- Abstract (Swedish)
- Most companies organize their employees into different functions based on their main activity. The performance and output of the company is often strongly correlating to the level of collaboration between these functions. When communication between the functions becomes hindered, they have become so called functional silos, as information is kept within them.
The purpose is to identify how the functional silo syndrome affect SME’s operations, how it arises and how it can be mitigated.
