Notes on Editors
Markus A. Höllerer is a Professor of Public Management and Governance at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria, and holds a position as Senior Scholar in Organization Theory at UNSW Sydney Business School. His scholarly work is focused on the study of institutions, meaning, and novel forms of organization and governance. Research interests include, among others, issues of collaborative governance at the interface of private sector, public administration, and civil society, the global dissemination and local adaptation of bundles of management ideas, and various forms of institutional pluralism and complexity. Recent studies engage with institutional arrangements as multimodal accomplishments and related methodology.
Thibault Daudigeos is a Professor of Organization Studies at Grenoble Ecole de Management and the head of the Alternative Forms of Markets and Organizations (AFMO) research team. His research focuses on the role of business in society and on the related institutional dynamics in and around organizations. He is especially interested in institutional and organizational arrangements that foster social innovations. He has recently launched a new research program on the sharing economy.
Dennis Jancsary is an Assistant Professor at the Institute for Organization Studies at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business. His research mainly draws on institutional approaches in organization theory. Current studies focus on the communicative dimension of institutions and organizations, specifically the role of verbal, visual, and multimodal forms of rhetoric, narrative, and symbolism. Empirically, he explores such conceptual issues in the context of the institutionalization of management knowledge. He is interested in novel methodology that captures meaning structures from a variety of communicative traces.
