Organization design for a changing world
CORD research brings organization design to the systems level. Organizations that are structured well are able to meet and respond to needs in a changing world and achieve meaningful public value.
Through our work we aim to:
-
Strengthen the understanding of effective public management within and across organizations, policy domains, sectors, and national boundaries.
-
Generate new knowledge that has meaning in real-world applications to inform organization design in public-serving contexts.
-
Inform the structure and management of publicly-funded science, technology & innovation (STI) through effective evaluation design and implementation.
-
Engage students and other early career scholars in interdisciplinary research that addresses societal challenges of today and the future.
-
Study and learn in the dynamic and innovative living lab of the New American University.
