Objectives
THE LABORATORY ACTIVITIES AIM TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH A FRAMEWORK OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES, TOOLS, AND TECHNIQUES OF TERRITORIAL MARKETING, DESIGNED TO PROMOTE THE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT OF GEOGRAPHIC AREAS WITH DIFFERENT VOCATIONS (INDUSTRIAL-MANUFACTURING, TOURISM-HOSPITALITY, ETC.), AS WELL AS THE CONCEPTS OF STRATEGIC PLANNING, AIMED AT REPRESENTING THE MEDIUM-LONG TERM SHARED OBJECTIVES OF A GIVEN TERRITORY.
IN THE FIRST MODULE, THE LOCAL DIMENSION - IN THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS GIVEN BY GLOBALIZATION - WILL BE ANALYZED THROUGH THE MOST ACCREDITED THEORETICAL MODELS, AS WELL AS THROUGH THE ELABORATION OF SYNTHETIC INDICES AND SPATIAL ANALYSIS METHODS (GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM - GIS) APPLIED TO CASE STUDIES, WHERE TO EXPLORE THE MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS OF TERRITORIAL CAPITAL.
IN THE SECOND MODULE, THE DISCUSSION OF PRINCIPLES, TOOLS, AND TECHNIQUES WILL HAVE A STRONG APPLICATION FOCUS, PLACING ITSELF IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF MARKETING DECISION-MAKING AIMED AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF TERRITORIES.
THE STUDENT WILL LEARN THE METHODOLOGIES USEFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE GEOGRAPHICAL AND DEVELOPMENT ASPECTS OF TERRITORIES, AND THE PROCESSES OF MANAGING THE DYNAMICS OF INTERACTION BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND STAKEHOLDERS OF A TERRITORY IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A SUSTAINABLE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE FOR THE ENTIRE TERRITORY. FURTHERMORE, KNOWLEDGE RELATED TO THE APPLICATION OF STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL MARKETING CONCEPTS IN DIFFERENT TERRITORIAL CONTEXTS WILL BE PROVIDED.
SPECIFICALLY, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO ORIENT THEMSELVES REGARDING: THE MEANING OF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT; GLOBALIZATION AND THE LOCAL-GLOBAL DYNAMIC; TERRITORIAL CAPITAL, THE HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT IN ITALY: TERRITORIAL PACTS, INTEGRATED TERRITORIAL PLANNING, INTEGRATED RURAL PLANNING, GIS LABORATORY; STRATEGIC TERRITORIAL MARKETING (TERRITORIAL MARKETING AND STRATEGIC PLANNING, THE DIFFERENT FORMS OF MARKETING APPLIED TO THE TERRITORY, THE DETERMINATION OF TERRITORIAL MARKETING OBJECTIVES; ANALYSIS OF COMPETING TERRITORIAL OFFERS; ANALYSIS OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE TERRITORIAL OFFER; THE CHOICE OF DEMAND SEGMENTS AND POSITIONING; THE TERRITORIAL MARKETING STRATEGY); OPERATIONAL MARKETING (THE OPERATIONAL MARKETING POLICIES OF THE TERRITORY, THE COMMUNICATION OF THE TERRITORY: FROM PLACE PERSONALITY TO PLACE IDENTITY, THE DYNAMICS OF PLACE IMAGE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF REPUTATION; THE CRITERIA FOR THE ARTICULATION OF THE COMMUNICATION MIX.
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS OF TERRITORIES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TRAJECTORIES, BOTH AT THE CONCEPTUAL AND OPERATIONAL LEVEL. IN THIS CONTEXT, STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO INTERPRET THE EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS OF TERRITORIES THROUGH MODELS OF ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT OF GEOGRAPHICAL AND MANAGERIAL CRITICAL THINKING.

THE COURSE AIMS TO ENHANCE THE ANALYTICAL SKILLS OF STUDENTS TO EFFECTIVELY APPLY THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS RELATED TO OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES AND TACTICS, PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT, AND EVOLUTIONARY TRENDS IN THE FIELD OF MARKETING AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT.

AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE STUDENT MUST POSSESS ADEQUATE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT REGARDING THE DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION, AND CONTROL OF THE TERRITORIAL OFFER SYSTEM.

IN TERMS OF COMMUNICATION SKILLS, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO REPRESENT AND COMMUNICATE THE RESULTS OF BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP PROCESSING THROUGH MULTIMEDIA REPRESENTATIONS.
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE MAIN DIGITAL TOOLS AND IT RESOURCES FOR DATA ANALYSIS, INTERPRETATION, AND PRESENTATION OF RESULTS.
