How Business Organizes Collectively
Collective action by firms is a central societal phenomenon, whereby firms set up specific devices, referred to by the authors as ‘Firms’ Collective Action Devices’ (FCADs). This timely book shows how the phenomenon has been studied in a variety of academic disciplines, including history, political science, economics, sociology, management and organization theory, and how FCADs are used in lobbying, and to tackle issues such as those related to the environment and human rights. The book uses the concepts of meta-organization and heterarchy to give a fascinating overview of firms’ collective action, investigate some little-known aspects of the phenomenon, and examine the impact of FCADs on the economy and democracy.
Megaproject Leaders
Megaproject Leaders brings together 18 prominent academics who interviewed 16 great megaproject leaders originating from 10 different countries.

The novel ideas presented will appeal to academics, practitioners and university students.

Les dimensions oubliées de la gestion
En 1990 paraissait l’ouvrage fondateur en sciences de gestion intitulé L’individu dans l’organisation : les dimensions oubliées. Entrepris et coordonné par Jean-François Chanlat, cet ouvrage mettait en lumière des dimensions de l’être humain qui ont été dans une large mesure mises de côté par les sciences de gestion.

Labour Trauma in France
This book examines the suicide crisis in the French workplace and asks why work or conditions of work increasingly push some employees to take their own lives. To address this question, the book analyses a corpus of testimonial material linked to 66 suicide cases across three large French companies during the period from 2005 to 2015. The book investigates what these suicide voices tell us about the present economic order and its impact on human labour within the contemporary juncture of finance-driven neoliberalism.
