Internationale Tagung des Hamburger Forschungsverbunds „Standards Guter Arbeit“: „The ‚Betrieb‘ (organziation, firm, firms establishment …) as corporate actor – a theoretical and empirical challenge“

With our workshop (program), we aim to discuss the following topics and share ideas and concepts on how to treat these problems in our research. The notion of corporate actor appeals to (a) the sociological and political analysis of organizations, (b) the concept of the legal person’s rights to make decisions and take action, (c) the normative problem of whether establishments should be seen as ends from a welfare-economic perspective or merely as means of individual actors, and (d) the methodological need to differentiate between the unit of analysis and the survey unit.

The conference is scheduled for April 29-30, 2021 and will take place in Hamburg (venue, tba) under strict hygiene standards. A livestream of the entire event will be made availiable.
