Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

The master’s thesis is a rigorous investigation and autonomous production that deals with a subject of interest for the business field, for yourself, and useful to the understanding of a changing world. Hence the topic you will search lies in the field of economics and management related to international business or cultural differences

It leads to synthesizing and expanding the knowledge acquired during the four to five-plus years spent in university. It demonstrates students' ability to take a critical step back from the specific problems they encounter in organizations.

Students choose the topics, guided by their advisor, who validates them. Students are encouraged to select a theme that suits their interests and is relevant to their professional goals. The master's thesis provides an opportunity for self-reflection and pushing the boundaries of one's thinking.

Formal requirements stipulate that the master's thesis be about 60 pages long, excluding appendices, unless otherwise instructed by the program/advisor. However, the number of pages is not as critical an issue as the quality of the work and its overall contribution.
