Research

This means that the studies contribute to research and practice of management, leadership and individuals in organizations and society. A specific interest is devoted to aspects of judgment and decision-making, social interaction, and actors' relations to technology. In our studies we draw especially from research in psychological sciences (especially cognitive psychology and social psychology) and management and organization sciences.
