COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course offers the opportunity to students to engage in research and study activities in an experimental, self-governed and highly interactive context. The course has two main aims: to consolidate and strengthen specific competencies acquired in the two years of the Msc curricula (Administration and Control; Management and Organization); to develop meta-competencies and cross-field abilities (such as the capacity to work in a group, work under pressure, respect strict and short deadlines, organize and manage time and workloads, take leadership positions, present a report to a board of directors, or technical committee and etc.).

The course is structured along project activities. These project activities require students to deepen the knowledge acquired in previous courses and to apply it to simulated or real case- studies, in an original and critical way. The specific content of projects demands the employment of competencies that encompass different subjects, ranging from economics, to management, organization, administration and control, law and statistics. Projects are presented by the project tutor at the beginning of the course and then they are developed within working-groups. Throughout the course the project tutor supervises the working-groups through revision sessions scheduled at the beginning of the course. At the end of the course students present their final reports simulating a relation to, for instance, a board of directors, a local committee, or a shareholder assembly.
