Culture, Organization and Management

Have you ever noticed how, despite all the planning ahead, things turn out completely different from what was planned? Or how difficult it can be to get people to work together? Organisations are typically complex. There’s no one-size-fits-all management solution. Cultural bias comes into play. People make mistakes. Messages get lost along the way. It’s this focus on complexity and backstage behaviour that sets this master’s programme apart, as no other university offers this human-centred perspective on organizations and management. Explore key issues of culture and identity in the ever-changing world of management and organizations. The masters' programme of Culture, Organization and Management puts organizational problems in a broader social and cultural perspective.
