Leadership and teamwork

Leadership and teamwork have a direct impact on an organization's ability to achieve its mission. Leadership is needed to make sure everyone on the team is moving in the same direction and working towards the same goal. This course introduces, explains, and explores how people work together to understand problems and opportunities and to invent, develop, and implement solutions together. It provides students with insights about themselves and others and how to work together effectively. By the end of the course, students will have the basic knowledge and skills to understand themselves and others, how to work in teams, and how to create, develop, and lead teams.

Business Process Management

Organisation is fundamental to understanding the real workings of any company, or more generally any institution, and is part of the basic know-how of any manager. In addition, organization management is also willing to take into account the interdependencies between people's daily activities (specifically processes): processes are the real lever to achieve organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Finally, the management of the organisation and its processes should also take into account the way people and units make their decisions, given that organising and decision-making are two central and complementary activities of the managerial function. To achieve these objectives, this course aims to explain the basic concepts and major theories behind business processes. The course mainly focuses on analyzing and designing the right organization at the micro level (individual) and macro level (group of multiple individuals); analyzing how to manage processes effectively, in terms of activities, performance and principles; analyzing how to make decisions quickly, in terms of process, constraints, models and game theory approach.

Design and development of software applications

This course provides students with the opportunity to develop skills in designing and developing software solutions, project management and communication. This includes the different methods of software development, the tools that can be used in this process, and the interaction between software and other components of computer systems. Students use a systematic approach to developing and documenting software solutions using a variety of data structures and language tools.

Basics of data analysis

The aim of this course is to prepare you to work in the field of data analysis. You will be introduced to many basic types of data analytics and fundamental concepts. You will become familiar with the tools and skills needed to perform data analysis. You will review some of the basic mathematical and statistical techniques used in data analysis and workflows for conducting effective and efficient data analysis.

Digital strategy

The course focuses on key concepts, procedures and issues of strategic management of digital technologies and deals with two key topics. First, it examines the strategic role and organizational value of digital technologies, including digitally supported innovation, digital ecosystems, and digital transformation and disruption. Second, it examines the strategic management of digital technologies needed to realize this value potential, including current and emerging approaches and frameworks for strategic digital decision-making and digital service delivery management.

Technology, strategy and innovation

This course provides a series of strategic frameworks for managing high-technology enterprises. The emphasis throughout the course is on the development and application of conceptual models that elucidate the interactions between competition, patterns of technological and market change, and the structure and development of organizational capabilities. A major emphasis is placed on the acquisition of a set of powerful analytical tools that are critical to the development of technology strategy as an integral part of business strategy. These tools can provide a framework for deciding which technologies to invest in, how to structure those investments, and how to anticipate and respond to the behavior of competitors, suppliers, and customers.

Digital economy: platforms, artificial intelligence and business

Digitisation of the economy is one of the most serious issues of our time. Digital technologies have changed businesses and people's lives and will continue to do so in the future.
