Sustainability, digital transformation, technological revolution: in an ever-changing environment, interpreting change and turning it into opportunities requires creativity, strategic vision and entrepreneurial skills. The speed with which new trends develop makes it necessary to be able to read these changes and create innovative solutions, putting innovation at the center of one's work.

During the course, students will gain in-depth knowledge in business administration and entrepreneurship/innovation.
These two pillars form the foundation of the academic pathway, providing students with the skills needed to excel in various facets of the corporate world. This combination of academic knowledge and practical application will best prepare them to become the change agents in tomorrow's corporate world.
With a 'learning by doing’ teaching methodology, characterized by integrated project works which allow the theoretical concepts learned in the classroom to be put into practice, MISA aims to train a new generation of leaders capable of successfully meeting the challenges of the ever-changing corporate world.

Highlights
Structure and calendar
24th edition 2026-2027
Warm-up is a preparatory phase devoted to basic topics, addressed either through distance learning or through self-study of materials selected by Faculty. At the end, there is a follow-up test with evaluation.
This phase aims to consolidate a common knowledge base on a number of key topics throughout the training, including competitive strategies, analysis of budget results, and skills in organization, marketing, finance, and entrepreneurship. There are also courses dedicated to developing teamwork skills, effective communication in public, and the use of databases.
This phase is devoted to developing knowledge of key management practices through three interdisciplinary modules:
Operational excellence: related to processes and control systems for continuous improvement of business activities in production and service areas.
Growth Strategy: the basics of building the company's growth strategies (internationalization, acquisitions and M&A, private equity and IPOs) and their evaluation.
Beyond the core: approaches and methodologies to explore new opportunities for launching innovative products and services, changing business models and innovating processes.
This phase represents the application core of the Master program. This is a key time to confront real projects, face concrete business innovation challenges, and touch on the processes and strategies that can lead a business to change, grow and develop.
In particular, this session of MISA is devoted to the practical application of three key themes:
Creativity and design thinking
It stimulates entrepreneurial attitude and allows you to experience firsthand the launch of a start-up, developing all stages of its creation, with final presentation in front of potential investors.
Evolving scenarios
