Research Interest

Hannahs research interests revolve around organizational phenomena, institutional theory, and sustainability transitions. She studies the fundamental organizational and institutional underpinnings of the ongoing sustainability transition in the Norwegian energy sector.

In her PhD project, Hannah investigates the organizational transformation of incumbents towards more sustainability-oriented technologies and behavior. In particular, she focuses on how the role incumbent and entrant collaborations developed over time and how their interaction fosters the pending sustainability transition in the Norwegian energy sector. By applying insights from theories on institutional change, framing and interorganizational partnerships she links micro-macro level dynamics.

Academic background

Hannah has a master degree in Organization Studies at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, from 2019, and a bachelor degree in international Business Administration from the University of Vienna, Austria from 2016. Prior to arriving at the University of Oslo, Hannah worked in business departments of Organisation, HR, and accounting, and has gained experience as Research Assistant at the University of Innsbruck.

This study explores the meanings that established field incumbents assign to their collaborations with entrants during periods of profound institutional change, such as those connected to major societal problems, including climate change, the context of our study. We draw on framing theory to investigate how collaboration meanings become socially constructed and inductively analyze collaboration announcements of a large Norwegian oil incumbent over a time frame of two decades (2000 to 2021). We find that the incumbent pursues an ambidextrous collaboration strategy with both renewable energy as well as oil and gas entrants despite augmenting sustainability concerns. Our findings suggest that this is possible because of frame remix. Frame remix imbues both types of collaborations with new meaning by pulling down conflicting field-level logics, yet rewires both logics in novel ways so they converge. Our findings hold important contributions for the literature on institutional and organizational change.
