Limited Liability and Moral Hazard Implications

COOPS seminars are organized around a short presentation, followed by a discussion opening onto a general conversation.

Guest speaker: Marie-Laure DJELIC, ESSEC Business School
Discussant: Claire LEMERCIER, CSO-Sciences Po, CNRS

Marie-Laure DJELIC is Professor in Management at ESSEC Business School, Head of the ESSEC Research Center on Capitalism, Globalization and Governance in Paris and Associate Dean of the PhD Program, ESSEC Business School. Her research interests include the transnational diffusion of rules and practices; the historical trans-formation of capitalism and national institutions as well as the evolution of the governance of capitalism and globalization. She has published broadly on those issues. In a recent volume, “Transnational Communities: Shaping Global Governance” (2010, CUP), co-edited with Sigrid Quack, she explores the various roles that transnational communities play in the emergence, stabilization and transformation of transnational rules and modes of governance.

Claire LEMERCIER is an economic historian and CNRS researcher at the Centre de Sociologie des Organisations. Her work focuses on the historical and national forms of the public – private institutional divide. In her unpublished HDR manuscript, she compares the administration of commercial justice in France, the United Kingdom and the United States in the nineteenth century. In other work, she is investigating changes in the recruitment of top managers and the governance of the largest French firms from the 1830s to today (with Pierre François) and the birth of international commercial arbitration from the 1880s to the 1960s (with Jérôme Sgard).
