'Crèdit Andorrà' Chair of Markets, Organizations and Humanism

The “Crèdit Andorrà” Chair of Markets, Organizations and Humanism was created with the goal of contributing to improving understanding of markets and organizations as methods of coordinating human activity from a humanist standpoint, in part taking the work of professor Pérez López as a point of reference. It will also try to examine the current situation in Andorra to learn more about the status of companies in this country and uncover their needs and thus their possibilities for improving. It further aims to foster the education and training of business people and executives in Andorra and other countries to ensure that they perform their duties properly.

The Chair also aims to spread its studies and knowledge through the general media, specialized journals, and academic forums. The joint work of the group of professors and researchers associated with the Chair will be vital when publishing these studies in books, leaflets, and other publishing formats.

The Chair’s research projects revolve around the following axes:

1. Undertaking studies related to the mission, vision, governance, and values of organizations.

2. Performing empirical research and case studies on the current status of Andorran companies in both the public and private sector in relation to:

- Financial structure and information systems

- Relationship marketing

- Transactions and management of people

- Strategy and human structure of organizations

- Economic, institutional, and social setting 

The goal is to attempt to identify the possible shortcomings and challenges that the future has in store for Andorra and its institutions. 

As a whole, the research undertaken from this Chair aims to be at once theoretical and practical and to help to systematically find out the status of companies and other institutions in the country.

The “Crèdit Andorrà” Chair of Markets, Organizations, and Humanism is led by professor Josep Maria Rosanas, Doctor in Industrial Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, PhD in Management from Northwestern University and MBA from IESE. Rosanas has an extensive teaching career as an IESE professor since 1971 and as a full professor at Pompeu Fabra University between 1990 and 1994.

Rosanas is the author of a number of books and scientific articles and numerous publications about business management, accounting, inflation, and planning systems, among other subjects. He has also participated in consulting projects in companies, mainly in the areas of management control and organization.

• Josep Maria Rosanas, professor at IESE and holder of the Chair.

• Cosimo Chiesa, professor at IESE, associate of the Chair.

• Víctor Pou, professor at IESE, associate of the Chair.

Parallel to its research activities, the Chair periodically organizes continuing education sessions, seminars, focused programs, and debate forums in both Andorra and Barcelona.
