Editorial

The past years have brought some significant developments for the research of GSCM-Montpellier Business School. The impact of globalization and internationalization affected stronlgy universities and business schools in France. The Lisbon agenda promotes the creation of a European teaching and research space, and the increasing competitiveness between Business Schools on a national or international level have accelerated the strategic development of the research activity at Montpellier Business School.

Consequently, after three years since its emergence, the main objective for 2005 was to enhance the development of research and publication to confirm and develop the positioning of GSCM amidst the national and European research landscape.

From an organizational viewpoint, the management of the research activity has been improved and research is structured around two main research areas: Entrepreneurship and market dynamics & Information systems management and organizational dynamics.

Against this background, three specific targets have been fixed for 2005:

- Improving the number and quality of publications,

- Continuing to develop strategic alliances with local universities,

- Promoting research by increasing the number of publications in international journals and a stronger participation of our researchers in European and International conferences.
