In Germany and elsewhere, researchers are embedded in specific hierarchical constellations. Regardless of their position at the top, middle or lower levels of their organization, sometimes they meet irritating and even incomprehensible behavior and outcomes: formal regulations may be bypassed, expertise and institutionally defined responsibility may turn out to be unimportant when decisions are taken, rival camps may impede reasonable cooperation, etc.

In this talk you will become familiar with helpful concepts of micropolitical theory and are able to recognize and classify micropolitical games in the system context.

You will receive initial suggestions for reflecting on their own roles, scope for action and limits. In this way, you can promote your autonomous action and can develop better strategies for achieving your goals.
