MALAURENT Julien

Julien Malaurent est Professeur Associé dans le département IDS, et directeur académique du Master exécutif (en ligne) sur le sujet de la transformation digitale. Il est également en charge, conjointement avec le Prof. Guillaume Chevillon, du Metalab.

Les projets de recherche de Julien reposent sur des approches qualitatives (étude de cas et recherche-action), et abordent des problématiques liées aux pratiques de travail des utilisateurs enracinées dans un contexte multiculturel, mais aussi l'ubiquité numérique, et les sujets de la transformation digitale aux niveaux organisationnel et sociétal. En termes de méthodologie et d'épistémologie, les projets de recherche de Julien soulignent l'importance de la réflexivité envers l'utilisation de cadres théoriques et l'interprétation des données empiriques.
