Recently, Agenda 2030 promoted 17 goals to achieve globally the Sustainable Development. There is the need to prepare the next generation of managers and entrepreneurs to make the difference, becoming pro-active actors for changement.

materiale didattico
The economics module focuses on the relation between ethics, economics, and business, both in economic analysis and management. It is articuletad into three aspects: First, economics necessarily involves ethics, and economists and managers cannot engage in economic analysis and decision-making without making value judgments. Second, individuals have ethical values that shape their behaviour and affect what happens in the economy as a result of their interactions. Third, ethical values are involved in evaluating how an economy is doing and in making and appraising business decisions.
The lessons are interactive and will include the theoretical perspective, case studies and project work.
