Affiliated with Center for Management Studies of the Building Process

Research interests
Generally, I am interested in organisation, order, efficiency, collaboration, coordination etc. as effects – as outcomes of historical, social processes. I study these processes, their circumstances and dynamics, from which I try to deduce managerial challenges and issues.
Such processes I have studied in various contexts, e.g. projects, networks and formal organisations. Recently, empirical research has been focused on the design and management of the building process.

Primary research areas

  • Organising processes in society
  • Knowledge management
  • Management of knowledge-intensive organisations
  • R&D management
  • Decision-making processes
  • Design and Construction processes in the building industry
  • Project management
  • Networks of collaboration
  • Virtual organisations
  • ·Behavioural theory
