Statisticians Promote Contributions to Society

During the International Year of Statistics in 2013 1,987 groups, 122 countries participate in global awareness campaign.

The ESSEC Business School and more than 1,987 organizations in 122 countries are combining energies this year to promote the International Year of Statistics (Statistics2013), a worldwide initiative that will highlight the contributions of the statistics field to finding solutions to global challenges. The goals of this awareness campaign are to:
• Increase public understanding of the power and impact of statistics on all aspects of society
• Nurture statistics as a profession, especially among high-school and college students Statistics2013 participants include national and international professional societies, universities, schools, businesses, government agencies and research institutes. These groups will help millions of people understand the value of statistical science through seminars, workshops and outreach to students and the media. "’Big Data’ has today become a trendy topic and continues to gain importance as the ‘black gold’ of tomorrow. But unlike oil, its potential relies not on the availability of a resource but on its refining. Statistical analysis can transform data into credible and relevant information that can be interpreted and applied" says Vincenzo Esposito Vinzi, Professor, Information Systems, Decision Sciences and Statistics Department, and Dean for Faculty and Faculty Affairs.

ESSEC will host the 1st ever SUN ESSEC conference on responsible management education, incorporating the 14th GRLI General Assembly

ESSEC Business School in partnership with the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI), EFMD (European Foundation for Management Education), the United Nations Global Compact France and the research network GOLDEN for Sustainability will host on June 6th, 7th and 8th “SUN ESSEC 2013”, a gathering of two hundred delegates from around the world for three days of engaged learning, action and interaction. Higher education in management is extremely impacted by the economic crisis. The relevant questions about how the processes and tools being taught in business schools, particularly those taught in the name of efficiency, amplify or not certain behaviours of greed and short-term decision-making are very pertinent today. Various academic structures work hard at examining such questions, notably the two large associations of international business schools, AACSB (American) and EFMD (European). These two entities decided in 2013 to attribute the role of driving the discussion on such reflections to the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI) - created in 2004 by the United Nations and EFMD. SUN ESSEC, as in Sustainable Development Network, will be a major international event at the interface between business, management education and society and will take place at ESSEC’s Cergy campus, near Paris.
It will focus on the fundamental changes required to:
- educate a new generation of globally responsible leaders,
- enable truly sustainable business,
- and engage in the transformation of society towards sustainability.

These risks can be accidental, natural or intentional. Through this initiative, the EU is putting in place a framework providing for cooperation and coordination between all levels of national, regional and international partners, thereby aiming to ensure an effective response to such risks. Eight regional centres are to be established, from Rabat and Manilla to Amman and Tbilissi (http://www.cbrn.eu).

RIO+20 calls for radical transformation of Management Education

ESSEC Business School answers to the call

Cergy, June 19th 2012 – On June 15th at the RIO+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, the 50+20 initiative unveiled a vision for the transformation of management education, in which the common tenet of being the best in the world is revised in favour of creating businesses that are designed and led to achieve the best for the world. ESSEC Business School is one of the main partner institutions of the initiative.

The RIO+20 vision
In order to create a world where all citizens live well and within the limits of the planet, 50+20 urges action toward a different kind of society with a revised economic framework that is celebrated for its contribution to society and the world. Equally, businesses will need to become intimately involved in this transformation by accepting challenges and responsibilities beyond short-term economic performance.

Given that the very foundations of business and management education are critically examined, the vision concerns business, management and leadership education in general. Stakeholders in this landscape include not only business schools, leadership and executive development programs or corporate universities, but also think tanks, business consultancies and vocational training centers.

Pierre Tapie, Dean and President of ESSEC Business School and former Chairman of the GRLI Board says: "Business schools and Business in general are strongly challenged by the present crisis. Have we prepared the appropriate leaders? Are we preparing the next generation of global leaders able to grasp the present challenges: innovation, common good and sustainability? Here are central questions fiercely debated among Business Schools professors and Deans. The Rio + 20 call is an articulated contribution to these debates, emphasizing their responsibilities towards society as a whole."

ESSEC’s Institute for Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship (ESSEC IIES), in partnership with Deloitte, has become the European network support for the competition— launched by Berkeley—for the French-speaking countries of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The Deloitte Foundation’s mission is to support those who, through their love of entrepreneurship and spirit of innovation, seem capable of effecting deep social changes, and so contributing towards a more socially-cohesive development. The foundation created the Cluster for Social Innovation that supports social entrepreneurship throughout France and thereby plays an active role in the development of novel economic models, adapted to the major environmental and social challenges of the 21st century. It is through this social innovation hub that the Deloitte Foundation joined the Global Social Venture Competition as a strategic partner for the first time this year.

Jean-Pierre Bel, President of the French Senate “There are more entrepreneurs in France than there are companies who can produce the necessary wealth to maintain our social model, a model which is threatened by an aging population and an ever-more costly solidarity system. This widespread concern invites us to identify the bottlenecks to the growth of our SMEs and, of course, to remedy them. The impact of administrative, fiscal and financial obstacles cannot be ignored, however they cannot fully explain the low number of growth-contributing SMEs. In order for our companies to grow, our entrepreneurs must want them to.

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.

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?

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.

Urban-Planning for the 21st Century : ESSEC and publisher Editions de l’Aube launch a new collection Cities and more generally, regional districts, are home to the majority of the population, are the hubs of activity, and collective intelligence, regulate the economy and dictate social interaction norms. However, they can also, on a worldwide level, contribute to increasing economic inequality and become the object of social and political conflict. They are at the heart of some of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. ESSEC’s Urban Economy Chair encourages local public bodies and companies to improve management policies and increase the efficiency of their contractual relationships, by promoting stability and prosperity in cities and districts. ESSEC has therefore decided to join forces with French publisher, Editions de l’Aube, to launch the collection, Villes et Territoires (‘Towns and Districts’) under the direction of Franck Vallérugo.

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...
