Key words

The New Management Practices Research Group is composed of researchers from different management disciplines. It specializes in the study of emerging management practices or practices currently gaining ground in certain sectors or in certain forms of organizations (SMEs; nonprofit sector: performing arts and other artistic companies; universities, etc.). Our research first investigates the transferability of these practices. It then consolidates around a common question: what meaning and what aims do organizational and institutional actors give to these practices, from their conception up to their use and appropriation?

To explore this, our research uses a range of theories from different social sciences (anthropology, ethnography, sociology, psycho-sociology, history....) in order to take account of the human, organizational and institutional issues that influence these practices and their adoption.

Within the group, a researcher on food culture in an anthropological context brings new understanding to market studies in the agriculture and foodstuff sectors.

Our research is presented at national and international conferences, published in academic texts and journals such as Comptabilité-Contrôle-Audit, Gérér et Comprendre, International Journal of Arts Management, Journal of World Trade, Management et Avenir, Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management, Revue Française de Gestion, Revue Internationale des PME, etc.
