About the Department

LPF/MPP is one of the large departments at CBS with approximately 70 faculty members, 14 administrative staff members, and a fluctuating number of visiting researchers, research and project assistants.

The department was formed in 1995 with the objective to undertake research and teaching in the management area understood in a broad sense (Management and Leadership). MPP has been characterised by its focus on problems surrounding management that can be observed in the boundary regions between management, economics, politics and philosophy. Disciplines that had previously been seen as separate disciplines.

	The Environment - Socially and Professionally: At MPP all employees are equally important in the sense that we emphasise our different roles within the knowledge production. Even though we are divided into self-governing units, we consider ourselves to be one working unit, and the department is characterised by a good social tone. It is precisely the social environment that results in what we take to be a creative and original research environment; an environment that is characterised by scientific curiosity and openness, but also by being extremely ambitious.
