Conference "Research on the Organizational Society: Advances in Multilevel and Dynamic Network Analysis", June 16, 2011, University of Paris Dauphine, (Place du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny, 75116 Paris), Amphithéâtre A11. Conference organized by the IRISSO (Dauphine-CNRS) with the support from the Multi-Level Social Network program (ANR) and the Multilevel Network Modeling Group (Leverhulme Trust). At the meso level of analysis, modern societies have become complex organizational, managerial and market societies with multiple, superposed, interdependent and conflicting levels of agency. This conference brings together various approaches to multilevel, social and organizational network analyses to promote collaborations and exchanges of ideas, refurbish techniques and practices for social science research on changing relationships between the meso and the macro levels.
