Learning objectives
The course aims to provide theoretical knowledge and methodological tools for the analysis and design of the organizational architecture, with a special focus on sports organisations.
From this perspective, in particular, it aims:
-to develop competencies for the design of an effective organizational structure, according to strategy, objectives and environmental context;
-to facilitate the understanding of the criteria and the relevant internal and external fundamentals of organizational design;
-to deepen the organizational macro and micro dimensions through the analysis of structures and models, behavioral processes and organizational culture;
-to stimulate analytical and problem-solving skills applied to the identification, analysis and resolution of organizational problems through the use of business cases.
The course assumes the organization as the object of study and explores the fundamentals of design and analysis of both macro and micro-organizational structure, with the aim of giving tools to apply the acquired knowledge to sports events and organizations.
The course initially provides an overview of the dimensions of organizational design and the theoretical fundamentals of the various organizational design options The main classical and modern organizational theories are resented and the determinants and criteria for defining organizational structure are analyzed.
Further, the course focuses on the different organizational models that can be implemented, emphasizing the advantages and disadvantages of the different options.
Additional aspects are then analyzed, such as the management of innovation and organizational change, the impact of technology on organization, systems and processes, culture and organizational relationships.
Finally, the course introduces the topics of the organization of work and the micro-structural design.
examMode
The student will be evaluated on the basis of the individual scores achieved on:
•Development ad discussion of a project work. The aim of the teamwork activity is to test the students’ ability to apply the knowledge acquired in the course to a specific business case. The project work contributes for 50% of the final grade, divided in 25% at the mid-term evaluation and 25% for the final project. Project Work instructions will be displayed by the instructor at the beginning of the course.
•The project work score is valid only within the duration of the academic year, but it can be used just once and only if the assessment results as sufficient (grade >=18); if a student fails (grade >18) or rejects the grade, he/she loses the evaluation achieved with the project work; however, in order to keep it for the next dates the student can leave the exam session within the first 15 minutes.
•Written test: for students who have completed the project work it consists of a business case discussion (up to 10 points) and 4 true/false questions to justify (up to 5 point each); Project work instructions will be clarified by the instructor at the beginning of the course.
For those students who will not complete the project work or will not reach a sufficient evaluation, an individual project work is requested. The project work will developed according to guidelines provided by the instructor and will be developed with the same standards of group project works.
•Aim of the written test is allow students to demonstrate that they have acquired the fundamental theoretical knowledge related to the course and can apply them, demonstrating autonomy and critical thinking.
•An excellent level of analysis of the business case and the correct answer to all the open questions will result in a score of 30/30 cum laude. The duration of the final exam is 60 minutes.
- Slides and other teaching material distributed in classroom.
mode
During the course, the following teaching methods will be applied:
-lectures
-working groups
-case studies
-presentations and assignment
-experts and practitioners speeches
Teaching activities integrate face-to-face lectures with the analysis of business cases performed by both the instructor and the students, and keynote speakers’ presentations.
Students will be required to join practical training sessions and analyze or discuss, individually or within small groups, case studies focused on the resolution of organizational problems and the definition of the different organizational configurations that can be adopted in different strategic and environmental contexts.
These sessions are useful to evaluate student's ability to put into practice the methods of organizational design and analysis acquired during the lectures.
Live case discussions will also be planned. Managers will be invited to interact with students on organizational issues experienced
in the field.
