Introduction
The world is changing considerably due to endogenous and exogenous shocks with strong effects on enterprises and their management. It always does. Nothing stands still.
At the ESCE, we recognize we live in challenging times, facing pressures of rapid technological innovations, increasing globalization as well as regionalization, dwindling natural resources, and the need to generate economic growth, which delivers greater well-being for society. This likely reshaping of the international expansion of enterprises is driven by both managerial and political factors. To deal with those changes, managers have to be flexible and adaptive, they need to broaden their horizons and develop new skills with the aim to anticipate and better meet the challenges of this rapidly changing business environment.
At the ESCE, we tackle the challenges international business faces through analytical, sharp analysis and thought leadership. It is part of the ESCE DNA.
The goal of the MSc is to respond to the expectations of enterprises by allowing the acquisition of solid knowledge and skills required to occupy decision-making roles and to succeed as an international manager.
