Introduction to mathematical models, with applications to management.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Strategy : The course will allow students to analyse the financial and economic context of a complex situation. The course will allow students to understand the scientific and technological context of a complex situation. The course will allow students to demonstrate scientific precision and a critical mind in the analysis of a complex situation. Implementation : The course will train the student to capitalize on the characteristics of a more and more digitalized world when confronted with a complex situation. Quality and Performance Control : The course will teach the students to use the appropriate analytical tools when analysing a complex management situation. Adaptability : The course will encourage students to be curious and to show a scientific precision of academic level in their studies as well as in their professional life.
