Description
Organizational structure and legal constraints which firms may face in different countries affect their business performances. Whilst the organizational change and the impact of legal measures are extensively studied, their intertwined effects are difficult to evaluate. Especially with regard to operational decisions, there is some evidence that the business administration needs to be integrated with a legal analysis and the legal studies need to be integrated by a management design.
Accordingly, the Autumn School "Management and Eco-innovation with EU Law" aims at providing the participants with some instruments and skills to identify, plan and implement business strategies in order to minimize adverse consequences and to increase positive effects of legal measures.
The course is particularly designed to appeal to young graduates and professionals from all over the world, dealing with the opportunities of the European institutional framework and the demands of European business.
The Autumn School further comprises a one week executive seminar, characterized by the theme of the “Management of innovation”. When products and services incorporate intangible assets, the business management has to change from the ideation to the marketing with an active intervention of law in order to control the intangible assets and to optimize their valorisation. In light of the highly specialized content of this programme, the course envisages active cooperation with the Turin Chamber of Commerce, with special focus on the involvement of innovative enterprises.
The training approach includes frontal lectures, practical cases presented by experts and a final workshop.
Full time attendance is required for the entire duration of the course. Lectures and training activities are held from 9.30am to 5pm.
