Gli studenti apprenderanno modelli e teorie per: - comprendere il legame tra corporate governance e successo sustenibile; - valutare come la corporate governance può influenzare il successo sostenibile in vari tipi di imprese; - progettare una buona corporate governance al fine di massimizzare il successo sustenibile in un'impresa.

Knowledge and understanding. The course will present theoretical frameworks and best practices to analyze corporate governance and sustainable success. Students should be able to understand the key corporate governance theories and topics presented during the course, and how they influence sustainable success. Applying knowledge and understanding. Being exposed to different active learning teaching methods (e.g., incidents, cases, project works, videos), students will learn how: (i) to analyze the corporate governance practices of specific companies; (ii) to assess if and how these practices may address agency problems and foster sustainable success; (iii) to advance proposals aimed at improving the corporate governance of specific companies in order to positively affect sustainable success. Making judgements. The use of active teaching methods will encourage students to collect and analyze data on corporate governance practices, so to assess their consequences on agency problems and sustainable success. Students will be also asked to present and explain their position on corporate governance practices of specific companies, and how they affect sustainable success. Communications Skills. Thanks to lectures in class and reading the textbook at home, students will learn key concepts, theoretical frameworks and topics related to corporate governance and sustainable success. Moreover, during highly interactive sessions (e.g., incident, cases, videos, presentation of project work) they will present their position and defend it in front of the class. Learning skills. The several teaching methods employed will allow students to develop a customized (i.e., “one size does not fit all”) approach in the analysis of the corporate governance practices and their influence on sustainable success. Thanks to high interactions in class, students will mature a critical assessment of their understanding of key concepts, theoretical frameworks and practices related to corporate governance and sustainable success.
