Course Content
The acquisition of knowledge takes place through the examination of case studies of Italian companies and entrepreneurs: a story that is not generic, but supported by data, by knowledge from within the organizational and strategic mechanisms and, above all, contextualized. To achieve this goal, it will be essential to focus on the main points of Italian economic history between 1861 and 2020

Learning Objectives
The ultimate aim of the course is to provide students with a sense of their own identity on a cultural and social level. This is of crucial importance in a globalized world, where the risk is to end up completely disoriented in the absence of a precise awareness of one's origins and roots. We often read that Italians are incapable of "making a system". It is necessary to understand the deep reasons for overcoming this situation which risks giving a sense of inferiority to future generations.
