À propos de ce document
The January 2021 issue opens with the president's new year greetings. After a challenging 2020, the institute looks to 2021 with optimism thanks to the confidence of its students and the support of its professors and administrative team. The year is presented as a series of achievements reinforcing the unique model of a networked international academic organisation devoted to a single DBA programme: the AMBA international accreditation, a fourth place overall and second for innovation in the Dubai DBA global ranking, the successful online International Week with 23 thesis defences and 44 certificates of research, the conference given by Professor Yves Pigneur, the institute's first Doctor Honoris Causa, the opening of a group in Shanghai, the participation of twenty colleagues in the IQSOG and Xerfi video series on facing the COVID-19 crisis, and the partnership with the ARTIREV project. The collection at EMS editions also grew with several individual and collective publications. The issue then details the AMBA accreditation, the reorganisation of programmes from January 2021, the interview of the month, a focus on the German-language Executive DBA, new faculty members, alumni news and the survey on the second lockdown and its aftermath. The greetings close on a message of confidence in a model built on a networked faculty, international campuses and a single doctoral programme.
