New member of the PP Platform's Advisory Board
Professor Haldor Byrkjeflot is a new member of the PPP Advisory Board
The PP Platform is proud to announce that the Norwegian Professor Haldor Byrkjeflot is a new member of the advisory board.
Haldor is currently employed as full professor in the department of Sociology at University of Oslo and currently 20 % researcher position at Uni Rokkansenteret, University of Bergen. He has been doing research on comparative management, the Nordic model of democracy, public setor reform, comparative healthcare systems as well as bureaucracy and changing accountability regimes in the public sector. Currently he is involved in projects on accountability regimes and reputation management, as well as bureaucracy.
At the momenet Haldor is working on a proposal to establish a research Centre for the Analysis of Bureaucracy in Society (CABS) together with Academic Co-Director at the PP Platform, Paul du Gay, and Fredrik Engelstad from the department of Sociology at University of Oslo.The proposed centre would be a joint initiative between the University of Oslo and the CBS Public-Private Platform. Together they are also working on developing a book and projects relating to these issues.
Haldor describes his reason for joining the advisory board, as follows:
Many of the topics I am currently doing research on - or have been doing research on - seem to be on the agenda at the Public–Private Platform: I have already been participating in ongoing activities, particularly in the area of healthcare, and have been a visiting scholar at the Department of Organization at CBS.
In particular I am interested in developing a better understanding of the role of bureaucracy and anti-bureaucracy in the development of societies. Another topic of interest is how new models for organization and leadership, like reputation management and human resources management, changes the logic of organizing in different spheres of society, particularly in the public sector.
