Corso di studio in Amministrazione Aziendale

Teaching is part of the general objective of the course, which is to provide knowledge of business administration and management, with an emphasis on extraordinary transactions for the reorganisation of the company.
The teaching aims to provide the terminological and research tools for
the analysis and reconstruction of the discipline of extraordinary transactions.

The teaching envisages completing the education of students with the knowledge of management operations of an extraordinary nature that in professional practice are put in place for company reorganisations. The aim is for students to acquire the ability to understand the meaning of the rules, to grasp the problems of interpretation, and to be able to argue possible solutions, also for the purposes of future professional activity. In this perspective, in addition to the rules, case law and notarial maxims are also examined.

The teaching therefore fits into the course of Studies in Business Administration with the aim of completing and enriching the preparation of students with the following skills:

1) Knowledge and understanding 

• list and describe the main extraordinary transactions; 
• describe the economic and legal effects of the main extraordinary transactions.

2) Applying knowledge and understanding 

• recognise the different effects of extraordinary transactions on the company, shareholders and creditors; and
• reconstruct the necessary procedure for carrying out each type of extraordinary operation, in particular identifying the body within the company competent to decide on the operation.

3) Indipendent judgement 

• identify the extraordinary operation that in the specific case is functional to achieving the desired reorganisation goals;
• make broad assessments of the costs and benefits of the various extraordinary operations;
• recognise the need for protection instruments in favour of any subjects affected by the performance of an extraordinary operation.

4) Communication skills 

• The resulting multidisciplinary communication skills are the main outcome
  of teaching. Students will develop the ability to combine technical and legal terminology relating to extraordinary transactions.

5) Learning skills 

• acquisition of the principles and criteria underlying the different prices of extraordinary operations.

Methods of conducting the examination

The examination is oral and consists of two questions on the topics covered in the video lectures. One question is of a theoretical nature, with the request to illustrate the discipline; the second question is of an applicative nature, with the request to summarise the main costs and benefits of a specific extraordinary operation or a particular profile of it, or to indicate the objectives that can be achieved through its execution.

The duration of the examination may vary from 10 to 20 minutes depending on the quality and content of the answer, the appropriateness of the legal language used, and the ability and mastery of expression of the student.

In the assessment of the examination, account is taken of:

(a) the knowledge of the subject matter (weight: approx. 50%);

b) the ability to make systematic connections between rules and institutes, and to apply the concepts and principles learnt to practical cases (weight approx. 25%);

c) the mastery of legal vocabulary (weight approx. 15%);

(d) the manner of exposition (weight approx. 10%).
