Our research activities cover all traditional areas of management research. Research activities are based on the work of permanent Faculty members. Montpellier Business School’s academics are also part of the LabEx Entreprendre. This LabEx is the only laboratory specialised on this topic in France, within the framework of the call for projects of the “Investments for the Future”.

Our researchers play an important role in the organisation of annual conferences such as the Interdisciplinary European Conference on Entrepreneurship Research (IECER) and the International Finance Conference (IFC), the International Conference of the Financial Engineering and Banking Society (FEBS).

The quality of our Faculty is also shown through various positions on editorial boards or in international academic associations. Dr Rameshwar Dubey for instance was appointed in 2019, senior associate editor of International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management; Dr Cyril Foropon joined end of 2020, the editorial board of the International Journal of Information Management; Dr Paul Chiambaretto is a senior editor of M@n@gement, Dr Frank Lasch acts as consulting editor for International Small Business Journal.
