Vad hände med beslutet Gröna Skolgårdar?

The purpose of this paper has been to follow how a decision made has developed within anorganization. We have intended to find underlying causes for the development in order to contribute to the understanding of the lifecycle of decisions. The decision we have chosen is Gröna Skolgårdar (Green School Yards) within the city of Västerås. This project has aimed to make the school yards in Västerås more green, more beautiful and more useful for teaching. We have used Grounded Theory Method as our foundation, complemented with decisionmaking theory. The work with this paper has led to the conclusion that Gröna Skolgårdar changed over time, and did not turn out as first intended. This has had several couses such as how resources wasdistributed, political changes, and different views of the project. We have learned that over time a decision can take unexpected paths, and we have contributed with an example of how this can happen
