The Dean's Editorial

The faculty is central to knowledge creation and dissemination at HEC. Our 110 permanent professors (over half are from outside France) work on internationally acclaimed research in most of the major disciplines of management, reflecting the diversity of thought and cultures, the open-mindedness and the exacting intellectual standards promoted at HEC.

The permanent faculty is reinforced by 85 affiliate professors bringing their academic and professional skills to HEC's students and program participants, and more than fifty visiting professors each year who come to teach and carry out research alongside HEC's own professors.

All these professors enhance HEC's courses and programs through their research work, original teaching materials, and personal interaction with the business world; they contribute to corporate reflection on management issues and are involved in national and international scientific community debates.

You will find the principal information on HEC faculty on this site:

• People: details of permanent professors, affiliate professors, emeritus professors, and researchers;
• Structures: departments, research centres and laboratories, chairs, etc;
• Centres of interest and key research themes: what are HEC's professor/researchers currently working on?
• Output: articles, books, teaching materials, including written documents (recherche@hec) and videos designed to make academic research accessible to as broad an audience as possible;
• Intellectual life: seminars, conferences, research workshops, visits by foreign professors, posts vacant, etc.

We hope this site will offer easier access to HEC faculty research work, develop communication between researchers, and facilitate relations between researchers and non-researchers.
