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.

Can not expect full compensation when there must be a change in policy
Gunnar S. Eskeland: We can not compensate all those who "lose" when we have to quit fossil fuels. The government must be looked upon as a somewhat unreliable support patrol that should show caution when it comes to compensations to fur farmers.
Too much exemption with the tax-exemption method
Guttorm Schjelderup: In the public debate wealth tax is emphasised as the reason why the richest people emigrate, but the tax savings by avoiding capital gains taxation amounts to much more.
Leaders glorify self-driven employees
Christian Braathen: So-called internally motivated employees perform best - when they are motivated. What happens when they are not motivated?
