Research Interests
I am Senior Lecturer in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the School of Business and Economics at Linnaeus University (LNU, Kalmar and Växjö, Sweden). I was Vice President of European Academy of Management (EURAM, Brussels, Belgium) 2014-2017 and Chief Analyst of the coordinating university (Linnaeus University) of two major EU Tempus Projects 2012-2017. I am Organisational Developer, Founder or Co-founder of 20+ organisational entities (i.e. companies, sport associations, research groups, scientific networks, master programs). I have worked in long-term processes (1-2 years) in 20+ countries and have worked full time in Mexico City in two long-term periods (approx. 2008-2011 and approx. 2018-2020).
My research focus is on early stage venturing characterised by vague gestations, competing logics, goal conflicts and resource constraints in contexts with high degree of ambiguity and uncertainty. Theoretically, I am interested in context, model building and conceptual history. Empirically and practically, I focus on emerging markets and low/middle income countries. Impact-wise, gestation activities in venture emergence can be process or outcome oriented. Both orientations are important. I was process oriented before but more outcome oriented nowadays. In relation to sport, I have for instance studied the systematic gestation of sport as an experience industry during the 2000s, the Swedish arena boom in the 2000s and done a scientific overview of sports as entertainment for the Swedish Sports Federation in 2017.
My research focus is governed by my 30+ years of practical experience as Organisational Developer Founder or Co-founder, and as such, forming structures, negotiating cognitive schemata, materialising the not yet realized, leading open-ended processes with high uncertainty and dealing with vagueness as a productive resource. This research focus is rooted in my deep involvement from young age at the frontiers of a movement that, as it turned out to be, formed a new competitive sport (Floorball) that in two decades was to become among the biggest in Sweden and now is spread to about sixty countries and in process to formally be invited to try out for becoming an Olympic sport.
My core speciality is to put premium scientific research to concrete use in high-end societal and corporate collaboration and to manage complex processes towards sustained impact. I have made many such efforts during the last two decades on all levels of society, from UN, EU and national ministry levels to companies and individuals operating hands-on. I have in particular been engaged in social and societal development in Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine and Mexico.
