Situated in the B2B research group, I continue to expand on the research interests from my PhD thesis.

PhD researcher participating in the research project "Sourcing Excellence" funded by the Danish Industrial Foundation.The challenge is that both academics and practitioners have expressed frustrations with organizing forstrategic purchasing. Especially, the implementation of cross-functional purchasing teams is often challenged, as there is consensus in the PSM literature on the usefulness of teams, but little practical evidence of how these teams are implemented successfully in practice. Thus, there is friction between the empirical experiences and the research within the field. This doctoral thesis aims at exploringthe concept of purchasing organization. Focus is on cross-functional teams and integration, especially on the concepts of formal and informal integration mechanisms. The following three research problems are addressed throughout this paper based thesis:- What are the characteristics of an effective or ineffective purchasing organization?- How do various characteristics of cross-functional purchasing teams contribute to team performance?- How do different formal and informal integration mechanisms affect overall integration between purchasing and other purchasing relevant functions?

I primarily work in the planning division with correction of timetables, posting news and timetables on the website and other odd jobs. Also, I have spent summers working with data correction for tender documents. Furthermore, I am employed by an EU-project concerning the work environment and job satisfaction of bus drivers.
