In particular, we focus on organizational transformation from multiple perspectives and using a multi-disciplinary approach. First, we study idealtypes of organizational transformation: ideas (e.g., agile, sustainability, new organizational forms) that have the potential to transform organizations. Second, we research transformers of organizations: actors inside and outside organizations that hold the ability to transform both ideas and organizations (e.g., consultants, gurus, managers, professional service firms). Third, we explore conditions for (e.g., communication, identity construction, emotions) and effects of organizational transformation, including 'unintended' implications (e.g., exclusion, paradoxes of organizing).
Informed by state-of-the-art research, our team provides courses in the Bachelor Business Administration (“Bedrijfskunde”) and the Bachelor International Business Administration, with courses on Organization Theory and Management Consulting. We also run a Management Consulting specialisation as part of the 1-year fulltime Master in Business Administration and we host the Knowledge Hub for Consulting and Professional Service Firms.
