Panoramed Work Package Innovation
.I am participating in the Panoramed Work Package of Innovation which focuses on identifying new shared value initiatives at the intersection of the research and innovation, economic and social and environmental spheres. These are initiatives in which the innovation (based on the application of knowledge and technology) generates new economic, social and environmental value.

SustainMed research projectMediterranean is considered an ecosystem “under siege”, due to overfishing and combined anthropogenic pressures, a situation expected to worsen with climate change. In this unstable and multifaceted maritime interface, 90% of assessed fish stocks are overfished. Other ocean management problems such as plastic, underwater noise pollution, invasive species threaten the Mediterranean Sea, making it even more complex to govern common resources. The question of how to sustainably manage the marine Mediterranean resources while meeting United Nations Sustainable Goals remains largely unanswered. The objective of our interdisciplinary research project SUSTAINMED is to analyze drivers and configurations of sustainable seafood systems in the basin, adapted to both natural and social local ecosystems. To do so, our work will investigate three intertwined factors: sustainability of practices and supply systems, norms and institutions that affect these systems, and engagement of stakeholders.

Oceans' sustainabilityOceans represent more than 70% of the earth’s surface and constitute a crucial challenge for its future. The management of oceans’ future is on the political agenda, and media discussed a lot some specific topics such as acidification, plastic and overfishing. However, a low-profile yet essential topic is emerging, marine sound, on which the European Commission has started to focus.
The management of oceans ecosystems is at the center of environmental policy agendas and wider political, industrial and societal concerns. Noise for instance is a particularly significant problem in the US and the European Union. Anthropic sonic perturbations of marine environment are varied (from sonars and explosions to marine traffic and offshore energy technologies) and contribute to a complex array of harmful effects (especially in animal behavior and species survival). |
Performativity and Management SciencePerformativity provides an interesting way to look at relationships between theory and practice, and has emerged as one of the leading perspectives in economic and financial markets sociology (Callon, 1998; MacKenzie et al., 2007). In recent years, the question of performativity has reached the field of management studies. While recent literature has looked into performativity successes and its mechanisms, it does not symmetrically look at performativity failures. The notion of felicity conditions is useful to study the performativity of strategic management theories

SMEs and governanceSMEs represent the large part of companies in France and Spain, how do they participate to the sectoral and cross-sectoral governance game?
What power do meta-organizations of SMEs hold and how do they influence sector's construction or regulation construction? |

Sharing economy: new business models, collective ethics and field's structurationThe concept of "sharing economy" and the phenomena it entails have the potential to disrupt almost all industries, regulatory frameworks and societal models.
With Antoine Souchaud from ESCP Europe we study the sector of crowdfunding, how it is collectively structured and regulated, institutionalized but also how ethics are constructed, and how alternative business models emerge. |
Companies and Human RightsFirms’ social and environmental performances are often very controversial. In the extractive industry, whether it concerns operations’ security or indigenous people’s human rights respects, firms face social and societal challenges that confront them to great reputational risks. Global risks endanger the firm’s image while local risks threaten firms’ legitimacy and their access to resources.
To manage these risks, firms develop management tools around human rights that present legal and public characteristics. This new instruments are developed at the level of the firm (indicators, grievances mechanisms, stakeholders management devices, etc.) and at a collective level in the form of soft law or self regulation (good practices, recommendations, etc.) |

Organizing for Big dataOrganizing for big data and open data, in our highly digitized world, is a necessity. Extant literature focuses on open collaboration in the context of business ecosystems and science. However, little attention has been paid to the kind of governance open data specifically requires, especially in a context of big data. One project I participate in, consists in a case study of the structuration of the oceanography ecosystem’s governance. This governance involves three coordination mechanisms: data foundation (by actors that produce the open modular data), global piloting (of public and private actors’ interests), and implementation (of open data platforms with their extension markets).

Network analysisApplying network analysis to different domains such as geomarketing (with Michael Flacandji), semantic structure or co-citation analysis carries a very high potential, thanks to tools such as ORA, Gephi or VOSViewer.

Management instruments and devicesCompanies are not only made of humans and objects but are actually also constituted of knowledge and rules, in other words of information. Different forms of information allow actors to organize action and take decisions. These rules and knowledge that orient behaviors and choices can be management instruments or devices. Their multiplication is a characteristic of modern organizations.
