Presentation
The MPI master's program is part of the Innovation Management specialization, along with 3 other programs: Innovative Company Creation (CEI), e-Marketing and Digital Transformation Management (MTD). The aim of this pathway is to enable students to carry out a professional project in the field of innovation with a major orientation (one of the pathways), while integrating a high degree of transversality between these 4 orientations by linking innovation X digital X marketing X strategy (business model). The MPI pathway 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 link between the MPI and CEI tracks.
Objectives
This original positioning enables a cross-disciplinary approach to all subjects. It emphasizes competencies, particularly cross-disciplinary competencies and soft skills, which have been the foundation of the Master's pedagogy since its inception in 2001, with the creation of the CEI Master's degree: teamwork, autonomy, problem-solving, communication, critical thinking.
Know-how and skills
Courses and activities emphasize active, experiential learning. There are strong synergies between the courses in the specialization, enabling a broad sharing of courses and closer links between students from different courses. In particular, the Disrupt Campus Montpellier program is integrated into the 4 courses in the specialization, and is an innovative pedagogical program designed to support the digital transformation of companies: https://digitalstudentchallenge.umontpellier.fr
Finally, innovative and entrepreneurial approaches to management (design thinking, lean startup, agile method, lego serious play, Disrupt Campus Montpellier program, etc.) help students develop a truly open mind.
