Den kyndige økonomisk/administrative fagutøverens helhetsforståelse
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)En kyndig fagutøver i økonomisk/administrative fag må evne å se sammenhenger og helhet mellom eget og andres fagfelt.

HRM ved et veiskille: Hvordan kan vi tette gapet mellom forskning og praksis?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)Den internasjonale forsningslitteraturen tegner et bilder av at HRM står ved et veiskille.
