Module 6
Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Module 7
Growth & Sustainability

Exploring aspects such as integrated innovation policy, incubating new business models, outsourcing activities, growth hacking, and determining the level of sustainable development with a consistent financial structure.

Teaching Methodology

A first-person learning experience

The Executive Master in Management is rooted in a fundamental principle: it is through practice that a manager's skills are honed. Therefore, the programme is built upon an innovative method that places you at the core of the learning experience: the case method.

 

Objective: Analyse and solve complex real or fictional problems that encompass all managerial dimensions of the company. As you delve into these challenges, you will enhance your autonomy, analytical thinking, synthesis skills, and leadership abilities, while also deepening your specific competencies. Step into the shoes of a business leader, determining the strategic and operational directions for all the cases presented to you.

Throughout the year, an array of three immersive seminars are organised:

 

  1. Introduction: a comprehensive seminar serving as an introduction to the Executive Master in Management
  2. Airline Manager Game: a hands-on simulation in strategy and management
  3. Role-playing: a seminar focused on strategy and finance

Starting in January, you will collaborate in a team of four to five individuals to develop a business plan that revolves around a unique theme, resulting in diverse projects akin to a Business Case.


This business plan is an opportunity to sharpen your ability to carry out new projects in a company, with the assistance of a seasoned coach.

"I wanted to acquire new skills, particularly in finance, to complete my training in communication. I turned to the Executive Master in Management for its practical side, in particular thanks to the case studies which constitute an immersion in the life of the company in terms of strategy, market positioning, marketing choices and pricing policy...They allow us to evaluate our ability to identify solutions and opportunities and make decisions.

We live in a world that forces us as managers to develop and share a vision, a guideline. The Executive Master in Management provides the keys to building this global vision."

"Growth is at the heart of every business today. The Executive Master in Management embraces this strategic dimension by addressing all its components. From the keys to an integrated innovation policy, to the effects of growth on your operational organisation, the incubation of new business models, the outsourcing of activities, growth hacking, and even the definition of the level of development supported with a constant financial structure."
