Förslag till vidare forskning

Samtliga fyra av de företag vi undersökt har haft sitt moderbolag i Sverige och dotterbolagen i utlandet. Detta kan ligga till grund för att det Svenska synsättet på verksamhetsstyrning har präglats över hela koncernen. Hade vi istället undersökt bolag var moderbolag är lokaliserat i utlandet hade eventuellt inte resultatet blivit detsamma gällande samtliga kategorier.

Med tanke på globaliseringens historia och hur denna påverkat verksamhetsstyrningen är det spännande att blicka framåt i tiden. Med tanke på den utveckling som hittills skett, som sker just i detta nu, och som rimligen borde ske i framtiden är det logiskt att anta att gränser mellan länder beträffande verksamhetsstyrning undan för undan suddas ut. Vi får en öppnare värld och verksamhetsstyrning kan ske på ett mer enhetligt sätt.

7.1 Förslag till vidare forskning

Vår undersökning är relativt ytlig och en mer ingående fallstudie med ett flertal intervjuer på varje bolag skulle kunna ge en spännande infallsvinkel åt en ny undersökning. Extra intressant vore det om intervjupersonerna hade varit spridda i organisationen, så att olika perspektiv kan ges på hur verksamhetsstyrningen uppfattas. Vi har gjort en bred undersökning, hade vi istället fokuserat en av de påverkande variablerna hade vi förmodligen kunnat dra mer signifikanta slutsatser.
