Abstract
This chapter presents a number of patterns that surfaced during a series of interviews around the subject of Information Management, held in 17 large Swedish multi-national companies in the year 2002 (Ulbrich & Nilsson, 2002). The content is mainly empirical but the findings are analysed according to one of Mats Lundebergs's frameworks: different levels of abstraction (Lundeberg, 1993). Besides presenting the empirical findings, the purpose of the chapter is to picture how this model can be used in practice and to discuss what kind of patterns may occur while using it.
