CDES economic expertise: audits, studies, support and decision-making assistance

Since 1990, many clients have trusted CDES (see our references) to support them in their projects and to provide them with decision-making tools. These studies are intended to provide managers with rigorous analyses based on both proven methodology and on the traditional tools of economic calculation (data analysis, statistics and econometrics, etc.). They are, above all, intended to satisfy the needs of our clients.

Our multidisciplinary approach couples the expertise of our teams, who are actively involved in the reality of sport on a daily basis, with the analytical and prospective insight of our academic collaborators. Every study, therefore, is undertaken under the scientific supervision of a university professor. The academic supervision of economic studies is ensured by Jean-Jacques GOUGUET, Eric BARGET, Jean-François BROCARD and Sabine CHAVINIER RÉLA also intervene. This strong and long-standing rooting in the academic world enables us to anticipate any developments in the sector in relation to any broader developments in our society.
