Dag Oivind Madsen, PhD, specializes in management and strategy. Before joining Colorado Mesa University, Madsen taught courses in strategy, management control systems, organizational behavior, and research methods at the University of South-Eastern Norway. He has also taught at several other Norwegian universities.

His research interests revolve around two main areas. The first area concerns how organizations design and use management control systems to implement their strategic objectives. The second area concerns the diffusion and evolution of management tools and techniques, such as the Balanced Scorecard, SWOT analysis, and Blue Ocean Strategy. He has published widely on management-related topics in international peer-reviewed journals.

Outside of work, Madsen enjoys spending time with his family and two kids. Madsen also likes to travel internationally, especially to his native land of Norway. A surprising fact about Madsen is that he at one time was able to bench press more than 390 pounds.
