About Karin Berglund
Karin Berglund is a Professor of Business Administration specializing in sustainable enterprise at the School of Business, Örebro University. Her research focuses on entrepreneurship and innovation as key drivers of change in today’s society. She is particularly interested in alternative forms of entrepreneurship and innovation aimed at addressing complex societal challenges and enabling a sustainable transition—socially as well as environmentally. Adopting a sociological perspective, she explores the identities, practices, and relationships that can facilitate this transition and thereby foster new ways of thinking and acting for a more sustainable future.
