His research interests are in organizational institutionalism, and his work spans a variety of empirical phenomena and settings. In more detail, academic interests include the dissemination and local adaptation of global ideas, in particular the heterogeneous theorizations and local variations in meaning, as well as the relationship between different bundles of managerial concepts and their underlying governance and business models in the public and private sectors. Recent work has been concerned with discursive framing as well as with visual and multimodal rhetoric. Markus research has been published in scholarly outlets such as the Academy of Management Annals, Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Management Studies, Public Administration and Research in the Sociology of Organizations, as well as in books and edited volumes.
