S&O INCLUSIVE ECONOMY DAY 2023

The Inclusive Economy Center at the S&O Institute of HEC Paris is very pleased to invite you to the first edition of the Inclusive Economy Day on April 13, 2023 on HEC campus, Z building, all day long.

Management scholars and practitioners are invited to join us for a series of discussions exploring the latest research at the intersection of management, social issues, inequalities and impact. Academics will present original research on building inclusive workplaces, inclusion and entrepreneurship, corporate responses to the refugee and forced migration crisis, delivery of essential services to disadvantaged groups, enriched by diverse practitioners’ perspectives. We will also break out in small group discussions to explore how experimental research could help real-world organizations address concrete social challenges.
