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.

Ole-Andreas Elvik Næss and Magne Mogstad: The time is overdue for a critical review of the exemption method. But it is difficult to get a good debate going when there is NOK 3,100 billion on the opposite side of the debate.
Aasland's harmful frivolities about sea wind
Gunnar S. Eskeland: When profitability assessments are elevated to central offices that think "general", then there will be a rigid societal restructuring. The recipe causes expensive grabbing.
