Our strategy

One of the key differentiators chosen by BSB, in a competitive context marked by the volume strategies undertaken by a significant number of players, is the affirmation by the School of its position as a Grande Ecole characterized by the quality of proximity and support for its students.

To achieve this, BSB is deploying a strategy based on 5 pillars - presented at the end of 2022 as part of the UP 2027 plan:

01. The primacy of the student experience
The focus is on a unique and global student experience, thanks to a close relationship, personalized support and innovative devices such as Pathfinder™.

Already recognized by its students as the business school No. 1 where life is good, BSB also wants to be a model of added value between entering and leaving the School.
02. Two campuses: places to live
The Dijon and Lyon campuses are designed to promote student well-being and engagement, with modern and collaborative spaces.

The opening of the new campus in Lyon in 2025 reflects BSB's ambition to assert itself as the second business school in Lyon, and illustrates the desire to offer ever more stimulating environments, adapted to contemporary educational needs, focused on harmony and innovation.
03. Academic excellence and leadership in three areas of expertise
With its triple crown of international accreditation (AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA), BSB is one of the top 1% of business schools in the world.

Its academic excellence is reflected in its international and sector leadership in wine and spirits management, arts and creative industries management, and experimental and behavioural economics.
04. A fully international school
With more than 80 nationalities living side by side on the campuses, the school is continuing to internalise, recruiting international lecturers and welcoming a growing number of foreign students. The intercultural dimension of the school as a whole is being strengthened through a proactive approach.
05. The means to success
BSB is investing in a global transformation to ensure the success of its strategy. This includes organisational change, increased digitalisation and a strong commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

Up 2027

Since 2012, BSB has consistently pursued a strategy of upscaling in terms of academic excellence, differentiation and growth. To continue its momentum, BSB is committed to UP 2027, its new strategic plan for 2022 - 2027.

Our governance

BSB is an autonomous private law entity with a capital of 10,348,000 euros, registered under the name ESC Dijon — Bourgogne at the Dijon RCS under the number 823 945 753.

BSB now has the status of an EESC (consular higher education institution). This status guarantees the reinvestment of all of the establishment's profits. It also allows BSB to benefit from official recognition by the State, greater autonomy in the design of its programs, access to funding and solid partnerships with Chambers of Commerce, thus strengthening national and international credibility.

If BSB's ties with its founding members and its shareholders remain strong, it is now managed by a Management board, in charge of the management of the school and a supervisory board whose mission is to constantly monitor the School. To support management, two steering committees have also been set up:International Advisory Board (IAB) and L'Alumni Advisory Board (AAB).
