My research focuses on societal interactions around sustainability challenges, the organizational interpretation of ecological issues, environmental performance, and sustainability reporting. I address these topics primarily from the perspectives of organizational schemas, strategic interpretation, and institutional entrepreneurship. In line with the processual nature of the questions I investigate, my research follows a qualitative, inductive approach. I also employ quantitative methods to test for relationships between organizational variables and natural environmental outcomes.

We live in a world that emphasize the rational and the objective. We cling dearly to objective facts, rigorous thought and rational decisions. In doing so, we risk losing sight of the internal world and our emotional and intuitive aspects. Understanding our “inner theatre” is essential, but also an uphill challenge, fraught with difficulties and anxieties. In this conversation, Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries explores the essential need to build self-understanding and the difficulty in doing so.
Please join us for an exciting talk by Dr. Roy Suddaby. This is a joint divisional event with Organizational Theory and Social Responsibility.
