Professor Blanchot's research focuses on business mergers, inter-firm cooperation dynamics, and management, with particular emphasis on intercultural management and trust-based management. His work explores strategic alliances, organizational trust mechanisms, and the complexities of international business integration. His research methodology combines theoretical frameworks with practical applications, often drawing on James S. Coleman's social theory to analyze organizational behavior and trust dynamics in business contexts.

His publications reveal a consistent focus on trust as a central theme in organizational management, spanning from theoretical explorations of trust foundations to practical applications in strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions, and international business contexts. The research shows evolution from early work on partnership models and joint ventures to more recent investigations of trust in democratic institutions and citizen participation, indicating expanding theoretical scope while maintaining core management focus.
