Lab-Center for Competitiveness


 
The Lab-Center for Competitiveness has emerged from the affiliation that Grenoble Ecole de Management has developed since 2009, with the Institute for Strategy & Competitiveness, at Harvard Business School, led by Professor Michael E. Porter.

Its mission is to analyze and promote the determinants of competitiveness and economic development viewed from a bottom up, microeconomic perspective, which represents the dimension where wealth is ultimately created.
It operates both research-driven activities and a pedagogically designed course platform which will be made available for the students of Grenoble Ecole de Management and which will be taught by Harvard affiliate faculty only.

Research focus

The focus of our research mainstreams strategies of firms, the vitality of clusters, and quality of the business environment in which competition takes place. These factors are critical to the creation of a socio-economic agenda, which aims at the sustainability of businesses, nations and societies at large.

The Lab-Center for Competitiveness studies competition and its implications for company strategy, the competitiveness of nations, regions and cities and solutions to social problems.
