Indira Kjellstrand

I am Assistant Professor in Organisation and Leadership at the department of Business, Kristianstad University (Sweden), where I also serve as a coordinator of the master programme in Business Administration. 

Research 

My main research interests include study of emotions and power relations in organisations, and more specifically how these impact organisational learning, organisational change, and leadership. 

I received my PhD from the School of Management, University of Bath in 2016 with a dissertation titled: “The impact of the Social Unconscious on Organizational Learning in Kazakhstan”,  

My recent projects include collaborations with colleagues in the area of cultural diversity in teaching teams and family businesses. I use qualitative research methodologies in my study and apply photo-elicitation as a useful method to capture the dynamics between people in organisations.    

I teach subjects within the areas of organisational studies, leadership, international business as well as qualitative research methods. I also supervise bachelor and master theses in these areas of research.
