Department of Business and Management Science
Research at the Department aims to understand and improve management practice using analytical methods.
We study decision making, governance and efficiency in organisations from a managerial perspective, as well as from the perspective of institutions and investors. Faculty members have backgrounds from economics, finance, operations research, mathematics and statistics, and have a firm focus on publishing research in high quality international journals.
The objective of the department is to benefit the business community and society at large through excellence in research, teaching and contributions to the public debate. Faculty members often appear in the media, they are heavily involved in contract research at the SNF Centre for Applied Research at NHH and they contribute to management training through NHH Executive.

Research News
What will the Labour Party do about the dividend tax?
Petter Bjerksund: Has the Labour Party thought that, once again, it should be profitable to convert earned income into capital income? Or does the party intend to increase the dividend tax by 2,3 percentage points?
More jobs with less wealth tax?
Jarle Møen: Small firms are, in many cases, taxed more favourably than houses. Will even more favourable taxes on "working capital" really lead to more jobs?
How could the Nobel Prize be awarded for something as weird as auction theory?
Malin Arve and Eirik Gaard Kristiansen: Perhaps everybody has not considered that they actually have taken part in an auction.
Supporters of wealth tax should moderate their enthusiasm
Gunnar S. Eskeland: The wealth tax study currently debated actually shows that protection of "working" capital leads to more jobs, at least within small businesses. If big businesses should be protected, too, less wealth tax will be paid.
