The COG cluster brings together a diverse group of international scholars who focus their research activities on

1) organizational dynamics, management practices, governance structures and forms of communication and discourse in both private companies and public institutions and

2) the variety of social, cultural, economic and/or political contexts in which these sets of activities and institutions intersect and interact, in particular global and intercultural contexts.

The scholars in the COG group bring a broad range of theoretical perspectives to bear on the four keywords that define the cluster. These include organization theory, organizational communication, business ethics and corporate social responsibility, marketing and consumer behavior, semiotics and discourse analysis, globalization theory, governance theory and cultural studies. Regional interests cover a broad spectrum that includes the Nordic region, Europe more generally, Germany, France, Japan and the USA.

Representative individual and group research projects include:
