Research topics

 

Creative economics

From a multi-level perspective, my research focuses on the functioning of organizations linked to creative activity, mainly in the creative industries (cinema, performing arts, publishing, perfume, architecture, video games, music, fashion, design...). It involves analyzing creative activity, its integration into organizations, the management issues specific to these activities, the types of organization that respond to them, as well as sector dynamics and public policy issues.
