Biography

Rasmus Pichler is an Assistant Professor at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam. His research focuses on the phenomenon of organizational misconduct, which encompasses actions by organizations that violate norms and harm stakeholders, such as fraud, human rights violations, and bribery. He examines how social construction processes unfold around accused organizations and how various norm-enforcing actors—including regulators, courts, and the media—interact with these processes to affect organizational decision-making. Rasmus's work contributes to a broader understanding of how organizations can be held accountable for harm they cause. He obtained his PhD in Strategic Management from the University of Cambridge and has prior experience working in the corporate social responsibility department of a global automotive supplier, as well as a management consultant for clients in technology, mobility, and financial services sectors.
