Democracy in organisations as a prerequisite for the vitality of democracy in society. The special role of digital information systems.

Maryse SALLES, Gabriel COLLETIS, Lycette CORBION, Euromemo annual conference 2025, 22-23 sept., Athens
In our so-called liberal societies, citizens are only part-time citizens: democracy ends at the doors of the organisations in which they work. We argue that this dichotomy is detrimental to the health of our democracies. There are many obstacles, but also some levers, to the advent of democracy within organisations. This presentation aims to analyse the role of digital information systems (IS) in organisational democracy, or indeed in its very possibility.
