Personal profile
Research
My research interests include the conditions for creativity, entrepreneurship and innovation in the context of the already organized. How organization-creation is done and how conditions for multi-disciplinary, collaborative creativity is organized and led are long-term fascinations. Central to studying, analyzing and writing on this is the economy-aesthetics relationship, and the philosophy- and humanities conversation that I nurture to feed this creative tension. I run a Centre for Aesthetics and Business Creativity (ABC) in order to support and develop such broadly humanities- and art oriented business administration research and education.
