The same picture emerges in the reports from Pite . The annual reports, from both municipalities, are more focused on economy and the internal process than on customers and future development. There are a few differences though. Sandviken have a more customised perspective and they have achieved co-operation between different sectors and with other kinds of local actors such as sports clubs, pensioners club and business associations. The study also shows that the two organisations differ when it comes to the way the management distributes the financial resources between the local committees.
Different information is used to ground their decisions.
This lead to the fact that Sandviken is able to adapt to changes in the service requirements to a larger extent than Pite . The expert resources for the different sectors are central-ised to the overall municipality committee in Sandviken and the management is working very independently in relation to the formal hierarchical organisation. In Pite , the local government committees have the resources at their own dis-posal and the formal structure constitutes the actual structure for the projects. The result verifies that there are differences between the two different kinds of organisations concerning the information that is transferred from the local level to the municipality level. They lack the knowledge to specify what effects co-operation between different sectors actually have on the quality of service.
