Henricus Joannes (Henk) van Dongen (May 9, 1936 in Delden – March 7, 2011 Vierhouten) was a Dutch organizational theorist, policy advisor, and University Professor at the Rotterdam School of Management and one of its founders.
While working at Hoogovens, van Dongen earned his PhD in 1969 from the Catholic University of Tilburg for his dissertation on the social impact of the suggestion box (ideeënbus).
In the late 1970s he conducted a study of the social and cultural consequences of information technology for the Rathenau Commission formed by Prime Minister Den Uyl.
He was active not only in academia but advised a range of public and private organizations (especially in the transport, infrastructure, banking and pharmacy sectors), e.g., KLM, Port of Rotterdam, Rabobank, Schiphol Airport, Eli Lilly and Company.
In the context of organizational advice and policy analysis, Henk van Dongen played an important role in shaping such organizations as SIOO and NSOB (Dutch School of Public Governance).
