Objectifs
We are living in a world that is rapidly and profoundly changing. For instance, our society is at the origin of and confronted to environmental, digital, and societal transitions, to name a few. To face the challenges of these transitions we need to develop the capacity to reflect on them and produce the necessary changes and innovations at the corporate level. The “MCI Graduate Program: International transitions and the enterprise of tomorrow” trains future researchers to develop applied research in Management, Economics, or Law to assist companies in implementing relevant innovations to face the challenges of tomorrow. Graduates from this program will be equipped to pursue an academic research career through a PhD degree, to work in corporates’ R&D units or in international organizations.
