Armand Hatchuel (born 1952) is a French researcher and professor of management science and design theory at the Ecole des Mines de Paris (Centre for Management Science of Paris). He is a pioneer in the study of the cognitive and organizational dynamics at play in innovative enterprises, and is behind the development of several theories aimed at re-establishing management science as a fundamental science of collective action.

Academic career

Armand Hatchuel was graduated in 1973 with an engineering degree and further continued his studies in Mines ParisTech with the PhD program for management science.[ citation needed ] His academic career primarily took place at Mines ParisTech and the Paris Sciences et Lettres University, where he served as an assistant lecturer between 1974 and 1985, and as a second class professor from 1984 to 1994.[ citation needed ] In 1995, he was promoted first class professor and then in 2007 an exceptional class professor (2007). From 1998 to 2010, he was also the deputy director of the Centre for Management Science. [2]

In 1995 he created the design engineering program at Mines ParisTech, which he directed until 2009.[ citation needed ] In 2009, he co-founded and coordinated the Chair of Design Theory and Methods for Innovation with Benoit Wei. [3] In 2014, he contributed to creating the Chair of Enterprise Theory, Forms of Governance, and Collective Creation, directed by Blanche Segrestin and Kevin Levillain. [4]

From 1998 to 2006, Armand Hatchuel was a permanent guest professor at Chalmers University in Gothenburg and at the Stockholm School of Economics, where he participated in the FENIX Programme (business and knowledge creation).

C-K Theory

Hatchuel with Benoit Weil invented C-K theory, a design theory that models creative reasoning. The design has been behind multiple scientific and industrial breakthroughs. Hatchuel also developed a theory of prescribing relationships [5] to explain collective learning processes and the crises that they encounter in markets and organizations. He unified his work on rationality and the formation of collectives in his axiomatic theory of collective action. This theory clarified the concept of a "management rule" as an emancipating combination of rationality and responsibility, the history and ancient origins of which the author explored in depth. [6] The results contributed to the development of a new theory of the enterprise, [7] co-authored with Blanche Segrestin. This theory played a role in the enactment of a French Pacte Law of 2019 and, specifically, in the establishment of the French société à mission (profit-with-purpose corporation) status.

A chapter of the Palgrave Handbook of Organizational Change Thinkers, [8] as well as a chapter of "Les Grands Auteurs en Management de l'innovation et de la créativité" are dedicated to his work. [9]
