Laure Cabantous

Biography

Laure is Professor of Strategy and Organization at Cass Business School. She has a specific interest for the performative power of theories - that is their ability to shape the world and business practices. Laure also studies decision-making practices, both at the organizational and the individual levels with a specific interest for the management of risk and uncertainty, the interplay between intuition and analysis, and calculative practices in organisations (i.e., how various types of models such as economic models, business models are used in organisations and help managers make decisions).

Research Interest

Over the last three years, I have conducted research on three topics: i) the performativity power of theories; ii) decision-making and cognition and; iii) the role of models and calculative practice (in particular in the reinsurance industry). In these three areas of research, I have published several papers in internationally and nationaly excellent journals (e.g., Journal of Management, Journal of Risk and Uncertainty; Human Relations)
