Risk and crisis management based on the strategy of Business Continuity Management (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Då kriser inträffar allt oftare är det av stor vikt för organisationer att ha en utvecklad strategi för att hantera dessa störningar. Ett sätt för att hantera risker och kriser är Business Continuity Management som involverar hela processen med planering av åtgärder i förväg, krishantering samt utvärdering efter krisen.

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att identifiera och analysera teorierna kring Business Continuity Management samt huruvida dessa tillämpas praktiskt i stora svenska tillverkande företag. Vidare ämnar studien skapa en djupare förståelse kring hur de studerade företagen, med hjälp av jämförelser och granskning, agerar under en rådande krissituation.

Metod: Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med där den empiriska materialinsamlingen har skett via semistrukturerade intervjuer. Ytterligare empiriskt material är de studerade företagens års- och kvartalsrapporter. En komparativ forskningsdesign har tillämpats, vilken möjliggör för jämförelser mellan de studerade företagens användning av BCM.

Slutsats: Studien kan konstatera att inget utav de studerade företagen tillämpar Business Continuity Management fullt ut. Däremot nyttjas modeller och strategier som ligger i linje med den teoretiska referensramen för BCM.

Abstract [en]

Background: As crisis occur more and more frequently around the world, it is vital for organizations to have an implemented strategy to cope with these disruptions. One way to manage these crises is Business Continuity Management which involves the entire process of planning actions in advance, crisis management and post-crisis evaluation.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to identify and analyse the theories related to Business Continuity Management and whether these theories practically applies in Swedish manufacturing companies. Furthermore, the study aims to create a deeper understanding of how the studied companies, by means of comparisons and review, act in a crisis situation.

Method: The thesis is based on a qualitative research method where the empirical material collection has been done via semi-structured interviews. Further empirical material is the annual and quarterly reports of the companies studied. A comparative research design has been applied, which allows for comparisons between the studied companies' use of BCM.

Conclusion: The study finds that none of the studied companies fully applies Business Continuity Management. However, models and strategies that are in line with the theoretical frame of reference for BCM are used.
