Enseignant-chercheur en Stratégie et Innovation, UniLaSalle Maryem CHERNI, Enseignant-Chercheur Dr. en Stratégie d’entreprise et Management de l’Innovation à l’Institut Polytechnique UniLaSalle, site de Beauvais. Membre de l’unité de recherche INTERACT. Après avoir étudié différents secteurs d’activité, le sens de ma démarche actuelle est de s’intéresser en particulier à l’agriculture et à l’agroalimentaire. Mon objectif est de contribuer aux travaux sur l’entrepreneuriat agricole et sur la pérennité des entreprises agricoles. Plus particulièrement, je me penche sur la contribution des innovations collaboratives, sur la gestion du volet relationnel entre les acteurs, notamment la confiance, et les stratégies d’innovation dans ces deux secteurs d’activités. Les conférences dans lesquelles j'ai participé, ainsi que mes publications, témoignent de mon rapprochement des communités de chercheurs en sciences de gestion et en agronomie. Je suis également co-coordinatrice et membre de la branche européenne du réseau international IFAMA (International Farm and Agrifood Management Association), reviewer de sa revue IFAMR, membre de IFERA International Family Enterprise Research Academy, membre et reviewer pour l’AIMS (Association Internationale de Management Stratégique), l’AOM Academy of Management, International Journal of Entrepreneurial Venturing.
