Professor of research methods at Institut Mines-Telecom Business School and member of the Laboratoire en Innovation Technologie Économie et Management (LITEM, a Paris-Saclay research lab). He is responsible for doctoral training. He has organised and animated a large number of national and international seminars and conferences.

He advocates a humanistic approach to organisations and research, where he emphasises the importance of affects, relatedness and performance. He favours qualitative approaches, inventive methods, reflexivity and evocative writing. For him, organisational behaviour benefits from being studied from a rich and sensitive exposure to the field and/or armed with a variety of organisational theories as well as an openness to other human sciences such as ethics, ethnography, philosophy and critical approaches. He regularly collaborates with Brazil, the Netherlands and Canada.

He has published six books (Demos: Philosophy, pedagogy, politics; Turn to Film. Film in the business school; Méthode qualitative de recherche en sciences sociales : S’exposer, cheminer, réfléchir ou l’art de composer sa méthode; L’art du sens dans les organisations; The Magic of Organizations; Afetos na pesquisa acadêmica) and more than 70 articles and book chapters. He has edited six special issues of journals, including D/Ecrire le qualitatif in the RIPCO.
