Department of Organization

"At the Department of Organization, we study the way in which activities, people and artefacts are organized in a world influenced by uncertainty, ambiguity and complexity. We strive to deliver exceptional research and education that will make it possible for us to think, lead and organize things differently."

New Velux Foundation Research Programme at IOA

What Makes Organization? Resuscitating organization theory/revitalizing organizational life
Paul du Gay and Signe Vikkelsø from IOA are leading a research programme which is funded by the Velux Foundation, and will run for three years from January, 2011.
The programme aims to investigate the historical and contemporary ability of Organization Theory (OT) both to analyze and to intervene in the experience of organizational life. This aim will be pursued through two mutually related strands of research: a) an analysis of the changing relationship between organization theory as an intellectual and practical discipline and the problems besetting modern organizations b) an historical analysis of classic, albeit largely forgotten or ignored, organization theories in order to explore their potential for helping to address contemporary organizational and societal concerns. In so doing, a key objective of the programme is to revitalize Organization Theory as a practical enterprise centrally concerned with describing, analyzing and intervening in organizational life.
