The Master is designed to develop the competencies of managers in a global business environment and is focused on the strategic planning of international operations.

Also during the talk was explained the Information Technology Governance for Tunisian Universities (ITG4TU) project whose objective is to bring together a group of researchers from four European universities (including UIB and UAL) with extensive experience in developing and deploying models of IT governance from three different countries (Spain, Germany and Norway) to develop, adapt and test a new framework of IT governance to be implemented in several Universities in Tunisia. The purpose of dissemination is to announce among the different stakeholder groups, both public and private, the activities carried out in the project in order to raise awareness of the importance of IT governance in any kind of organization.
