SCANCOR - The Scandinavian Consortium for Organizational Research was founded on September 15, 1988. The idea behind SCANCOR was to create a foundation for internationalizing research and education in organization and leadership. Through cooperation among Scandinavian business schools and universities, SCANCOR hopes to promote an international perspective in research and education, as well as to strengthen ties among Scandinavian researchers and encourage joint research projects.

On March 10, 1989, SCANCOR established a research base at Stanford University in California, providing Scandinavian researchers with the facilities to work in an international research environment.
