About this document
The December 2016 issue opens with a visual retrospective of the seminars held in Paris and Luxembourg, showing the doctoral student-managers with their professors: the fourth seminar of the first Paris cohort with Jean-François Lemoine, Sébastien Point, Nathalie Mitev and Isabelle Walsh, and a session of the second Luxembourg cohort with Nicolas Poussing. The newsletter introduces Sylvain Charlebois as a new member of the Scientific Council: director of the School of Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax, he is one of Canada's foremost experts in agri-food policy and food security, holds a doctorate in marketing from Sherbrooke University and has twice won the International Emerald Literati Prize. The zoom section celebrates SKEMA Business School, which has just obtained AMBA accreditation and joined the very selective club of business schools holding EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA, with 8,000 students on six international campuses; SKEMA and the Business Science Institute have partnered to create the Digital DBA, allowing practising managers to prepare a doctorate remotely, and the institute expresses its pride in its partner's success. The issue also reports that Jean-Pierre Boissin, member of the Scientific Council, professor at Grenoble IAE and interministerial coordinator of the PEPITE national plan for student entrepreneurship, has received the insignia of Chevalier in the French National Order of Merit.
