Jean-Baptiste received his PhD in Management from McGill. He also holds a BSc and an MSc from the University of Technology of Compiègne, France. Jean-Baptiste joined QSB in 2009. His research focuses on the diffusion of management models and practices across organizational and cultural borders.
His current projects examine how organizations adopt novel management practices, and how industries respond to legitimacy threats. He regularly presents his research at the annual meetings of the Academy of Management, the European Group on Organization Studies, and the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada. His research has been published or is in press at Organization Studies, Human Relations, Journal of Organizational Behavior, and Journal of Business Ethics.

The committee selected Jean-Baptiste for his impressive record of publication in such a short period of time. In addition, he has a very active, ongoing stream of research that is highly relevant and is likely to continue to be published in the top journals.
Jean-Bapiste is a dedicated researcher who has already established an enviable record.
