In the heart of business

"An international, inter-functional and inter-sectoral course, which integrates the technical dimension with the strategic and organizational one". The degree program in Business Administration and Management, as explained by director Angelo Ditillo, associate professor in the Department of Accounting at Bocconi University, "teaches you to understand how businesses work, based on the different business functions (organization, logistics, marketing, finance, control, production, etc.), to the classes of companies (commercial, manufacturing, service, public administration, etc.) and to the economic contexts in which they operate. It offers, to summarize, a complete vision and prepares students to become good international managers." The course, in fact, even if delivered in Italian, is to all intents and purposes an international program: "Most of the skills are not strictly related to the Italian context", says Ditillo, "but they are valid in any environment. The teaching tools are international, as are the cases presented during the lessons, which concern companies operating all over the world. In fact, it enables the acquisition of methods of analysis and tools for the management of business processes in rapidly evolving markets and in international and multicultural contexts ". As regards the subjects taught, the program proposes a good balance between quantitative disciplines and others of a strategic and organizational nature. It is a wide-ranging course that opens up infinite perspectives: "There are those who continue studying management, some do administration, finance and control or economics and legislation for business, some do marketing management. It is the right program for those who want to open up more opportunities ".

Another important feature, continues the director, "is that the skills taught can be applied in various contexts, from innovative startups to consulting firms, to large complex organizations. Another strong point, " says Ditillo again," is the frequent use of company guests during the lessons, a sign of the strong bond we want to maintain with the business community." There is another strong point that distinguishes the program, and Angelo Ditillo is particularly proud of this: "It offers a perspective that helps to understand the evolution of technologies, markets and the economic context, essential characteristics for competing in an environment as uncertain and constantly evolving as the current one ".
