GENERAL PROFILE

An organizational perspective is key to understanding current transformations in the state, capitalism, the production and diffusion of norms and knowledge, forms of collective action, the government of complex systems, or the governance of instabilities and conflicts. It allows us to apprehend dynamics both at the organizational level and in the complex networks that organizations constitute. A focus on instruments is useful in that context – instruments that public, private and non-governmental organizations use. These may be management, financial or digital instruments. An exploration of phases of design, diffusion and adoption, along with the impact of those instruments, must rest on a critical and empirically robust approach. By recruiting an assistant professor in sociology, the CSO intends to strengthen its research on the role of instruments in organizational dynamics, networks of organizations and organizing processes, at the crossroads between economic sociology, the sociology of instruments and the sociology of organizations.
