Elina Vikstedt serves as a University Instructor and Doctoral Researcher in the Doctoral Programme in Administrative Sciences with academic focus in Business Studies and Politics. Her scholarly work bridges public administration theory and sustainability practice, examining how institutional frameworks shape sustainability implementation in governmental contexts.
Her research interests center on Sustainable Development Goals integration in public sector management, with particular expertise in institutional logics, performance measurement systems, and hybrid governance structures. Vikstedt's work reveals how multiple competing institutional logics create both challenges and opportunities for sustainability implementation in local government settings, with extensive empirical focus on the Finnish municipal system.
Vikstedt's publication record demonstrates a clear trajectory examining the accounting-management nexus in sustainability governance. Her recent articles analyze how municipal administrations operationalize Sustainable Development Goals through accounting practices, revealing tensions between traditional financial management frameworks and emerging sustainability imperatives. Her integrative review on multiple logics in performance management provides a theoretical foundation for understanding these complex institutional dynamics.
