In this work, the author looked deeper into collective’s work, what was the current organizational structure and finding out things that have to be changed/implemented in the future.

As a result of this research, the author aims to find tools to establish better organisational structure for MYÖS Ry collective which would reflect on ability to develop the quality of different things such as: produced content, both old and new members’ motivation and satisfaction, internal relations, external communications and all the components that relate to successful management. Qualitative research methods, such as semi-structured interview and observation, were implemented.
