Portrait of Bertil Thorngren

I have worked with the development of telecommunications as a researcher, teacher, business executive and adviser. My work has focused on the relationship between technology, markets, organisations and society.

I received my doctorate from the Stockholm School of Economics in 1972 and was appointed Associate Professor in 1974. This was followed by appointments as Acting Professor and Head of Department at several universities, work as Senior Vice President for Corporate Strategy at Telia, and board positions in both private and public organisations.

When I returned to academic life in 1997, I became Head of the Center for Information and Communications Research (CIC) at the Stockholm School of Economics. In 1993, I was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, IVA.

This website brings together publications and other material from a professional life shaped by the rapid evolution of communications.
