119282 - CONSUMER BEHAVIOR IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

IRENE FULCO

First Semester 8SECS-P/08ENG

Learning objectives

This course combines elements of marketing, sociology and psychology in order to provide a detailed overview related to the consumer behaviour and its importance in the circular economy. After an introduction to the role of consumer in the marketplace, the course addresses contemporary consumer culture and its globalisation tendency. Next, the course examines how consumers perception affect their understanding of the marketplace, how they use consumption in constructing their sense of self, and how motivations, values and lifestyles affect their actions. The course also analyses the importance of consumer behaviour in shifting to a new paradigm of sustainable economic development. Specifically, it covers the evolution of consumer actions in supporting the transition from a linear to a circular consumption.
The student must be able to:
1) Know the dynamics behind consumer behaviour, understand how individuals use consumption to build their sense of self and identify the role of motivation, values, lifestyles and culture in shaping consumer choices;
2) Apply the knowledge acquired through the identification of internal and external factors involved in the consumer decision-making process, also using case studies;
3) Have independent judgment and ability to interpret consumer behaviour by combining elements of marketing, sociology, psychology and sustainability;
4) Communicate the knowledge acquired through the examination of the dynamics underlying consumer behaviour, the related historical and cultural evolutions, and the related sustainable perspectives.

GIACOMO BRANCA

First Semester 8SECS-P/02ENG

Learning objectives

"The objective of the course is to provide students with a thorough overview of existing knowledge on the economic consequences of sustainable environment and natural resource (NR) management. The course will combine theoretical models and empirical evidence to disentangle what we know (and don’t know) about the relationship between sustainable use of the environment, natural resources, and various economic outcomes. It will also provide a setting for the discussion and evaluation of various policies for the management and use of natural resource wealth and the implications for the enterprises and the whole of society. Methodologically, the course aims to help students strengthen their micro-economic knowledge and to develop and refine their analytical and presentational skills.
1) Knowledge and understanding: the course provides students with the theory of economic policy applied to environment and natural resources.
2) Applying knowledge and understanding: the students should be able to apply knowledge and methods to interpret economic problems related to environment and natural resources.
3) Autonomy of judgment (making judgments): the students are encouraged to improve their preparation through active participation in the courses and develop critical judgment capacity in the subject.
4) Communication skills: the students should develop the capacity to explain (both orally and in writing) the course subjects.
5) Ability to learn (learning skills): at the end of the course, the students should be able to read an economic policy paper applied to environment and natural resources and understand its basic contents."

Teacher's Profile

courseProgram

This course provides insight in the sustainability challenges in Europe and the link to finance. The main task of the financial system is to allocate funding to its most productive use. Traditional finance focuses on financial return and regards the financial sector as separate from the society of which it is part and the environment in which it is embedded. By contrast, sustainable finance considers financial, social, and environmental returns in combination and shows how finance can accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, inclusive economy.
The course reviews evidence that environmental and social factors matter and explains how to incorporate these in company business models and strategies, investing, and lending. The course examines the financial instruments and techniques that can be applied in the context of the EU’s evolving climate policies (and other sustainability policies) and discuss the EU’s sustainable.

examMode

The assessment will aim to verify whether students have acquired mastery of the theoretical concepts included in the course program.

For attending students, the assessment of preparation focuses on the assessment of the group paper and the oral interview.

For non-attending students, the assessment of preparation will be the subject of the oral interview and will consist of questions relating to all the topics of the program.

