M2 Management Stratégique et Changement (MSC)
Supporting a company through strategic transformation, the improvement of working methods and processes, the roll-out of digital tools, or the evolution of its information systems requires expertise in project management methods, change management, and strategy & organisation consulting.
The MSC Master’s programme therefore aims to train specialists in strategic change management and project management, prepared to take on cross-functional roles (change manager, project manager, PMO, product owner, scrum master, consultant, product manager, HR or marketing project officer) within a global context of environmental, social, and digital transformation of organisations.
Identifier et mobiliser les connaissances disciplinaires spécialisées en management stratégique.
Building on M1 MSC, M2 MSC prepares future managers, project leaders, and consultants who specialize in designing and delivering projects that drive operational change and strategic transformation across all types of organizations. The curriculum is designed to consolidate the foundations laid in M1 in both strategic and operational management (strategy and CSR, people management and leadership, project team management, change management, process and complex project management, innovation, digital transformation, information systems, and international/intercultural management). In addition, courses in English, project management, and research methods, together with the implementation of team projects, the 6th month internship placements, and the completion of a rigorous research thesis, equip students with practical know-how as well as strong analytical and interpersonal skills that significantly enhance their professionalization and employability.
Les études d'insertion, le réseau d'Alumni du master ainsi que les nombreux contacts LinkedIn des responsables du parcours avec leurs anciens étudiants permettent d'avoir une appréciation assez claire des débouchés des étudiants. Le constat est que la grande majorité des étudiants diplômés occupent des postes conformes avec le niveau et les objectifs de leur formation. Ainsi, ils occupent majoritairement les emplois suivants :
- Chef de projet (digital, marketing, SI, AMOA…), Project Management Officer ;
- Community & Change Manager, Business Analyst, Chef de produit, chargé d'études ;
- Consultant (changement, projet, qualité, organisation, RH-SIRH, SI, marketing…)
- Chargé d'études marketing ou RH, chargé de recrutement, chargé de relations écoles & marque employeur.
The majority of M2 MSC come from M1 MSC standard track and are admitted by right. However, admission is also possible for students who have completed an M1 in the Strategic Management major, other M1 programs within the Graduate School of Economics & Management, and external candidates, following a selective review of the application and an interview.
A minimum B1 level in English (CEFR) is expected (and C1 in French for international students). Submission of a Score IAE-Message is appreciated.
General expectations:
- Successful completion—with strong mastery—of M1 courses related to the strategic management of organizations.
- One or more internships/apprenticeships, and participation in projects and/or group activities.
- A clear career plan consistent with the skills developed and the program’s professional outcomes.
- Intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and a genuine interest in research in strategic management and the scientific method.
As part of the Project Management course unit (UE), students design, formalize, and implement social, solidarity-based, cultural, or sports projects, applying the methods taught in class with guidance from the course coordinator. Likewise, the Strategy & Organization Consulting and Innovation Project Management courses place students in project teams and require them to produce and present deliverables.
A six-month internship in a company (minimum of three months) is a major component of students’ professional training, closely aligned with the knowledge and skills acquired in class. Assessment of the in-company immersion is based on the completion of a research thesis in strategic management whose research question is tied to the professional context. The aim is to evaluate students’ critical analysis and reflective practice regarding their professional immersion, as well as their ability to conduct applied research in strategic management.
Le M2 MSC classique accueille aussi des étudiants d’autres parcours de Master en provenance de la mention Management stratégique, d’autres mentions de la Graduate School Economie & Management et d’autres établissements, à la suite d’un processus de sélection (dossier et entretien).
Le parcours Management Stratégique et Changement se donne pour mission de former de futurs cadres dans l'élaboration et la conduite de projets vecteurs de transformation stratégique dans tout type d'organisation.
D'une manière générale, les compétences et connaissances que les étudiants auront développé tout au long de ce parcours leur permettront :
- d'être capable de collecter et analyser des informations internes et externes se rapportant à l'activité d'une organisation ;
- de manager des projets de toute nature ;
- de concevoir et accompagner des stratégies de changement organisationnel ;
- d'élaborer et de traiter une problématique de recherche appliquée en management stratégique ;
- de communiquer de manière adaptée avec une large variété de publics et de contextes.
Le processus d'apprentissage est appelé à se dérouler tout au long de la vie. Ce Master vise donc à développer chez les étudiants diplômés de véritables capacités de prise de recul, de recherche et d'investigation, de capacité critique d'information, d'autonomie personnelle et intellectuelle, d'engagement éthique, social et professionnel.
