Department Overview
This second year course is required for students enrolled in the dual degree program Glendon/Emlyon. It builds on the knowledge acquired in the
first year Introduction to management course, to provide students with foundational knowledge in project management. It complements very well
the required courses in the International Studies program especially within the ‘Resources and Wellbeing’ pillar. Therefore, this course will be also
of interest to students majoring in International studies. In addition, as many organizations in the private sector and the public sector are now
using projects as tools to implement and achieve strategic goals, to innovate and to respond to customers changing needs, this course will be also
of interest to students majoring in business economics and in any other program offered at Glendon, that meet the course prerequisite
requirements.

Justificatif du département
Ce cours de deuxième année est requis pour les étudiants du programme conjoint Glendon/EmLyon. Il s’appuie sur les connaissances acquises dans
le cours de première année d’Introduction en gestion pour fournir aux étudiants les connaissances de base en gestion de projet. Il complète très
bien les cours du programme en études internationales, particulièrement dans la cadre du pilier ‘Ressources et Bien-être’. Par conséquent, c’est
un cours d’intérêt pour les étudiants du programme en études internationales. Plusieurs organisations des secteurs public et privé utilisent de plus
en plus l’approche projet pour mettre en œuvre et atteindre leurs objectifs stratégiques, innover et répondre aux besoins évolutifs de leurs
clients. Par conséquent, ce cours pourra également être offert aux étudiants des programmes en études internationales, en ‘business-economics’
et dans tout autre programme offert à Glendon, en autant que les prérequis du cours sont satisfaits.
