Biography
François has been working on social networks and inter-organisational mobility. He is currently investigating the relationship between inter-organisational social networks and the demography of entrepreneurial ventures.
In his doctoral thesis he examined how reliance on status in selecting alliance partners varies according to the seeker's attributes in the global software industry.
He has also investigated the notion of intuitive or habitual action comparing the approaches of two important theorists: Herbert Alexander Simon in economics/cognitive psychology and Pierre Bourdieu in sociology.
