Research at the Department of Business Administration

The research at the Department of Business Administration has a strong academic character and is empirically oriented with studies of both public organisations and private businesses. In addition to the internal operations of organisations, the focus is also on the broader socio-economic, cultural and political conditions in which organisations operate. The researchers at the department have extensive contacts with industry, the public sector and other researchers in their subject areas and build both national and international networks.
