The Academic Award of Research in Management from Syntec Conseil and FNEGE rewards the best research publications in four categories, as well as the best management book of the year.
This award has become a reference in the academic world, acclaimed by researchers in management sciences who consider it as a real opportunity to promote their work with the business world and to develop their notoriety. The 13th edition of the award ceremony took place at Neoma Business School on June 2, 2022.
In their paper, “How Orange Achieved Long-Term Adaptability and Value Creation by Proactively Transforming its Business”, published in MIS Quarterly Executive in March 2021, Shirish C. Srivastava, Joseph Nehme, Alban Luherne and Bruno Kone have studied how Orange evolved business in Africa, and then in France, by adapting its business to the changing technological environment continuously over the last two decades. In the process, quite a few lessons are abstracted for other businesses.
