Course description
Many of the achievements in our world would not have been possible without a sophisticated understanding of how to organize vast amounts of resources and the effort of many people in order to carry out complex tasks. Now more than ever, competitive advantage depends on a company’s ability to (re)organize its structure, processes, so as to effectively recognize and realize business opportunities. Managing this complexity requires an understanding of multiple contingent and interdependent factors. This course is dedicated to making better organizational choices, with a special focus on fashion, experience and more in general luxury companies. The course is divided into two macro-sections: organization design and organizational creativity. The first part examines the structures in which people work and their relationship with the competitive environment and company strategy. The most common structures and main critical elements related will be analyzed. In the second part students will explore how to design organizations that continuously support creativity and to organize creativity for achieving better organizational results.
