Moreover students will be able of understanding business problems and the consequent management choices, especially with reference to innovative processes.

All the courses provided are taught as multi-method courses. This choice derives from the intention to encourage the construction of personal approaches and methodologies consistent with the scenarios to which the designed training profile intends to address, characterized by multidisciplinary team work for the resolution of complex problems.

The course is designed to be particularly interactive and to involve students from the first lessons, in the belief that discussion and interaction represent important ways of learning. In particular, this interaction can prove particularly effective in a course that involves the participation of students from different countries, with differentiated backgrounds and unique individual experiences, whose exchange is itself a moment of enrichment and acquisition of skills.
