I was wondering what you ended up picking also. The HEC masters seems not focused enough. A masters in a specific area people might understand, finance, accounting, etc but innovation and entrepreneurship ?
I would first ask people who have actually taken this or something close if it has actually helped them.
By HEC's description it sounds like you study their courses with no help for and then start your own project with some feedback. For this privilege you pay 20k Euros!
From the site:
The OMIE program is composed of two distinct parts. In part one, you will complete a series of self-paced, foundational courses. These foundational courses will help you identify and develop innovative and high-potential commercial opportunities, understand how to gather talent and capital, and manage rapid growth and significant risks using ethical decision-making skills. The program’s entrepreneurial perspective also provides insight about how to tackle new opportunities in social ventures, governments, and other projects.
In part two, you will complete a six-month project-based curriculum taught by HEC Paris faculty. The key objective is to help you transform your ideas into business reality, culminating in a final pitch. The project-based part of the program will enable you to apply all of the theories and practical expertise gained during the program to developing a new product, brand or organization. You will work on a team project (idea chosen by the team) from initial conception to commercialization, mentored by seasoned entrepreneurs and business leaders.
