Mickaël studies the role of discourses, texts and talks in strategy making and in entrepreneurial activities. More specifically, he examines how individual claims and discourses contribute to the diffusion of norms and strategies. In current projects, using computational text analyses, he examines how corporate strategies develop and diffuse through the million messages of a company internal messaging tool, or how individual claims about sustainability in the food industry contribute to the institutionalization of sustainability norms.
