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.

Jarle Møen: A country that does not have a living national technical language will not be able to conduct a well-informed public debate.
There is no lack of capital
Øyvind Thomassen: It is contractors with good ideas, good noses and power of implementation that are lacking, not the capitalists money.
Research has to be in English
Arnt Ove Hopland and Aksel Mjøs: It is better with "English only" that "Norwegian only" if we have to choose.
