Presentation

Although I have always been affiliated to Business Administration departments, I started out as an organizational anthropologist of sorts. I did my Ph D as an ethnography on the topic of the organizational culture in a Swedish evening newspaper. My research since has focused on topics like critical management studies, knowledge work, identity in organizations, leadership, organizational control, innovation and research methodology. My work has been published in Academy of Management Review, Human Relations, Journal of Management Studies, Organization, Organization Science, and Organization Studies, among others. My most recent book is Qualitative Methodology and Theory Development: Mystery as Method (Sage 2011, with Mats Alvesson)
