A medal was awarded to Michel Kalika for his work  “L’impact de la crise sur le management” (The impact of the crisis on management), published last October (EMS) and structured around four chapters: Impact of the crisis: conclusions of the research of the Business Science Institute; Impact of the crisis on management in the health sector; Impact of the crisis on management thought; Impact of the crisis on managerial decisions.


Comments from the jury:

“This work is of an excellent theoretical and practical level, which is rare.

It is a collective work carried out since the start of the health crisis thanks to the network of the Business Science Institute. Will managerial thinking be the same after one or two years of lockdowns?

The chapters are short but go to the quintessence of the problems, with recommendations to help managers rethink their way to tackling problems with which they are confronted on a daily basis.

The strength of the network of the Business Science Institute is its versatility and its responsiveness.

This work shows us what could potentially be long term managerial evolutions.”
