Benjamin Huybrechts

Prof. Benjamin Huybrechts's Details

I am a Professor of Business & Society at IESEG School of Management (Lille, France). I hold a PhD in Management from the University of Liège (HEC Liège, 2010) and I spent my post-doctoral research stay at the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, University of Oxford (Saïd Business School). My research topics include the entrepreneurial dynamics underlying social and sustainable entrepreneurship, the emergence and management of social enterprises as hybrid organizational forms, the diffusion of social innovation, and the governance of cross-sector partnerships and networks. Fair trade is the main field in which I have explore these issues since my PhD thesis. My research has been published in several books (among which a book on fair trade and social enterprise at Routledge) and journals (for example in Organization Studies, the Journal of Business Ethics and the Journal of Management Studies).