119285 - MICRO AND MACROECONOMICS OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

CHIARA GRAZINI

Second Semester 8SECS-P/01ENG

Learning objectives

The course is designed to explain why it is essential today to move from the traditional linear economic model to more sustainable production and consumption ones from both a micro and macroeconomic point of view. After presented the main elements of the ecological and environmental economics, the course focuses on the limits of the linear "take-make-waste" model. Once the European and national regulatory framework has been briefly outlined, it will expose the basic principles of circular economy to better understand the main environmental, economic, and social benefits of sustainable economic models compared to the first. A circular economy requires new business models to function, so the course analyse models of financing and running a circular system, the stakeholders involved, and the strategies implemented, also through the presentation of some examples of applications in different countries of the world. Given that technological progress is the key driver of the development process of an economy, the course will focus on the effect of eco-innovation and its support for the diffusion of circular economy practices.
At the end of the course, students must: be able to analyze the value chains of different product sectors; have a solid cultural preparation with a systemic focus on the environment and a good methodological mastery; know how to deal with problems related to monitoring, control and management of the environment and the territory; have skills for the evaluation of resources and environmental impacts, including the formulation of models and the use of conceptual and methodological tools provided by the economy, law and environmental planning.

examMode

The knowledge and skills acquired during the course will be tested by means of a written test comprising and oral test in which students will demonstrate that they have acquired the theoretical and practical knowledge included in the course programme.

The written test will consist of 20 questions of a practical and theoretical nature to be completed in 60 minutes. The questions of the written test will focus on: i) statistical inference (hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, ANOVA, tests of fit and independence); ii) regression models, models for binary dependent variable, models for panel data.

The oral examination (compulsory) starts with the discussion of the written examination and covers the entire course programme.

The use of statistical software during the course will be tested through the possibility of carrying out a project work concerning the analysis of real data, thus allowing students to put into practice the knowledge they have learnt, developing data processing skills, autonomy of judgment and communication skills in reporting, presenting and discussing the results obtained.

119284 - BIOECONOMY AND AGRI-FOOD SYSTEM

BARBARA PANCINOLUCA CACCHIARELLIALESSANDRO SORRENTINO

Second Semester 8AGR/01ENG

Learning objectives

The Bioeconomy and Agro-Food System course is essentially oriented towards understanding the role that natural resources and their use, particularly in the agro-food sector, can have for the development of the bio-economy. It aims to provide students with the analytical tools to understand the opportunities offered but also the technical and economic constraints for a sustainable use of natural resources in the context of the bio-economy. In this context, the course will focus on the role of the agro-food system in pursuing its multiple objectives, as well as on the complementary and competitive relationships with other sectors of the bioeconomy in the use of natural resources. Such knowledge and skills aim to provide students with the ability to evaluate: a) the policies implemented at the local, national and international level for the development of a sustainable bio-economy and; b) to formulate, on the basis of the incentive structure offered by the market and by policies, innovative projects in processes and products.

Dublin Descriptors
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
The course aims to provide basic theoretical and methodological knowledge in order to allow the student to independently understand the interaction between the dynamics of the agri-food system and the development of the bioeconomy. This knowledge will be acquired mainly through lectures, the reading of targeted texts and participation in thematic in-depth seminars.

2. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
The student must be able to apply the methodological and theoretical knowledge acquired, thus acquiring the ability: a) to evaluate the policies implemented at the local, national and international level for the development of a sustainable bio-economy and; b) to formulate innovative projects in processes and products on the basis of the incentive structure offered by the market and policies. These specific skills will be developed above all through the examination of strategic documents, statistical data and the debate in the classroom.

3. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT
The autonomy of judgment will derive from the technical mastery of the tools, and from the understanding of the reasons that make different approaches bearer of different solutions in different contexts. This is built through lessons that encourage reasoned discussion with students and group work that stimulates discussion.

4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS
The student should acquire the ability to expose and present the problems and topics covered by the course with mastery of language and adequate analytical skills. The exercises focused on critical reading and interpretation of official documents and statistical data will aim precisely at implementing this skill.

CORPORATE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

MICHELE CIPRIANO

Second Semester8SECS-P/10ENG

Learning objectives

To acquire knowledge and understanding of: (i) the dimensions that characterize corporate responsibility: social, environmental, economic, stakeholder involvement, and voluntariness (beyond regulatory requirements); (ii) what policies support the development of these dimensions.

