2025 marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Business Science Institute as we join the Groupe IGENSIA Education.
This decision to partner with a leading group in the education sector stems from our commitment to securing the long-term future of our networked institution, the Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) programme, and the distinctive nature of our business model, in alignment with the requirements of accreditation bodies.
We have chosen the IGENSIA Education Group because it shares our not-for-profit association structure and offers significant opportunities for the continued development of our DBA programme.
Founded in 1975, the IGENSIA Education Group is a key player in higher education and training, encompassing five core business areas. With a diverse range of over 200 programmes, from undergraduate to postgraduate levels, the Group operates 10 schools across four campuses in France, collaborates with 10,000 partner companies, and engages with 80,000 alumni.
Through this partnership, the Business Science Institute will retain its operational autonomy, including its partners, team, organisational structure, information system, network of professors, and commitment to responsiveness. Moreover, our founding president will continue to drive the business unit within IGENSIA. Moving forward, the Business Science Institute will benefit from the full range of the Group’s support services, particularly in marketing and communications.
This collaboration will enable the Business Science Institute to expand its international reach, furthering the accessibility of our DBA programme. It will also enhance our ability to generate both managerial and societal impact through academic research in management.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year, and long live the DBA – the bridge between management research and the world of practice!
Pr. Michel Kalika
President Business Science Institute
