Curriculum
Description
Innovation-based competition is now a reality across all business sectors. The digital revolution is strongly affecting the behavior of both firms and regulators. In order to survive in hyper-competitive markets, companies have to innovate more frequently and more radically.
Year 1: Innovation, Industry and Society
This program aims at providing cutting-edge frameworks and methodologies to help face this challenge. Students will develop strong expertise both in terms of technology and management. Hard and soft sciences are combined to deliver high-level courses across a broad landscape including system software, artificial intelligence, biomechanical & 3D printing, econometrics, platform economy, and innovation management and design. Students will have the opportunity to tailor the program to fit their own interests and career outlooks.
Year 2: Organization, Strategy and Information Systems specialization
This Master 2 specialization aims to train young consultants (representing more than 90% of the positions held on graduation) and senior managers (remaining 10%) in Organization, Strategy and Information Systems.
The program brings together final-year students from engineering and business schools with graduates and high-potential university students (mostly economists) from Master 1 to train tomorrow’s consultants. This mix of scientific, academic and business backgrounds - combined with a broad international outlook - is appreciated by students and HR departments alike.
