À propos de ce document
The April 2017 issue opens with the study on the uses and effects of information and communication technologies, inviting readers to answer a questionnaire on the tools their organisations provide, from e-mail to knowledge-sharing platforms and social networks, in order to evaluate their effects from the users' point of view; answers are anonymous and respondents may request the results. The newsletter then announces a new partnership agreement signed by Siqin Yu, executive deputy dean and doctoral supervisor at Shanghai Maritime University, and Professor Michel Kalika, for a Business Science Institute Executive DBA in Shanghai. It also celebrates a doctor of the institute elected in Switzerland: Frédéric Favre, from the liberal-radical party, was elected to the State Council of the canton of Valais and became a minister, with links to his portrait and to press coverage. The agenda lists the seminars of the month: in Paris, the sixth seminar of the first cohort on 7 April and Thematic Paradigm I for the second cohort from 6 to 8 April; in Geneva, Thematic Paradigm II for the fourth cohort from 20 to 22 April; and in Luxembourg, a follow-up seminar for the first two cohorts on 26 April. The issue closes by introducing a new member of the Scientific Council.
