Biographie

Production manager for 6 years at the automotive supplier Schaeffler (from 2008 to 2011) and then at the Amazon logistics centre (from 2011 to 2014), Clément Desgourdes began his career in teaching and research in 2015 as a contractual doctoral student and then as an ATER. His main teaching interests are in project management, production and quality management, as well as the supervision of collective and individual projects.

His research work focuses mainly on the roles and behaviours of actors in times of change: study of change adoption processes; study of the influence of managers on their employees (leadership, sensemaking, sensegiving); measurement of employees' attitudes towards change (well-being at work, commitment and attitude towards change). A mixed methodology is generally used in my studies.

Clément Desgourdes holds a PhD in Management Sciences from the University of Tours and joins Excelia Business School in 2019 as an assistant professor in project management and co-leader of the GameLab.
