Created in janvier 2007,in collaboration with Lille 2 University (LERADP laboratory), the ‘Research Group - Economic Management and Administration and Business Strategy’ (GREGEMESE), is made up of permanent and visiting teacher-researchers from the ESAM and Lille 2 University.

Its objective is to valorize the research work out by the teaching staff in the Paris, Lyon and Toulouse schools and to be a space for building up special contacts with business.The GREGEMESE is also there to validate the ESAM teaching goals by developing applied research in Administration and Management as well as teaching aids.

The activities of the GREGEMESE are articulated around the centers for skills and research run by teacher-researchers (permanent and visiting), under the direction of the Research Director:

• COMPANY MANAGEMENT AND FINANCE
• COMPANY ADMINISTRATION AND ORGANISATION
• LEGAL MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

To define its priorities for work and research, the GREGEMESE receives recommendations from the ESAM Scientific Advisory Board.

The objectives of the research carried out in the GREGEMESE are to develop knowledge in management sciences, organization and company management by carrying out fundamental and applied research.

The ‘scientific production’ of the GREGEMESE should actively contribute to the academic life of the ESAM and will result in research papers, documents, organization and participation in symposiums and conferences, teaching techniques…

The work will be published under the title ‘ESAM Research Papers’.

The research work carried out by GREGEMESE is the foundation stone of the new ideas and knowledge dispensed at the ESAM, whether in standard, sandwich course or life-long training.

Furthermore, the GREGEMESE intends to develop collaborations with businesses and other organisations in its field, in order to develop entrepreneurial and managerial practices from experimental work and assessment activities.
