| KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE METHODOLOGICAL-QUANTITATIVE KNOWLEDGE AIMED AT ANALYZING BUSINESS MODELS IN A CONTEXT IN WHICH THE MERE LOGIC OF PROFIT MAXIMIZATION IS REPLACED BY A TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE APPROACH, COMBINING ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY. STUDENTS WILL LEARN HOW CONCEPTS SUCH AS CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND BUSINESS ETHICS CAN BE USEFULLY COMBINED WITH THE ECONOMIC-FINANCIAL ISSUES THAT TRADITIONALLY CHARACTERIZE A COMPANY. --- APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING AT THE END OF THE COURSE, STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO SUGGEST AND IMPLEMENT TOOLS AND METHODOLOGIES TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN DIFFERENT BUSINESS CONTEXTS. STUDENTS WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO ANALYZE COMPANY PROCESSES FROM A SUSTAINABILITY PERSPECTIVE FOR THE PURPOSES OF DRAFTING INTEGRATED (FINANCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL) REPORTS. --- MAKING JUDGEMENTS THE STUDENTS, CALLED TO ANALYZE EXISTING CASE STUDIES AND THEN TO DEVELOP A PROJECT, WILL BE ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY MAKE DECISIONS ON THE DESIGN OF A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODEL, EVALUATING THE DIFFERENT TRADE-OFFS BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC-FINANCIAL VARIABLES. --- COMMUNICATION SKILLS STUDENTS WILL LEARN TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, POLICIES AND RESULTS IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABILITY. STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP NOT ONLY TECHNICAL LANGUAGE ON THE TOPICS ADDRESSED, BUT ALSO NEGOTIATION, SYNTHESIS AND TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS, HAVING TO FACE CASE STUDY DISCUSSIONS IN THE CLASSROOM AND PRESENT THE DEVELOPED PROJECT AT THE END OF THE COURSE. FURTHERMORE, SINCE THE PROJECT ACTIVITY WILL BE CARRIED OUT IN GROUPS, THE STUDENTS WILL ALSO DEVELOP TEAM WORKING SKILLS. --- LEARNING SKILLS AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO BUSINESS CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE COVERED IN THE CLASSROOM AND WILL BE ABLE TO DELVE DEEPER INTO THE TOPICS STUDIED USING MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED. |
