Frontiers in Management Research
The course aims to give the student understanding about management and organizations in different societal sectors (the industry, the public sector and the civil society), but also about management in different organizational forms (business corporations, public organizations, associations and hybrid organizations).
The course builds on knowledge from earlier courses in organization and management, but in particular has a starting point in the understanding that organizations are likely to have been established for different purposes and that different organizational forms are likely to have different capacities to fulfil different objectives.
A core theme in the course is that organizations do not passively adapt to their environments, they are more likely to actively be engaged in constructing demands directed towards them from their environments, as well as being involved in the development of the society at large.
