variety of finance jobs.

The availability of Reuters and Bloomberg terminals with existing live quotes and up-to-the-minute financial information from different exchanges allows students to follow and better understand the correlation between geopolitics, economics and the financial markets.

Strategy is the art of navigating the competitive landscape. Without strategy, no company can prosper in the long run. On the other hand, competitive intelligence relies on economic watch, economic security and methods of influence to control strategic knowledge.
By combining both fields, the MSc International Strategy & Influence provides students with the distinctive competencies necessary to succeed in the knowledge economy. It is designed to train students in:  

• the challenges of strategic management of firms working in an international and globalised environment
  
• the skills and knowledge to develop strategies drawing on competitive intelligence methods
  
• legal methods of influence
  
• executing strategies based on the organisation of knowledge and appropriate skills in using information as a strategic asset
  
• designing the right organisation and the appropriate managerial structure to operate corporate strategy in the global economy.

The Luxury and Fashion Management MSc is international in its orientation, reflecting the industry itself: international manufacturing and distribution, cross-border ownership, and global branding and communications.
This MSc recognises that design, trend-recognition and marketing skills –rather than production/manufacturing skills– are what make today’s luxury and fashion firms successful. These skills are the skills related to new product development, marketing, strategic brand management and
communications delivery.
Motivated students are educated in an individualised academic environment for success in the fast-moving world of fashion and luxury. These skills are taught within a global macro-economic and financial environment along with market-oriented courses.
The programme’s objective is to enable students to achieve their career ambitions by: giving students regular access to experienced fashion and luxury specialists who have both strong academic skills and practical in-company experience; improving and expanding participating students’ career prospects by providing them with training in fashion and luxury management as well as understanding the issues in international trends and working across cultures; for those who may be working or studying outside the field of art, fashion and luxury, this programme will provide the opportunity for a change in career direction.

Recent graduates have been recruited around the globe into a wide range of fields by leading fashion or luxury institutions and multinational corporations such as DHV, Rodriguez, Dassault, LVMH, Baume & Mercier, Hermes, Jitrois, Caudalie, BETC Design, Gucci Group….

Après des débuts sulfureux, aujourd’hui débarrassés des faux-sens, l’intelligence économique (IE) et son corollaire le management des connaissances (MC ou Knowledge Management), sont devenues des pratiques obligatoires de l’entreprise et de toute organisation dans l’économie mondialisée. Il s’agit de gérer de façon intelligente et durable une compétition et une présence internationales complexes, par la maîtrise de l’information.
L’IE vise la compréhension et l’anticipation de l’environnement concurrentiel. Elle permet de transformer l’information en valeur ajoutée, en aidant à identifier les opportunités, prévenir les risques, sécuriser ses démarches et influencer le monde extérieur au lieu de le subir, le tout dans un cadre éthique et légal. Le management des connaissances permet de son côté d’exploiter ces
informations dans l’environnement interne et humain de l’organisation, notamment dans une optique d’innovation.
Ce mastère spécialisé a été créé en 1995 par Alice Guilhon, aujourd’hui Directrice générale de SKEMA. Il n’a cessé de s’adapter et fait maintenant partie du centre Global Intelligence & Influence de l’Ecole (GIISK), dirigé par Claude Revel, professeur, praticienne et auteur en IE. Le programme apporte une spécialisation ou une double compétence, selon le profil et le choix de l’étudiant. Dans tous les cas, il forme des cadres adaptés aux besoins des entreprises et des organisations dans un contexte d’économie de la connaissance mondialisée.
Métiers & Carrières visés
Chef de projet, Responsable département IE, Analyste, Chargé de Veille, Manager risques globaux, Lobbyiste, Affaires publiques internationales, Knowledge Manager, Community Manager, Governance complier, Responsable prospective en entreprise, organisation professionnelle,
cabinet de conseil…
