Abstract [sv]

Denna studie har undersökt hur en svensk konsultbyrå som arbetar både internt och externt har implementerat digitala konferensverktyg som har blivit påtvingade av Covid-19 pandemin. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ fallstudie där totalt sex digitala intervjuer gjordes med tre konsulter, en konsultchef, en kommunikationschef och en försäljningschef. Resultatet har analyserats med hjälp av Kim och Chungs (2017) teoretiska ramverk. Studiens teoretiska implikationer är att tvång av anpassning förändrar dynamiken av en implementeringsprocess, att implementeringsprocessen ej är linjär. Studiens praktiska implikationer är att tvång, även om det anses oetiskt, kan användas som ett styrredskap, men även att en ledning som kompetensutvecklar och skapar trygghet underlättar innovationsimplementering.

Abstract [en]

This study has examined how a Swedish consulting firm which works both internally and externally has implemented digital conference tools that have been imposed by the global pandemic Covid-19. The study is based on a qualitative case study where a total of six digital interviews were conducted with three consultants, one consulting manager, one communications manager and one sales manager. The results have been analyzed using Kim and Chung's (2017) theoretical framework. The theoretical implications of the study is that the forced aspect changes the dynamics of an implementation process and that the process is not linear. The practical implications of the study is that force, even if it is regarded unethical, can be used as a management tool, but also that a top-management that develops the skills of the workforce and that creates a sense of safety facilitates innovation implementation.
