Our research group is primarily focused on three interrelated areas: management control systems, digitalization and sustainability. We investigate how digital technologies are transforming control, decision-making, and accountability within organizations, and how management control systems can be designed to navigate and shape this transformation.

A key dimension of our work is the measurement and management of responses to grand societal challenges, including climate change, human rights, inequality, and other sustainability topics. We are particularly interested in how organizations conceptualize, operationalize, and act upon these challenges through performance measurement and control practices.

We conduct ambitious, high-quality research, grounded mainly in qualitative methods, including case studies, fieldwork, and interviews. Our work spans both public and private sectors and often engages directly with practitioners and policy makers. We aim to produce research that is both academically rigorous and socially impactful.

Researchers in the group are affiliated with an externally funded research project on management of the data driven organization (MaDDo – see link to the right).
