PhD Courses

Today ́s society is, as all previous societies, characterized by accumulated, abandoned, and new conceptions of the value creating process, which traditionally was called ”production”. Values, assumptions and experience influence our perceptions of rationality and thus give each society its special characteristics.

The objective with this course are:

1. to give historical knowledge about how the main discourses on Industrial Management have evolved;
2. to give an understanding of how the interplay of various forces have influenced the industrial practices;
3. to, in a more speculative finish, deal with what can be said about the future.

Schedule and examination: 
Seminars will take place every second week (although slight deviations may occur) with start in week 37, i.e. during the week September 11-15. Exact time and place will be announced in advance to course start. 
Examination consists of active seminar participation, and a written course paper.
