| Course description | The course deals with and develops the complex of topics of a basic course of business organization and its fundamental concepts both with reference to public, private and non-profit companies, whether they are manufacturing or service providers. The theme of organizational planning integrates with what is brought by classical theories and analyzes relating to the operational contexts of companies, to interest students of a three-year CdS. Therefore, the topics under study are addressed making extensive reference to both the main organizational theories and making use of emerging managerial practices, thanks to the development of institutional relations with the entrepreneurial and social partnership involved in the academic training cycles. The importance of the continuous dialectic between business practice and organizational theory appears even greater in a period such as the current one characterized by extreme environmental volatility, by intense processes of globalization and interconnection, by a constant pervasiveness of information and communication technologies in industry and in services. The course therefore aims to overcome the gaps between theory and practice, positioning the theory with respect to business cases and defined problems, facilitating learning by inexperienced students, who can leverage first-hand experiences to understand the complex relationships existing in public and private organizations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Course Objectives and Expected Learning Outcomes (specifically: knowledge and understanding; applied knowledge and understanding; independent judgement; communication skills; learning ability | The aim of the course is to understand the organizational phenomena connected to the dynamics of companies both in public, private and non-profit contexts.
