About this document
Fifth issue of Impact & Knowledge, published in June 2025. The opinion pieces explore transforming models of education and knowledge production, evolving learning formats, the future of work and participatory approaches as enablers of collective intelligence, while an analysis of Apple's history rounds off the collection with a strategic perspective on innovation dynamics and periods of disruption. Two book reviews complete this already rich line-up: the first puts the concept of the extended academic enterprise into perspective as a framework for developing innovative teaching practices, and the second explores the role of trust as the foundation of sustainable management, informed by behavioural sciences and today's organisational challenges. The opening forum is signed by Pierre-Jean Benghozi, emeritus research director at CNRS and professor at the École Polytechnique and member of the faculty, who argues that the DBA is more than just an extension of the MBA: since the creation of MBAs at Harvard in 1908 and Stanford in 1925, it offers a new way of thinking about knowledge creation in management. The issue confirms the publication's purpose, which is to make research work readable for an audience of practitioners as well as academics. Like the other issues of this bimonthly letter, the edition gives the floor to faculty members and alumni in order to make their work accessible to practitioners.
