Crowdlending: Anatomy of a successful strategy
Risk taking, cooperation and competition are the ingredients for entrepreneurial success, which CNRS and ESCP Europe researchers have been looking into. They have decoded the strategy for conquering a new market space – crowdlending – initiated between 2014 and 2016 by an entrepreneur, who created a competition-free niche while contributing to implementing long-term regulations on crowdlending in France. This two-tiered strategy could serve for other emerging sectors, such as cryptocurrencies. This work was published on March 1, 2018 in Gérer et Comprendre.

Call for papers !

With Sanne Bor, we are organizing a mini-track at BAM 2018 on meta-organizations! 

While there is growing recognition of the features particular to these organizations (see e.g. Ahrne & Brunsson, 2005, 2008), we hope this track will bring new theoretical and practical insights about the consequences of such features. What do these features mean for key organization, administrative, management, political or sociological theories and meta-organization practice? Do they make a difference? If so, how? What empirical work supports this? Successful submissions to the track should explicitly discuss how the paper contributes to meta-organization theory and/or practice.

Marine sound pollution

UPDATE : The position paper is available here ! 
The Observatory for Responsible Innovation is focusing in 2015 on the problematic field of ocean noise pollution. The management and engineering of oceans is (or should be) at the center of environmental policy agendas and wider political, industrial and societal concerns. Noise is a particularly hot problem here.
