Today, researchers and industry representatives discuss a number of new organizational forms deviating from the bureaucratic organization. Some researchers speaks of "the post-bureaucratic organization" as an umbrella terms capturing various "projectified" and virtual organization forms. In public speech, the notion of bureaucracy has a negative flair. As opposed to this negative view of bureaucracy, suggesting it is largely an outmoded organization model, the research project postulates that the bureaucratic organization forms are becoming relevant anew. The research project will study Swedish companies with foreign owners (e.g. American or British) which are becoming re-bureaucratized and how they deal with issues of creativity and innovation in the face of more detailed monitoring of activities. The study is focused on the pharmaceutical industry and the automotive industry. In the pharmaceutical industry, increasingly larger investments are dedicated to new drug development, yet the amount of new so-called "blockbuster-drugs" are reduced. In the automotive industry, product development is becoming determined by platforms and tighter R&D budgets. In methodological terms, the research project will be based on a qualitative method and include interviews and participant observations. Individuals working with new drug development and new product development will be interviewed by the research team.
