His work on Strategic Communication and public sector organizations taps into question of how communication practices are professionalized, institutionalized and organized in public sector contexts.

He has also payed interest to the role organizational values and visions play in such organizations.

His research rely on different research methods, in particular qualitative research methods, but also descriptive statistics and comparative studies.
