MSc INTERNATIONAL PURCHASING AND INNOVATION MANAGEMENT

Product life cycles get shorter and shorter. Innovation and “speed to market” have become essential. Firms look for new suppliers all over the world, in a constant search for innovation and cost effectiveness. Those trends demand a new breed of purchasing professionals.

These people must be trained accordingly, and this is what the MSc in International Purchasing & Innova-tion Management of the MAI offers.

Whatever your background may be, scientific or business, opting for a purchasing specialization won’t be seen as a career change but rather as a logical professional progression giving you the ability to thrive in an ever-evolving global context.