An organizational perspective is adopted to address how different entities (companies and institutions) are able to enhance their approach and their policies harnessing responsibility by (re)-considering and managing: the context in which they operate, the social and physical structures they adopt, how they approach technology and culture, how they deal with power, control, and conflict.

The purpose of this perspective is to realize (to be able to apply knowledge and understanding) what theories and practices better support decision makers and the other actors involved in designing and implementing projects to support such policies. In other words, to gain a critical undestanding (i.e. to be able to make appropriate judgments) of how to innovate and govern an organization and the complex network of relations within and outside its boundaries by means of improving communication and organizational learning.

MANAGEMENT OF PORT ACTIVITIES

EMILIO ERRIGO

Second Semester8SECS-P/13ENG

Learning objectives

he course aims to provide students with an advanced training characterized by an interdisciplinary approach and a broad international outlook. It also aims to train professionals with high specialist skills that are increasingly in demand in the maritime and port sector. It will focus on port management and logistics activities, intermodal transport, and the management of maritime freight and passenger transport activities. At the end of the course, after being trained in the field, students will be able to occupy important roles in public bodies and institutions.
The course also trains students for further research and management training in the maritime and port sector. The distinguishing feature of the course is that it is based on specialized content that covers all the broader research scope in the transport and logistics sector with economic-business and legal profiles.

Knowledge and understanding

The approach of the course in Management of Port Activities provides students with skills and understanding of all activities in the field of maritime and port transport and intermodality. In order to broaden students’ knowledge and understanding, classes will examine specific practical cases derived from the high professional and qualified experience of the lecturer. In addition, careful analysis and processing of scientific and research contributions on specific topics dealt with during the course, also required for the final oral examination, is a further tool for acquiring skills and understanding. Students shall prove specific knowledge on the evolution of transport and port activities and business management strategies in the sectors. They shall also be able to elaborate and apply ideas in the context of themes dealt with and of the reference research objectives.

Applying knowledge and understanding

The didactic approach provides for theoretical training to be accompanied by interaction with the lecturer aimed at proactive participation and at developing the ability to independently elaborate and communicate the results of the work learned. Self-study is recommended for delving into the topics dealt with, in order to acquire in-depth knowledge of the subject. It will be important for students to personally revise the themes examined during classes, which will allow them to increase mastery of the subject and personal knowledge. In addition to self-study, the ability to understand, argue and reflect on practical cases will be fundamental. By the end of the course, students shall be able to solve problems in new areas and within the broader or interdisciplinary contexts of port activities and maritime management.

Making judgments

Courses allow students to develop the ability to interpret and verify data that are useful for making autonomous judgments on specific scientific and social issues related to the topics dealt with. In particular, knowledge of ethical-professional responsibilities and issues of sustainable development relating to maritime and port transport, also in the light of technological innovations in the sector, are relevant. Students are expected to prove ability to collect and interpret relevant data and to integrate knowledge and manage complexity, and to formulate judgments also through data. The course fosters the development and ability to highlight relevant information and strategies in relation to the choices made and dialectics. For students to delve even more into the subject, reflections on practical cases and testimonies offered by the lecturer on issues relating to the world of business and professions provide important practical ideas to independently develop decision-making skills and judgment. Students will acquire the skills to manage complex technical/professional activities or projects by taking responsibility for decisions in unpredictable work or study contexts and to integrate the knowledge acquired and manage the complexity of information and make judgments.

Communication skills

The course aims to develop students' ability to communicate clearly on the subjects studied. The student shall be able to communicate information, ideas, problems and concrete solutions to specialists and non-specialists. The course includes lectures and activities involving interaction and participation with the lecturer on specific topics. Active participation in activities, courses and seminars organized by the University in the port area complete the communication skills of each student. In order to improve students’ knowledge, seminar activities, including interdisciplinary ones, may be organized on specific topics, in which discussions among students and various lecturers can be fostered.

