The Chair Program is a tradition at American and European universities. It consists of financing, through donations by companies, teaching and research activities at renowned universities in areas considered relevant to their activities.
The objectives of a Chair are, in general, the realization of research projects that allow to investigate, reflect and understand the trends, scenarios and transformations in the market.
In Brazil, Coppead was one of the pioneering institutions in the Chairs program through the creation of the Boston Bank Chair in Business Policy in 1984, followed by the Mesbla de Varejo and Souza Cruz Chairs for International Strategy. The entire investigation process translates into the management of this knowledge through the provision of disciplines in Coppead Courses, within the same area of interest, strengthening management training with specialized qualifications and sharing knowledge with the whole society through its publications.
