Abstract [sv]

Denna fallstudie presenterar forskning om vad som kan påverka framgången för internationella teknikföretag när det kommer till att etablera sig i det svenska medielandskapet. Sverige ses som ett nav för innovation och med globalisering samt framväxten av kommunikationsteknologier kan företag bedriva sin verksamhet på andra marknader än deras ursprung, vilket gör det viktigt att förstå vad som kan påverka framgången med att etablera sig i det svenska medielandskapet när man genomför kommunikationsinsatser. Denna fallstudie består av 7 semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre typer av medieproffs, (1) interna mediaproffs, (2) externa PR-specialister och (3) journalister. Resultaten visar att det finns sex faktorer som kan påverka framgången med att etablera sig i det svenska medielandskapet för internationella techföretag; (1) realistiska förväntningar, (2) bra timing, (3) nyheter kopplade till samhälleliga utmaningar och möjligheter, (4) en förståelse för hur medielandskapet fungerar, (5) lokala talespersoner och valid data, samt (6) relevans för målgruppen.

Abstract [en]

This case study presents research on what can affect the success of international tech companies establishing a presence on the Swedish media landscape. Sweden is seen as a hub for innovation and with globalisation and the rise of communication technologies, companies are able to conduct their business in different markets than their origin, making it important to understand what can affect the success of establishing a presence on the Swedish media landscape when conducting communications efforts. This case study consists of 7 semi-structured interviews with three types of media professionals, (1) in-house media professionals, (2) external PR-specialists, and (3) journalists. The results show there are six factors which can affect the success of establishing a presence on the Swedish media landscape for international tech companies; (1) realistic expectations, (2) good timing, (3) news connected to societal challenges and opportunities, (4) an understanding of how the media landscape operates, (5) local spokespeople and valid data, and (6) relevance for the target audience.