Learning skills

In order to allow continuous testing and improvement of students’ learning skills, importance is given to self-study. The methodological approach of teaching and the participation in internships help students to develop learning skills. Each student is offered various tools to develop the skills to undertake research on certain topics independently. Self-study offers students the opportunity to test and enhance their learning capacity. The teaching methodological rigor shall lead them to develop logical reasoning and subsequently support a thesis. Other useful tools for achieving this ability include in-depth study on topics suggested by the lecturer and internships carried out in Italy or abroad.
By the end of the course, the student will be able to
- reconstruct and analyze main events in the evolutionary process of maritime and port law, identifying the essential features within the international legal system;
- understand the competences and functions attributed to Port System Authorities
- understand the contents and objectives of port and maritime law
- analyze specific legal issues and illustrate the rules of maritime and port law relevant to their resolution
- distinguish and detect specific legal issues and identify their solution;
- carry out research on port law
- critically and autonomously assess legal and social implications of port-related regulatory solutions
- independently analyze implications of legal issues and reform processes;
- use specific and adequate language to speak about port issues

Teacher's Profile

courseProgram

This course provides insight in the sustainability challenges in Europe and the link to finance. The main task of the financial system is to allocate funding to its most productive use. Traditional finance focuses on financial return and regards the financial sector as separate from the society of which it is part and the environment in which it is embedded. By contrast, sustainable finance considers financial, social, and environmental returns in combination and shows how finance can accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, inclusive economy.
The course reviews evidence that environmental and social factors matter and explains how to incorporate these in company business models and strategies, investing, and lending. The course examines the financial instruments and techniques that can be applied in the context of the EU’s evolving climate policies (and other sustainability policies) and discuss the EU’s sustainable.

Learning objectives

To acquire knowledge and understanding of: (i) the dimensions that characterize corporate responsibility: social, environmental, economic, stakeholder involvement, and voluntariness (beyond regulatory requirements); (ii) what policies support the development of these dimensions.

An organizational perspective is adopted to address how different entities (companies and institutions) are able to enhance their approach and their policies harnessing responsibility by (re)-considering and managing: the context in which they operate, the social and physical structures they adopt, how they approach technology and culture, how they deal with power, control, and conflict.

The purpose of this perspective is to realize (to be able to apply knowledge and understanding) what theories and practices better support decision makers and the other actors involved in designing and implementing projects to support such policies. In other words, to gain a critical undestanding (i.e. to be able to make appropriate judgments) of how to innovate and govern an organization and the complex network of relations within and outside its boundaries by means of improving communication and organizational learning.

Learning objectives

he course aims to provide students with an advanced training characterized by an interdisciplinary approach and a broad international outlook. It also aims to train professionals with high specialist skills that are increasingly in demand in the maritime and port sector. It will focus on port management and logistics activities, intermodal transport, and the management of maritime freight and passenger transport activities. At the end of the course, after being trained in the field, students will be able to occupy important roles in public bodies and institutions.
The course also trains students for further research and management training in the maritime and port sector. The distinguishing feature of the course is that it is based on specialized content that covers all the broader research scope in the transport and logistics sector with economic-business and legal profiles.

Knowledge and understanding

The approach of the course in Management of Port Activities provides students with skills and understanding of all activities in the field of maritime and port transport and intermodality. In order to broaden students’ knowledge and understanding, classes will examine specific practical cases derived from the high professional and qualified experience of the lecturer. In addition, careful analysis and processing of scientific and research contributions on specific topics dealt with during the course, also required for the final oral examination, is a further tool for acquiring skills and understanding. Students shall prove specific knowledge on the evolution of transport and port activities and business management strategies in the sectors. They shall also be able to elaborate and apply ideas in the context of themes dealt with and of the reference research objectives.

Applying knowledge and understanding

The didactic approach provides for theoretical training to be accompanied by interaction with the lecturer aimed at proactive participation and at developing the ability to independently elaborate and communicate the results of the work learned. Self-study is recommended for delving into the topics dealt with, in order to acquire in-depth knowledge of the subject. It will be important for students to personally revise the themes examined during classes, which will allow them to increase mastery of the subject and personal knowledge. In addition to self-study, the ability to understand, argue and reflect on practical cases will be fundamental. By the end of the course, students shall be able to solve problems in new areas and within the broader or interdisciplinary contexts of port activities and maritime management.

