foreword

Today’s business environment experiences constant and rapid change. Globalization, financial crises, the development of digital business models and emerging markets are causing drastic uncertainty among well established organizations. Firms need to be efficient in their response, embracing technological change and undertaking strategic action such as mergers, acquisitions and alliances.

These challenges signify a growing demand for strategic skills: Multinational firms must refine their strategies, and continuously

change their day-to-day practices. Strategic Consultancy firms must constantly demonstrate the added

value they provide to their clients. Investment banks and corporate venture capital must shape new

alliances, mergers and acquisitions.

As a result, the market today requires the highest standard of technical training; the HEC MSc Strategic Management meets this demand. Taught entirely in English, the program lasts 10 months and is actively supported by top international consulting firms, leading companies and investment banks which actively take part in its curriculum through business cases and numerous real-life company projects.

Participants from all around the world will benefit from the program’s international exposure, the involvement of corporate partners and the reputation of HEC Paris as a leading business school in Europe.

We look forward to welcoming you on campus.

a comprehenSive curriculum

WHAT IS STRATEGIC MAnAGEMEnT?Strategic management is an essential component of company growth and survival and encompasses two main components: strategic analysis, i.e. identification of major trends and sources

of opportunities:‘external analysis’ consists of identifying the forces that constrain a firm –be it from the industry or from competition- and determining the paths of action in order to reach success; and ‘internal analysis’ refers to identifying performance leverages within a firm by assessing the available resources and determining paths of performance.

structure and organization, i.e. how a company is designed and manages projects. This includes central functions such as planning, management control and information systems. It also deals with employees’ commitment, corporate values and culture.

In short, Strategic management is the art of correctly positioning a firm in a turbulent environment in order to map out a path of unique and unmatchable excellence. It requires a great command of analytical frameworks and a rigorous mind.

OUR AMBITIOnOur HEC MSc Strategic Management aims to fulfill these objectives within a short period of time. This goal is met by building upon the specific knowledge and experience that our academic team brings to the program. They come both from HEC Paris’ outstanding faculty and from the best professionals working in top firms.

We offer two different tracks designed for students with either a business or non-business background: The business track is aimed at recent graduates with a degree

from a top institution in domains related to business administration, management, applied economics, or equivalent

The accelerated track is designed for students with no business related academic background, such as engineers, law, life science and medical studies.

students from both tracks are offered equal career opportunities at the end of the program.

PREPARATORy InTEnSIvE FREnCH COURSESStudents do not need to speak French to enroll in the program as all core courses and most electives are offered in English. However, some knowledge of French can be useful to enjoy the full HEC experience, become professionally bicultural and optimize networking with French students and alumni. This is why HEC Paris offers French language classes free of charge to its international students. Students may also register for a two week French language course (TEF certificate – all levels) in August. This is an exceptional opportunity to learn French before joining the Campus.

THE CAREER DEPARTMEnT AT yOUR SERvICELocated at the heart of the school, the career department strives to providing the best possible placement and business opportunities to all of our students. To do so, we have designed a 6-step career roadmap, which aims at helping our students explore their options, understand the job market and their personal priorities, and give them all the tools to achieve their goals.On top of that, we also provide our students with up-to-date job & internship opportunities, and organize many events throughout the year: company presentations, seminars, conferences, round tables, mock interviews with recruiters, career fairs…a few example of career events: Finance Career Fair (in October) Legal & Fiscal Career Fair (in October) Consulting Career Fair (in november) Alumni Career Fair (in January) General Career Fair: Carrefours HEC (in January)

Finally, we also connect our students with inspiring alumni, not only through a dedicated Alumni Fair in January, but also within the frame of a mentoring program.

THE HEC InCUBATORMany students develop exciting ideas for new businesses before, during and after their time at HEC Paris, but are sometimes deterred by the high risks that setting up a new firm might entail. The HEC Incubator helps participants manage these start-up risks so that they can pursue their ambitions with greater confidence. The Incubator program involves active mentoring from Faculty and Alumni, and is supported by a three-step pre-incubation phase. Throughout the ‘Introducing Entrepreneurship’, ‘Sandbox’ and ‘Springboard’ steps, participants can gather constructive feed-backs on their ideas before deciding whether to submit them for full Incubator selection.
