- Abstract
- In early 2015, one of the largest organizational reforms within public administration in Sweden was implemented - the reorganization of the Swedish Police Authority.

With that said, these issues vary between the stations, due to their individual characteristics and preconditions. The theoretical foundation that helps substantiate and explain the results is, for example, that standardization and uniformity have a tendency to create problems and a divide within dynamic organizations.
