The
objectives of the Bachelor programmes are:
|
|
To
allow students access to a broad base of knowledge in core
managerial skills |
|
|
To
develop international employability by commitment to specific
industries; |
|
|
To
give students a holistic approach to problems and situations |
|
|
To
use creative pedagogy stressing personal skills.. |
Thus, the
first objective of these programmes are to allow participants to
change the way they think about business issues, in particular by
constantly keeping in mind a holistic approach to problems and
situations.
In a
fast-changing and technological world, it is essential for the class
participants to define major reference points which will allow them to
evaluate the usefulness of the acquired know-how and its application.
These reference points include the development of an analytical and
critical approach, creativity, ethics and an understanding of the
environment in which they, as individuals, and their corporations,
will perform.
The
programmes therefore stress as much the ‘soft’ approach to
management as quantitative techniques. Management is as much about
perception, values and human relations as it is about basing decisions
on facts and figures.
The
programmes integrate results of academic research and insight into
real-life situations as well as an analysis of the impact of the firm’s
environment on corporate decisions and actions.
The course
content allows course participants to apprehend the complexities and
inter-relations of the corporate world and leads participants to
practice analytical skills throughout the course and the assessment
methodology.
The
ultimate purposes of the programmes are to enable participants to :
|
|
develop
skills in critical thinking enabling them to correctly analyse a
problem |
|
|
understand
the nature of the effort necessary to develop adequate solutions |
|
|
comprehend
the problems that might arise in implementing solutions to
complex problems |
|
|
refine
their quantitative reasoning skills so that they can adequately
define success objectives and their measurement and feedback |
|
|
have
a full understanding of a specific industry so as to be
immediately employable by the most demanding corporations. |

METHODOLOGY
Introduction
These
programmes are divided into three fully inter-related
parts :
|
the
teaching of facts |
|
the
discussion of current paradigms |
|
a
reflection on the future. |
They
firmly establish the fact that, like all sciences, management
is, by nature, an unfinished
subject and that it is constantly evolving. The most important talent of a manager
in an increasing complex
world is his willingness and ability to learn and to
conceptualise rather than to
know specific facts and models which he will attempt to apply. His most important asset
is his freedom to
experiment.
Management
is, by definition, the management of people, and
therefore an understanding of
societal function is a must. These programmes therefore do not want to simply teach
best practices, but
to also give the tools and mental patterns
necessary to allow managers to
make their own decisions.
