Bakgrund: För att förbättra kommunikationen mellan aktörer i byggprojekt under produktionsskedet finns stor potential i att implementera nya information- och kommunikationsteknologier. I litteraturen förklaras implementeringar av dessa teknologier utifrån flera olika aspekter. En aspekt vars inverkan dock inte studerats i stor utsträckning är hur den tidpunkt som byggprojektet befinner sig i påverkar implementeringen, trots att tidsaspekten är en av projektet som organisationsforms viktigaste särdrag. Syfte: Studien syftar till att utforska förutsättningarna för implementering av informations- och kommunikationsteknologier i byggproduktion under olika faser av produktionsskedet. Metod: Studien utgår från teorier kring innovationsprocessen, implementering av innovation och teknologi tillsammans med teorier kring projektbaserat arbete och spårbundenhet i organisationer. Studien är genomförd som en fallstudie på byggbolaget Skanska där två byggprojekt undersöks i dess produktionsskede. Intervjuer genomfördes där faktorer bakom implementeringsprocessen av informations- och kommunikationsteknologier och förändringar av förutsättningar för denna process mellan två tidpunkter, produktionsstarten och mitt i produktionsskedet, kunde visas. Slutsatser: Studien visar att förutsättningarna för implementering av teknologier i byggproduktion förändras under produktionsskedet. Två huvudsakliga skillnader i förutsättningar identifierades, större tillgänglighet av tidsresurser och förekomst av aktiviteter som formar normen vid produktionsstarten jämfört med mitt i produktionsskedet. Studien visar även att dessa förutsättningar har en stor inverkan på implementeringen av teknologier vilket hindrar implementering av teknologier efter produktionsstarten. / Background: To improve communication between actors in construction projects during production phase there is great potential of new information and communication technologies. The literature explains the implementations of these technologies from several aspects. One aspect, which needs further research, is how the period which a construction project is in impacts the implementation, since the time aspect is one of the most important characteristics of a project. Purpose: This study aims to explore the prerequisites for implementing new information and communication technologies in production during different periods of the production phase of a construction project. Methodology: This study is based on theories on the innovation process, implementation process of innovation and technology together with theories on project management and path dependency in organizations. The study was conducted as a case study at the construction company Skanska, where two construction projects were investigated in their respective production phase. Interviews were conducted where factors behind the implementation process of information and communication technologies were shown. Changed prerequisites for this process between two of the project’s phases, the production start and the middle of production phase, were also revealed. Conclusions: This study shows that the prerequisites for implementing technologies in construction change during the construction phase. Two major differences were identified; greater availability of time resources and the presence of activities that form the norm, at the start of production compared to the middle of the production phase. This study also shows that these prerequisites have a major impact on the implementation of technologies, which result in difficulties in implementing the technologies after the start of the production.

This thesis examines first-line managers' perceptions about their organizational prerequisites for trust-based governance and management through a case study within the municipality of Norrköping, focusing on the public home care organization. A qualitative research design was used in the thesis based on first-line managers perceptions of the organizational prerequisites for an ideal trust-based governance and management. The material has been analyzed through an ideal-type analysis based on central elements within the governing principles of market, bureaucracy, and trust. An overall picture gives the impression that the organizational prerequisites primarily is perceived as being well-functioning for the ideal of trust-based governance and management. It is also considered that certain organizational prerequisites are less well-functioning for the ideal. Furthermore, the thesis indicates certain organizational prerequisites which are seen as central to the ideal. This thesis provides some empirical evidence that a balance between the governing principles of market, bureaucracy, and trust is perceived as essential to achieve the ideal of trust-based governance and management in the given context. At the same time, the thesis indicates that a greater emphasis on trust as a governing principle is perceived as desirable to achieve the optimal balance for the ideal in the given context. In addition, the study depicts that there is some path dependence that affects the view of the organizational prerequisites for an ideal trust-based governance and management in the managerial role. This means that a legacy of market-inspired and bureaucratic instruments is perceived to prevent the trust-based management philosophy from having a greater impact on the organization.
