CBS Geo­pol­it­ics and Busi­ness Se­cur­ity

Re­search-based know­ledge in an un­pre­dict­able world

What is Geo­pol­it­ics & Busi­ness Se­cur­ity?

Geopolitics and Business security are no longer confined to foreign and defence policy. They have become part of everyday life for Danish companies, and today the business community plays a central role in Denmark’s security, resilience, and geopolitical position.

If Denmark is to remain strong in a more uncertain world, this requires new knowledge and new forms of collaboration. Together with companies and public authorities, CBS aims to contribute with research-based knowledge, education, and tools that strengthen competitiveness, resilience, and societal security.

Poul Fritz Kjær
Poul Fritz Kjær / Geo­pol­it­ics
Poul Fritz Kjær is an ex­per­i­enced com­mu­nic­at­or who is able to place cur­rent geo­pol­it­ic­al de­vel­op­ments in a his­tor­ic­al con­text and con­nect eco­nom­ic, leg­al, and polit­ic­al de­vel­op­ments. For ex­ample, he can ex­plain how glob­al value chains evolve as the world eco­nomy be­comes more politi­cised, and what this means for com­pan­ies’ risks, re­spons­ib­il­it­ies, and room for man­oeuvre.

Stine Haakonsson re­searches how geo­pol­it­ic­al ten­sions are re­shap­ing glob­al trade and what this means for Dan­ish com­pan­ies. She can shed light on the risks that arise and the op­por­tun­it­ies com­pan­ies have to ad­apt. She has a strong net­work in China and sol­id know­ledge of the coun­try’s role in glob­al sup­ply chains.

Rob Gleas­ure / AI and Cog­nit­ive Se­cur­ity
Rob Gleas­ure is a spe­cial­ist in cog­nit­ive se­cur­ity, which con­cerns how di­git­al tech­no­lo­gies in­flu­ence what people be­lieve, how they feel, and which val­ues guide their ac­tions. He can ex­plain how mis­in­form­a­tion, AI-gen­er­ated con­tent, and the design of di­git­al plat­forms can be ex­ploited to ma­nip­u­late per­cep­tions, cre­ate po­lar­isa­tion, and un­der­mine trust.

Jan Lem­nitzer / Cy­ber Se­cur­ity
Jan Lem­nitzer re­searches how com­pan­ies and so­ci­et­ies can man­age cy­ber threats. He works with the im­ple­ment­a­tion of the EU’s NIS2 Dir­ect­ive and has de­veloped the soft­ware sys­tem SUC­CESS, which helps small and me­di­um-sized en­ter­prises build cy­ber se­cur­ity with­in their sup­ply chains. He can ex­plain how cy­ber se­cur­ity af­fects busi­ness prac­tices, policy, and crit­ic­al in­fra­struc­ture.

Portrait of Kalle Johannes Rose
Kalle Jo­hannes Rose / Risk-Based Reg­u­la­tion
Kalle Jo­hannes Rose re­searches how com­pan­ies and pub­lic au­thor­it­ies man­age risk in a world that changes faster than reg­u­la­tions can keep pace. His work shows how to pri­or­it­ise the most im­port­ant risks rather than at­tempt­ing to con­trol everything, and why the lack of a shared lan­guage between top man­age­ment and tech­nic­al ex­perts of­ten makes risk man­age­ment dif­fi­cult in prac­tice.

An­ders Boll­mann / De­fence and Entrepreneur­ship
An­ders The­is Boll­mann re­searches how entrepreneur­ship shapes de­fence policy and mil­it­ary prac­tice. Tak­ing a his­tor­ic­al per­spect­ive—from the Vi­et­nam War to today’s con­flicts—his re­search of­fers a crit­ic­al view of tech­no­lo­gic­al en­thu­si­asm and mil­it­ary in­nov­a­tion, and high­lights the need to dis­tin­guish between hype and ac­tu­al needs in the de­fence of the fu­ture.
