Educational aims
In the 1990s, deregulation, global competition, and new technologies have collectively thrown many companies into a state of dramatic change. As a consequence, industry boundaries have shifted, and new business combinations have surfaced.
Information Technology (IT) is the one major element of this change, because of its strategic role in supporting companies’ coordination, and often changing the fundamental nature of their business.
The course aim to introduce the basic economic concepts underlying business combinations, and the techniques of group accounting; the focus on the main environmental influences, through the analysis of some specific business cases, allow to join students to the «business reality».
The course also examines the role of information systems in supporting a wide range of organizational functions, and provides an introduction to Management Information Systems (MIS).
