Digital Organizations & Society Chair

Our mission at the DOS Chair is to produce and disseminate scientific knowledge on the impact of digital technologies on individuals, organizations, health and our society.

The chair is supported by about fifteen researchers from Grenoble Ecole de Management. We work with them, without preconceived ideas, to understand how these technologies are changing our daily lives, the way we work and interact with others; the way firms innovate, create value, or reorganize themselves; the way our society functions, its ability to adapt or resist, its uses and representations.

Livre blanc Consentement aux soins - White paperWhite Paper: Consent to care - Is the patient truly free? (2024 - in French)
Do patients truly have freedom of choice when facing their doctors? Is the notion of "free and informed consent," enshrined in French law since 2002, fully implemented? This white paper explores these questions by gathering insights from healthcare professionals, legal experts, sociologists, anthropologists, and digital technology specialists in e-consent tools. A key conclusion emerges: a gap persists between legal requirements and practical applications.
