Companies today increasingly need specialists who are able to
master the complexity of our international economic and technological
environment, help define specific development axes within the
framework of a general policy, and enhance responsiveness at
all levels of their organisations.
Competitive watch and environmental analysis, the development
of evolutionary hypotheses and scenarios, economic and social
diagnostics of the firm and the development of organisational
change programmes – these are all factors that require
a professional approach to strategic management. HEC’s
Specialized Masters in Strategic Management
aims to provide this sort of training to young graduates who
are selected after finishing an elite engineering school,
an entry-level post-graduate programme or a university outside
France. They become operational within a very short period
of time and can go to work for strategy and organisation consultants
large companies’ planning, organisational and strategic
marketing departments and investment banks or venture capital
companies. In addition to their immediate operability, the
density and quality of the training and apprenticeships on
offer ensure that over the long-term they will be able to
succeed at the very highest level in the international environment.
The exceptional qualification represented by a degree from HEC’s
Specialized Masters in Strategic Management is based on two main
resources:
the pole of excellence that is the HEC School of management,
with its faculty that is the match of any top flight international
institution, comprised of professors who also operate as
researchers, teachers and business practitioners and who
possess a very diverse training background and experience
acquired both in France and abroad.
a
partnership with professionals. Big name consultants
and company executives offer their know-how in presentations
of the issues they face and the problem-solving methods they
use in response. Companies also open their doors to students
to allow them to undertake a number of projects that all
have a twofold objective: to provide real front-line training;
and to be directly useful to the company itself.
The programme’s dynamics are based on a steady
development from conceptual training to a company placement.
As this program is taught in french, applicants must
speak french in order to apply.
