Præsentation

My research focuses on how digital technologies become intertwined with organizational phenomena and transform various aspects of work. For instance, I have studied how automation, new shared digital platforms, and various communication technologies afford new professional relations, new managerial work, and new power relations.

In the coming years, I will lead a large collaborative research project together with Lise Justesen on the invisible work that follows from digitalizing organizations. Our cases are public sector organizations, which have ambitious digitalization agendas, and we hope to offer knowledge about how efficiency ambitions often clash with the emergence of new everyday work tasks in digitalized organizations.
