Università Roma Tre

The teaching is based on the analysis, discussion and interpretation of some case studies of organizational change implemented by large Italian and foreign companies that have been discussed and described in the "Organization Workshop" Research Program. Other case studies have been developed during the research activities carried out by the teacher. Case studies offer a broad spectrum of organizational change experiences: each case studies explain one or more of the following topics:
- work design and the transformations deriving from the impact of new digital technologies;
- how people are managed (human resource management);
- change in general organizational structures (for proprietary transformation, constitution of groups, internationalization processes, etc.);
- change in Unit structures (departments, organizational units);
- the design of business processes and their re-engineering;
- the design of company boundaries (outsourcing / activity integration choices);
- the organization of information systems and digital transformation's impact on organizational choices.
During the lessons of the course, each case is presented and examined collectively in order to highlight the specificity and characteristics of the organizational change adopted and to describe the solution concretely followed by the examined company. In a second moment, with the help of the bibliographical indications, the theoretical references are sought in the organizational literature that can help to understand and interpret the case, highlighting alternative solutions and alternatives of theoretical perspectives. Part of the course is dedicated to exploring the consequences of digital transformation and the use of new technologies on the design and implementation of organizational choices and to exploring the changes that these transformations are causing in people's work, in the contents of the main professions, in the growth of new professional profiles and in the development and organization of firm’s processes.
