Board of the Zeitschrift Controlling
........................................................
Professor Philippe Lorino is a
member of the Editorial Advisory
Board of the Zeitschrift
Controlling
........................................................
Dear readers, in the last couple of issues, we have introduced the new members of the Editorial Advisory Board of
the Zeitschrift Controlling. Starting
with this issue, we will publish in this
section portrayals of the present members of our Editorial Advisory Board
and update you on their work.
Philippe Lorino is professor of Management Control and Organization Theory
at ESSEC Business School (Paris and Singapore) and an adviser to the French
Nuclear Safety Authority (organizational
factors of risk) and to the French Railway
Company (strategic competence management). After graduating from E´cole
Polytechnique of Paris (1972) and E´cole
des Mines (1975), he exercised operational responsibilities, first in the French government administration (private adviser
to the Minister and deputy director of industrial policies at the Ministry of Industry), then as a director in the finance department of an international computer
company, in charge of redesigning management accounting systems. Since his
Ph.D. in Management (1993, Paris University), he has been a professor and researcher at ESSEC Business School. He
draws from pragmatist philosophy and
semiotics (Peirce, Dewey), dialogism
theory (Bakhtin) and activity theory (Vygotsky) to develop a view of organizing as
an ongoing process of dialogical inquiries, mediated by systems of signs such as
languages, technical tools and management systems. He is particularly interested in the role of management systems
(management accounting, performance
management, budgeting and planning)
in collective sensemaking and organizational change management, with such topics as: business process management,
strategic performance management, organizational control of risk, impact of
management control on collective work
practices, semiotic value of management
tools. He is actively involved in field studies of organizational situations which
require major changes simultaneously in
work practices and in management systems, e.g. situations of hazardous activities (nuclear energy, construction industry, space and aeronautics) or activities
facing deep strategic redefinitions (transportation, social housing, mass distribution, banking etc.). A list of published
books, chapters and articles ist available
