TheUniversité Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB), in collaboration with Savoie Mont Blanc Tourisme and with the support of the City of Chambéry, is organizing its traditional conference on tourism at the start of the academic year, onThursday October 18 from 10.30am to 12.45pm, at the Manège conference center in Chambéry. Every year, this event serves as a back-to-school conference for students at IAE Savoie Mont Blanc's CITHEME International Center for Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management. It represents a key moment of exchange and sharing for some 400 people involved in tourism in the region: students, teacher-researchers and industry professionals.
This year, the USMB is privileged to welcome Marc Halévy, physicist of complexity (long-time researcher with Nobel Prize winner Ilya Prigogine) and philosopher of spirituality, for an atypical conference moderated by Grégory Guzzo, Marketing and Customer Performance Director for Compagnie des Alpes and CITHEME lecturer.
Conference: "What's happening to us?
"We are living through a change in economic logic, of which the current crises and turbulence are only the apparent manifestations. This change can be understood by noting that such bifurcations are repeated every 500 years or so. The logic of the market economy that we inherited from the Renaissance is coming up against five major ruptures - ecological, technological, organizational, economic and philosophical - to which the emerging economic logic will have to respond. Five key concepts emerge that will forge the foundations of tomorrow's economy and business management.
The speaker
For the past forty years, he has been developing theories, models and methods for complex processes and applying them to human socio-economic systems, not least as part of his activities as a renowned futurist. He is the author of dozens of books on foresight, spirituality and philosophy.
He studied at the Ecole Polytechnique de Bruxelles, specializing in nuclear physics. In 1973, he became a student of Ilya Prigogine, winner of the 1977 Nobel Prize, and began his contribution to the theoretical development of the physics of complex systems and processes, a discipline he applies more specifically to the worlds of foresight, economics and management. At the same time, he studied MBA, philosophy and the history of religion. After 1982, he worked as a crisis manager on numerous assignments spanning more than ten years. Until 1993, he spent most of his life in the USA. Now living in France, where he has published his "Testament scientifique: le paradigme des processus complexes", he gives numerous seminars and lectures.
