Welcome to our research platform »ORGANIZATIONS & SOCIETY«
Adopting different research perspectives is crucial to an in-depth understanding of trends and developments in contemporary organizations & society
»Organizations & Society« is an interdisciplinary research platform at the University of Innsbruck encompassing a network of researchers from various fields, such as political science and sociology, business studies, education, psychology, and media studies. Together, we aim to inquire into economic and societal change and its implications for organizations and society at large.
Our researchers investigate new (sub)cultures and social movements; democracy, participation and communication in and outside of organizations; the creation and use of intellectual and social capital; organizational and political governance; risk management, and the quality of the (working) life of individuals, within organizations, and cultures.
