RESEARCH

Gorgi Krlev is intrigued by how organizations create sustainable value for society.

By promoting social innovations, by engaging in new forms of entrepreneurship, by seeking cross-sector collaborations, or by contributing to the newly emergent field of impact investing.

Gorgi’s research interests cover a diverse set of organizations.

Civil society, nonprofit organizations & philanthropy.
Responsible business, social and impact-driven start-ups & Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
New forms of government & progressive public administration.

Gorgi is most excited about settings where a variety of actors engage jointly.

Within these settings, he investigates organizations’ governance, strategy, performance management and decision-making. But also their institutional context, including for example policy or media frameworks.

Gorgi has lead-written proposals for and directed teams in major research projects.

These projects involved partners from leading academic institutions, civil society organizations, business and the public sector from around the world.
