The Organizational and Strategic Technological Developments (ETOS) program aims to provide students with the fundamental knowledge and skills required for research in management sciences. Students can thus prepare to enter a doctoral program or prepare for analysis and research assignments in management sciences. The program can also serve as preparation for teaching
In M1, students consolidate their fundamental knowledge and analytical skills in the main management functions (marketing, HRM, finance and control) as well as in management (strategy, diagnosis and change, project management, principles and methods of innovation, entrepreneurship, auditing and consulting, studies and research in management sciences, etc.). They must also develop their mastery of computer software (advanced functions of Excel, SAS) and English.
Information
Skills
The main skills developed by the ETOS Master's program are:
- developing a systemic and integrated approach to organizational management, enabling students to collect and analyze internal and external information relating to the company's activities.
- being able to articulate theoretical knowledge and practical observations: using theory to shed light on reality, using reality to go beyond theory
- mastering the basic concepts and tools of management science research;
- mastering the main office automation tools and documentary research using databases;
- writing clearly (synthesis and analysis skills) and speaking
Objectives
Following on from a bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Management, Economics and Management, or Social Sciences, the ETOS Master's program aims to consolidate students' foundations in management sciences through in-depth functional studies (HRM, marketing, finance and control) and strategic management (organizational management, strategy, diagnosis and change, project management, principles and methods of innovation, auditing and consulting, studies and research in management sciences, etc.). In addition, compulsory courses in English, management information technology, and business creation, as well as a 2- to 5-month internship in a company (culminating in the submission of a report), enable students to develop a better understanding of how organizations work and to acquire skills that are useful both to researchers in management sciences and to future consultants.
The Organizational and Strategic Technological Developments (ETOS) program aims to provide students with the fundamental knowledge and skills required for research in management sciences. Students can thus prepare to enter a doctoral program or prepare for analysis and research assignments in management science. The program can also serve as preparation for teaching management science at the higher education level. The program is largely shared with the M1 MSC in Strategic Management.
