About this document
The October-November 2024 issue reviews the autumn International Week, held from 24 to 27 September at the iaelyon School of Management of Université Jean Moulin. The event featured twenty-two Executive DBA thesis defences, nineteen doctoral students completing the Certificate of Research in Business Administration and three managerial impact awards. Attendees took part in workshops, in discussions between faculty members and doctoral students, and in presentations from alumni, and the week culminated in the awarding of the title of Doctor Honoris Causa to two distinguished individuals. It brought together around sixty doctoral student-managers from thirty different countries, some thirty alumni and more than seventy faculty members. The president describes three intense and enriching days and considers that the success of the doctoral student-managers, together with the influence of alumni and faculty, demonstrates the relevance of the institute's initiatives and the impact it continues to generate. The issue then presents the three managerial impact prize winners, the DBA Impact(s) webinars and faculty scientific and editorial news. Held for the first time on the Lyon campus, the week also confirmed the shift of the institute's flagship event from Luxembourg towards its French academic partner. It addresses doctoral managers, doctors and the professors of the network, as well as managers considering the doctoral programme.
