Presentation and academic fields
Louise is an assistant professor at department of digitalization at CBS. She is a Phd. fellow at the IT-university of Copenhagen. She holds a cand.merc.dat i.e. the master degree in Computer Science and Business Administration from Copenhagen Business School. 
 
Her current research focus is on developing a socio-technical change perspective and framework that can aide in planning and explaining outcomes from enterprise technologies supporting flexible and digital work and organizational transformation in knowledge-work settings. Louise focus is on on explaining socio-technical mechanisms at work in the current IS. The PhD. thesis takes a particular interest in how individualization as a mechanism (driver) change and disrupt prior socio-technical explanations. Her findings concludes that the IS responds by morphing into dual-structures and as such into a dual-IS. The dual-IS, thus needs new bifocal IS-management approaches to function as a resilient and elastic system/organization, delivering on both stability and agility.
