ESSEC IRENE cooperated with the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs to train high-level government officials on European negotiation related issues

ESSEC IRENE cooperated with the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the European Union Centre in Singapore to train high-level government officials from 7 Asia-Pacific countries on European negotiation related issues in Singapore, on the 5th, 6th and 7th of December, 2011. The European Union has become an increasingly influential actor globally, as a result of a growing number of agreements with countries that range from economic cooperation and trade to foreign policy and crisis management. As a result, the understanding of the EU decision-making and negotiation mechanisms has become key professional competence for a growing number of diplomatic, political and economic professionals across the world.

The Entrepreneurs & Co Evening

The large community of ESSEC entrepreneurs will gather Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at the ESSEC Campus - CNIT building

As a driving force of entrepreneurial development in France, ESSEC has been classified by the Financial Times as the 5th leading university in the world for entrepreneurship in 2011. Innovation and entrepreneurship are still at the heart of ESSEC’s values. Instilling a desire to create and innovate has propelled ESSEC to initialize its pioneer actions in this domain. In the past ten years, the academic and operational system of the school has developed considerably with the institution of programs, chairs, and business incubators such as ESSEC Ventures, the innovative design program (Création de produits innovants or CPI), the Institute for Service Innovation & Strategy (ISIS), as well as the Antropia program for social entrepreneurship.
This environment allows for the creation of more than 50 companies per year. Rich with entrepreneurial experience, ESSEC, in partnership with the Versailles Val d’ Oise/Yvelines Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIV), has created this event which reunites 300 of its entrepreneurs: company founders, managers, and business purchasers for a unique evening of networking.

Launch of the ESSEC Chair of Change

ESSEC is launching a new multi-company research Chair on the theme of change, in partnership with CNP Assurances, Monier France, EDF, RTE, SFR and SNCF.

Change lies at the heart of company preoccupations and of society in general. Industry leaders and politicians freely employ the term change, whereas the mechanisms and processes which facilitate successful change are more difficult to grasp. The new ESSEC Chair has set itself the objective of understanding the phenomena and mechanisms of change within a variety of community and economic environments. This is a research Chair which will finance doctoral studies and projects.
Research will be carried out with members of ESSEC, Chair partners, private partners (companies) and public partners (public services, ministries etc.) for wider interaction between education, applied research and operational projects.

The Relationship with Success: ESSEC and the CSA Institute Publish the Results of an International Study

On Thursday ESSEC revealed the results of an international study on success which it conducted in partnership with the CSA Institute.

In all of the countries the study looked at (Germany, Brazil, China, the US, France, India, Morocco, the United Kingdom, Russia and Singapore), the feeling of having achieved success in life is shared by an overwhelming majority amongst the upper socio-professional categories surveyed.
Although one’s professional life is very closely connected to the feeling of success, it is first and foremost the relationship with one’s nearest and dearest (colleagues, family, friends) which seems to offer a universal definition of the idea of success.

Through this study, ESSEC sought to explore the notion of success and its components across the world.

  • What does it mean to achieve success in life?
  • Is there a universal definition of success?
  • What are the trade-offs between one’s personal and professional life?
  • What are the real attributes of success?
  • Are some countries or cultures more conducive to creating success than others?

Women Be European Board Ready!

ESSEC launches a program to help women to take their rightful place on executive and management boards in partnership with MIDDLENEXT

Companies can no longer ignore the issue of parity between men and women in the top-level echelons of their organisations: increasing competition, scarcity of talent and stakeholder demands for equal opportunity mean proactive action by companies is now imperative.
A recent law reforming corporate governance requires the presence of women on the board of directors – an indication of the growing urgency of the issue. Despite efforts by certain companies to implement a more balanced proportion of men and women managers, there is still much progress to be made.
The higher up in an organisation's hierarchy, the fewer the women. Despite concerted efforts by national and European authorities (fairer regulations, incentives etc.), and the commitments of pioneering companies, institutions and associations, whilst some progress has been made, the glass ceiling remains largely intact. According to the European Commission, out of the 30% of
managers who are women, only 10% reach director level.

Backed by its strategic partner BNP Paribas Wealth Management, and its associate partners, Fondation de France and KPMG.

The ESSEC business school is set to launch its new Philanthropy Chair today.
For the past several years, philanthropy has grown and become more international, just as its role in the handling of certain social challenges has been expanding and the tools made available to philanthropists have become more diverse. The highly unique positioning of philanthropy - falling within neither the public sector nor the private, for-profit sector - and its ability to innovate have encouraged experimentation in all areas of general interest that aim to improve the common good (health, education, culture, environment….).
Nevertheless, European philanthropy remains poorly understood and research dedicated to it is fragmented, spread out amongst a number of universities and think tanks.

Based on this observation, ESSEC wanted to set up a research chair, joining forces with BNP Paribas.

ESSEC’s Real Estate Management Observatory publishes report on the role of sustainable development and the development of corporate real estate management functions in large companies. The OMI (Real Estate Management Observatory), founded and directed by Ingrid Nappi-Choulet, a professor at ESSEC Business School, has performed a survey of real estate directors in listed and non-listed companies, regarding the role of sustainable development in their organisations.

The response rate of the survey was 25.5%, the equivalent to 60 companies.  
45% of companies are listed on the stock exchange (CAC40, SBF120, Nasdaq, etc.). Over one-third of respondents (37%) belong to the industrial sector (25% industrial manufacturing), the remaining 63% belong to the tertiary sector (25% financial activity, real estate and insurance).

While a previous OMI survey, performed in 2005 during the implementation of new accounting norms,  underlined the slow acknowledgement and emergence of the real estate functions in large listed companies in France, this new study reveals a general awareness of the sustainable development issues by recently developed and better-informed real estate departments.

The economy, science and technology progressively dominate our lives, practically and intellectually, with predictable repercussions on human interaction and the natural world in which we live. It is vitally important, in light of certain contemporary issues, to reevaluate often conflicting categorizations of sexuality. Developing a deeper understand of sexual dynamics is essential if we are to overcome some of the global challenges ahead.
Indeed, by developing a clearer understanding of the genders, it becomes evident that in the roots of their inherent differences, lie common foundations.

In his book “Sexuality and Globalization”, Laurent Bibard reveals how the interaction between the different sexes increasingly leads to well-documented situations of tension, debate, misunderstanding as well as to reconciliation and cross-fertilization, resulting in gender-related issues and debates that have become central to the human condition...
