Biography

Björn Lantz is a Professor specializing in Innovation R&D Management and Technology Management Economics at Chalmers University. His research interests primarily revolve around Operations Management (OM), incorporating elements such as production planning, scheduling, inventory control, and logistics. Operations Management is a multifaceted discipline characterized by its problem-driven nature, engaging various domains including technical, organizational, inter-organizational, societal, and methodological aspects. A significant focus of Lantz's work lies in understanding the dynamics of innovation project management and healthcare operations, as well as the implications of sustainable operations and inter-organizational relationships. He is particularly keen on the historical context of operations, with an interest in polar expeditions, notably the 1897 Andrée expedition and the 1911-1912 race to the South Pole between Amundsen and Scott. His contributions to the field are evident through his engagement with the Journal of Operations Management (JOM), which serves as a premier outlet for OM research, structured into various editorial departments reflecting the broad reach of the discipline.
