MBA Business Strategy, Governance of Organizations and Resilience

Progress and the market have dictated the course of human societies since the era of industrial revolutions. Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth century, the main problem was development. The industrialized countries were the model to follow. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, limits of this dynamic began to appear. The vulnerability of a state is no longer merely measured by its difficulties in developing itself, as was the case during debates on North / South relations. Political and economic leaders must be able to respond to new needs generated by geo-economic constraints, market developments, financial crises and demands of socio-professional categories.

The survival of a population in a given territory is becoming a vital interest. Such an approach goes beyond the restrictive view of economic defense and highlights the imperfections in the definition of strategic interests validated by the European Commission. It also leaves the limits of the sovereignist current of thought which focuses on the notion of independence.

Resilience has hitherto been about how to evaluate the blow after the shock and how to find ways to recover. It seems decisive to us to apprehend the move before, during and after the shock, in order to make the right decisions to be weakened as little as possible and to anticipate the foreseeable problems.

Learning to think differently

Companies move with a crisis world where the development issue is completely linked to confrontation’s notion. This duality requires companies to research new kind of skills. This is the reason of being of Ecole de Guerre Economique since its creation in 1997.

The teaching at Ecole de Guerre Economique (EGE) articulates with 4 main values :

Optimise the research of information, identify the best experts sources, analyse a complex situation and produce a useful knowledge for decisions makers.

The Ecole of Guerre Economique is the only formation in business intelligence offering a very diversified panel of field exercises that are integrated into the strategy of the client. During the yeard, our students have to deal with concrete cases in a growing logic of difficulties.

The MercurIE professionalization program , which is central to the teaching of our school, is the longest exercise of schooling and is spread over seven months. This operational initiation is the necessary point of departure for our students to position themselves effectively on the job market. MercurIE's client companies are one of their best promoters for recruiters.

The EGE is also a school whose innovation is known in the field of information warfare. The growing cognitive dimension of commercial issues implies an introduction to information and influence operations. With this in mind, the Ecole de Guerre Economique prepares its students for an efficient use of information technologies, learning social networks and the changes of internet.
