Magnus Hoppe, Senior Lecturer (not working at IDT anymore)


Magnus research explores organized intelligence work in modern organizations. In his PhD thesis, The Myth of the Rational Flow (2009) he introduced new ways of interpreting organized intelligence work. In his view intelligence is an individual and organizational endeavor to overcome myopia and bounded rationality that hampers successful change and development in all types of organizations, not only in commercial enterprises. At present Magnus focuses on knowledge creation, knowledge activists and informal innovation leaders, with a special interest in the micro contexts of places where change appears.
