I am an Assistant Professor (tenure track) at the Department of Management and Organisation. My research focuses on describing and explaining the various intra as well as inter-subjective conflicts that are initiated by a world, and organizations, in continuous and often turbulent change; how these conflicts play out across discursive spaces and become enabled by digital technologies; and the cognitive, emotional, and discursive mechanisms at play as individuals and collectives of individuals strive to create a coherent understanding of themselves and others.
My research has been published in several international academic journals such as Industrial Marketing Management, Long Range Planning, Scandinavian Journal of Management, and Journal of Organizational Change Management, in various book chapters, as well is in national outlets intended for the public, e.g. Ekonomiska Samfundets tidskrift.
In my PhD thesis ‘Making sense and giving sense of coopetition: From strategic position to processes and practices’ I explored cooperation-competition tensions that arise when competing organizations are driven to cooperate due to economic, social, and cultural motives, and the various individual and collective sensemaking activities that top and middle managers engage with to respond to these types of tension. My current research focuses on how introduced strategic change can initiate polarized debates on social media in which both strategists and the public take part.
Key fields of research: organizational and strategic change; open strategy and inclusion; individual and collective sensemaking; identity work; narratives; social media as a public discursive space; polarization; emotional display; multimodality.
