The Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Operations and Logistics Management provides students with exceptional training through advanced learning in organizational operations and supply chain logistics management. The program focuses on optimizing the efficiency of organizational operations by exploring the different roles and functions of stakeholders, including suppliers, partners, and customers, as well as the business system and supply chain management cycles.

The main objective is to establish a strategic positioning that enables organizations to achieve a sustainable and proficient value chain, ensuring a competitive advantage.

Students eligible for this program are those who have successfully completed an undergraduate academic program in business administration (i.e. holders of a bachelor’s degree) and wish to pursue graduate studies in one of the concentrations offered within this advanced master’s degree program.

The teaching methods for the different modules and courses at the Antonine School of Business (ASB) are based on a curricular perspective, mainly targeting knowledge building as well as competency and skill development. These methodologies prioritize course content and are not restricted to a single teaching pattern, promoting a learning environment that embraces a social constructivist approach.

Faculty members are keen on the process of transmission and acquisition of course content. Moreover, the knowledge construction process systematically takes precedence over all other aspects. The epistemological position of instructors takes into account the diverse economic and social backgrounds of learners.

The assessment system for course modules at the ASB allows students to progress at their own pace while considering the overall learning progress of the group. Assessment modalities are centered around 3 main categories: diagnostic, formative, and summative. The learning assessment is mainly conducted through continuous written tests throughout the academic semester. Partial examinations provide students with opportunities to redefine their progress and adjust their academic performance accordingly.

Courses include projects and research work prepared individually or in groups. Oral presentation and communication skills are often emphasized, taking precedence over other assessment modalities in several practical teaching units. The evaluation process ends with a summative assessment, where students take final examinations for each subject at the end of each academic semester.
