Alf Rehn
Worldwide Recognised Business Guru
Alf Rehn is a worldwide recognised business guru. The Times called him “star of the future”. He has a chair of management and organization, a professorship of innovation and entrepreneurship, and an odd outlook on life. In addition to this he is active as a columnist, an author, and a sought-after speaker. Currently, Alf holds a chair of management and organization at Åbo Akademi University in Finland, a professorship of innovation and entrepreneurship at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.
“One of Europe’s top young management scholars”
Alf is with 31 one of the youngest full professors in Scandinavia. His research focuses on novel ways to understand management, organization and economy, and has been published in leading academic journals such as Creativity and Innovation Management, Group and Organization Management. He has contributed to works such as the Routledge Companion to Creativity and the Sage International Encyclopedia of Organization Studies. He is on the editorial board of several top management journals and edits a book series at a prominent Scandinavian publisher. [/expand]
As a speaker and consultant, Alf has worked with major business conferences, global industry, finance and insurance companies, CIO’s, pharmaceuticals and the high-tech industry, as well as mentored a series of start-ups. In doing so he has talked about things as far apart as discussing novel ways to develop city economies, economy as entertainment, cannibalism as strategy and going beyond creativity. In addition, he has appeared on TV talking about things such as business language, boredom in organizations, extreme wealth and new business models. [/expand]
Rather than presenting the same buzzword everyone else does, Alf challenges audience’s thinking. At times provocative and always engaging, he represents a fresh new way of thinking about business.[/expand]
