Description
Ce cours aborde le champ de l'accompagnement entrepreneurial en contexte d'innovation. Il s'agit de se familiariser aux formes et techniques d'accompagnement pour entrepreneurs/intrapreneurs et permettre l'acquisition des habiletés requises pour de futurs professionnels impliqués dans l'écosystème.
La démarche entrepreneuriale est aujourd'hui suffisamment connue pour autoriser un apprentissage s'inscrivant de façon spécifique dans les différentes phases de création, de démarrage, ou encore de développement de projet. En revanche, l'accompagnement entrepreneurial demeure un champ récent dans la littérature et peu envisagé en termes de formation au métier. Ce cours vient donc combler ce besoin de mieux maîtriser les concepts et pratiques pour de futurs professionnels du soutien. Ce cours propose aux étudiants la réalisation d'un mandat d'accompagnement en situation réelle.
Themes covered
- Introduire à l'accompagnement entrepreneurial en contexte d'innovation.
- Connaître les concepts et méthodologies liés à l'accompagnement entrepreneurial.
- Comprendre les différentes postures possibles pour un accompagnement entrepreneurial (coaching mentorat individuel et de groupe).
- Définir des modalités d'actions pour un accompagnement entrepreneurial de l'entrepreneur/équipe en lien avec son écosystème.
- Définir et réaliser un mandat d'accompagnement entrepreneurial.

Description
This course enables students to learn and practice advanced research concepts and methods in the field of user experience.
In this course, students will acquire advanced skills in user research. By taking into account the practical tools and theoretical concepts presented in this course, students will develop the skills necessary to implement a user research process adapted to the context and responding to the needs of the situation. To achieve this goal, they will use, in addition to traditional user research methods, more advanced user research methods (e.g. facial emotion analysis), while developing their skills to optimize the quantity and quality of information collected through to the use of these methods. Finally, the practice-oriented approach of the course will allow students to prepare for the realities of user research projects in academia or industry.
Themes covered
Define a user research problem and identify the research steps necessary to resolve the problem.
Identification of the advantages and disadvantages of data collection methods considering the needs of the research team and the context.
Implementation of quantitative and qualitative research methods to collect user data (eg interviews task analysis)

Description
This course aims to introduce or review the essential mathematical concepts, techniques, and tools necessary for understanding scientific literature and conducting research activities in various fields of quantitative management.
The topics are presented, starting from basic notions, in increasing order of complexity. The range of concepts covered does not allow for in-depth exploration of each; the objective is rather to foster understanding of the concepts and to introduce the contexts in which they are used.
The course includes an introduction to the fundamental mathematical concepts required for advanced studies in quantitative management: terminology, functions, matrix notation, random variables, systems of equations, and calculus. It then presents the foundations of optimization (models and methods) and statistical data analysis (estimation, forecasting, inference).

Description
This seminar recognizes the centrality of literature reviews in doctoral research preparation and aims at deepening and broadening students' understanding of what literature reviewing entails.
This seminar is intended for doctoral students in the fields of management, strategy, human resources, organizational development, accounting, marketing, information systems, entrepreneurship, innovation management, international business, and logistics and operations management, who are interested in broadening their knowledge of research synthesis methods and in receiving formal training in how to conduct and evaluate literature reviews. It complements a number of research methods (quantitative and qualitative) and theory building seminars currently offered in the joint doctoral program. Indeed, although literature reviews are important in research methods and theory building courses, they are not their primary object of study, as they are in this seminar.
Themes covered
Origins and centrality of the literature review as a research method
Research as conversation and types of scientific contributions
Initial exploration of the literature and the review protocol
Searching the literature
Screening studies
Extracting data and synthesizing findings
Big picture reviews
Reflective and critical reviews
Theory-driven reviews
Evidence-based reviews
Role of AI and Gen-AI in the conduct of literature reviews
