Who we are

MIP was created 30 years ago out of a partnership between the Politecnico di Milano and some leading businesses and institutions operating in Italy, and:

• it has as its objective the Innovation in Business Management and Public Administration;
• it reports to the Management Engineering Department of the Politecnico, where most of its faculty come from and with which it forms the School of Management;
• by taking advantage of the cooperation between the academic elements, the businesses and the institutions, it wants to promote high-level activities in the post-graduate and/or post-working experience training fields and to monitor the demands of qualified skills.

Being part of the Politecnico, MIP pays particular attention to technology (particularly up-and-coming technology) because of the role it plays in innovation. However MIP itself does not deal with technology. From its engineering tradition it has inherited an analytical approach to problems - particularly important in the complex contexts where businesses and public administration have to operate - and a project orientation, aiming to find concrete solutions to problems.
As well as the traditional products - the International MBA Full Time and the Executive MBA – MIP’s portfolio presents a variety of new products that give an idea of the breadth of interests of the faculty. Some examples include: the Master in E-Fashion; the Master in Supply Chain and Purchasing Management (Double Degree Mip and Audencia Nantes); the Master in Strategic Project Management (European); the Pegasus Programme (sponsored by Assolombarda) aimed at businesses wanting to train high potential managers and customizable to companies’ needs and the SUM - School of Management for Universities and research Bodies, aiming to train managers, executives and other high-potential staff from these institutions.

In the last few years MIP has grown a lot thanks to strength coming from its enlarged faculty and its product portfolio. It continues to attract engineers, but it increasingly attracts graduates from other areas (principally Economics).

We want MIP to keep growing and to remain at the forefront of new topics, in order to significantly contribute to our country's development.
