Bachelor Degree in Business Administration and Economics

Dear All,

finally I would like to thank you all very much for all the engagement, attention, and dedication across this long learning journey together.

Hopefully, all the activities which we have developed, all the speakers whom you have met, and all the talks which you have done will be an opportunity for personal and professional growth.

As said, whenever you need me, please come to my office hours, which will continue to be weekly planned in the "bacheca online".

Good luck with the General Management exam, good luck with the BAE bachelor, and good luck for your future!

All the best.

Dear All,

good evening. As a final summary regarding the next steps with the Practice Operations software, please read carefully what follows (and which we have already summarized this morning in the classroom):

1. module 4 has been opened todate at 11am. You will have unlimited attempts to practice, and also the other modules will remain opened until May, 26th;

2. As you know, to be considered for the extrapoints at individual level, the groups will need to be present in the classroom on May, 26th, 2pm. The classroom will be communicated in due time. On May, 26th, 2pm, the groups will perform the final module "Maximize Net Worth", which includes the 4 modules all together; On that day, the module will remain open for 4 hours. During this timeframe, each group will be able to perform the final module as many times as it wants. However, only the latest result achieved will be formally registered;

3. If one (or more) person/s of a group cannot be present on May, 26th, the group can still perform the final module, but that/those person(s) will not receive individual extrapoints. The extrapoints will remain valid for all the 2024/25 academic year (Winter session included);  

4. The course website now also contains the slides regarding the McGraw Hill software (the file is dated April, 30th). On p. 4, as mentioned again to date, you can find the assignment weights.

For any further inquiry about the software, please get in touch with Dr. Anastassia Zannoni (anastassia.zannoni@uniroma2.it).

Thanks and all the best.

Dear Groups participating to the Accenture Challenge,

good morning.

The Accenture team has reviewed all the works received and has found all of them interesting and well executed.

Based on a combined mix between contents’ quality, clarity and data visualization, the Accenture team invites the groups with the following contact persons to further deliver, as anticipated, a quick presentation on April, 29^th, 9am in the classroom:

1) Capobianco; 2) Mucmata; 3) Quadrana; 4) Silvaggi; 5) Potenti; 6) Bertotti; 7) Grimaldi; 8) Markaj.

On this premise, please read carefully the following rules:

1) The order of the presentations will be decided on a random basis during the presentation day;

2) Each group will have total freedom to decide how many group members will speak;

3) For organizational reasons each group will have no more than 6 minutes to present. Each presentation will be then followed by a quick Questions & Answers session with the Accenture team.

4) All the groups will already find the presentations uploaded on the same laptop usually used in the classroom.

Important, to acknowledge the interesting work done by all the groups who have sent their presentation to the Accenture team, during the presentation day all the group (either presenting or non-presenting) members will receive a certificate of attendance to the Challenge.

I do hope everything is clear.

If there are doubts, we will have time to speak on April, 28^th in the classroom.

Best wishes and enjoy the ween end.
