Strategic Choice
To make students proficient in the analytical tools and techniques used by strategists. Students learn how: to assess and choose the “best” strategies for different organizations; to ensure that the various functional decisions follow from and facilitate ?rather than obstruct? implementation of strategy.
Eco-system of Innovation
Innovation is like an iceberg and a tropical forest. It is like an iceberg because what you see above the surface is just a small part of the content. It is like a tropical forest because, like a biological ecosystem, variety of elements is necessary for life to develop.
The course is organized to discover what is under the surface of innovation and the multiplicity of actors necessary to develop rich innovation environments
Entrepreneurial Finance
Entrepreneurial finance has two main characteristics if compared with traditional corporate finance. Because it deals with a new activity, there are neither financial flows nor assets to get funded and the entrepreneur has to raise significant amount of money to finance the activity until achieving the breakeven, which takes years. The second characteristics of entrepreneurial finance are that it is risky. For those two reasons the funding is mainly in capital and the actors of funding are not traditional banks but Business Angels, Venture Capitalists and the financial markets. Therefore the main expertises of finance expert are capital raising and valuation of the project.
Strategic Marketing of Innovation
Students will discover new concepts defining new theories. These theories have been developped since 2000. All these theories will be compared with oldest marketing theories. Beyond concepts, students will have to practice on several or fake business cases. Moreover, one real business case will provide the opportunity to follow the thread from the beginning to the end of the programme. A real market survey will be provided to the entrepreneur using ISMA360 method.
Globalization
International outsourcing and its impact on investment and employment; the role of globalization and its effect on the wealth gap between, and within, countries; the role of the State and of international institutions in funding development and establishing regulations and governance; the threats and opportunities of global markets for management and company strategy.
Research Methods and Critical Thinking
Prepares students for the final dissertation, helping them to identify a good topic, how to best go about doing research, and to understand the implications of their choice of methodology. In doing so, it will introduce students to a range of methods and issues that will allow them to adopt a critical-thinking approach to this and other projects.
Strategy in Action
This course focuses on the implementation of strategies and is divided in two parts. The 1st part will look how both intentional and emergent strategies develop in organizations. It highlights the complex relationship between strategy and organization in relation to the key resource areas: people, information, finance and technology. The 2nd part will introduce the notion of ethics and sustainability in strategy. It will look into reengineering supply chains to make them more sustainable and ethical.
New Venture and Business Plan
This course will take the student from innovative idea creation to early start-up activities and acquisition of the first clients for a new business. Central to this process is the iterative creation and fine tuning of a business plan, development of understanding the uses of the business plan for management of key activities and for attracting outside investors.
Technology and Innovation Management
The technology-management interface will be explored from two perspectives: (1) the management of medium-tech and high-tech firms ? and specifically the management of the firm's technological assets; and, (2) the impact of technology and innovation on business processes and functional areas of the company, whatever the technological intensity of the company
Strategies of High-growth businesses
Some businesses outperform others in terms of growth of the annual sales turnover, number of employees, and profit. What characterizes these organizations? What do they do better than their competitors? This course aims at analyzing the propelling ingredients commonly found among these companies, which contribute to constantly improve the performance of a specific business model. Students will learn to identify these factors of success.
Business Game “EPM”
A computer-simulated business game. Teams are in competition to gain market share and profit. Students make decisions on commercial, financial, production, personnel and quality matters. Decisions impact on other teams. The computer uses a model that simulates the reactions of markets, reacts to the balance between competitors and all the financial, social, technical and stock market consequences of your decisions and resulting sales.
Some examples of students' in-company projects:
• The dynamic of innovation between existing companies, start-up and sme’s in in energy.
• How the development of innovative activities in China impacts on the R&D organization of companies from developed countries? The case of China-based foreign R&D centers.
