Centre of Research for Innovation and Intelligence in Management.

The CERIIM (Centre of Research for Innovation and Intelligence in Management), beyond traditional managerial themes (strategy, finance, marketing, human resources, supply chain), focusses on 3 specific areas of research which correspond to the expertise of our Faculty and the Group’s positioning, as well as being intrinsically linked to the School’s mission.
The CERIIM (Centre of Research for Innovation and Intelligence in Management), beyond traditional management themes (strategy, finance, marketing, HR, supply chain), focusses on 3 specific areas of research which correspond to the expertise of our Faculty and the group’s positioning, as well as being intrinsically linked to the school’s mission.
There is an area of academic freedom for contributions from Faculty whose works, for various reasons, do not fall into one of our three specific areas of research. This does not constitute another area of research but is a category referred to as ‘Concepts and Practices in Management’.
Our 3 key research areas aim to encourage all forms of intellectual contribution and to raise Excelia’s profile and reputation in the research arena.

Our Institutes strengthen their links with companies and organisations by delivering added value and, where appropriate, benefitting in return from resources and opportunities for experimentation.
The CERIIM holds regular meetings, during which invited researchers present their work and research methodology.
Research policy is determined in close collaboration with the members of the Research Advisory Board, which is composed of prominent national and international figures from the world of research.
The Research Advisory Board examines and evaluates the research strategy as well as the appropriate organisation for its implementation. It advises on the future development of research activity, the development of international collaboration, and the strengthening of links with companies. It ensures the coherence of research policy and, in this capacity, advises on the main research themes and on the guidelines for evaluating both the quality of research and the researchers themselves.
The Research Advisory Board meets twice a year.
