RESEARCH AT EDC PARIS BUSINESS SCHOOL

RESEARCH POLICY AT EDC PARIS BUSINESS SCHOOL

La première idée, unanimement partagée, consiste à encourager les chercheurs à produire des contributions intellectuelles de plusieurs natures. Les articles dans les meilleures revues disposent naturellement de la place la plus enviable mais les communications dans les congrès, dans les ateliers de travail, l’écriture de cas, de chapitres d’ouvrages, de manuels tiennent également une place dans l’espace de la recherche.

La seconde conviction repose sur la nécessité forte de relier la recherche et la pédagogie, la recherche et les préoccupations des entreprises. De ce double ancrage naît une utilité naturelle des activités de recherche qui se mesure par l’impact produit.

The choice was made to bring the professors together around fields of research directly related to the DIVE pedagogical signature, which is at the heart of the EDC Paris Business School’s identity.

Of course, the professors make contributions in all areas of management, but the cement that unites the team members is intrapreneurship and business development, innovation and digital business models, global performance and entrepreneurship.

The OCRE research laboratory

The OCRE (Entrepreneurial Observatory and Research Centre), set up in 2005 and headed by professor Zied Ftiti, is EDC Paris Business School’s research centre, bringing together all the school’s research professors. It provides the platform for implementing the School’s research policy.

OCRE’s mission is to produce applicable knowledge that will have an academic, practical and pedagogical impact. The academic aspect is expressed by the publication of articles in scientific reviews and communications exchanged within research networks. The practical aspect is illustrated by advances in managerial practice made possible by the presence of researchers in professional contexts. The pedagogical aspect may be seen in the creation of lectures and the inclusion of research results in them.

RESEARCH IS AT THE HEART OF THE SCHOOL’S STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

Our OCRE laboratory, which is operationally managed by the Associate Dean for Research, implements the general research policy and formalises the research areas that can mobilise cross-disciplinary views of issues related to sustainability, sustainable development and social responsibility.

The OCRE’s main missions are to channel research efforts into these 4 areas, to ensure high-quality, high-impact publications, to provide teaching through research and to promote research within the school’s ecosystem (learners, corporate partners, alumni, academic partners, etc.).

The work of the Permanent Faculty is brought to the attention of economic and social partners through the writing of articles, case studies and popular works, by speaking in the media and by participating in professional conferences.

The faculty is increasingly integrating research into its courses, thereby strengthening the link between teaching and research by integrating intellectual contributions (case studies, fieldwork, reports, etc.).
