MSc Global Management and Innovation

The MSc Global Management and Innovation aims to provide valuable employability skills with a problem-based, practice-focused approach that clearly evaluates learning as a life-long attitude. With a clear and specific attitude towards knowledge that evaluates the importance of the human factor in every single aspect of management (from HR to strategy, from organisational behaviour to marketing), the MSc Global Management and Innovation creates future professionals readied for competitive global markets, aware of how to effectively embrace change and uncertainty in order to innovate.
