research: Integration of organizational culture can be seen from different perspectives and this study is defined to socio-cultural integration from a leader’s perspective. In addition there also exist several research areas within organizational culture that are of interest.         Contribution of the thesis: The contribution from this study is the balance act between consider employees’ and their questions, but at the same time try to maintain focus on the company’s long term goals. The individuals hold the key and cannot be neglected because the organization then is at risk of not performing.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the social studies subject can be usedas a means to integrate immigrant students into the Swedish school and society, withfocus on how pedagogical methods and policies can be optimized to support saidstudents. The study is using the theoretical frameworks multicultural education andsocio-cultural integration to later on analyze the empirical evidence. Themethodology of the study is a litterature-based approach to analyze existing researchfindings and policy documents to understand current practices and their effectivenessin promoting integration. The findings highlight that while there are some robustpedagogical strategies such as differentiated and culturally responsive instruction,significant gaps remain in their consistent application in schools. The study highlightsimportant challenges such as language barriers, the relevance of curriculum andsubject content, and the effective integration and use of digital tools, which can oftenhinder immigrant students’ educational experiences. Based on the analysis, the studyshows that it is important to improve teacher training so that teachers get theknowledge and tools to manage a multicultural classroom, improve the integration ofdigital tools and access to those resources and develop clearer policies to have clearerguidelines regarding the school’s integration work

In 2015, Sweden was one of the exemplary member states of the European Union that took in a disproportionate number of refugees. Five years later, Sweden has adopted much stricter migration policies restricting access to residence permits and citizenship. The focus has shifted to integration policies aimed at including refugees in the host society. Integration has become widely accepted as a process that is primarily a proactive adaptation and assimilation on the side of the newcomers, rather than a dynamic two-way process. Moreover, this paper argues that integration has largely been reduced to the socio-economic dimension and ignored the sociocultural dimension that is central to the integration process. Using Axel Honneth’s Theory of Recognition as a theoretical base to understand the importance of sociocultural dialogue and interpersonal integration, this paper shines a light on the problematics of current integration policies and its effects. Using empirical research this paper aims to explore the host societies understanding of integration and using Foucauldian discourse analysis the theoretical framework andSaid’s Orientalist critique, expose an underlying power dynamic between host-society and newcomers. Shining light both on governance and socio-cultural dynamics, this paper explores the gap left in sociocultural integration through the lack of dialogue and solidarity has affected the social reality of immigrants in Sweden.
