The aim of the course is to give students necessary tools to understand the rules concerning the operativity of the enterprises and companies, developing the concrete ability to identify and solve the most recurring issues, recognize the problems underlying the operating rules and arrive at reasoned and sharable solutions. Since the porpose of the course is to learn reasoning tools relating the most well-known problems of the business and societies, the didactic approach must necessarily starts from the study and analysis of the individual rules and individual institutes, which must necessarily be studied, to srrive at the concrete application of the rules, also using recurring cases.
