The Business Science Institute places ethics at the heart of its operations. This page helps you understand our commitments and allows you to contact us confidentially if you observe any breach of our principles.

Our ethical commitment

The management and teaching team at the Business Science Institute is deeply committed to ethical values.

This commitment is reflected in our daily practices and guides all of our interactions with applicants, doctoral students, and members of our academic community :

• The institution strictly prohibits soliciting or accepting any gifts or favors from applicants and doctoral students. This principle ensures the integrity of our relationships and the transparency of our processes.
• The awarding of the Executive Doctorate of Business Administration, as well as the Certificate of Research in Business Administration, remains entirely independent of tuition fee payment. Academic quality is the sole evaluation criterion.
• The Executive DBA is essentially based on personal written reflection work. Compliance with rules regarding citations and plagiarism is mandatory. The content of dissertations is systematically verified using plagiarism detection software.

To learn more about the issues surrounding scientific plagiarism, you can consult the resources provided by the University of Geneva: Responsable.
