PhD defence: Arni Petersen

This empirical study of the Faroese oil bonanza examines how do collective fantasies about the future affect inter-organizational transformations even when such fantasies continuously lack any factual basis? The concept of fantasy and how we as researchers can study fantasies about the future are based on five dimensions of such fantasies: their 1) narrative, 2) postalgic, 3) interactive, 4) temporal, and 5) performative character
