Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
The course gives a systematic understanding of the mechanisms of coordination and control of activities in business firms and organizations. Based on how people make decisions, the course discusses both the internal working of firms and their relations with their environments, as a function of the management of power and dependence relations. Power and dependence relations are in turn discussed as emerging from the pursuit of goals by actors that behave with intended and bounded rationality, in a context of uncertainties and interdependencies. At the end of the course the student: - knows how to design mechanisms for helping people take "good" decisions and for controlling the flow of activities; - knows the mechanisms of the planning of activities, both within and across the borders of the functional departments of the firm; - knows the strategies that can be used to manage the external dependencies of the business, and their implications for the internal operation of the firm.
