Short Bio

Dr. Domenico Dentoni is Full Professor of Business, Resilience and Transformation at the Montpellier Business School (MBS). In active collaboration with local and global societal stakeholders and students, his research seeks to understand, explain and enact how processes of organizing support the capacity of systems to bounce back, adapt, and radically change in the face of grand challenges. To do so, he bridges organization and entrepreneurship theories with wicked problems and complex adaptive systems. His work has been recently published in Journal of Business Venturing, Organization Studies, Organization & Environment, Journal of Business Ethics and Business & Society among others. In line with this research vision, Domenico teaches participatory systems dynamics and value network analysis for organizational and systemic change at executive and graduate levels. Before joining MBS in 2021, Domenico personally received research grants for 2,4 Million in 2011-2020 from both European and international public funding agencies.
