For non-attending students and those who do not develop the PW, in addition to the reference texts, the following documents and articles are required:

1. Center For Creative Leadership, (2014), Leader effectiveness and Culture: The Globe Study. https://gdl29.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/globestudy.pdf
2. OECD. (2015). Principles of Corporate Governance https://www.oecd.org/daf/ca/Corporate-Governance-Principles-ENG.pdf

The course is divided into two modules A first module is about multivariate statistics, i.e. it aims to illustrate some multivariate statistics methods and - above all - some applications.
The second module (which takes place in parallel to the first one) aims to teach how to apply these methods by means of software R

Topics dealt with in the first module (prof. S.Terzi):
The first lessons will be dedicated to the summary of basic statistical concepts (such as variance, covariance, correlation, linear combinations) and matrix algebra.
We will then move on to the study of possible syntheses of the data matrix: principal component analysis; cluster analysis.
Finally, after a brief summary of simple bivariate regression, we will move on to the study of multiple regression.
Much emphasis will be placed on case studies.

Topics dealt with in the second module (prof. F. Fortuna):
Introduction to the main commands of R and R-studio;
principal component analysis, cluster analysis and linear regression in R. Discussion of study cases.

Lecture notes and slides will also be provided by the teachers.

The course mainly consists in classroom lectures, case discussions, simulations, and practical exercises; in the second part of the course, selected presentations about real-life experiences will be offered by outside speakers.
The course aims at providing students with a good understanding of the theory and practice of entrepreneurship.
During the course, students develop a business plan.

A Business Planning textbook
The papers published on Moodle are a part of the teaching material.

This graduate level course provides an introduction to the basic concepts of probability, common distributions, statistical methods, and data analysis. It is intended for graduate students who have one undergraduate statistics course. Upon completion of this course students will:

- Appreciate and understand the role of statistics in their own field of study.
- Develop an ability to apply appropriate statistical methods to summarize and analyse data for some of the more routine experimental settings.

- Make sense of data and be able to report the results in appropriate table or statistical terms for inclusion in your thesis or paper.

- Perform appropriate statistical techniques using Minitab and Hugin and interpret the results/outputs.

Strengths of the course:
Software: R, Minitab, Hugin
Project work on a data set relative to your studies.

Topics:
- Introduction to sampling techniques;
- Simple and multiple linear model;
- Generalized linear models (logistic and linear-logistic models);
- Analysis of variance (ANOVA);
- Contingency tables and tests for Independence and Goodness-of-Fit;
- Decision support methods. Decision trees. Bayesian networks and decision networks. Learning networks. Applications to real cases.
-Methods for exploratory multivariate statistics such as factor analysis, cluster analysis.

During the course will be analyzed practical cases about different types of contracts, such as smart working, fixed-term contracts, procurement contracts, temporary agency work, apprenticeships, independent work etc. The hypothesis of conciliatory agreements and salary modification agreements will also be examined. The course aims at devoloping a good ability to analyze the contractual text, recognizing the essential requirements of the contractual type examined, also making the necessary distinctions between similar types

During the course it will be used a several type of documents, such as many examples of contracts, judgements, administrative practice.

Slides and articles on Moodle

The course is developed in three parts: an institutional module, an in-depth module; seminars and meetings with the protagonists.
The institutional module aims to provide the basic concepts and the theoretical framework of the sociological work and organizational disciplines and to analyze the interconnections with other disciplines which have as their object the study of work, production organizations, human resource management and industrial relations.
There will be an in-depth analysis of the change of work in the world, in relation to the development of innovative organizational and managerial cultures, with particular attention to the aspects related to the constant demand for an increase in flexibility and productivity and the strategic importance assumed of soft and transversal skills in the new production processes.
The in-depth module, instead, aims to analyze the concepts and evolution of the negotiation and industrial relations in Italy and on an international level:
1. The transformations of work from a sociological point of view and the conceptual framework relative to the evolution of organizational models and cultures: from Taylor-Fordism to Total Quality Management and networking organizations;
2. The evolution of human resource management policies and tools in search of a new paradigm of reference: the person at the center of the processes;
3. Leadership and management of social-organizational processes in innovative enterprises and virtuous Public Administrations: The Strategic Role of Communication and Lifelong Learning;
4. The development of industrial relations in Italy: the sociological dimension of the economic, legal and institutional framework; the actors of industrial relations; the evolution of collective bargaining; industrial relations and participatory model; labour relations in Public Administrations.
In the final part of the course, seminars will be organized with the protagonists (corporate executives and managers of organization and development of human resources, representatives of trade unions) on issues of organization, training and development of skills, negotiation and regulation of employment relationships in innovative companies and virtuous public administrations.

Given the complexity of contemporary organizational contexts, increasingly characterized by network structures with high organizational and technological complexity, the advanced Sociology of Organizations module intends to dwell in particular on the thrusts introduced by the whirling digital innovation process.
In continuity with the course of Sociology of the organization (6 - CFU Prof. Cocozza), which presents the theoretical frame of reference of the sociological organizational disciplines and the new organizational models that tend to increasingly recognize the person as a strategic lever of development, the advanced module focuses in particular on the complicated relationship between organization, technological transformations and society with the intent to understand the implications for organizations and for work.
The advanced module looks at organizations and works in the information and knowledge society which stands out, as suggested by Castells, for its being: informational, global and reticular.
The module aims to offer students in addition to the necessary theoretical framework of reference also the possibility of measuring themselves with a working methodology that increasingly requires subjects to be active and decisive carriers of conditions of tumultuous change and uncertainty that characterizes modern organizations in the global scenario. For this reason the laboratory privileges the active and dialogical methodology where the students themselves become protagonists of the "discovery" and the sharing of the acquired knowledge; useful methodology to develop communicative, relational and reflexive competences, today fundamental for living and working in a complex society.
The course, therefore, includes in-depth thematic analyzes through individual and/or group project work.
Non-attending students will be able to select a text from those indicated and prepare a critical summary (written analysis) to be sent to the teacher two days before the exam and discuss during the interview.
