The Management Institute of Paris has just entered a partnership agreement with EDHEC Business School.

MIP was founded by Bruno Bich (BIC), Martin Bouygues (Bouygues) and Claude Bébéar (Axa) in Paris in 2000. Under the presidency of Marc Odendall and the management of Benoît Arnaud, MIP has primarily focused on in-house executive education (over 10,000 managers trained). It also offers an MBA (Executive and Global) and a post-high school programme over five years, with both these programmes currently concerning a small number of students.

Olivier Oger, Dean of EDHEC Business School and Benoit Arnaud, Dean of MIP, underline that this partnership is an opportunity for the two entities to strengthen their academic programmes, their Executive Education activities and their links with large corporations in Paris, especially via EDHEC's strategy of delivering training and producing research that have a real impact on businesses.

The partnership between the two institutions will be accompanied...

Monique Valcour and Valérie Petit were heard by France’s Senate Law Commission on 15 June during the vote on the bill to promote equal representation for women on company boards and professional equality.
They pointed out that most management and corporate governance research into the composition of boards of directors and management committees underlines the benefits of increased female representation, whether in terms of professional equality, business performance or good governance (transparency, control of management teams, board meeting attendance rates, etc.). 
According to Valérie Petit, Associate Dean of the EDHEC Leadership & Corporate Governance Research Centre, the scientific literature shows that the law is justified purely in terms of better business management, a factor that is not necessarily emphasised enough by the legislator. Several items of research, notably those undertaken by Kanter (1977), have also underlined the importance of significant – and not...

Certains diplômés occupant aujourd'hui un poste de direction générale ou équivalent avaient participé l'année dernière à une étude intitulée « Le droit et ses praticiens vus par les dirigeants ». Cette étude avait été menée dans le cadre d'un partnariat entre le Centre de recherche LegalEdhec et le Business & Legal Forum, prestigieux évènement dont la première édition s'est tenue en octobre 2009. A cette occasion, les résultats de l'étude avaient été présentés en présence de Bruno de Pampelonne.

Le Centre de recherche LegalEdhec et le Business & Legal Forum ont décidé de mener une nouvelle étude dont les résultats seront présentés à l'occasion de la deuxième édition du Forum qui se tiendra les 17 et 18 novembre 2010 à Paris. Cette étude portera sur « La perception du droit et des juristes par les managers ». Outre les diplômés Edhec concernés, seront mis à contribution les réseaux des anciens d'HEC et du Collège d'Europe.

EDHEC Business School continues its development with the ambition to become internationally recognized as a leading European institution in management research and education. The School has chosen to give itself the means of achieving this ambition, by opening, for instance, two new campuses, one in Lille and the other in Nice.

But the School will not be stopping there! It intends keeping up this momentum through an audacious development programme focusing on four major projects:

- Doubling financial aid to students to encourage diversity in student profiles.

The School needs all of us to help in funding its future development. Together, through our donations, let’s contribute to realizing this ambition for EDHEC to impact throughout...

EDHEC-Risk Institute and Rothschild have announced the creation of a research chair entitled ‘The
Case for Inflation-Linked Corporate Bonds: Issuers’ and Investors’ Perspectives’. The purpose of the
research chair is to support research undertaken at EDHEC-Risk Institute on the benefits of inflationlinked
corporate bonds both from the issuers’ as well as from the investors’ points of view. The chair
will also focus on contrasting the analysis, in corporate finance, and perceptions of inflation-linked
corporate bonds both by issuers and investors. The chair is led by Lionel Martellini, scientific director
of EDHEC-Risk Institute.
According to Professor Martellini, “While a dominant fraction of inflation-linked debt is issued by
sovereign states, there has been recent interest amongst various state-owned agencies, municipalities
and also corporations, in particular from the utility, financial-services and real estate sectors, to issue
inflation-linked bonds. On the supply side,...
