The Master of Science (Laurea Magistrale, LM-77) in Management of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MIE) of the University of Milan aims at providing students with theoretical knowledge and analytical tools to identify and develop entrepreneurial projects and exploit opportunities for innovation, change management, and organizational transformation.


The drivers of new business creation, the ability to identify business opportunities offered by the markets, the analysis of human, economic and financial resources needed to create and develop new projects represent key topics in the entrepreneurship field. Entrepreneurship and innovation are interwoven. Innovation is conceived in a broad sense, spanning from new knowledge generation to enter in new markets to the development of new products, processes and management approaches, based on innovative organizational solutions and competitive strategies.


Alongside the creation of new companies, the ability to innovate and seize the opportunities for investing in new markets by existing companies is a condition of success for the revitalization and expansion of more mature businesses.


The course structure is meant to strengthen the acquisition of knowledge and skills concerning the analysis and interpretation of business decision-making processes, with a specific focus on the design, implementation and evaluation of entrepreneurial and innovation processes taking place in a variety of industrial sectors where goods and services are produced.


The program adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the study of entrepreneurship and innovation. It offers a deep understanding of management disciplines (management control, strategic planning, corporate finance, business planning, marketing, corporate sustainability), economic disciplines (industrial economy, economic history), legal disciplines (business law and intellectual property rights), and quantitative methods (data analysis tools, essential for decision making, financial resources acquisition and market forecasting). Students will acquire knowledge and skills useful to guide the entrepreneurial and innovation process both in newly founded entities and in already existing organizations.


The overall design of the program requires, in addition to classroom learning through lectures and exercises, the active participation of students in innovative and entrepreneurial projects throughout the entire course of studies (for instance through entrepreneurship laboratories), and further developed during the internship and in the preparation of the final thesis. Teamwork will be an integral part of the entire program, to promote critical and collaborative thinking, thus setting the basis for a unique learning opportunity. Opportunities to meet and work with professionals and companies will be provided and actively promoted.


To guarantee the connection with the job market, the program's governance is composed by a Teaching Committee and a Steering Committee which includes professionals in consulting firms, companies and non-profit organizations, banks and funds. Members of the Steering Committee are also involved in the program courses through business games, projects, joint laboratories, guest lectures and similar initiatives.
