Business administration is a multifaceted subject and revolves around a number of generic 'problem areas' of business enterprises and other organizations. Such central problem areas include issues related to financing and accounting, strategy and marketing, and organizing and management. At Örebro university research focus is on the alternatives, consequences and transformations of intra-organizational management controls, and on inter-organizational network issues related to the external flows of industrial firms.
Courses in Business Administration in collaboration with Örebro University given at other universities: https://www.oru.se/english/schools/Orebro-University-School-of-Business/Study/courses/courses-business-administration.
