Abstract

After analyzing environments Rosenborg Football Club operates in we introduce the regional-global model as a new organizational model in order to explain the success of the team using insights from managerial cognition and chaos theory. The success of the club in the years from 1988 until 2002 can be explained by the use of good routines linked to improvisation. We link improvisation to total football and flow theory as a means to achieve success. We focus on qualitative methods when interviewing the former coach Mr, Niels Arne Eggen and former players were interviewed using thematic analysis in order to gain deep insights. We also used secondary sources in the data collection process building on work a being conducted on Rosenborg as a leading Norwegian football club.
