Stein Bjørnstad
Adjunct Associate Professor - Department of Strategy and Entrepreneurship
Biography
My carreer involves a stunt in politics and public relations. I worked on and off for several years doing research, speech writing, analysis and campaign work. I switched to business and worked for some years at Ernst & Young Management Consulting with Corporate Finance and Health Care, before joining a start up. During the IT boom I worked full time for a couple of years with a company involved in mobile Internet. Since 2005 I have been working with Deloitte Consulting. As for my academic carrer, please refer to the CV.
Research areas
I am interested in the (slow) emergence of technologies for extracting oil and gas offshore - and in the extraordinary qualities of people that manage to change the system. I also take a keen interest in mentalities, how they change and how this affects the behaviour of people. Sometimes the subjects overlap which is doubly fascinating.
Teaching areas
- Entrepreneurship - particularly when applied to science
- Innovation - particularly in the field of offshore technology
- Economic and business history
