The Chair in “Social Economy & Management”

The Chair in "Social Economy and Management"● Created in partnership with leading businesses and

organizations in the sector (AUDIENS, MAIF, FEHAP, ANDESI, CIRIEC France).

● The Chair works on current issues in the social economy, as well as the specificities of management in those businesses.o It provides:

training aimed at social economy employees and designed to strengthen the sense of belonging to their company by means of management mobilisation.

studies and research seminars, in partnership with CIRIEC on the specificities of management in social economy



The origins of the project

In March 2009 the Chair launched a training program on the Social Economy and Management for managers of Social Economy organisations. ● In the past year, there have been 10 such training

programmes, each catering to around fifteen people, i.e. a total of 150 people having attended the training. o From the very first programme, we have witnessed a particularly

high level of attendance at the training classes. o The assessments of participants reveal a strong awareness of

the specificities of social economy businesses and a stronger sense of belonging at the end of the training.



The origins of the project

We are particularly gratified to note that we are tackling key issues regarding the social economy model for economic and social development, in the following contexts:● economic and financial crisis based on the dominant

economic model ● the socio-ecological transition that we have been

observing for some years.



The specificity of management in social economy and the needs for specific training

● We noted that this training programme raises management awareness of:o the merits of the Social Economyo the sense of belonging and pride at belonging to this

sector o the need to develop consistency between everyone's

daily practices as regards the values advocated, the key is therefore to be particularly attentive to individual behaviour

o the essential role of managers in their ability to act as facilitators and intermediaries to encourage employees also to develop an awareness of the importance of the Social Economy and the sense of, and consequently pride in, belonging



The role of management according to Mintzberg

The specificity of management in social economy and the needs for specific training (ctd.)


As a leader, that is as the person who shows the direction, the manager needs to be well aware of the specificities of Social Economy, hence the need for a specific training.

Indeed, most professionals in the field are today recruited based upon their technical skills, and less upon their human skills and the values they are keen on promoting.

Therefore, social economy organisations may be losing the specificities of their culture as they get more ‘professional’ and less ‘militant’, if they don’t give good care to maintaining their culture and values throughout the process.

The addition of a specific management training in social economy appears therefore vital to this professionalization process


The specificity of management in social economy and the needs for specific training (ctd)


The overall objectives of the project

It seems therefore relevant to recommend transferring this on-going training experience to the context of a partnership forming part of the European Leonardo (dissemination) programme

Ahead of this transfer, the objective is to study the common European model for the management of organizations in social economy (référentiel= terms of reference) and to design and develop enhanced training modules



The overall objectives of this initiative

This project is the opportunity to reach the following goals:1. Seminars and publications

o A symposium will be held in France in march 2012 o the opportunity of other seminars should be carried out by the

other partnerso A publication should be considered on « What is management in

the social economy, what are its specificities and how to teach it”

2. Strengthening of the partnershipso Developing activities beyond the Ariadne project



The overall objectives of this initiative

This project is the opportunity to reach the following goals (ctd.):

3. The development of an E learning platform

o A common e-learning platform for 2013/2014

4. Help new members in the European Union to open themselves to social economy

o By the means of innovative training programs
