THE Purchasing MASTER of the Grande Ecole program
The Master’s in Purchasing is a specialization of the Grande École Program that teaches how to manage supplier relations to ensure reliable and efficient supply for the company. The course is designed for students with a keen interest in negotiation, analysis of figures and creative collaboration.
What if you had a multi-million euro shopping budget ? To a certain extent, that’s what a buyer has to do on behalf of his company to keep it supplied. Satisfying customers with products and services that live up to their expectations begins with an efficient, controlled purchasing process that feeds a supply chain without interruption.
