Biography
My research interests are within interorganizational relationships and alliances. I am especially interested in collaboration, coordination, trust, and practices. I am working closely with firms in the construction industry and are part of Centre for the Construction Industry at BI. I am national course responsible for the Strategy course at Bachelor third year and I am teaching parts of courses (mainly related to trust and cooperation) at Master of Management and Master of Science.
