Sustainable businesses organisation and digitalisation
Societal change is largely driven by organisations (businesses). Change for business is often driven by digitalisation. At the same time, today’s dynamic business environment requires businesses to be flexible, adaptive, efficient, and yet innovative. Businesses, thus, need to be agile. We research what businesses need to be able to do to thrive.
What we offer
We commit to advancing knowledge in various organisational processes and their implications across diverse contexts and transformative business landscapes. Adding fundamental knowledge about organisational dynamics, we study structures and strategies of organisations, the emergence of novel forms of organising such as not-for-profit entities, and the role of organisations in value-based networks.
We analyze the transformative effects of emerging (digital) technologies on organisational structures, workflows, and employee roles. New technologies (e.g., AI) shape organisational practices and decision-making processes.
We explore how organisations reshape their resource base, restructure their internal organisation and modes of governance, and cultivate their human resources. We examine multilevel organisational processes, and explore how academia influences societal stakeholders, and vice versa.
Employing a diversity of qualitative and quantitative research methods, we do so with a view to understanding better how businesses can perform themselves, as well as contribute to a more sustainable society.
