Stephan BOURCIEU

Stephan BOURCIEU serves as an Associate Professor and Dean at Burgundy School of Business (BSB), where he leads the Management, Strategy and Entrepreneurship Department. His academic work focuses on institutional entrepreneurship, business models, and international trade dynamics, with particular expertise in French educational models, wine industry management, and sustainable business practices. As Dean, he plays a strategic leadership role in shaping the institution's academic direction and partnerships.

Professor BOURCIEU's research spans multiple critical areas of contemporary business and management. His work on entrepreneurship and innovation examines institutional barriers to social innovation diffusion, particularly in alternative finance models like micro-equity. His analysis of low-cost business strategies explores how this model has evolved beyond economic downturns to become a dominant paradigm. In international business, he investigates French export challenges and competitiveness issues, while his wine management research connects business strategy with regional development in the viticulture sector. His recent publications increasingly address sustainability, reflecting his active engagement in the school's sustainability initiatives through the Rencontres du Développement Durable (Sustainable Development Meetings).

His extensive publication record since 2007 demonstrates consistent scholarly output across academic journals, professional publications, and major French media outlets including Le Monde, Le Figaro, and Les Échos. His recent work (2023-2025) shows a clear trend toward policy-relevant research on French educational models, sustainability challenges, and institutional responses to global economic shifts. Rather than focusing narrowly on theoretical contributions, his publications consistently address practical business challenges and policy implications, reflecting his commitment to actionable knowledge.

As Dean of BSB, Professor BOURCIEU actively participates in institutional strategy development and represents the school in various national and international forums. His leadership extends to coordinating major initiatives like the Sustainable Development Meetings and contributing to European research projects including Horizon Europe GLAMMONS, REVINE, and PrimeWater. Through his media contributions and policy commentary, he serves as a bridge between academic research and public discourse on business education, economic policy, and sustainable development.
