Learning outcomes
Obiettivo del corso è contribuire allo sviluppo di attitudini critiche nell’interpretazione dei fatti economici e aziendali, attraverso la conoscenza delle vicende economiche, imprenditoriali più significative dal 1945 al 2008. È importante che lo studente che si appresta ad affrontare il mondo lavorativo - oltre che di ottime conoscenze tecniche già fornite da altri insegnamenti - possa disporre di elementi basati sui fatti economici, che gli consentano un confronto il più ampio e realistico possibile sulla realtà dei comportamenti delle imprese, delle istituzioni, dei singoli imprenditori e dei consumatori, in breve di tutti i fattori che concretamente concorrono a determinare le caratteristiche del mercato. Tali conoscenze oltre ad avere una fondamentale valenza ai fini dello sviluppo di una coscienza civica personale - non meno importante nei processi di formazione - rivestono un’utilità pratica straordinaria, in vista delle scelte professionali e individuali dei laureati. In questa prospettiva durante il Corso gli studenti sono chiamati anche a prendere familiarità con strumenti di ricerca e lavoro quali le basi dati (Cerved e altri) o gli organi di informazione, al fine di potere autonomamente sviluppare una capacità a conoscere la realtà del mondo aziendale spesso coperto da interessi, non compatibili con una approfondita preparazione scientifica in ambito economico.
