Autorenporträt

François-Xavier de Vaujany is full professor of Management and Organization Studies at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL and researcher at DRM since 2010. His research deals with the societal and political dimensions of (new) ways of working and their management. He is particularly interested in the time and space dimensions of (new) ways of organizing work in our digital societies. By means of historical approaches, ethnographies and qualitative experimentations, he has thus explored various organizational phenomena such as major industrial companies, universities, maker spaces, coworking spaces, digital nomadism, investment banks or old religious organizations.
