Presentation

Majken Schultz is Professor of Management and Organization Studies at Copenhagen Business School since 1996. She is affiliated with the Center for Organization and Time at the Department of Organization and among the most cited researchers at CBS.. Majken is PI of a research project “Making Distant Futures Actionable: Innovating for Zero-Carbon Future” funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation from 2021-2025. In addition, she is a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. Currently, Majken is researching time in organizations and developing a temporal perspective on central organizational phenomena. She is particularly interested in how distant futures become actionable and how organizations leverage their past. Her previous work has focused on the managerial and organizational issues related to identity, culture and image, including the implications for corporate branding and the use of history. She has published numerous articles in leading peer-reviewed journals in organization studies and co-written/edited more than a dozen books. Majkens work has been translated into Spanish, Korean, Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic and Danish. She is actively involved in the Danish Business Community through various networks and has held several board positions since 2000. Since 2022, she has been the chair of the Carlsberg  Foundation and Deputy Chair of the Carlsberg Group.
