About this document
The November-December 2025 issue is dedicated to the graduation ceremony held in Lyon on 3 October in the presence of forty-six faculty members. During the event, the Business Science Institute awarded degrees to twenty-seven new doctors representing thirty different countries and conferred twenty-one Certificates of Research in Business Administration. Alongside numerous updates on the institute's activities and those of its faculty members and alumni, the newsletter shares good news about its communication channels: the YouTube channel has surpassed 2,100 subscribers, with a total of 20,300 views and 10,600 hours of viewing time to date. The president also extends warm congratulations to Professor Lars Meyer-Waarden, who joins the very select group of the world's top two per cent of scientists in the 2025 ranking published by Stanford University, a distinction recognising his research on customer relationships and his more recent work on AI ecosystems and smart technologies; the institute is proud to count him among its faculty. Faculty and alumni research and editorial news, along with communication updates, complete this autumn edition. Links to videos and to the documentary resources made available to the doctoral community are also included. The format combines institutional information, event reports and the promotion of work produced by members of the community.
