Master of Science in Business Administration

This course will be organized as a distance learning course: every week, the material for that week will be made available on the platform. The resources may include live and/or recorded lectures, videos, podcasts, case discussions, Q&A sessions, readings, and assignments, as well as both live and asynchronous interactions on the course platform.

There will not be a fixed class schedule; instead, the course will be structured around weekly units. Each week, a theoretical lecture will introduce the main theme, complemented by additional instructional materials. Students will be able to engage with the content at their own pace, though it is recommended to complete the weekly activities within the week in order to avoid falling behind.

We will also meet live and in person three times, each for one hour: on November 5th (to start the course and explain the rules of the game), on November 19th (for a Q&A session), and on December 10th (for the final wrap-up). These meetings will take place from 14:00 to 15:00 and will allow direct interaction between students and the professor. In any case, the sessions will be streamed on Teams (for those unable to attend in person) and recorded (for those unable to join at that time).

All course resources and activities will be centralized on this platform, with the exception of videos, which will be recorded on Teams. I encourage you to join the course’s Teams group using the code 2eqvkwx.

Through personalized interaction and asynchronous forum participation, each student will be able to engage in the most inclusive way possible, even in cases where the digital medium might otherwise create barriers to participation.

The teaching materials will be made available online:

• The course bibliography is already available on this page and will be updated throughout the course.
• Materials for self-learning and support will be uploaded on a weekly basis. Many of these materials require interaction, which is an integral part of the course: self-assessments, open-ended questions, and forum participation are all part of the teaching materials and of the exam.
• When forum participation is required, sufficient time will be allowed for each student to contribute within the weekly timeframe.

The course will begin on November 5th, according to the academic calendar, with the first in-person lecture.
