Inaugural Lecture Professor John K. Christiansen

How does management happen in organizations: The use of management technologies

The research of John K. Christiansen focuses on management of development and innovation activities in ambigious and labile organizational contexts. He is interested in opening up the black box of innovation and project management and wants to study and understand the dynamics of the micro-processes - and relate these to strategic processes, choices and concerns.

The focus is on mechanisms, management tools and models that shape decision making and organizational processes.

Ny forskning om performance management i marketing viser interessante resultater

• Der er ikke sammenhæng mellem virksomhedens overordnede strategi og marketingsafdelingens aktiviteter.
• Man kan tale om en egentlig kompetencefælde, da marketing i overvejende grad ofte gør de ting som de selv synes de er gode til frem for at måle på effekten.
• Analysen viser også budgetteringsmåden kan have indflydelse på budgettets størrelse og dets anvendelse.
• Måling af marketingindsatsen som et dækningsbidrag hænger sammen med virksomhedens overskudsgrad.

Dette er blot nogle af de tankevækkende resultater som undersøgelsen af marketings organisering viser.

Undersøgelsen er udarbejdet af Professor Jan Mouritsen, Professor John K. Christiansen, ekstern lektor Per Østergaard Jacobsen og lektor Claus J. Varnes.
