Guidelines for the Theses' Assignment and Supervision
Premise: Those students who wish to write their thesis in the General Management subject are kindly requested to read carefully the following rules. These guidelines are aimed at fostering a virtuous relationship between the students and their supervisor.
1) Theses on these subject can be requested only after the exam has been completed and when no more than 4 exams are left.
2) In principle, each thesis is composed of 1 chapter (about 30 pages). One-third of the thesis is mainly theoretical and needs to focus on one of the course's topics. Two-thirds of the thesis are practice-oriented and need to apply the theoretical background to a real-world analysis (especially through the case study method).
3. The student and her/his supervisor discuss (and hopefully agree) about the topic of the proposed thesis during their first meeting. In this regard, the thesis must always relate to one of the topics taught during the course. The student’s pro-activity in suggesting ideas is greatly appreciated. On this side, exploring the webpage containing the titles of the theses completed over time could help.
4. Once the topic of the thesis has been defined, the supervisor will guide the student through the supposed structure of the work (i.e. 1 chapter).
