Organizational transformation, behaviors and decisions

The Organizational Transformation, Behaviors and Decisions Axis questions the components and parameters of decisionmaking (analysis of the adaptation mechanisms of individual strategies), through the study of economic, managerial, financial and social choices, carried out by individuals, the groups and the markets.

Research issues are built around the following questions:

How can individuals set the limits of their range of relent/useful information? How does the individual select the reference group and the ways in which interactions can lead to performance rather than a loss of resources?

By what mechanisms can individuals measure effort or attribute merit to the contributions of others as well as to the communication system, working jointly with others to transform the available information into useful information?

How to analyze social and antisocial behaviors ?

What links can be identified between the Common knowledge And the social construction within a team?

‍Which stereotyping are associated with compliance and proximity standards?What are the factors that facilitate internal communication and the attributes of beliefs (projects associated with the environment, wine and food)?

How do they work rationales, human and digital tools Within undertakings, of teams And markets ?

Laboratory for experimentation in social sciences and behavior analysis (LESSAC)

Created in 2008, LESSAC makes it possible to conduct experiments that mobilize behavioral economics. The data from these experiments provide a qualitative response to the challenges related to decision-making in business.

LESSAC is a platform open to all researchers at the school, who wish to mobilize experimental methods for their research and explore decision-making mechanisms in the fields of management, finance or marketing. Equipped, since 2016, with an experimental room with 100 stations, the LESSAC is among the most efficient experimental economics laboratories in France and Europe.

LESSAC fulfills 4 research missions:

Bringing new insights to various issues relating to decision theory, game theory, psychology or even microeconomic theory by focusing on the adaptation by the individual of his empirical strategies in the presence of substituability/complementarity/anticipated actions of other people.

Dissemination of the work in international publications peer-reviewed, specialized university journals and general or specialized professional journals in economics, decision theory and management.

By introducing experimental methods into pedagogy and teaching and by endeavoring to popularize, we aim at a transfer of knowledge allowing identify relevant solutions for decision-makers, and aimed at a better understanding/regulation of decision-making.

A methodological objective via the implementation of experimental methods, valid for decision-making and data collection, and the expansion of the use of these unbiased methods among professionals and academics.
