First Business Management Track Advisory Board meets in Paris

On March 18th, the first Advisory Board meeting of the Business Management Track took place in Paris at the Ritz Hotel.

Ever seeking to improve its programmes and determined to meet companies' needs and requirements for skilled graduates, EDHEC Business School invited leading managers to join the Board. As for the FE Advisory Board, the BM Advisory Board will play a major role in orientating and determining the Business Management Track's programmes. It will provide guidance and industry insights that will be then fed into our programmes.

This first meeting provided the opportunity to discuss the objectives and contents of the new structure (M1 and M2) and its relevance to the corporate world. The board discussed the new market's expectations in terms of managerial functions, with a particular emphasis on marketing functions. 

Board's conclusions were then used by each MSC's scientific council that took place on March 22nd for the MSc in Strategy & Organisation Consultancy, on March 23rd for the MSc in Marketing, on March 24th for the MSc in Entrepreneurship and on March 30th for the MSc in Arts & NGOs Management. Each scientific council was attended by EDHEC teachers, business partners and students representatives.
