SECS-P/07 - BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING STUDIES
Period
primo semestre (lauree magistrali) dal Oct 4, 2021 al Dec 17, 2021.
Learning outcomes
The course aims to give to the students the knowledge of corporate sustainability (economic, social and environmental) and social responsibility topics, of the different kind of business models for sustainability (such as circular economy models, benefit corporations among the others) and of the main international standards and management and reporting tools presently available, in a context of stakeholder relationships and engagement. In reply to sustainable development, organisations are asked to change their business models and to widen the boundaries of their measurement and reporting practices, in compliance to recent institutional and regulation changes (such as the ONU’s Sustainable Development Goals –SDGs - or the recent regulation on benefit corporations and on non-financial reporting). At the end of learning process, students will know and be able to implement the sustainability business models, and to apply the international standards and tools to plan, manage, control and report sustainability issues in different organisational contexts; they will be able to structure an hypothetical process of implementation of the different models in a firm and to assess the quality of management and reporting tools already adopted by the firm.
Program
The teaching methods will include frontal lessons on the theoretical basis of Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainable Development and Corporate Sustainability, as well as on recent literature on Sustainable Business Models, dealing with sustainability implementation at strategic and operational business level.
Main international standards and guidelines on sustainability management and reporting will be examined.
Students could participate (though it is not mandatory) to group works deepening which will be assessed for the final exam.
Some entrepreneurs, consultants and managers will be invited to speak about their business experiences on sustainability and reporting.
