Katarina Zambrell
Senior lecturer
Department of Management
School of Business and Economics
I am senior lecturer in business administration at the School of Business and Economics.
During 2025 I have a new assignment as project manager for FEKIS-conference 2025.
My research has been focused on identity-creating aspects of work. In an earlier project, I have studied managers who have employed culture workers and artists to strengthen collaboration and creativity in their organization.
Previous assignments:
- Vice dean for lifelong learning at the School of Business and Economics 2023-2024.
- Head of department of the department of marketing (from -22 including tourism studies), 2016-2022.
- Vice dean for education 2020-2022.
- Project manager of Kompetensutveckling för besöksnäringen, funded by the Kamprad Family Foundation 2020-2021.
- Project manager of Linnaeus University’s implementation of the service planning system Retendo 2017-2020.
We are accredited
The School of Business and Economics at Linnaeus University is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, AACSB. Only 6 percent of the world’s leading business schools achieve this accreditation, making us one of a few schools that are trailblasers in teaching, research, and societal impact.
