Emeritus Director of research at CNRS and École Polytechnique, Pierre-Jean Benghozi holds an engineering degree (Polytechnique X76), a PhD in Organization Science and an HDR in Economics from Université Paris Dauphine. Until 2013, he headed the Economics and Management Research Unit (UMR X-CNRS) and the "Innovation and regulation of digital services" chair he founded in partnership with Polytechnique, Telecom ParisTech and Orange. He is one of the internationally recognized pioneers of research into digital business models, particularly in the creative industries. As such, he has been directly involved in the regulation of the telecommunication sector as a board member of the French National Regulation Authority (Arcep). He is regularly called upon to address these issues, both nationally and internationally, by public institutions and private companies alike. In particular, he chaired the evaluation mission for the Plan France Très Haut Débit, commissioned by the French government and the European Commission. Pierre-Jean Benghozi is regularly called upon to teach in leading universities in Paris and abroad, including the University of Geneva from 2019 to 2021 and the Business Science Institute (Luxembourg). He is also a member of the Ecole Polytechnique's Scientific Integrity Ethics Committee.

Research topics

Regulation, organization and the digital economy

My research focuses on the structuring of value chains, technological investments and new business models associated with digital technology and its infrastructures (fiber optics, 5G, IoT, etc.), as well as on the modalities and challenges of its regulation.

My research focuses on value chains and associated sector dynamics (audiovisual, press, books, video games), on new market configurations associated with digital technology (platformization, intermediation and prescription), and on the strategies of the various players (producers and distributors).
