Dr Sophie Bollinger

Sophie Bollinger is a Doctor in Management Science. She is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Management of Strasbourg in France. She also conducts her research at the BETA laboratory (Research centre on theoretical and applied economics). She studies the management of innovation processes in various sectors. She also has professional experience in auditing at an international auditing company where she worked with many firms of various sizes and from different sectors of activity (distribution, industrial, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology). This rewarding background allowed her to get in touch with actors in general and financial management, learn about their interests, the tools they use to increase their financial performance, and gain greater awareness of the needs of those firms. Additionally, she has worked in the financial department of two non-profit organisations in the social and solidarity economy sector, allowing her to explore a fast-changing part of our economy. Her research has since focused on the challenges of reconciling solid social objectives with the need for financial control.
