At PSM Paris, research is not confined to the faculty — it’s an integral part of the student learning experience. We believe that active participation in research develops critical thinking, analytical skills, and creativity — essential qualities for future business leaders.
All MBA, Executive MBA, and DBA students engage in individual or group research projects, exploring real-world business challenges under the guidance of experienced academic mentors. These projects often take the form of theses, applied research papers, or consulting reports, bridging academic knowledge with industry application.
Students are encouraged to select research topics that align with their professional goals and PSM Paris’s research priorities — such as leadership, sustainability, entrepreneurship, innovation, finance, and digital transformation. This ensures that every project delivers both personal relevance and academic value.
To support excellence, PSM Paris provides access to online research databases, workshops on research methods, and personalized mentoring from faculty advisors. Outstanding projects are recognized annually during the PSM Research Showcase, where students present their findings to peers, faculty, and industry representatives.
Through research, students at PSM Paris learn not just to analyze problems, but to create solutions that matter. This hands-on approach prepares them to lead with insight, integrity, and innovation in a rapidly evolving business world.
