|---|---|
| The course introduces concepts, theories and methods relating to the geography of business, knowledge and innovation and sets as its educational objective the understanding, from a multi-scalar and trans-scalar perspective, of the evolutionary dynamics, ongoing processes and relationships that exist between business systems, innovation systems and territorial development. Starting from the general analysis of localization studies, the course provides elements of understanding on the theories that attempt to explain the relationship in time and space between industry and development through economic geographical analysis and then explains the theories and empirical implications that they interpret. the businesses of behavior in light of a space considered complex, diversified and relational. Knowledge and understanding (Knowledge and understanding) The student, at the end of the course, is expected to acquire a greater theoretical understanding of the set of phenomena and effects that underlie the evolution and spatially heterogeneous distribution of business activities; that develops empirical skills in the analysis of the spatial localization of companies in light of the different territorial relationships with particular focus on the critical role of knowledge production, transfer and innovation in territorial development processes. Ability to apply Knowledge and understanding: (Apply knowledge and comprehension) At the end of the course the student will be able to: analyze geographical theories on the distribution and localization of industries at different scales of analysis (national, regional, local); understand the causes, the evolution of models and the spatial effects of the concentration or diffusion of industrial activities within a complex and heterogeneous space; develop critical skills in the evaluation of national and European policies and orient towards the use of both top-down and bottom-up approaches. Autonomy of Judgment (Making judgments ) Methodological acquisition and operational development of basic knowledge for the technical-scientific evaluation of spatial iteration processes at company and territorial level. Implementation of strategies and analysis designs for the geographical-economic evaluation of territorial projects aimed at generating co-creation and co-innovation systems. Communication Skill (Communication skills ) Acquisition of a specific and articulated language of basic knowledge and topics covered during the course. Communication and relational skills (verbal and written) are considered fundamental in order to communicate complex problems clearly and confidently, articulate solutions, manage and produce quality technical-scientific reports and presentations. Learning ability (Learning ability) At the end of the course, the student will have acquired technical and conceptual knowledge consistent with the continuation of the personal training path whether it has an outlet in the field of academic research or in public/private organizations oriented towards the design/implementation/evaluation of territorial development plans and programs. Furthermore, they will acquire critical skills useful for resolving certain specific problems contained in the topics covered during the course. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| There are no prerequisites. |
| Contents | |
|---|---|
| Economy and Space (2 hours); the theory of industrial localization (4 hours); business organizations: decentralization, diffusion processes and reticular structures: (4 hours); spatial complexity, corporate competitiveness and exogenous development (4 hours) territorial capital, corporate competitiveness and endogenous development (4 hours); co-dependent and co-evolutionary business networks and geographical networks (2 hours); localization technology and processes (2 hours); knowledge production, economic ecosystems and local development (4 hours); economic geographical investigation and value co-creation processes (2 hours) |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| The course consists of 30 hours of lectures. The topics will be interspersed with practical exercises useful for implementing the theoretical frameworks in concrete experiences (10 hours). The exercises may include team work. The teacher's presentation will be supported by projected slides. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| The test consists of a single final oral exam lasting approximately twenty minutes. The evaluation will be expressed in thirtieths. It is aimed at verifying the theoretical knowledge and technical-scientific skills acquired by the student during the course. Furthermore, the assessment of methodological knowledge will follow a contextual discussion, where possible, of the exercises carried out by the student during the course hours in order to structure an overall judgment of the analytical-conceptual skills and acquired language properties. |
