   Sammanfattning : This thesis took its point of departure in the lack of research regarding the intricate and important relationship between roles and routines. With roles and routines providing individuals with enough discretion to accomplish work while ensuring consistency, the overall research question posed was: how do roles and routines interplay to enable flexible performances?

The purpose was to increase the understanding of the interplay of roles and routines in organizations. LÄS MER
