Thesis supervision
Since 2017 I have supervised bachelor's and master's theses at Copenhagen Business School. Most ask the same question as my research: what happens to an organisation when a new technology arrives? Many of them build a working prototype to find out.
What the theses ask
Rows show the organisational question each thesis asks. Each dot is one thesis, coloured by the technology it studies.
