HEC Montréal and McMaster University have each launched new research chairs. At HEC, the Chair in Audit, Society and Governance will be co-directed by Professors Zvi Singer and Anna Samsonova-Taddei. The chair co-directors will focus their research on examining audit practice and digital technologies, assessing diversity and professional accountancy firms, and studying the impacts of climate and sustainability requirements. McMaster and Purolator have partnered to launch the Purolator Chair in Sustainable Logistics and Supply Chain Management. This chair will be held by DeGroote School of Business Associate Dean of Research Elkafi Hassini, who will lead research focused on AI and data science, automation, decarbonization, and workplace safety.
