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.

Gunnar S. Eskeland: If emission cuts did not cost more than the quota price, almost nothing would be done in Norway. We are too rich, and the cost of cutting per ton of CO2 is too high.
Top publication by Mario Guajardo
The article "Addressing uncertainty in coalition structure and profit allocation problems through stochastic programming: insights from the collaborative transportation problem" has been published in European Journal of Operational Research.
Using risk to unlock private climate investment
Public funding alone is not enough. At the Karl Borch Lecture, Columbia professor Caroline Flammer explains how governments can mobilise private capital through risk-sharing.
Concluding too early about norgespris
Mette H. Bjørndal, Maren Holthe Hedne and Isabel Hovdahl: The conclusions about norgespris are coming too early – before the analyses.
