This site provides information on my research and invites you into a dialogue. I am an Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School (CBS). Besides teaching, I conduct comparative studies on Denmark and Singapore, particularly on tourism strategies, cultural policies, destination branding and management practices. Currently, I lead two interdisciplinary research projects. The first is on place branding, art and culture. One aspect of the project deals with the poetics and politics of city and country branding, including how the arts feature in branding places. The other aspect investigates the global art world; examining the intertwined roles played by curators, dealers, collectors, critics, art schools and of course, artists in art business. The second project is on how Europeans view Asia. This study uses three methods: opinion polls, media survey and in-depth interviews. This mixed-method approach allows us to look comprehensively at how Asia is perceived in Europe. As CBS is one of eight partners, I take charge of the Danish leg of the study. More broadly, the wider discussions on the creative industries, experience economy, tourism studies and cross-cultural management intrigue me . Shall we begin a dialogue?
