Vision And Objectives Of The Programme

Managing ongoing operations and the value chain of an organization is a key for better performance. As the supply chains of partners are interconnected, understanding management configuration, processes and practices, how they are integrated, how they can provide a better visibility, how to facilitate collaboration and improve adaptability among the partners, are the inputs to mobilize resources and competencies to create competitive advantage and other sources of value. As resources are easily shared by many organizations, the organization’s competencies are the most important relevant driver and are at the source of competitive advantage and the creation of value.

The main objective of the programme is to facilitate the dynamic development of participants' managerial and entrepreneurial competencies, allowing them to enlarge their expertise, and to work as manager and leader in the management of operations, supply chain, organisation, performance, and international and multicultural environment.

1. The contents of the modules present all the knowledge and skills to be acquired as well as the personal characteristics to be developed;
2. Work on internal projects and internships contribute to developing and
to improving professional experience and, individual and team performance;
3. The professional thesis integrates these dimensions and demonstrates the students' capacity to apply knowledge reflectively and learn to learn critically
