EENI Research Principles
Research: Challenges and fundamental principles of EENI
Problem: Research-Education Synergy
Solution:
Research as a pillar of EENI
The six fundamental principles of EENI related to
international business and global ethics research
To fulfil its mission, EENI Global Business School will apply six key principles:
- The research will be focused on international business and
ethics, religions and business.
All research fields, except those related to ethics,
religions and business; must be profitable.
- The results of the research, where possible, benefit to
students, as well as the main players in the international trade value chain (companies, agencies) and global society, as well as to
improve our training programs quality.
- The research cost do not detract
from the quality of education and can not affect
tuition fees.
- A good researcher does not have to be necessarily a good professor
(and vice versa).
- EENI research activity should help to develop its competitive advantages (generating even cost advantages related to
research) and its leadership positioning in the
Global Market.
- Local and regional research should be conducted locally or
regionally, and coordinated directly by EENI Global Business School (1).
(1) For example, research on economic integration strengths in the WAEMU (West African Economic Monetary Union) countries must be conducted by one or more scholars from one of the WAEMU member countries (West Africa): Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo.
However, in these countries, EENI is aware of the difficulty of finding specialised PhD.
In
these cases, EENI will create local/regional research
groups led by a PhD who supports the local research team.

The four major challenges related to facilitating access to research
EENI poses four major challenges related to facilitating
access to research to four segments that have been traditionally
neglected or excluded from research fields and their results:
- SMEs and small organisations related to International Business around the world.
- Women in low and middle-income countries, particularly in Africa and Muslim Countries
- African continent
- Disabled People around the world
For example, the African continent (12% of the world's population)
produces less than 1% of published academic research in the world.
“In Africa, Universities are mainly educational institutions rather
than research institutions. Africa produces less than 1 percent of the total
amount of research generated in the world, placing the continent at the bottom of all regions of the world.” (African
Union)
However, China, India, the United States, Turkey, the United Kingdom or Korea are investing in boosting African research. Recently, Cambridge University has opened a 6 million pound line for joint research in Africa. South Korea invested $ 49.5 million in 2011 to create the Muhimbili Medical University Hospital in Tanzania.
