Nijmegen School of Management
Radboud University’s Nijmegen School of Management (NSM) is an academic centre of research and higher education that focuses on institutional and managerial issues concerning complex organisations in both the public and private domain. It has seven disciplines: Business Administration, Public Administration, Political Science, Economics and Business Economics, Social and Political Sciences of the Environment, Human Geography, and Spatial Planning. The NSM strives for a multidisciplinary approach whenever possible. It employs 265 FTEs of whom 75% are academics and currently caters to some 4,000 students. The NSM’s research is embedded in the Institute for Management Research (IMR), an academic centre of expertise conducting research on the structure and performance of public and private organizations and institutions that regulate, govern and manage purposive action and interaction. IMR research aims to contribute to the understanding and improvement of the effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy of organisational arrangements through which people try to structure and govern the complexity of the environments in which they operate. IMR’s aim is to combine and integrate theoretical perspectives from different disciplines in order to provide a richer understanding of international, societal and organisational phenomena, their complexity and their interrelatedness.
This PhD project will be part of the Integrated Decision Making (ID) research programme. The focus of this programme is on how decisions are made across individual, intra-group and inter-group levels, how the efficiency of decision-making processes can be improved, and which methodologies can be used to improve the design and implementation of integrated decisions. The strength of the ID research group is that it brings together diverse researchers to tackle big societal challenges that cannot be solved by one research area alone.
