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.

Something is wrong in the Debate
Petter Bjerksund and Guttorm Schjelderup: NRK's tax debate is based on meaningless assumptions: All returns in the "Tangens oil fund" go to the "household budget" and must therefore be tax-free. Is the tax really the problem, not the withdrawal?
Total tax on companies and owners is too high in Norway
Petter Bjerksund, Guttorm Schjelderup and Floris T. Zoutman: Total tax on owners and companies in Norway is 13.5 percentage points higher than in the countries with which we should compare ourselves. Norway is on the wrong track.
