Rolv Petter Storvik Amdam

Professor - Department of Strategy and Entrepreneurship

Biography

I am Professor of Business History from 1997. From 2006 to 2010 I was Associate Dean for BI's Executive Master of Management programmes, and from 2011 to 2014 I was the Dean for BI's executive programmes.

I received my Dr.Philos degree from the University of Oslo based on a study of the development of business education in Norway, a topic that I also has studied in a European perspectiev in a EU financed project (CEMP). In addtion to having written and edited several books on the history of the glass industry, pharmaceutical companies, the aluminium industry and business schools, I have published in international journals both in business history and management studies. My aim is to do research that is relevant both within international business and within business history. I teach courses in international business and management.

During the fall semester 2015 I am the Alfred D. Chandler Jr. International Scholar in Business History at Harvard Business School. I have also been visitor at Reading University, Toulouse University, ESSEC in Paris, Nanyang Technological University, and ISM University of Management and Economics, Lithuania. I was member of the board of ISM University of Managament and Economics in Lithuania from 2011 to 2013.

My main research interests are:

• Globalization and industrial clusters, focusing on the maritime industry
• Norwegian – Chinese business relations
• Business education and career development
• International development of executive education

The dynamic role of small- and medium-sized multinationals in global production networks : Norwegian maritime firms in the Greater Shanghai Region in China

Asia Pacific Business Review, 24(1), s. 37- 52. Doi: 10.1080/13602381.2017.1358929

This article examines the role of small- and medium-sized multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the dynamic development of global production networks (GPNs) in the maritime industry. It studies the dynamism between subsidiaries of Norwegian maritime firms and regional actors and institutions in the Greater Shanghai Region of China from the perspectives of the subsidiaries. It argues that strategic coupling, recoupling and decoupling are partly the results of regional selection mechanisms. However, in the cases where the subsidiaries are embedded within the host region, the strategies and behaviour of MNEs are of decisive importance for the dynamic development of GPNs.

Globalization and the development of industrial clusters : comparing two Norwegian clusters, 1900–2010

Business history review, 89(4), s. 693- 716. Doi: 10.1017/S0007680515001051

This article explores how clusters have reacted to the recent process of globalization by comparing the development of two clusters that are located in the same region, the county of Møre og Romsdal in Norway. These are the furniture cluster and the maritime cluster on the west coast of Norway. When international competition increased, the first one declined while the other prospered and became more global. Structural differences explain only partly the different development paths of these clusters. In addition, firms’ strategic actions and the degree of collectively shared visions about international operations mattered for how the clusters developed.

Stability and change in managerial elites: The institution of management education in Norway from 1936 to 2009

Management & Organizational History, 9(3), s. 272- 287. Doi: 10.1080/17449359.2013.879725 - Full text in research archive

Market transformations and organisational changes lead to new needs for managerial competence, and such changes are proposed to influence the institution of management education over time. However, in an examination of the educational backgrounds of Norwegian CEOs from 1936 to 2009, this paper finds that changes in the institution of management education cannot be interpreted as direct responses to the organisational and external changes that companies face. This study suggests that the institution of management education is modified rather than fundamentally changed. These modifications can largely be explained by the concepts of institutional solidarity (i.e. dominant agents define what management education is, and this understanding is difficult to change due to path dependencies in the recruitment of top managers) and institutional plasticity (i.e. the “stretching” of established institutional scripts to fit new contexts).

Global transfer of management practices across nations and MNC subcultures

Academy of Management Executive, 19(2), s. 77- 80.

The management practice we examine performance management (PM)-can be regarded as an extension of the traditional performance appraisal, linking individual performance to corporate strategy.1 Researchers separate calculative PM (focus on individual contributions and rewards) and collaborative PM (focus on creating a partnership culture between employer and employee, for example through competency development).2 In the United States, PM practices contain both calculative and collaborative elements, whereas in Scandinavia the calculative element is downplayed.3 Norwegian firms have had a long tradition of holding annual "planning and development talks." This is, however, a single, once a year event intended to promote good working relations more than a managerial system for evaluating, developing and compensating employees.' We suggest that when introducing a "foreign best practice" into this setting, national values present initial barriers, whereas organizational capabilities and systems are crucial for the final shape of the practice.

Etablering og utvikling av ledelseskulturer: Norsk kenningisme

Nordiske organisasjonsstudier, 2, 1, s. 84- 106.

Artikkelen fokuserer på hvordan en ledelseskultur etableres og utvikles. Hovedvekten er lagt på å forklare hvilke faktorer som er viktige for lederes valg av ledelsesideer og årsakene til at disse ideene blir spredt utover flere bedrifter og over tid. Ledelseskulturen som bidrar til det empiriske grunnlaget for artikkelen er kenningisme - en ledelseskultur som utviklet seg blant norske bedriftsledere som brukte George Kenning (amerikansk ledelseskonsulent) og hans ledelsesprinsipper til å definere hva ledelse er, og som betraktet ham som en betydningsfull rådgiver. Studien viser at en ledelseskultur over tid kan utvikles til å bli en mote. Videre behøver ikke moten nødvendigvis å dø helt ut, men snarere gjenoppstå i en ny og mer moderne utgave. Funnene fra studien antyder også at man bør studere utviklingen av ledelseskulturer i et evolusjonært perspektiv, siden en slik kultur utvikles over tid og gjennomgår ulike utviklingsfaser. The paper focuses on how a management culture was established and developed. The emphasis is on explaining which factors that have major influence on managers' choices of management ideas and the reasons for the diffusion of these ideas among organizations and over time. The case used to exemplify these relationships is the diffu-sion of George Kenning's management philosophy in Norway. He was an American management consultant helping some Norwegian managers to define management and managerial roles. This study shows that a management culture develops over time and after a while even becomes a fashion. It also shows that a management fashion do not necessarily suddenly die. It might be revitalized and arise in new forms. The findings in the study, thus, suggest that applying an evolutionary perspective on the development of a management culture might enhance the understanding of this formation process.
