Biography
My overall research interest is the governance of large complex organizations. In this field I deal with corporations as well as public organizations mainly investigating relationships between large stakeholders and top management. My research applies to different contexts: large publicly traded corporations, research hospitals, the biotech sector, and seed-capital settings. Of current interest is the impact that media and intermediaries such as consultants, have on relationships between stakeholders and top management of large complex organizations. A particular interest is how the relationships are organized as a response to media impact, also called mediatization.
In my teaching I have worked with students at all levels: undergraduate, graduate including PhD course, and executive education. Teaching has provided me with the opportunity to meet amazing and talented people, among them Chinese executives, young molecular biologists, and vicars-to-be in the Church of Sweden. All interested in developing their knowledge of management and governance.
In addition, I have extensive experience of academic leadership from positions such as Director of PhD Studies, Head of Department, and Secretary General of EDAMBA (European Doctoral Programmes Association in Management & Business Administration).
