Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)

Knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, the student must have acquired the knowledge and ability to understand the specifics of management and marketing processes as set out and represented in the study program. Understanding of the topics covered will be demonstrated through presentation skills, in the sense of personalized and in any case correct presentation also in the specific language, and the ability to autonomously develop examples. Knowledge and understanding will be fostered both with lectures and examples and through moments of comparison and debate in the classroom.

Applied knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, the student must be able to apply the principles, models, and strategies of business management appropriately, in different sector and market situations, with particular reference to:

. the fundamental criteria, methods, and techniques of corporate management, organization, and governance;

· the principles and methods of management and planning of marketing processes;

The development of analytical skills and outcome skills will be facilitated by discussions of business cases, group work, and in-depth seminars. Moreover, particularly through group work aimed at developing entrepreneurial ideas, the student will have developed an entrepreneurial attitude.

Making judgments: at the end of the course, the student must have acquired the ability to autonomously identify and evaluate the adoption of the most appropriate tools for corporate management and governance and its marketing processes.

Communication skills: at the end of the course, the student must have acquired clear and effective communication skills, thanks to a good command of the vocabulary related to the topics covered during the course, in order to interpret and communicate, both internally and externally of organizations, the management performance of the company. The specific vocabulary must be acquired through interventions by the student during the lessons, requested to this end by the teacher. Equally significant will be the group work carried out.

Learning skills: at the end of the course, the student should have developed good independent learning skills that allow him to:

· to deepen the conceptual tools and operational skills suitable for being applied to good corporate management and governance and to the correct management of corporate marketing processes.
