I am very pleased to present you the summer edition of the PSB Research Lab Newsletter. 

In this issue we focus on the outstanding international workshops and conferences hosted by Paris School of Business and organized with partner institutions during the spring term, thanks to the active engagement and enthusiasm of our researchers. 

These events were an opportunity for distinguished keynote speakers, researchers, colleagues, editors of prestigious international academic journals and practitioners representing renowned French and international institutions to come together.

They provided a wonderful opportunity to debate on challenging research questions in management, innovation ecosystems, marketing, banks and financial markets, energy, climate change and sustainability and on their practical relevance in relation to trending topics. 

We are grateful to PBS Research Lab members for their energy and commitment to carrying out these successful research projects. 

Enjoy reading the Newsletter and make sure you watch the videos to learn more about these stimulating events! 

We wish you a relaxing summer break!

The objective of the roundtable was to mobilize multidisciplinary skills and expertise to encourage research in this nascent field of exploration. 

The discussions evolved around the challenges of patient participation, as well as the success factors for sharing their experiential knowledge. 

On this occasion we hosted researchers in marketing and management, patients and practitioners involved in optimizing the patient experience as well as stakeholders willing to be involved in the development of a holistic approach to the patient experience. 

This lively debate aimed to contribute to the common understanding between researchers, patients, professionals, and stakeholders regarding the need to establish a continuous dialogue.    

The workshop was organized in partnership with the MOSAIC research group of HEC Montréal and under the patronage of the EURAM Strategic Interest Group on Innovation (European Academy of Management - SIG). 

Based on the recently published book “Open Labs and Innovation Management” (Routledge, 2023) distinguished guest speakers and co-authors brought up the results of rigorous research on the originality of open labs, the dynamics of their development and their multifaceted contributions to the management of innovation and creativity. 

While being particularly relevant for academics and researchers in the fields of innovation studies and management sciences, the workshop also provided important guidance for teaching, policy making and professional practice.  

For this second edition, the workshop was attended by scholars who presented their latest research findings, provided insights into current trends and developments, and received feedback from their peers. 

The discussions covered a wide range of themes, including topics such as bank behavior, the performance of banks, and impacts of policies on banks and financial markets, among others. 

The workshop was designed for scholars in the field of finance and economics to provide timely and relevant insights into the topic and foster collaboration among researchers. It also provided practitioners an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of major issues in banking and financial markets based on rigorous scientific analysis. 

On this occasion we hosted researchers from major European universities as well as senior analysts and economists from central banks.

Paris School of Business, together with the University of Naples Parthenope launched the first edition of the International Conference on Digital Transformation Society – DTS 2023. 

The Conference provided researchers with the opportunity to present the results of their studies on various dimensions of digital transformation. More than 25 insightful presentations by scholars from different countries were debated during this first edition. We also had the pleasure of welcoming the editors of the Technological and Forecasting Social Change Journal and the Journal of Innovation Economics & Management. 

The major aim of the Conference was to provide international scholars from the field of Management the occasion to meet to discuss this key topic. It also provided practitioners an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of how digital transformation impacts business and society, based on rigorous scientific analysis. 

Watch out for the upcoming call for papers and join us at the Parthenope University in Naples, on 24 May 2024, for the next edition!  

The Center of Research for Energy and Climate Change (CRECC) launched the first Energy and Sustainability Day with an enlightening debate on the impact of environment related policy measures on energy transition. 

The aim of this event was to engage the conversation between pioneering experts and the researchers exploring challenging current issues regarding the sustainable energy transition. 

The next editions of the Energy and Sustainability Day will continue to bring together the international research community from finance and economics. While fostering a rigorous and multidisciplinary research agenda, the objective is to raise public awareness of climate change and to support robust environmental policies.  

The workshop was jointly organized by Audencia Business School, Paris School of Business, University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and the University of Geneva. 

The event provides academics, and practitioners with a valuable forum for discussion and critical analysis of the major issues and challenges linked to Energy, Environment, Sustainability, Social transition, Economics, and Finance. 

This first workshop resulted in insightful discussions on the way financial policies and investments could support a sustainable energy transition. 

PSB and its partners aim to develop a fully-fledged and multidisciplinary research programme on climate change and sustainable finance for energy transition. Based on robust scientific work, the objective is to create multiple research projects that have relevance for policy makers, practitioners, and wider society. 

In collaboration with the Cadi Ayyad University (Morrocco) and "Dunarea de Jos" University of Galati (Romania), PSB recently launched the 1^st edition of the International Conference on Customer Experience & Marketing.
