The process of producing and teaching management knowledge involves much more than applying a certain method or theory. It is also a social process full of interaction between people in organisations, colleagues, students etc. According to the Nordic tradition in Business Administration, knowledge in the field of management is closely related to the day-to-day conduct in all aspects of managerial and organisational practices. In short, Business Administration is a practice about another practice.
The aim of the 21st NFF conference is to mirror this practice and the many interesting fields of research and education that researchers in business administration currently work in. The different sub disciplines of the subject (accounting, finance, marketing, organization, entrepreneurship etc.) as well as different research traditions and methodologies will be represented. The tradition of the conference is to be a gathering in which a broad spectrum of researchers and teachers are represented, mainly from the Nordic countries.
