Biography

Pernilla Gluch is a Professor in Innovation R&D Management at Chalmers University. Her research focuses on industrial change processes driven by increased demands for sustainability, particularly in project-based settings within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. She utilizes a 'practice lens' perspective to understand the interactions among actors, structures, artifacts, and the forms of practices and identities within specific organizational contexts. Her main research areas include the professionalization of expertise in project-based organizations, which examines the reciprocal dynamics involved in institutionalization and professionalization processes; knowledge sharing and communication within these organizations, focusing on theory building around situated practices and the role of human mediators, tools, and artifacts; and sustainability practices that explore the relation between social practices and organizational features concerning environmental management.
