About this document
The March 2018 issue sets out the timeline of the cohorts: Thematic Paradigm I for the fifth Dakar cohort from 9 to 11 March, the same seminar for the third Paris cohort from 15 to 17 March, and the first seminar on managing the Executive DBA thesis for the new Douala cohort from 29 to 31 March. The visual retrospective shows the six student-managers of the first German-speaking Luxembourg cohort during their Thematic Paradigm II seminar in February with professors Michel Kalika, Thomas Gergen, Christoph Barmeyer and Ewald Eisenberg, and the six students of the second Paris cohort during their quantitative methodology seminar with Nicolas Poussing and Pierre-Louis Dubois. The main announcement is the arrival of a Quality and Accreditation Manager: Stephen Platt, born in England and holder of an MBA from the UCL Institute of Education, has worked in higher education since 1990 and has held a 360-degree range of positions, from professor to director of continuing education, international affairs, accreditations and programmes, and finally managing director of a French business school; alongside creating his company The Academic Translator, he joins the institute to bring his expertise in quality assurance, completing the existing organisation. The issue also features a zoom on Aurélie Dudézert, an exhibition opening, videos, publications, a piece on the 21st century leader and news from management research.
