RESEARCH AT BSB
THE LINCHPIN OF RESEARCH: CEREN
BSB’s mission is to train managers with insight, who can put their owns actions into perspective. In this context, research is a great path to learning as it cultivates critical analysis, structuring reasoning and seeing things from a higher perspective.
The knowledge produced by our research is aimed at the academic community by publishing in the best national and international journals in Management Sciences and Economics, at our students, but also at public and private organizations that wish to be supported in their decision-making and prepared for the upcoming challenges, as well as at civil society, since we consider that the role of our research is to enlighten the public debate.
Since 2003, CEREN, Burgundy School of Business (BSB)’s Corporate Research Center, labelled Équipe d’Accueil by the French directorate general for higher education and professionnal insertion (DGESIP) [Direction Générale de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de l’Insertion Professionnel], brings together the school’s research activities and French and international professors/researchers around six research axes related to Management Sciences and Economics.
