You will work in an international, multi brand R&D environment and gain first hand insight into an ongoing organizational and digital transformation.\n\nBackground\nTRATON Group R&D Base Engine is undergoing an organizational and digital transformation towards a more integrated multi-brand R&D environment, with common processes and new ways of working.\nEffective integration goes beyond formal structures and processes. It depends on how people collaborate, how information and knowledge flow across organizational boundaries, and how digital systems support engineering work. Understanding these interactions is key to developing a more integrated engineering value flow.\nObjective\nThe objective of this thesis is to explore how people, ways of working, information flows, and digital systems influence engineering value flow, and to propose recommendations for continued organizational and digital transformation.\nUsing a systems-thinking perspective, the study will examine different stakeholder perspectives, identify key enablers and constraints, and explore desirable and feasible changes towards a more integrated engineering value flow.\nJob Description\n\nThe thesis work will combine theoretical study with an empirical investigation of the ongoing transformation within a multi-brand R&D environment.\nYour work will include:\n· Conducting a literature review on engineering value flow, systems thinking, digital transformation, information systems, and organizational change.\n· Mapping the current engineering value flow across organizational and brand boundaries.\n· Conducting semi-structured interviews to understand different stakeholder perspectives, ways of working, information flows, and digital systems.\n· Applying a systems thinking approach, to identify key enablers and constraints affecting an integrated engineering value flow.\n· Developing desirable and feasible improvement proposals and recommendations to support continued organizational and digital transformation.\nExpected Deliverables\n· A current-state mapping of the engineering value flow.\n· A systemic analysis of key enablers, constraints, and stakeholder perspectives.\n· A conceptual future-state proposal for a more integrated engineering value flow.\n· Practical recommendations for continued organizational and digital transformation.\nEducation/program/focus\n\nWe are looking for a curious, motivated, and analytical Master’s student with a strong interest in digital transformation, information systems, systems thinking, and organizational development. You are interested in understanding complex organizational problems and how people, ways of working, information flows, and digital systems interact in an engineering environment.\nYou should be comfortable working independently, conducting qualitative analysis, and communicating with stakeholders from different roles and organizational backgrounds.\nPreferred qualifications\n· Master’s-level studies in Information Systems, Informatics or a related field.\n· Interest in digital transformation, organizational change, and engineering development processes.\n· Interest in systems thinking and qualitative research methods.\n· Ability to conduct and analyze interviews with stakeholders from different organizational perspectives.\n· Strong analytical and communication skills.\n· Fluency in English, both written and spoken.\nIndicate education, program or focus:Information Systems\nNumber of students:1\nStart date for the thesis work: January 2027\nEstimated time required:20 weeks\nContact persons and supervisors\n\nMagnus Karlsson, Unit Manager TGRPCEF, \nApplication:\nYour application must include a CV, personal letter and transcript of grades\nA background check might be conducted for this position.
