DEC in Business Management – Creative Industries Management (profile 410.X0)

at LaSalle College - Montreal Campus Canada

The Business management program (AEC) is designed for students interested in all aspects of business management and sales, either of a commercial establishment or a company.

Business management technicians are responsible for managing a business or supervising a sales team. The Business Management program was therefore conceived to teach students the main responsibilities of a professional in the field, including managing sales personnel, setting and meeting sales objectives, promoting and marketing products and services, and providing customer service.

Faced with the growth of service and trade companies, a specialized workforce trained in commercial management is required on the labor market. The Business Management DEC, lasting three years, meets this need.

This program aims to train generalists (technicians) who will master all aspects of commercial management and sales force management within a retail establishment or in a company. It aims to develop three types of profiles: management of a retail business, commercial or industrial representation, and independent management of a commercial establishment.

Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to put to use the skills acquired in different types of business establishments or within a company.

Costumes speak for themselves. They tell the story of a place, an epoch and most especially of a character. Whether it be a wandering knight, a nervous banker, you will be called to clothe them and bring them to life.

Conceptualizing a costume requires time travel in the past or into the future. Designing garments for an English family having a picnic on the banks of the Thames in 1776, or having to dress American political refugees exiled in Mexico in the year 2100 require extensive research.

In the cinema and television industry, costumes need to be produced in step with the scriptwriter. Knowing how to mimic the natural wear-and-tear of clothes during a short or long film and keeping the clothing style cohesive throughout will demonstrate your adaptability.

You may choose to specialize in costume design for cinema and television as of the fourth semester of your Fashion Design DEC program. Apply your talent and knowledge in the fields of cinema, television, circus and theatre.
