In thispaper, we therefore provide a thematic review of the literatures that address thisissue in management and organization studies (MOS) and related fields.

2019
Masteroppgave ledelse ORG917 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Som et resultat av nedgangstidene som oljenæringen har gjennomgått de siste årene, har realiteten for de fleste bedrifter i denne industrien vært å måtte stå i én eller flere tøffe nedbemanningsrunder.
