01 / DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Director’s Message

The National Higher School of Management (ENSM) occupies a strategic position and continues to evolve in harmony with the development of the Algerian state and its adaptation to global geostrategic dynamics. The School stands as one of the key pillars for the education and development of highly qualified professionals with dual competencies, thereby providing the labour market with managers operating at strategic, middle-management, and operational levels, both within national enterprises and multinational corporations.

Furthermore, the School has established itself as a key institution in the education and development of graduates specialized in entrepreneurship, leadership, and innovation. This further strengthens its distinctive identity, built around and promoted through the development of dual competencies.

The School has become an effective driver of the country's economic policies and actively contributes to their implementation through a diversified educational offering focused on management, governance, entrepreneurship, and innovation. In this respect, it has positioned itself as an essential stakeholder in all initiatives related to economic development and growth, while remaining continuously committed to meeting the requirements of the labour market and the needs of public authorities, particularly through its programmes in e-governance, transparency, and the fight against corruption.

The School benefits from a highly qualified and diverse human capital, enabling it to provide innovative and continuously evolving education through modern programmes that support the development of the country and its institutions.

The School’s History

At the beginning, the school opened its doors in temporary premises in central Algiers, while awaiting relocation to the University Pole of Koléa. The first class was launched in 2011, under the leadership of Professor Mohamed Chérif BELMIHOUB, offering three (3) Master’s programs: Organizational Management, Industrial Economics of Networks and Infrastructures, and a professional Master’s degree in Quality Management.

Additionally, the school organized PhD entrance exams in the aforementioned specialties, indicating its commitment to establishing solid academic research. Four years later, under the leadership of Professor Hasna Messaid, ENSM moved to the University Pole of Koléa. It expanded its programs with three new Master’s degrees in Human Resource Management, Strategic Management and Information Systems, and Marketing Management.

Three years later, ENSM introduced two new Master’s programs: Project Management and Entrepreneurship, and E-Government. A Master’s program in Supply Chain Management followed in 2019, together with new PhD training programs in Strategic Management and Information Systems.

In 2020, under the leadership of Professor Sidi Mohamed Sahel, ENSM enriched its academic programs with PhD training in Human Resource Management and Strategic Management and Information Systems, complementing the existing Organizational Management programs.

In 2022, the school added a Master’s in Corporate Financial Management. Under the leadership of Dr. Mounir BELALI, ENSM began an ambitious digital transformation, starting with the digitization of enrollment processes. His leadership and active listening helped create a collaborative environment for professors, students, and administrators. A Governance and Anti-Corruption program was also launched, illustrating the school’s commitment to ethical and accountable leadership.

By 2024, ENSM offered ten (10) Master’s programs, demonstrating remarkable growth in thirteen years. Its continued emphasis on communication, active participation, coaching, and the quality of training has helped form ambassadors who proudly uphold the school’s values. ENSM graduates now occupy strategic positions in Algeria and beyond, reflecting the rigor, discipline, and unwavering motivation at the heart of its educational approach.
