Pascal Le Masson is Professor of Design, Innovation and Management at MINES ParisTech, Professor of the Chair of Design Theory and Methods for Innovation and Director of the Center of Management Science, and Chairman of the Design Theory Special Interest Group of the Design Society (with E. Subrahmanian, CMU). He has published several papers and books, the most recent one in English being ‘Strategic Management of Innovation and Design’ (co-authored with Armand Hatchuel and Benoit Weil, Cambridge University Press, 2011). Benoit Weil is a Professor at MINES ParisTech, co-ordinator of the Chair of Design Theory and Methods for Innovation, Head of the Engineering Design and Management Curricula at MINES Paris Tech, and deputy director of the Centre for Management Science at MINES ParisTech. His research focuses on the rationalizations of collective actions. He has created the Research Program on Design Activities with Professor Armand Hatchuel. Together they proposed a new theory of design reasoning (C-K theory) accounting for the dual expansion of knowledge and concepts characteristic of innovative design. Deepening its foundations, they recently showed striking similarities between C-K design theory and Forcing in set theory. He has published several papers and books, the most recent one being Strategic Management of Innovation and Design (co-authored with Armand Hatchuel and Pascal Le Masson, Cambridge University Press, 2011). Armand Hatchuel (is a Professor at MINES ParisTech, co-ordinator of the Chair of Design Theory and Methods for Innovation, Fellow of the Design Society, Member of the French Academy of Technologies. He has been very active in the development of  theory of management that is adapted to intensive design work and highly innovative contexts.
