Robert Reix passed away in 2006, but the memory of this man who played such a prominent role in France in the development of teaching and research in information systems lives on:

In 2007, the book Connaissance et management (Knowledge and Management), comprising 32 academic contributions, was published in his honor by Economica.
Since 2008, the FNEGE-AIM – ROBERT REIX thesis prize has been awarded each year to the best thesis in Information Systems.
In 2011, the sixth edition of his main work, "Information Systems and Organizational Management," was updated by his colleagues and published under his name by Vuibert.
In 2016, the seventh edition of his book was updated once again and published under his name by Vuibert; this manual will soon reach 20,000 copies sold and will therefore remain the French reference in the field.

Robert Reix (1934-2006), professor of management sciences and doctor of state, was professor emeritus at the University of Montpellier. He founded the IAE in Montpellier, which he directed for ten years, as well as the CREGO research team, which would go on to gain national recognition. Robert Reix trained many students there who, in turn, contributed to the development of the discipline. Robert Reix was one of the founding members of the scientific association AIM (Association Information et Management) and the journal SIM (Systèmes d'information et Management). He also held numerous positions of responsibility within the management sciences community, including chairing the agrégation examination board.

His influence on the discipline of information systems management is considerable.
