Human resources are increasingly central to the competitiveness of organizations and for the realization of full sustainable development. The course aims to provide solid basic knowledge related to the strategic value of a correct management of people within organizations, through: a) an examination of the main theories, with particular reference to motivational and behavioral theories; b) insights relating to the various personnel policies and illustrating the contents of the main activities in which the personnel policies are divided; c) a deepening of the impacts of digitization on HR policies. Students will develop concrete skills necessary to identify organizational needs and correct personnel management choices. In addition, real or realistic situations will be proposed to students, in order to develop critical and interpretative skills of organizational variables and implications related to the choices related to personnel management.
