Universities and firms: a comparative analysis of the interaction between market processes, organizational strategies and governance. Satellite UA: regulation and management of universities. 01/01/2002 - 31/12/2006

Abstract

The goal of the project is to explore new developments in the theory of organizations and of regulation, and to apply them to the specific case of universities.While the project has a strong microeconomic theory component, it also relies on general management, human resource management and organizational sociology perspectives. The focus is twofold: (1) the government is primarily interested in the use, the design and the effects of various funding formulas and regulatory mechanisms; (2) the university itself has also to design its own policy.

            The importance of staff functions with the regard to the prevention of serious accidents. 01/12/1994 - 31/07/1995

            Abstract

            For quite some time now, more and more people have started to believe that safety and unsafety in an industrial context are closely related to the management of the human factor. This study aims at an inventarisation of the legal and statutory provisions with regard to those functions that have already been attributed to the human factor policy. In addition, it intends to explore the actual situation of a number of Belgian companies with a high risk rate for serious accidents.
