- Providing the students with the opportunity to handle tools for the analysis and interpretation of organizations, through the study of the contributions produced by some of the major authors of organizational theory and of business cases that illustrate and highlight organizational issues and practices adopted for their resolution.
In order to introduce the students to the variety of concrete practices and to stimulate reflection on the articulation of the organizational choices to be faced, the course will combine:
traditional teaching methods (lectures), useful for framing the complexity of the topics dealt with;
exercises, carried out by the students, organized in team;
