Biography

Ghislain Deslandes, DBA, Ph. D. in philosophy, is Associate Professor at ESCP Europe (Paris Campus) and Academic Director of the Specialized Master programme in Media Management.

A graduate of ESCP Europe's Media MS (class of 1994), he started his career in the press, with Les Echos - a daily -, before his nomination as chief editor of Diginews, a publisher of CD-Roms and digital news media. He then was associate director of Coplanet (a Web Agency within the Fi System Group) during 5 years, counselling such groups as Alsthom, Vivendi Havas Publishing, Société Générale, Bertelsmann and Sanofi-Aventis as to their online strategies. Lastly, he became chief internet editor for EMAP (now Mondadori France) and CEO of Worldex Media, a publisher in the professional press, from 2003 to late 2007.

In 2000, he obtained a Ph.D. in philosophy from Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne. His thesis draws a comparative analysis of Kierkegaard and Pascal's philosophies. He then got a DBA from Université Paris Dauphine, which deals with the concept of organizational identity in communication business. In 2011, he participated to the ITP (International Business Program) at Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. Then he did his Habilitation (HDR, French post-doctoral qualification for Ph.D. Supervisor) at the Paris Dauphine University. His Dissertation was entitled: Nosce te ipsum : Identité, Ethique et Management.

From 1995 to 2005, he was also publisher and member of the editorial board of La Voix du Regard a journal focused on semiotics and visual arts affiliated to the Ecole Normale Supérieure (Fontenay St-Cloud).

At ESCP Europe, where he has been the academic director of the Media MS since 1997, his teaching activity focuses on media and cultural management, and also business ethics. Since 2008, he has also headed the master major entitled « The management of cultural and media industries ».

Ghislain is currently an Editorial Board member of Business and Professional Ethics Journal (BPEJ), of Journal of Management and Sustainability (JMS) and of International Journal on Media Management (JMM). He is also a member of the Scientific Comitee of the CFJ (Centre de formation des Journalistes), an active member of EMMA (European Media Management Association), whose yearly meeting he organized on the Paris campus of ESCP Europe in 2009, of EBEN (European Business Ethics Network), of Société Française des sciences de l'information et de la communication, of Société Française de Philosophie.

Recently he has published Le Management des Médias (Coll. Repères, La Découverte), Le Management Ethique (Editions Dunod) and presented a series of papers which confront the views of Socrates, Aristote, Bergson, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Ricœur and Henry in particular, to the theories of management and business ethics. His most recent research has been published in Business and Professional Ethics Journal, Electronic Journal of Business Ethics and Organizational Studies, European Journal of Popular Culture, Journal of Media Business Studies, Global Media Journal, Journal of Business Ethics et Philosophy of Management.

Current research

Ghislain Deslandes holds degrees in philosophy, management science and media studies. His research interests cut across all three fields. He is particularly interested in pluridisciplinary approaches that combine management and philosophy (managerial ethics, history of ideas, organizational theory and exploration of conceptual issues), management and media (management applied to the media and cultural environment), information and communication science and philosophy (semiology of images, journalistic ethics).
