“I am excited by the Global Economic Transformation & Technology (GETT) and its ability to make the experience of learning exciting, cutting edge and meaningful to the economic and social challenges confronting the world today. As a Strategic Management scholar trained in Business History, I can see the importance to understand long term implications of technology transformation in our societies for future business leaders. On top of those wanting to join corporations to create the future of technology and business, many students of the present generation thrive to participate into venture creation or join mission-driven organizations. I wish to help them achieve their goals and look forward to meet them in a few years to witness their personal development and professional success. The development of this programme fulfils my purpose to create a platform to educate the brightest minds interested in the concepts transforming the world of business and society. The Global Economic Transformation & Technology (GETT) track at EDHEC Business School was created in the spirit and the values of this Grande École: to train students to participate in the new economy by giving them a strong foundation in business management skills and exposure to the progressive trends impacting the world. I am impatient to accompany our students in a discovery journey through three continents and incredible cities and to collaborate with first class partner universities along the programme.”

You will learn how management accounting information can be collected, analysed, disseminated and interpreted in order to make decisions, and make plans based on those decisions.

This course focuses on financial statement analysis. It is designed to equip students with a conceptual framework that helps them understand how businesses generate value and how this value is captured in financial statements. The use of financial statements is predominant for investors and creditors, and is also highly relevant to the decisions of managers, consultants, auditors, analysts and regulators. After completing the course, you should be able to measure wealth creation, the level of investment in working capital and capital expenditure, company financing, leverage and profitability.

Businesses engage with many different kinds of value that are important for various consitituents of society. For example, they can pay dividends, provide work and income, make products and services, consider the environment, avoid child labor, and so on.

In this course you will learn some of the strategic challenges this poses to managers, and the opportunities it promises for developing new business models.

This course will provide you with solid, evidence-based knowledge on Human Resource Management that is also actionable. You will learn about theoretical concepts and frameworks to help you in diagnosing the strengths and weaknesses of HR policies and identify ways in which the knowledge gained in the course can be applied in organizations to make them more productive.

The purpose of this course is to give you fundamental knowledge in marketing.

In a context where marketing is often criticized for lacking (numerical) inputs, and sometimes even valid and reliable market data, our aim in this class is also to insist on creating financially-viable solutions for the corporate partner, Procter & Gamble, which will sponsor this fundamental marketing management course. Completion of this course will prepare you to successfully secure and hold any marketing management position within a company.

This course's primary objective is to help you answer several important strategic questions for companies or organizations such as What business shall we be in? How to compete for resources and create value? How to organize for and assess performance. We will achieve this using analytical tools and concepts. The course is organized mostly in tutorials with some lectures, both formats are meant to be interactive and value student contribution.

High Technology refers to that class of products and services which is subject to technological change at a pace significantly faster than for most goods in the economy. Under such circumstances, the marketing task faced by the high technology firm differs in some ways from the usual. The purpose of this course is to explore these differences.

An operationally focused course that aims to develop the interdisciplinary skills required for successful product development. Through readings, case studies, guest speakers, applied projects, and student research, students discover the basic tools, methods, and organizational structures used in new product development management. Course covers process phases: idea generation, product definition, product development, testing and refinement, manufacturing ramp-up and product launch.

Based on Haas Professor Steve Blank’s pioneering work, this course provides real world, hands- on learning on what it’s like to actually start a high tech company. This class is not about how to write a business plan. It’s not an exercise on how smart you are in a classroom, or how well you use the research library to size markets. And the end result is not a PowerPoint slide deck for a VC presentation. And it is most definitely not an incubator where you come to build the “hot- idea” that you have in mind. This is a practical class: Our goal, within the constraints of a classroom and a limited amount of time, is to create an entrepreneurial experience for you with all of the pressures and demands of the real world in an early stage start up.

This is a course about financing new entrepreneurial ventures, emphasizing those that have the possibility of creating a national or international impact or both. It will take two perspectives - the entrepreneur's and the investor's - and it will place a special focus on the venture capital process, including how they are formed and managed, accessing the public markets, mergers, and strategic alliances.

This course is intended to provide the core skills needed for the identification of opportunities that can lead to successful, entrepreneurial high technology ventures, regardless of the individual's "home" skill set, whether technical or managerial. We examine in depth the approaches most likely to succeed for entrepreneurial companies as a function of markets and technologies. Emphasis is placed on the special requirements for creating and executing strategy in a setting of rapid technological change and limited resources. This course is particularly suited for those who anticipate founding or operating technology companies.

The primary objective of this course and the associated innovation consulting projects is for students to learn and apply the approaches, skills, and behaviors required to successfully initiate and drive innovation in a complex organization. Students taking the course will use concepts and tools from several other foundational business courses, including Economic Analysis for Business Decisions, Strategic Leadership, Leading People, Finance, and Problem Finding Problem Solving. As important, the student teams are expected to deliver the highest quality work and deliverables, genuine insights, innovative solutions, and real value on mission-critical client projects.
