Series 2, Episode 29 - How can we better understand and manage organisational scandals? With Professor Julien Jourdan, HEC Paris
b'
\\u201cScandals regularly sweep through organizational fields: they wreak havoc in markets, vaporize billions of dollars in firm value, bring down giant corporations, get CEOs fired, alter the evolution of technologies, and trigger major changes in society. In spite of their significance for organizational life, scandals have received remarkably limited attention in management research.\\u201d
So says our guest today on the Brain for Business podcast, Professor Julien Jourdan, who attempts to address this gap in the literature by building on the social sciences\\u2019 sparse but growing stream of research on scandals to provide new insights and understandings.
Julien Jourdan is an Associate Professor of Management and Human Resources at HEC Paris.
Julien\\u2019s research focuses on reputation, legitimacy, and other social evaluations of organizations. In so doing, he examines how a) stakeholders evaluate organizations in institutionally complex environments and b) how these evaluations shape organizational conduct, governance, strategy, and performance.
Julien has previously held academic positions at Imperial College London, Universit\\xe0 Bocconi, and PSL-Paris Dauphine, and before moving into academia was a finance executive at a major film studio.
