About this document
The September-October 2025 issue highlights the FNEGE 2025 Doctoral Thesis Observatory, which reflects the strong momentum of DBAs: the Business Science Institute, in partnership with the iaelyon School of Management, takes first place with thirty-eight theses defended in 2024. The issue also features an important international development, with the signing on 25 August of a partnership agreement with the Faculty of Economics and Business at the American University of Science and Technology in Beirut, Lebanon; the new cohort will be coordinated by professors Antoine Harfouche and Michel Kalika. Finally, the edition illustrates the energy and commitment of the alumni community: in Switzerland, a new association has been created to showcase the expertise of doctors and doctoral candidates in supporting local businesses through training, seminars and applied projects, while other alumni share their career paths and distinctions, confirming the growing role of the DBA as a driver of academic, professional and societal impact. Faculty research and editorial news complete the issue. As every month, the edition closes with faculty publications, videos and a selection of news from management research. The issue follows the familiar structure of the monthly letter: the president's foreword, programme news, campus life and contributions from the community. It addresses doctoral managers, doctors and the professors of the network, as well as managers considering the doctoral programme.
