Business Administration

The department of Business Administration at Radboud University in Nijmegen offers high quality and socially relevant scientific research and education with an emphasis on social aspects and processes. At Radboud University, we explicitly focus on the social and societal processes and their fundamental role in organisations and relations with their stakeholders. These processes are approached from a social science perspective: our students learn to understand what organisations are by seeing them as social systems interacting with their business ecosystem, as institutions and in relation to their stakeholders. The programme prepares them for their roles as responsible decision makers through reflecting critically on their own impact on organisations as future leader.
