biography

Annelise Ly is Associate Professor at the department of Professional and Intercultural Communication at NHH.

RESEARCH

She researches topics related to intercultural business communication, language issues in workplace settings, leadership narratives and diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

She has a multidisciplinary background and works at the intersection of intercultural business communication/cross-cultural management, global leadership and applied linguistics. She was a member of several multidisciplinary research groups: Cross-Border Value Creation (CiBiViCi) at SNF/NHH, FOCUS (Future-Oriented Corporate Solutions) at NHH and EURLING (linguistic complexity of political discourse on European integration) at the University of Bergen.

She has conducted fieldwork in several countries, including China, Korea, India, Norway, Sweden, Germany and France. Coming from a multicultural background, she thrives when cultures and disciplines meet and aims to bridge these effectively.

Her work has been published in international journals and peer-reviewed books. The list of her publications can be found in her CV and on Cristin.
