COURSE OBJECTIVES

The rapid development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), especially Telecommunications and the Internet, has affected all companies, all organizations. Although Moore’s Law (doubling of the processing capability of computers every 18 months) has concentrated developments on the technology aspect in the last few decades, the future will be characterised by the implementation of ICT from the management point of view.

Management 2.0 is based on the idea that we must not only look to technological advances but also develop innovative managerial approaches. Management of the future is one based on the Internet and on telecommunications. Modern organizations are increasingly digital companies that base the development of both their market and their internal organization on the Internet (including Intranet applications). The Internet relies on telecommunications in terms of technological infrastructures and software.

The objective of this diploma is to train managers who will be able to optimize the use of telecommunications and the Internet. At the end of the diploma, managers will have the following skills: knowledge of the economic, managerial and technological dimensions of the impact of telecommunications and the Internet. These skills will be useful in any organization.
The course shows how ICT has developed. Participants will be able to integrate ICT in companies and organizations. Many companies seek managers who have both “technical” and “managerial” skills in the ICT field. In the next decades executives will be required to have an understanding of continuous technological change and to effectively introduce ICT into their companies or organizations.

The diploma is suitable for any candidate with an engineering background who wants to go into management, or, conversely, any manager in sales or administration who wishes to acquire a grounding in technology in order to become a senior executive in this sector. Job opportunities do not arise in “High Tech” companies alone, but also, and in the great majority of cases, in sectors where telecommunications and the Internet are crucial.
