Long-lasting relationships : A study examining long-lasting relationships significance to the forms of collaboration in event projects (English)
Abstract [sv]

Den här studien har undersökt vilken betydelse långvariga relationer har för samarbetsformerna mellan eventföretag och leverantörer i evenemangsprojekt. Studien utförde semistrukturerade intervjuer med eventföretag för att få en djupare förståelse. Sex framgångsrika eventföretag intervjuades, företagen hade antingen blivit nominerade eller vunnit branschtävlingen Gyllene Hjulet. För att skaffa sig en förståelse av vilken betydelse långvariga relationer har för samarbetsformerna har teorier om samarbete utgjort grunden för den teoretiska referensramen. Samarbetsformerna undersöktes med de fem samarbetsvariablerna: avsikt, symmetri av fördelar, interaktion, engagemang och förtroende. Teorier om projektlivscykeln och långvariga relationer förekommer också i den teoretiska referensramen. De fem samarbetsvariablerna undersöktes i projektlivscykelns faser; förstudie, planering och avslut för att undersöka samarbetet innan och efter genomförandefasen i evenemangsprojekt. Teorierna om långvariga relationer är i huvudsak till för att redogöra längden och fördelarna med att ha en långvarig relation. Studien kom slutligen fram till att de långvariga relationerna påverkar samarbetsformerna genom att arbetsprocessen blir effektiviserad och kvalitén på leveransen blir högre. Resultatet innebär att långvariga relationer har en positiv påverkan på samarbetsformerna och det gynnar både eventföretagen och leverantörerna.

Abstract [en]

This study has examined what significance a long-lasting relationship has for the forms of collaboration between Swedish event companies and suppliers in event projects. This study executed semi-structured interviews with event companies to accomplish a deeper understanding. Six successful event companies were interviewed, the companies had either been nominated or won the industry competition called Gyllene Hjulet. To acquire an understanding of the significance of a long-lasting relationship for the form of collaboration, theories about collaboration were included as the foundation for the theoretical frame of reference. The form of collaboration was analysed with the five collaboration variables: intention, symmetry of benefits, interaction, engagement, and trust. Theories about the project life cycle and long-lasting relationships are also included in the study’s theoretical frame of reference. The five collaboration variables are investigated through the phases in the project life cycle: initiation, planning and closure with the intention to study collaboration before and after the execution phase of the event projects. Theories about long-lasting relationships are mainly applied to define the length of the relationship, as well as what are its benefits. The study finally concluded that the long-lasting relationships affect the forms of collaboration by making the work process more efficient and the quality of the delivery higher. The result investigates that long-lasting relationships have a positive impact on the forms of collaboration, and it benefits both the event companies and the suppliers. Disclaimer this study is written in Swedish.
