NEOMA Business School is a French business school, created in 2013 by the merger of two business schools: Rouen Business School (established in 1871) and Reims Management School (established in 1928). According to their latest performances as separate organisations in the 2012 Financial Times ranking of the best Masters in Management, Rouen Business School's flagship degree was the world's 17th best and Reims Management School's was 23rd.
The school has more than 8,000 students, 200 academic staff (of whom more than 40% are international), 300 university partners in 75 countries and over 49,000 alumni, as well as three campuses, in Rouen, Reims, and Paris. The school is triple accredited by AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS.
The two founding schools have been cooperating on a wide range of areas since at least 1987 before entering the merger process. Just a few years prior to the merger, they had also jointly opened a new campus in Paris dedicated to executive education. Both schools were considered to be among France's best, and both held the triple accreditation. The main reasons for the merger is the need to grow larger than what they already were as separate institutions, in the context of a globalised competition affecting the world's business schools, in addition to the reduction of the funding efforts by the local austerity-struck chambers of commerce.
Created in 1871, it is the second oldest business School in France and has remained one of the country's best. The school has been, since its very creation, a business school with an international outlook: the stated primary mission of the École Supérieure de Commerce de Rouen, or ESC Rouen, as it was then known when it was created in 1871, was "to train business leaders or directors of overseas agencies, consular agents able to represent France in a suitable manner in its international trade relations".
