Biography
Maja Tampe is an assistant professor at the Department of Social Sciences at ESADE
Business School. In her research, she investigates private governance and sustainability,
with a particular focus on work practices, managerial systems, and organisational
change. Her work focuses on how transnational demands for more socially and environmentally
responsible practices are mediated in local sites of action-often in, but not limited
to, developing countries. In her research, she examines the implementation of sustainability
standards with agricultural producers in Brazil, Ecuador, and Ghana, to advance our
theoretical understanding of private governance and to inform the design of governance
institutions and policies. At ESADE, Maja teaches courses on strategies and leadership
for sustainable business. Her professional experience is in strategy consulting with
McKinsey and in organisational development, where she worked with Fortune 100 and
start-up companies. Maja holds a Master in Political Science from the University of
Münster in Germany, a Master in Public Administration from the Harvard Kennedy School
of Government, and a PhD in Management from the MIT Sloan School of Management.
