Sustainability skills are indispensable for any managerial figure, even those who are not specifically focused on the subject: knowing and paying attention to the implications of sustainable management is a fundamental requirement for the long-term value generation of any company.
The course aims at shaping professional figures that operate in both managerial and consulting roles, capable of interpreting the context in which companies operate and managing innovation through the lens of sustainability. During the Master's degree programme, students will acquire specific skills on company management, expanding their knowledge on individual company roles and on the company as a whole and in relation to its external environment, through a sustainability-oriented mindset.
The course builds skills in the following areas: corporate strategy, strategic planning and sustainability management, planning and control, non-economic and performance measurement, marketing, human resources management, business innovation systems, information and decision support systems, labour law, and technology management.
A highly valuable aspect of the Degree Course is the close relationship that is maintained with companies. Knowledge, in fact, is acquired through curricular teaching activities enriched by seminar activities and testimonials from outside experts.
