Course objectives
Management and its practices have undergone radical changes in recent years, due in particular to the ecological and social tensions that mark our development model. In order to grasp these challenges, the ability to step back, anticipate, experiment and undertake is becoming increasingly strategic.
The partnership with the MSc - SASI "Master of Science - Sustainability & Social Innovation" is aimed at students who wish to understand and/or participate in this renewal of managerial practices. By exploring alternative approaches, the aim is to give a head start by showing how - and why - to do things differently or do things differently from the usual.
This partnership favours above all the intellectual mix by allowing the MS FNS-MI auditors to work jointly with the MS SASI students during two teaching sequences: the FNS-MI auditors follow part of the SASI teaching at HEC-Paris and the SASI auditors follow part of the FNS-MI teaching.