Making judgments

Courses allow students to develop the ability to interpret and verify data that are useful for making autonomous judgments on specific scientific and social issues related to the topics dealt with. In particular, knowledge of ethical-professional responsibilities and issues of sustainable development relating to maritime and port transport, also in the light of technological innovations in the sector, are relevant. Students are expected to prove ability to collect and interpret relevant data and to integrate knowledge and manage complexity, and to formulate judgments also through data. The course fosters the development and ability to highlight relevant information and strategies in relation to the choices made and dialectics. For students to delve even more into the subject, reflections on practical cases and testimonies offered by the lecturer on issues relating to the world of business and professions provide important practical ideas to independently develop decision-making skills and judgment. Students will acquire the skills to manage complex technical/professional activities or projects by taking responsibility for decisions in unpredictable work or study contexts and to integrate the knowledge acquired and manage the complexity of information and make judgments.

Communication skills

The course aims to develop students' ability to communicate clearly on the subjects studied. The student shall be able to communicate information, ideas, problems and concrete solutions to specialists and non-specialists. The course includes lectures and activities involving interaction and participation with the lecturer on specific topics. Active participation in activities, courses and seminars organized by the University in the port area complete the communication skills of each student. In order to improve students’ knowledge, seminar activities, including interdisciplinary ones, may be organized on specific topics, in which discussions among students and various lecturers can be fostered.

Learning skills

In order to allow continuous testing and improvement of students’ learning skills, importance is given to self-study. The methodological approach of teaching and the participation in internships help students to develop learning skills. Each student is offered various tools to develop the skills to undertake research on certain topics independently. Self-study offers students the opportunity to test and enhance their learning capacity. The teaching methodological rigor shall lead them to develop logical reasoning and subsequently support a thesis. Other useful tools for achieving this ability include in-depth study on topics suggested by the lecturer and internships carried out in Italy or abroad.
By the end of the course, the student will be able to
- reconstruct and analyze main events in the evolutionary process of maritime and port law, identifying the essential features within the international legal system;
- understand the competences and functions attributed to Port System Authorities
- understand the contents and objectives of port and maritime law
- analyze specific legal issues and illustrate the rules of maritime and port law relevant to their resolution
- distinguish and detect specific legal issues and identify their solution;
- carry out research on port law
- critically and autonomously assess legal and social implications of port-related regulatory solutions
- independently analyze implications of legal issues and reform processes;
- use specific and adequate language to speak about port issues

The course (48 hours) is held in Italian/English
The course offers frontal lectures concerning the aspects of the discipline that are relevant and indispensable for the achievement of the specific educational objectives of the course of study.
Frontal lectures are supported by in-depth seminars on particular topics. In addition, power point presentations and the reading of materials provided by the lecturer (judgments, resolutions, international treaties, etc.) will be used.
The slides and materials commented on during classes are uploaded on the Moodle platform under the heading "teaching materials" and can be accessed by both attending and non-attending students. It is therefore necessary for students to register on the Moodle platform in order to have access to these materials and to the lecturer's communications.
Possible exercises will be based on simulations of an international dispute and/or practical cases in relation to the topics addressed during the course.
The teaching methods of the course will enable students
- to acquire the aforementioned skills and to autonomously understand and evaluate events and disputes involving a knowledge of international law and maritime law;
- to develop their own independent judgment in relation to environmental protection, maritime transport safety, maritime traffic management, safety and security.
Students shall use the Moodle platform for downloading teaching materials, accessing teacher-student communications, forming work groups for homework exercises. Interactive spaces will also be made available for discussion on individual topics proposed by the lecturer. Lessons will also be based on the study and explanation of specific practical cases derived from the lecturer's high level of professional and qualified experience.
In order to meet specific teaching needs related to the epidemiological situation, classes may be live streamed or recorded.
