job perspective
An understanding of the different aspects of organizations (such as optimal compensation policies and allocation of decision rights) is of crucial importance to all types of organisations. These skills are valuable for large firms in the private sector, consultancy firms, and policy institutes such as a ministry or an antitrust agency such as the Netherlands Competition Authority (NMa), Post and Communications Regulatory Authority (OPTA) or the Financial Markets Authority (AFM).
The degree provides an excellent training for careers with a position such as manager, human resources manager, organisation adviser, management trainer, remuneration consultant, strategic planner, or a research position requiring a thorough knowledge and understanding of economic thinking about organizations and strategy.
