Objectives and Mission
The Purchasing and Digital Innovation Chair is a group of professors, professionals (companies, consultants) and students interested in the same topic: the digitalization of the purchasing function. Our Chair integrates a strong pedagogical and managerial aspect in the form of multiple interactions between the Chair's partner companies and students.
The Chair has a dedicated team, made up of educator-researchers, a research assistant and a scientific committee (experts), to contribute to a better understanding of the major issues at stake in the management of the purchasing function, through research and training.
Our mission
Our mission is to promote our discipline (Purchasing) and the emerging knowledge that is useful to our partners. We want to be an interface between academia and business, between research and practice. Our role is to facilitate the transfer of knowledge, to promote research and to help partner companies understand the world around them.
Our goal
The objective is twofold: on the one hand, to advance knowledge in the areas covered by the Chair by involving students, professors and companies, and on the other hand, to contribute to the development of companies by drawing on the strength of student proposals or the expertise of the School's professors in carrying out projects. These different actions contribute to the advancement of thinking within the Chair, while achieving pedagogical objectives and practical implications.
