Biography

Aalto University School of Business

Teaching, research, executive education, and writing for popular audiences is what I do. My areas of interest are strategy work, gender and diversity, media and branding, and management and the future. I love to supervise students who work on their master’s theses. I’m also the Director of the Aalto BIZ Doctoral Program.

My current research supports my teaching in that I’m involved in projects that study organizations and management in-depth. Over the years, my research has focused on the fields of financial services, media, and management consulting, to name a few examples. For some years now, my colleagues and I have studied the making of Aalto University. I’m also engaged in a project that looks into the practices of executive search.

In executive education, my favorite task is to facilitate strategy projects, that is the thesis work of people completing their (E)MBAs. The topics vary, but all focus on challenges related to strategic management.

One of my passions is to look around the corner in management. I want to learn more about the new generations entering working life, with their new expectations and ideas. Together with Rebecca Piekkari, professor at Aalto BIZ, we published a book on management and the future – titled “Z ja epäjohtaminen” – in May 2011.

"My Little Book of Strategy" was out in July 2014. Together with Pekka Mattila, CEO of Aalto EE, and Jaakko Veijola, a wizard of visual imagery at WÖRKS, we published this book under the pseudonym Jack E. Earner. It was all about rethinking strategy... and a continuation of the Z-book, focusing specifically on new challenges and solutions related to strategy work.

"Palvelukseen halutaan ajokoira: johtajan ulkonäkö ja esiintyminen" was out in Janury 2016 with Siltala as publisher. I wrote this book on management, appearances and bodily managerial performances together with Susan Meriläinen, professor at the University of Lapland. This popular book focusing on the implications of medialization generated a lot of public commentary and discusson in Finland.
