A few words from
Oliver Badot
Scientific Director
Oliver Badot
Scientific Director
“Our goal is to create the business of tomorrow; now called the business movement 4.0. It is “fast” business which mixes cross-channel, business via social networks (“hashtag business") and also all collaborative business. Consumers are becoming sellers, logisticians, producers. Value chains are changing. Ecosystems and physical stores are changing dramatically. We see the drive in hypermarkets, but also the "phygital": a mixture of physical and digital. All these changes, both under the influence of Internet culture, new beliefs and new ways of seeing the world, short channels and disintermediation, significantly impact retail distribution. Our first goal is to be a partner with an expert company on these issues. The second objective is to stimulate and foster high level retail vocations in business schools.”

And Scientific Director of the Chair

the promotion of

A forward-looking vision of business and the retail industry
The creation of this Chair reflects a common will to escape from a traditional view of retail distribution, to move forwards and build the history and professions of the future of the retail industry, e-commerce and business 4.0.
In-depth discussions on key themes
The Chair gives a certain distance on short-term issues so as to have a better view of more structural aspects of future business and retail distribution. It will analyse the basic issues affecting the business and retail distribution sector as a whole, in order to structure forward-looking thought on certain key themes of company 4.0
