Institute of Purchasing and Supply Chain Management
This institute oversees Audencia's specialised Mastère programme in international purchasing and supply while also conducting research into the area.
It is home to three associated activities:
- Teaching: particularly the Mastère programme and executive education.
- Research: examination of key preoccupations for companies resulting in the publication of articles, theses, communications in international scientific revues, etc.
- Nurturing the partner company network: organisation of themed seminars, studies into contemporary purchasing and supply chain issues, etc
Quality partners
The institute has established ongoing partnerships with high-profile organisations and companies. Airbus and Saunier-Duval, France's biggest supplier of heating and domestic hot water equipment, are both active in the institute. An exclusive agreement with the CDAF (France's society of managers and buyers) also allows the institute to be an integral part of a far-reaching purchasing and supply network. In this way, students following the Mastère have the possibility of taking free membership of the CDAF and to being kept informed of all its activities.
