At ESSCA, we believe that knowledge is a fundamental source of freedom and thought, and that our role is to enable this knowledge to overcome academic barriers and reach a wide audience. Here you will find the best of our research in a form that is accessible and understandable to as many people as possible, in both English and French. You will find all the ESSCA research topics: economics, law, society, finance, accounting, management control, marketing, trade, operations management, decision sciences, organisation, management, human resources, strategy, entrepreneurship and international business. These disciplines are our main areas of research.

All our research implicitly pursues a common goal: to embed management practices in a sense of social responsibility that permeates the company at all levels, both at the top and at the heart of each employee. Our multidisciplinary research institutes, specialising in Europe-Asia relations, family businesses, transport and sustainable mobility, digital transformation, artificial intelligence for sustainability, ethical fashion and eco-consumption, thus carry with them strong values and research projects oriented towards the major concerns of our century: the fight against global warming, energy and digital transitions and, more broadly, the geopolitical issues that companies are already facing and that we must support as closely as possible.

Research has the virtue of being free of any ideology: only rigour and the search for explanations guide the scientific approach. This is why the articles you will find here guarantee reliable, verified and proven information. Research is based on research; this is how science works.
