EDEN calls to everyone’s mind the garden of earthly delights to which the Book of Genesis refers. It evokes the attractive and creative environment that EIASM offers to young promising scholars who undertake the exciting doctoral adventure.
Through the creation of EDEN, EIASM will contribute to the most critical phases in a scholar’s life cycle : i.e. his/her introduction to and early growth on the academic market. Thanks to its unique image and its organizational competitive advantages (core of associations, autonomy and flexibility), EIASM can indeed be very efficient at :

• inserting young doctoral fellows into a highly stimulating system where European researchers can interact (within and across associations), sharing common objectives and concerns ;
• helping them in the positioning of their own work in relation to European research generally : expose them to various research traditions and orientations, open their minds to the international/global perspectives to be adopted when looking at the Management environment, make them aware of the challenges Management is facing in Europe (globalization, new technologies, etc.) ;
• creating a network of European educators active at the doctoral level in Management.

The programme in Organizational Behavior / Strategic Management will include seminars on the following topics :

• Strategic Design of Organization and Innovation
• International Management
• Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management
• Entrepreneurship Research
• Organizational Design
• Economics of Information
• Strategic Management
• Competitive Strategy

This seminar is aimed at doctoral students of non-profit organisation and management.

This seminar will

• offer doctoral students an intensive tutorial in field-defining studies and methodologies
• provide students with a supportive forum for the presentation of their own studies and methodologies
• contribute to the ongoing institutionalisation of this emerging field, both through the seminar itself and through the subsequent development of a network of scholars in nonprofit organisation and management studies

The seminar will be held at the EIASM, Brussels.
The programme will start on October 30, 2006 and is scheduled to end November 3, 2006
