Chairs

Research Chairs are essential and important for developing research on specific topics. Through partnerships with private and public actors, Audencia Business School plays a major role in the development of research-action in CSR. Research of this kind directly related to on-the-ground realities contributes to the development of managerial tools and concepts, the emergence of new CSR theories and models and the development of new case studies, allowing us to provide instruction close to managerial realities.
