Welcome to the Management Department


The project of the Management Department is to further teaching and research on human, organizational and strategic challenges in capitalist economies across time and space. The department brings together a great diversity of expertise, which makes it possible to deploy multidisciplinary perspectives with different points of focus – the individual, the group and network, the firm, the organization, markets and institutions.

Teaching objectives and research themes:
• Strategic analysis, decision making and its implementation.
• Innovation and change management
• Human Resource Management: constraints, tools and challenges
• The complexity of the human and social dimensions of economic and organizational activities
• Ethical dilemmas in management situations and the challenges of corporate social responsibility in a complex and globalized world
• The entrepreneurial project in perspective – analysis and action

Chair of Diversity and Performance


With its 3 sponsors : AIR FRANCE, DELOITTE and L’OREAL, the Chair strives to attain a double objective:

To create a centre of expertise on the various aspects of diversity linked to work and to the perspectives of concerned parties. The stakes of Diversity facing firms are, beyond the legal obligations, how the integration of diversity in management practices can be a vector of performance (e.g. making companies and individuals more responsible, creativity, innovation, company reputation).

To offer specialized teaching to about twenty Chair students in order to prepare the managers of tomorrow for the complexity of the situations they will have to deal with.
