The chairs bring ESSEC into close collaboration with companies keen to develop innovative skills in their sector. Placed under the responsibility of members of the faculty body, each chair has an objective to produce new knowledge, develop science and management practice confronted with the new challenges of the international environment, and to create a flow of data and market analyses. 

The tracks are part of the Master program curriculum and are placed under the responsibility of members of the faculty body. Courses allow students to study an academic field in greater depth or explore the full complexity of a business sector.
