- Assessment
The assessment takes place through a written test, consisting of 5 open questions on the topics covered during the course. The evaluation of the responses will take into account the degree of knowledge of the topic, the completeness and the clarity of exposition.
The student must answer the questions in order to demonstrate: - to know how to frame the studied concepts; - to have acquired the mastery of the issues and concepts dealt with during the course; - to be able to apply these concepts for the purposes of understanding, critical evaluation and the solution of situations and problems related to the strategic governance of companies; - to be able to explain their arguments rigorously and in limited time, using an appropriate and concise language. The assessment of the student's level of preparation will be carried out taking into account the evaluation of each individual exam question (maximum 6 points for correct answer), of possible in-depth analysis with a couple of oral questions and of the work done by the student (if attending) during the year (maximum 2 points higher than the final evaluation). The time available to answer written questions is 135 minutes.
