Professor Lars Thøger Christensen

Copenhagen Business School
Lars Thøger Christensen (PhD, Odense University, 1993), is Professor of Communication and Organization at the Copenhagen Business School (Denmark). His research focuses on how organizations make sense of themselves and their surroundings through communicative practices such as auto communication, aspirational talk, hypocrisy, and bullshit. Drawing on sociology, semiotics, organization, and the philosophy of language he especially studies how such practices shape organizational engagement in the areas of social responsibility, transparency, sustainability, and voice. In addition to six books, such as “Organizational Communication in an Age of Globalization”, and contributions to many edited volumes, his research appears in Organization Studies, Organization Theory, Organization, Human Relations, Communication Theory, Journal of Business Research, Management Communication Quarterly, and elsewhere.
