Barbara Simpson is Professor of Leadership and Organisational Dynamics at Strathclyde Business School in Glasgow. Her PhD in Management, from the University of Auckland, marked a sea change from her earlier career as a physics-trained geothermal scientist. Traces of this past do, however, remain evident in her work today, bringing the principles of action, flow, and movement to bear on organisational processes such as creativity, leadership and moral action. In a just-published volume co-edited with Line Revsbæk, the implications of a process ontology for the doing of research are examined in detail. 

François-Xavier de Vaujany is professor at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL (DRM). His work deals with new ways of organizing and their relationships with societal transformations. He has recently published or will very publish soon "The Oxford Handbook of Phenomenologies and Organization" (with Aroles, J & Pérezts, M.) at Oxford University Press, "Organization as Time" (with Grandazzi, A. & Holt, R.) at Cambridge University Press and "Apocalypse managériale" at Les Belles Lettres. 

Philippe Lorino is distinguished professor at ESSEC Business School.and adviser to the French Nuclear Safety Authority about organizational factors of risk. He draws from pragmatist philosophy (Peirce, James, Dewey, Mead) and from Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism to study organizations as organizing processes oriented towards the exploration of complex and uncertain futures, rather than organizational structures. He has published articles in top-ranking journals (Accounting, Organizations and Society; Organization Studies; Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal; Scandinavian Journal of Management…). His book “Pragmatism and Organization Studies” (Oxford University Press) has received the 2019 EGOS Book Award.
