Learning unit contents
This course puts into practice the main models and techniques used to model how the whole value of an organisation is created and how it can be made sustainable and durable. It focuses on the strategic management of the organisation with a view to optimising its sustainable performance and long-term reliability, and shows which tools and models can be used to ensure the organisation achieves its long-term objectives.
It is divided into 3 sections:
- How is the value of an organisation created?
- How can this value be harvested?
- How can it be controlled and made sustainable in the long term?
Each of the 3 topics is prepared and presented by groups of 3 students as a maximum.
In addition, as they progress through the different stages of the course, these groups design, structure and then defend a personal entrepreneurial project, structured on the basis of the models seen in the course (Value Proposition Design and Business Model Canvas, Holistic Sustainability Model, Founding Principles of a Circular Economy).
