Ari Alf Mikael Rehn serves as Professor at the Department of Technology and Innovation within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), where his research critically examines innovation through interdisciplinary lenses spanning entrepreneurship, social sciences, and cultural theory. His work interrogates the ideological underpinnings and paradoxical nature of innovation discourse within contemporary capitalist structures. Rehn's scholarship centers on the cultural and philosophical dimensions of innovation, employing critical theory and ethnographic methodologies to analyze industry practices, historicism, and crisis narratives. He investigates how concepts like entrepreneurship and technological progress become ideologically charged within late capitalism, with particular focus on spectres of crisis, ontological questions in innovation frameworks, and the commodification of creative processes. His research reveals tensions between innovation as an idealized concept and its messy material realities in organizational contexts. His recent publications demonstrate a pronounced trend toward deconstructing innovation's ideological machinery, particularly through contributions to the 2023 volume Debating Innovation: Perspectives and Paradoxes of an Idealized Concept . These works collectively examine innovation's relationship with power structures, image production, and future-making practices, revealing how the innovation industry perpetuates specific cultural narratives while marginalizing alternative perspectives. The research exhibits strong interdisciplinary convergence between business studies, critical social theory, and cultural analysis. Rehn's scholarly recognition includes: Election to the Academy of Technical Sciences (Akademiet for de Tekniske Videnskaber) in May 2023, recognizing his contributions to technical innovation discourse In academic supervision, Rehn has guided master's level research including the 2018-2021 project "Value Sensitive Design of Unmanned Aerial Systems" with student M. H. Frederiksen, demonstrating his commitment to integrating ethical frameworks with emerging technology development. His teaching bridges theoretical innovation studies with practical design challenges in engineering contexts.
