ekonomiskorganisatorisk

Ekonomiskorganisatorisk is a term used in Scandinavian scholarly discourse to denote an integrated analytical approach that combines economics and organizational theory. It focuses on how organizational design, governance mechanisms, and incentive structures influence economic performance, and how economic forces shape organizational forms and behavior. The perspective draws on microeconomics, game theory, transaction cost economics, and management science to address problems such as principal–agent relationships, coordination and information flows, contract design, and governance of firms and public institutions.

Key topics within the framework include organizational design and restructuring, incentives and performance measurement, outsourcing and supply chains, and the governance of networks, cooperatives, and platforms. It also covers how organizational boundaries and boundaries of markets affect efficiency, innovation, and adaptability in changing environments. The approach is applicable to both private and public sectors, including corporate governance, public administration reforms, and nonprofit management, with attention to how institutional context, culture, and legitimacy influence economic outcomes.

Methods commonly used encompass theoretical modeling (principal–agent and contract theory), empirical analyses (case studies, panel data, and cross-sectional studies), and computational simulations, along with qualitative insights from organizational ethnography. Related fields include organizational economics, institutional economics, management science, and industrial organization. In English-language discourse, similar ideas may be described as economic–organizational analysis or organizational economics.
