Professor emeritus at BI Norwegian Business School from 1.1.2021. Member of Board of Governors at Academy of Management (AOM 2019-2022). Full time professorposition at BI Norwegian Business School since 2002-2020, but I have had periods of part time leave. Adjunct professor BI 2000-2002. My PhD (dr.oecon) is from NHH in Bergen.
"Life is too short to drink bad wine".This is a reminder to give priority to the most important things. I want to make a contribution through my research, to individuals, business and society, and the best way to do that is by working with junior faculty and PhD students. My working environment is a virtual organization - connecting to people from all over the world. This has also led me to make presentations on important arenas (including various Parliaments and main international newspapers, etc), and I have been teaching at universities in more than 20 countries.
My present research agenda contains three main topics. They are all embedded within the integration of theory and practice - and venturesome research designs.
- Contributing to value creating boards with a focus on understanding actual board behavior, board processes, dynamics and how boards may contribute in the future. The digital transformation of society is a core factor for understanding the future of boards and corporations. (See Huse 2018: "Value-creating boards: Challenges for future research and practice")
- Contributing to gender equality in business and society with a focus on questions aroundgetting women on boards. The research agenda about getting women on boards contains observations of actors, their motivations and their interactions.
- Contributing to developing a "sharing" philosophy of doing management research. I share the concerns presented by leaders of the leading acacemies of management (e.g. AoM and EURAM) about how the present focus on publishing may take attention away from doing good research. Research is much more than cracking the codes of getting into premiere journals. (See Huse 2020: "Resolving the crisis in research by changing the game".)
2012-2017
I was at Witten/Herdecke University in Germany: Head, hands and heart - a holistic approach to research and teaching. I accepted in 2012 a five year late career position as chairholder at the Reinhard Mohn Endowment Chair for Management, Business Ethics and Societal Change. This private university is built on anthroposophic values. It showed me the importance of havinglighthouse universities around in Europe. I had thus 2012-2017 part time leave from my position at BI.
2010-2012
After having been highly involved in the Academy of Management in USA (AoM) I appreciated the establishment of a European Academy of Management (EURAM), and I was its president 2010-2012. My overall objective in this period was to create a European based community of engaged management scholars.

At the same time I had and adjunct professor position at Halmstad/Lunds University. There I researched and teached about boards of directors in SMEs and venture capital based firms. In this period I was Director of International Programs at AoM, and my committee had the charge of making this academy international.
1989-1997
The main position in this period was at Nordland Research Institute in Bodø, Norway. The research agenda was about boards in SMEs, entrepreneurship and regional development. I had an adjunct position at Bodø Graduate School of Business (Nord University). During the end of this period Ibecame President of the National Association of Corporate Directors (StyreAkademiet) in Norway. I completed my PhD about actual board behavior in 1994, and I got a positive evaluation as full professor in entrepreneurship from BI in 1995.
1981-1989
Several positions in business, ie. insurance (Norges Brannkasse/Uni Insurance), hotels (SAS Royal Hotel Bodø) and consulting (Bonitas/Arthur Young).

I practiced as a strategy and boardroom consultant.
