The GSCM pursues an active research and its research center (Centre des Etudes et de la Recherche sur les Organisation et le Management, CEROM) promotes a spirit of enterprising research, facilitates research based teaching and fosters the valorization of research for practice and teaching. The central role given to research in the GSCM-Montpellier Business School (GSCM) development strategy resulted in a continuous improvement of the academic level of the faculty (PhD & habilitation policy and incentives), internationalization of research activities, and quantitative & qualitative progress of scientific production.

The central mission of the research center is to drive and structure the research activity of the GSCM faculty. Considering intellectual contributions as a core responsibility of a business school, a total of 315 publications (180 articles, 27 books, and 108 book chapters) were produced since 2004. The annual number of peer reviewed journal articles (PRJ) quadrupled in less than six years attaining in 2009 the highest score of 44 accepted papers placing GSCM amongst the most performing French business schools. The high level of achievement of the GSCM faculty in these past five years is demonstrated by publication in top ranked journals, paper presentations in internationally recognized conferences, organization of conferences and workshops of European scope, and numerous awards of excellence.

This annual report presents the research activity and the main achievements of the GSCM faculty in 2009.
