It was a pleasure to us welcoming Prof. Lunnan for an afternoon talk at the end of November.

Randi Lunnan is professor of Strategy and serves as Head of the Strategy and Entrepreneurship Department at BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo, Norway. Her research interests include Inter-organizational relations and the management of multinationals. She is particularly interested in serial acquirers, alliance management and the performance of alliances over time, headquarters functions and the relation between subsidiaries and headquarters. Her work has been published in journals such as Strategic Management Journal, Journal of World Business, Journal of Management and Journal of Management Studies. Randi Lunnan has broad international experience, and teaches MBA programs regularly in Oslo and Shanghai.

Here is what Prof. Lunnan had in mind for this event: “In this talk I would like to share my story, emphasizing learning points generated from the journey towards both an academic career as well as a career in university administration. The talk will end with discussion points raising dilemmas and issues related to career advancement in general, but particularly targeting a female academic audience. I look forward to the discussion with you.”
