						In this Master's, you'll be taught the integrate interplay between design and development. You'll become a flexible leader who knows how to get people involved and who understands that plans need to be adjusted to deal with unforeseen bumps along the way. The programme takes corporate social responsibility as its starting point: how organisations can operate efficiently while never losing sight of the people involved. Customers, personnel, local residents, related governmental organisations, but also the organisation's future plans and current reputation (i.e. risk management) are all part of that. Corporate social responsibility is a moral and ethical issue, but also a strategic one of managing reputational risks and creating commitment among employees and investors. The specialisation builds on the tradition of socio-technical system design that aims to jointly optimise both the social and the technical aspects of an organisation. You'll explore the possibilities of organisational development and the barriers that may arise. Put simply, you'll learn not just what needs to be changed, but also how this can best be done.

objectives

The objective of the Organisational & Development programme is to train students to combine a fundamental research perspective on the meaning and role of work organisation with a more practical outlook on how to actually design and develop organisations in a way that increases their chances of success through reorganisation of work processes. The combination of stablility and flexibility within organisations is presented, overlooking the role of markets, cooperation networks and society.

'I appreciate the contact between teachers and students'

The employees in the organisation are the central starting point and this suits me well. The specialisation focuses on interventions in the structure of organisations. The position of organisations in society is also an integral focus of the programme. The small-scale educational environment and the contact between teachers and students is something I really appreciate.
