Institut for Organisation

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Organization at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), Denmark. I hold a master’s degree in European Ethnology and a PhD degree from the IT University of Denmark titled ‘Taxing assemblages’. Since my PhD in 2011, my research projects have evolved around the socialites of taxation – looking at tax compliance practices, discretion amongst tax inspectors, collaborative forms of governance, Cooperative Compliance and not least trust and transparency between tax authorities and taxpayers. My research is highly motivated by an interest for the socialites of taxation and for the anthropology of taxation. The anthropology of taxation is an emerging research area that I continuously seek to analyze and develop in order to understand day-to-day taxation practices and interactions between tax inspectors, tax advisers and taxpayers.

Lately, I have also been looking at the role of agile methods implemented in tax administration to develop digital technologies, and how these influence the broader organization. I am also currently engaged in a project of the use of AI in aviation inspection. This project focusses on how AI tools can be developed to ease inspectors’ work, and how aviation inspection can regulate AI tools used in the aviation industry.
