Teaching methods
Academic classes based on textbook & articles, plus simulations and web materials. Case studies will be discussed for going closer to practice.
Exam Rules
The assessment is looking both at the knowledge of the theoretical models and at the capability to use these models to analyse the business cases.
For attending students, the assessment is based on:
- a written test made of four open questions from the slides and the readings (80% of the final mark)
- a group assignment on innovation for sustainability - class assignment (20% of the final mark)
In case the class will have the chance to participate to an international competition on sustainable innovation, such a participation will be weighted 40% of the overall grade (meaning the written test will weight 40%).
For non-attending students, the assessment is based on:
• a written test made of six open questions (100% of the final mark). Three questions will be on the textbook and two questions from the readings.
In case students doing the group assignments do not reach the 80% attendance in class as required to be full attending student, they will maintain their evaluation as to the assignments while but will have to take the written test as a non-attending student (meaning programme six questions on an extended programme) and such a written test will weight 80%.
In case the class will have the chance to participate to an international competition on sustainable innovation, such a participation will be weighted 40% of the overall grade (meaning the written test will weight 40%).
