    Save the date: June 25th, 2010 - HEC, Paris


    Following the joint program of conferences between the Centre de Sociologie des Organisations (CSO, Paris), Rouen Business School, and HEC-Paris that took place during the Fall 2009, we have the great honor to welcome several leading scholars around the theme of Society and Organizations : From routines to movements - and back, next June 25th at HEC-Paris.

    The conference will be made up of 5 sessions, in which each guest speaker will present his/her paper (40/45 min) and a prominent international scholar will play the role of a provocateur by discussing and engaging the conversation with the audience (15/20 min).

    Martha Feldman (University of California Irvine), Mike Lounsbury (University of Alberta), Huggy Rao (Stanford University), Sarah Soule (Stanford University) and Francesca Polletta (University of California Irvine) are our guest speakers. Our provocateurs are David Seidl (University of Zurich), Julie Battilana (HBS), Ehrhard Friedberg (SC Po Paris), Frank den Hond (VU Amsterdam), and Quy Huy (Insead).

    The conference will take place on June 25th 2010 at HEC Paris, and will end with a social outing in Paris.


    Rouen Business School and HEC foundation finances this research day. Transportation (shuttle service), coffee breaks, lunch, and dinner are therefore offered. However, there is a participation fee to help us organize the event.
