Introduction
The guiding principle of my research activities is my interest in the management of innovation, particularly (but not exclusively) technological innovation and its strategic, organizational and human challenges. This has led to research into the relationship between technological innovation and competency management, ICT and competitive advantage, and the emergence of technological standards and associated strategies. Above all, I have tried to propose a truly strategic approach to the management of intellectual property rights, a fascinating subject on which there is still much to be done.
Ressources internes
While some management research can be carried out individually, more and more often it is carried out in the form of collective research projects, which may involve the participation of PhD students. Naturally, as in all academic disciplines, it is reflected in a number of publications. I also try to disseminate my work beyond the academic world.
