Catherine DOS SANTOS

Catherine DOS SANTOS is a Professor of Strategic Management at the School of Management, University of Clermont Auvergne. Her research focuses on healthcare institutions, particularly Cancer Control Centers (CLCC), exploring strategic responses to organizational paradoxes through managerial innovation, coopetition, and social responsibility.

Her work examines the impact of healthcare reforms, such as France's HPST Law, on hospital governance, performance management, and public values. She investigates collaborative networks, boundary objects, and the balance between competition and cooperation in regional healthcare systems.

The articles reflect trends in healthcare strategic management, emphasizing coopetition, paradox resolution, and socio-economic approaches to hospital reform. Key themes include regional healthcare development, organizational resilience, and policy-driven transformations.

Her publications span journals like Question(s) de Management, Social Science & Medicine, and The Conversation France, with presentations at conferences such as AIRMAP, AIMS, and EURAM. She collaborates extensively with Anne Albert-Cromarias and Morad Mousli.
