Presentation
The MPI master's program is part of the Innovation Management major, along with three other programs: Innovative Business Creation (CEI), e-Marketing, and Digital Transformation Management (MTD). The aim of this program is to enable students to carry out a professional project in the field of innovation with a major focus (one of the programs) while integrating a strong cross-disciplinary approach between these four areas through a combination of innovation, digital technology, marketing, and strategy (business model). The MPI program corresponds to the following professional objectives:
¤ Project or assignment manager in an innovative company,
¤ Consulting and support activities in innovation and entrepreneurship,
Our vision of innovative project management is primarily entrepreneurial, which explains the strong links between the MPI and CEI programs.
Objectives
This unique positioning allows for a cross-disciplinary approach to all subjects. It emphasizes skills, particularly cross-disciplinary skills and soft skills, which have been the foundation of the Master's program's teaching approach since its inception in 2001 with the creation of the CEI Master's degree: teamwork, independence, problem solving, communication, and critical thinking.
Know-how and skills
The courses and activities focus on active and experiential learning. There are strong synergies between the different tracks within the major, allowing for extensive sharing of courses and closer ties between students from different tracks. In particular, the Disrupt Campus Montpellier program is integrated into the four tracks of the major. This is an innovative educational program designed to support the digital transformation of businesses: https://digitalstudentchallenge.umontpellier.fr
Finally, the development of true open-mindedness among students is encouraged by innovative and entrepreneurial approaches to management (design thinking, lean startup, agile methodology, Lego Serious Play, the Disrupt Campus Montpellier program, etc.).
