From the Idea to the Organization" (Eska Publishing 2011) collective edited with Sophie Morin Delerm, "La stratégie du propriétaire" (Village Mondial Pearson 2012) with Nicolas Kachaner and Sophie Mignon followed by a trilogy on the resilience and sustainability of organizations , "L’éternité en héritage" (Economica, 2nd ed. 2016) with Isabelle Lamothe, "Entrepreneurs, magiciens and prophètes" (Hermann, 2019) with François Moreau and "La pierre et l’édifice" (Economica, 2022) with Erwan Nabat.
