Learning objectives
The main purpose of the course is the economic analysis of firms, and in particular their interaction with competitors, suppliers, customers, consumers, the regulator, as it might be inspired by real cases. The main objective is to train students for a critical reading of these economic phenomena and of the relevant economic sectoral policies. The course investigates firms’ choices using the tools of microeconomics and game theory. In particular, special emphasis is placed on choices regarding price discrimination, product differentiation and innovation, on the relationships with suppliers and the distribution, on online platforms, to see how these choices can modify business environment and the business models available and followed by firms. It is an applied course designed for students interested in the functioning of firms and who will then pursue managerial or consultant positions. The discussion will then be motivated and accompanied by the study of business and other cases, of productive sectors and of major economic policies, as in the tradition of Economics departments of major Business Schools. ALL classes and tutorials will be in ITALIAN.

Bibliography
Didactic methods
The adopted teaching methods consist of:
- lectures, through which the main theoretical concepts are explained,
- exercises, to apply theoretical knowledge,
- discussions of business cases, to relate theory with business strategies,
- participation to a 'competitive game' of competition between companies (Competitive Strategy Game), to learn how to work in a team and apply the concepts learned in a dynamic and stimulating context.
During the course there will be interventions by some company representatives and / or qualified operators.
Office hours by the teacher are available throughout the academic year. The content of the textbook, slides and tutorials are part of the program. Further teaching material is available on the teaching e-learning platform.
Learning assessment procedures
Consistently with the course content, the final exam includes a WRITTEN examination in which the student is asked:
a) to solve analytically some exercises,
b) to answer to multiple choice questions on the theory, and c) to answer a question related to economic news, that is to critically comment current events related to the economic topics of the course.
An INTERMEDIATE exam is planned, and it will weight 50% of the written exam.
Evaluation criteria
Moreover, students are required to prepare an ESSAY (CASE STUDY) on the business model in an international context of a firm of their choice, developing a document of about 1,000 words which must be submitted on the day of the examination. Case studies can be carried out in groups ranging from 2 to 4 students. Each student must be part of one and only one group.
Last but not least, students will have the opportunity to participate in the COMPETITIVE STRATEGY GAME. Developed by the Haas School of Business of the University of Berkeley (USA), it allows groups of student to compete in entering different markets.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
For the overall grade of the exam, therefore, any bonuses determined as follows can be added to the grade of the written exam:
i) essay (or case study) - compulsory. The evaluation of the essay takes place on a scale of thirty, which leads to the following bonuses: if insufficient (<18/30), -1 points; if 18-20/30, 0 points; if 21-23/30, points 1; if 24-26 out of thirty, points 2; if 27-30 out of thirty, points 3.
ii) Competitive Strategy Game - on a voluntary basis. It entitles you to 1-3 points, depending on a) constant participation (1 point), b) preparation of an adequate report (1 point), and c) victory in your group (1 point).
In summary, the FINAL VOTE therefore includes:
1. the grade obtained in the written test,
2. the score assigned to the compulsory case study,
3. a possible bonus for the optional Competitive Strategy Game.
BONUS DURATION All bonuses are valid for the four exam sessions of the academic year 2023-24, i.e., up to and including the Fall 2024 session.

Type D and Type F activities
Nei piani didattici di ciascun Corso di studio è previsto l’obbligo di conseguire un certo numero di crediti formativi mediante attività a scelta (chiamate anche "di tipologia D e F").
Oltre che in insegnamenti previsti nei piani didattici di altri corsi di studio e in certificazioni linguistiche o informatiche secondo quanto specificato nei regolamenti di ciascun corso, tali attività possono consistere anche in iniziative extracurriculari di contenuto vario, quali ad esempio la partecipazione a un seminario o a un ciclo di seminari, la frequenza di laboratori didattici, lo svolgimento di project work, stage aggiuntivo, eccetera.
Come per ogni altra attività a scelta, è necessario che anche queste non costituiscano un duplicato di conoscenze e competenze già acquisite dallo studente.
Quelle elencate in questa pagina sono le iniziative extracurriculari che sono state approvate dal Consiglio della Scuola di Economia e Management e quindi consentono a chi vi partecipa l'acquisizione dei CFU specificati, alle condizioni riportate nelle pagine di dettaglio di ciascuna iniziativa.
Si ricorda in proposito che:
- tutte queste iniziative richiedono, per l'acquisizione dei relativi CFU, il superamento di una prova di verifica delle competenze acquisite, secondo le indicazioni contenute nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività;
- lo studente è tenuto a inserire nel proprio piano degli studi l'attività prescelta e a iscriversi all'appello appositamente creato per la verbalizzazione, la cui data viene stabilita dal docente di riferimento e pubblicata nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività.
COMPETENZE TRASVERSALI
Scopri i percorsi formativi promossi dal Teaching and learning centre dell'Ateneo, destinati agli studenti iscritti ai corsi di laurea, volti alla promozione delle competenze trasversali: https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
ATTENZIONE: Per essere ammessi a sostenere una qualsiasi attività didattica, inlcuse quelle a scelta, è necessario essere iscritti all'anno di corso in cui essa viene offerta. Si raccomanda, pertanto, ai laureandi delle sessioni di dicembre e aprile di NON svolgere attività extracurriculari del nuovo anno accademico, cui loro non risultano iscritti, essendo tali sessioni di laurea con validità riferita all'anno accademico precedente. Quindi, per attività svolte in un anno accademico cui non si è iscritti, non si potrà dar luogo a riconoscimento di CFU.
