Victor Hugo i Acknowledgments It is a tremendous step to start writing a thesis. It took six years and the work is now over. For reaching this far I have a number of individuals to thank and be thankful to for their help. Most of all I want to thank my supervisor Hervé Dumez at I3 – Centre de Recherche en Gestion at École polytechnique. At a considerable distance and with just a few meetings per year he has followed up and balanced my work, and my thoughts about it, into a hopefully interesting and qualitative thesis. He was also very helpful with the interviews made in Paris. Thank you very much Hervé. I also want to thank the rest of the staff and researchers at the Centre de Recherche en Gestion for the positive environment every time I have visited. I also want to thank Pro-Vice-Chancellor and associate professor Malena Britz and associate professor Eva Lagg at the Swedish Defence University. They have helped and supported me with my writing while I was working on the thesis. In parallel with my thesis studies I have worked at the Swedish Defence University teaching and writing studies. It has been challenging work to combine both teaching, studies and doctoral studies and make progress with the thesis. Working at the Swedish Defence University has also assisted my work with the thesis concerning both accessible contacts and an effective Anna Lindh library. There the help from Esther Thegel cannot be underestimated. One special colleague and friend, Johan Sigholm, means very much to me and has been very important as support for the thesis as well as outside of work and thesis writing. I also want to thank my colleagues and fellow doctoral students, some former, at the Science of Command and Control and Military Technology Division at the Swedish Defence University for support and many inspiring and interesting talks and thoughts. Thank you Fredrik Johnsson, Peter Sturesson, Nicoletta Baroutsi, Björn Persson, Daniel Amman, Gazmend Huskaj, Marika Ericson, Martin Bang, Martin Schüler, and Marcus Dansarie. I also want to thank all other colleagues, teachers and researchers, who contributed to a happy and open environment. Special thanks go to the head of the Science of Command and Control and Military Technology Division Thomas Uneholt and later Ylva Pekkari who have allowed me to work on my thesis. I also want to thank the Chaired Professor in Military Technology Gunnar Hult who supported my work. Together, Thomas and Gunnar have made my study and writing of the thesis possible. ii A very important person for me during the writing of the thesis has been Maria Edlund, the health educator at the Swedish Defence University. Without her, my situation would have been different and the progress with the thesis would have been more difficult. Thank you Maria. I also want to thank my father Gunnar and my brother Martin who have supported me during the thesis process. My thoughts go to my mother who doubtless would have wanted to be here and support me but could not be here anymore. Finally, I want to thank Stephanie Vacher for help with translation when needed. It would have been much more difficult without her help. I am very grateful. Thank you!
