Global Management and Politics

The initiative stems from the need to offer interdisciplinary and international training to allow graduates to easily master the skills required by companies and institutions operating on a global scale. A strategic analysis carried out by LUISS has demonstrated an increased need to respond to economic and institutional changes by adopting inter and trans-disciplinary educational approaches. The course of study, therefore, develops around an intersection of fields necessary to undertake specific career paths, to which programs in Economics, Management and Political Science currently provide only partial answers. This need is particularly felt in graduate programs, as natural and immediate channels towards the labor market.The study plan is divided into four semesters, with direct teaching activities in three. The study plan starts with the exploration of the economic, legal and economic-business foundations of global management. The course of studies then focuses on organizational and strategic issues and, finally, ends with the analysis of important issues related to the political implications of globalization, international relations, the dynamics of international governmental and non-governmental organizations and activities related to representing corporate, stakeholder and institutional interests. The course is completed by three specific laboratories: 1) social research methodologies (to develop empirical, research-oriented work in the preparation of degree theses and rigorous training on methods of investigation of social phenomena), 2) behavioral skills (with particular attention to communication and negotiation), 3) issues of ethics, responsibility and sustainability.
