BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
(objectives)
The objectives of the course are consistent with the general objectives of the Bachelor in Business Economics (CLEGA). GOALS of the course The course aims to reach the following goals: - to highlight the peculiariaties of the "Organization" as a field of study and the specialized studies of "Business Organization"; - to provide some essential cognitive elements for dealing with the study of organizational literature and its evolution; - to develop and to deepen the main thematic areas which, according to the distinction adopted in the mainstream approach, refer to the teaching of Business Organization, i.e. organizational design. In particular, the following organizational design choices will be analyzed in detail: work organization, work processes (intra-organizational relationships design), business structures, information systems and organizational boundaries (inter-organizational relationships design). - frame the problems of "personnel management" and "management of organizational change" (issues that are the subject of in-depth study in the teaching of organization of master's or graduate’s degree courses); - offer to students the opportunity to take advantage of tools for the analysis of the reality and to improve their ability to intervene on realities, tackling the study of both texts (produced by important authors of organizational theory) and business cases that highlight organizational issues and practices adopted for their resolution. The teaching will be addressed through traditional teaching methods (frontal lessons) useful for framing the complexity of the topics covered, accompanied by exercises, team and individual work carried out by the students, company testimonies and case analysis, aimed at presenting the student with the variety of concrete practices and to stimulate reflection on the articulation of the organizational choices to be faced.
