Research activity

Health and the Public Sector

We aim to contribute in cutting edge research on health and public sector, by collaborating with academics and practitioners from different parts of Norway and the world. Our endeavour is to create economic, social, and human value for healthcare and public organizations.

With increasing complexity in the operations and the environment of the mentioned organizations, in addition to political pressure to increase efficiency and reduce costs, innovations are necessary. Through our research, we explore innovative ways of providing services in the future, including digital technologies, and seeks to understand how these innovations affect the organizations and their management.

Our research topics include:

  • Change management
  • Digitalization
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Innovative public procurement
  • Optimization-based decision support models
  • Planning and control

The main activities in the strategic research initiative on health and public sector are:

  • Seminars for discussing current research and new ideas.
  • Workshops with external partners
  • PhD seminars
