An EconoTimes perspective

Christof Brandtner

Assistant professor in organisational and economic sociology, EM Lyon Business School

I am an organizational and economic sociologist studying how institutions, organizations, and urban environments shape the emergence and diffusion of social innovations. I conduct research on civil society organizations, urban governance of crises, and institutional change. I am currently writing 'Cities in Action', a book about cities’ efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change (under contract with Columbia University Press).
