Information systems, decision sciences and statistics department

The department's expertise focuses on the quantitative and qualitative modeling, management and analysis of data. The department is made up of two complementary divisions:

- Information Systems (IS), which deals with the modeling, development and management of information. In addition to being a business unit in its own right, Information Systems support processes, communication, collaborative work and decision-making in every company.

- Decision sciences and statistics, which deal with the modeling, analysis and interpretation of data specifically for decision-making. Depending on whether or not uncertainty is modeled, the methods and models designed and used are said to be stochastic (statistics, econometrics and forecasting) or deterministic (operational research, decision support, optimization and data mining).

Within ESSEC Business School, the department has three objectives:

• To contribute to basic and applied academic research according to the highest international standards;
