DRM (CNRS mixed research unit no. 7088) was established on 1 January 2005 and is one of France’s largest management science research centres. It covers marketing, strategy, finance, organisational theory, human resources management, information systems and innovation, as well as accounting and auditing.
DRM is a generalist research laboratory that is built on diversity, both in terms of its theoretical roots and the issues it covers and its quantitative and/or qualitative methods. The academic strategy currently being pursued is to strengthen DRM as a management science research unit of the highest standards. The department also contributes to the strategic positioning of Université Paris-Dauphine, with a focus on the organisational sciences.
Since January 2023 the laboratory has been run by Gwenaëlle Nogatchewsky, Professor at Université de Paris Dauphine - PSL and Eva Delacroix, Associate Professor at Université de Paris Dauphine - PSL.
The activities of DRM are structured around 3 units offering 5 research programmes:
- Finance unit, which runs a research programme in finance. Head: Jérôme Dugast
- Marketing unit, which runs a programme on marketing strategy (ERMES). Head: Valérie Guillard and Dina Rasolofoarison
- Organisation unit, which runs the following research programmes:
- Management and Organisation (M&O). Head: Fabien Blanchot
- Critical management studies (MOST: Markets – Organisations – Societies – Technologies). Head: Véronique Perret
- Innovation-MLab. Head: Albéric Tellier, co-responsable : Anaïs Boutru
The life of the department is also structured around cross-disciplinary activities run by official bodies (5 chairs, 2 circles, 2 initiatives and 3 centres) and since 2011 has benefited from a research support tool in the form of an innovative experimental laboratory.
