Welcome on the new COM-munity platform, which gives you a unique insight into the master Culture, Organization and Management and the COM department within the faculty of Social Sciences at the VU University Amsterdam. This site also gives you the opportunity to (re)connect with Com-alumni, colleagues, students and Com-fans.

The COM perspective integrates knowledge of management and organizations with social-scientific insights into culture, identity and power. 'Hands-on' is the key term for this programme, which is characterised by its avoidance of standard models and its emphatically practice-driven approach. To really get a grip on the essence of COM, you should check out the different areas of this site.

The short stories of students, who are doing research right now or who have just finished, will tell you about the adventure of COM master research. The tales of the COM alumni show the diverse career paths you can choose after you have finished this master. And the profiles of many scholars working for the COM department will reveal to you the people who embody the COM spirit.

Furthermore, in the viewer on this site you can have a glimpse of the phenomena that are central within COM research. The short movie clips are focused on the diversity of business culture, the complexities of organisation and the often miraculous styles of management. Within the Community area, the different connections between COM and other actors in society are made visible. If you are dazzled by the COM perspective and feel it is the only master study that really suits you, enter the contact area and you will find info on how to join the COM-munity as a master student. Or if you are looking for a postdoctoral position please check our vacancies.
