PEOPLE MANAGEMENT
(objectives)
Knowledge has become the strategic asset for firms and organizations in the modern digital age. Thus, people are more and more central in the economic activity as they are able to share, combine, and produce new knowledge over time and across networks. The organizational ability to motivate people, and to engage them in knowledge sharing has gained strategic relevance. Moreover, the technological innovations have provided organizations with unprecedented digital tools to assist them. Thus, students will engage in active participation through exercises and project work in order to understand strategies of knowledge management, organizational conditions and enabling technologies. This course is designed to understand the role of data-driven knowledge within the contemporary economy, and to provide the students with a clear analysis of the production, distribution, and consumption of information-based goods.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
(objectives)
Since many years the debate on "Corporate Social Responsibility" (CSR) and "Sustainable Development" (SD) takes centre stage for companies, institutions, consumers, labor unions, and NGOs, which consider corporations as pro-active agents for the pursuit of sustainable development intended as an enhancement of the of social, environmental and economic well-being. Recently, Agenda 2030 promoted 17 goals to achieve globally the Sustainable Development. There is the need to prepare the next generation of managers and entrepreneurs to make the difference, becoming pro-active actors for changement.
The course examines principles, models, and tools concerning business ethics and sustainable development. The contents, refer also to the Agenda 2030 and are proposed through a triple approach that integrates three different perspectives: legal (Prof.ssa Sole), economic (Prof. De Muro) and managerial (Prof.ssa Renzi). The course aims to promote among the students the awareness about ethical issues and the ability to recognize and adopt sustainable and ethical behaviour in carrying out the managerial practices.

DE MURO PASQUALE
( syllabus)
The aim of the course is to present the main aspects of CSR and to promote among the students the awareness about ethical issues and the ability to recognize and adopt sustainable and ethical behaviour in carrying out the managerial practices. The course is organized in 3 modules that deliver 9 ECTS (60 hours lessons). The 3 modules will propose three different perspectives for studying and understanding the CSR and sustainability concepts:
1) Managerial module (Prof. Renzi);
2) Economics module (Prof. De Muro);
3) Juridical module (Dr. Sole).
Program
The course examines principles, models, and tools concerning business ethics, through a triple approach that integrates three different perspectives: economic, managerial and legal.
The Managerial module addresses the following topics:
* CSR Framework
* Strategic Management of Stakeholder Relationships
* Business Ethics and Ethical Decision-Making
* Strategic Approaches to Improving Ethical Behavior
* Consumer Relations
* Technology Issues
* Sustainability Issues
* Social Responsibility in a Global Environment
* Sharing Economy e gamification
The juridical module is intended to investigate CSR from a juridical perspective, the evolution of the sources of law and the relationship between social responsibility and legal responsibility.
Overview of the module: - Why CSR is on the Agenda today
- Legal Sources of CSR: International, European and National level
- From CSR to Sustainable development: functions and limitations
- The instruments of CSR: social rules and legal relevance
- Soft law and self-regulation
- The persistent skepticism about CSR: the role of Ethics
- The enforcement
- Environmental concerns as a driver of CSR
- Future perspectives
- Business case: an example of CSR application
The third module focuses on the relation between ethics, economics, and business, both in economic analysis and management. To do so, it makes three simple points. First, economics necessarily involves ethics, and economists and managers cannot engage in economic analysis and decision-making without making value judgments. Second, individuals have ethical values that shape their behaviour and affect what happens in the economy as a result of their interactions. Third, ethical values are involved in evaluating how an economy is doing and in making and appraising business decisions.
The lessons are interactive and will include classwork, case studies and project work.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE
(objectives)
The course aims to investigate the major issues related to the management of corporate knowledge, particularly with regard to information-intensive sectors and in the broader context of the knowledge-based view of the firm. Given the rapid obsolescence of the knowledge base, firms need to constantly renew their knowledge management strategies and practices. Thus, students will engage in active participation through exercises and project work in order to understand strategies of knowledge management, organizational conditions and enabling technologies. This course is designed to understand the role of data-driven knowledge within the contemporary economy, and to provide the students with a clear analysis of the production, distribution, and consumption of information-based goods.

MATHEMATICS OF DECISION MAKING
(objectives)
Main goal: develop skills and background to
- understand and formulate real-world problems;
- construct mathematical models that abstract the essence of real-world problems;
- solve the mathematical models of real-world problems.
Specific goals are detailed next according to Dublin descriptors.
- Knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, students are expected to know the fundamental aspects of quantitative methods involving operations research, mathematical programming and analytics as support to decision making.
- Applying knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, students are expected to know how to rely on mathematical programming techniques and computer software (e.g., Microsoft Excel) to practically address real-world problems in economics.
- Making judgements: the whole course is organized so as to make the students ask (themselves) the “right” questions. To achieve this objective, computer lab activities, exercise sessions, homework assignments, case study analyses are resorted to in a flipped classroom context.
- Communication: students are continuously invited to lead lectures and participate directly and actively in the learning process in flipped classroom schemes.
- Lifelong learning skills: lectures are devised to encourage self-motivated pursuit of knowledge. In fact, as detailed above, but also in the light of an ongoing evaluation approach, students are urged to develop a leading role during the lectures in a cooperative, as well as competitive environment.
