Dima Younes

I am Assistant Professor of Organization Theory in the department of Strategy and Organization and member of the OCE research center. My research focuses on the transformation of firms and work, a question that I examine through the study of new modes of governing research activities in large firms, their impact on researchers’ work and capabilities, and the influence of public policy in this domain. I teach strategy, organization theory and sociology.
