The MSc in Management program is designed to train experts in evidence-based management by developing their applied research knowledge and skills in one of the following areas of concentration: Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Accounting, Organizational Behaviour & Human Resources (OBHR), Business Analytics and Marketing & Behavioral Science.Students must choose their particular area of concentration prior to admission into the program. The concentration will appear on the conferred degree of students who complete all of their concentration’s course requirements and whose thesis or research project topic aligns with that concentration.Our students are fully immersed in a learning experience that goes beyond the classroom and takes them out into the practical world, where they benefit from working with partners to make a real impact in their world. This exposure prepares our students to become a new generation of leaders ready to apply their learning to the world around them. Our faculty devotes themselves to conducting leading-edge research that produces the insights and ideas that we use to shape our unique curriculum.Apply research to understand how behaviour affects people’s green consumption (e.g., recycling and reusing), health (e.g., choosing food, exercise), happiness (e.g., spending time versus spending money) and wealth (e.g., shopping, saving, investing, donating). This concentration focuses on understanding, predicting and changing people’s behaviour. Gain the knowledge and technical skills you need to design, implement, analyze and interpret the outcomes of behaviour-changing interventions. Develop practical skills in methodologies such as experimental design and analysis, and in sophisticated statistical approaches such as predictive analytics. These skills will prepare you for behavioural research and management positions in many private and public organizations.
