Alf Rehn is Professor of Innovation, Design, and Management at the University of Southern Denmark, where he also serves as director of CODES – the Center for Organizational Datafication and its Ethics in Society. His research sits at the intersection of critical management studies, organizational theory, and cultural analysis, with a particular focus on the hidden and often transgressive dimensions of managerial practice. Rehn has published widely on topics such as power, creativity, organizational ethics, and the performativity of management discourse. His work frequently interrogates the moral and normative assumptions underpinning business life, and he has long been interested in the parallels between legitimate organizational conduct and the logics of deviance, subversion, and criminality. With a back- ground in both philosophy and economics, Rehn approaches management not only as a set of practices but as a cultural and political phenomenon—one often implicated in systems of control, exclusion, and resistance. He is the author of numerous academic articles and several books, and his scholarship has been cited across disciplines ranging from innovation studies to sociology and critical theory.
