Organization and Society
Organization and Society

About us
“Organization and society” is an interdisciplinary research group to support, coordinate and draw synergies from a broad range of research in and on organizations.
Members of the group have varying disciplinary backgrounds ranging from sociology, political science, sports sciences, over social anthropology and management research, to communication and media studies. The group is closely connected to the teaching activities in all the department’s study programs, but especially demonstrated by the Master's program in Organization, Digitalization, Administration and Work and the executive education program in Organization and Leadership. The group members are involved, individually and in collaboration, in several research activities related to organizations and society.
