  • Creating Value in the Entrepreneurial University: Marketization and Merchandising Strategies
    administrative sciences Article Creating Value in the Entrepreneurial University: Marketization and Merchandising Strategies Chiara Fantauzzi *, Rocco Frondizi , Nathalie Colasanti and Gloria Fiorani Department of Management and Law, University of Rome Tor Vergata, 00133 Roma, Italy; [email protected] (R.F.); [email protected] (N.C.); gloria.fi[email protected] (G.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 9 August 2019; Accepted: 14 October 2019; Published: 18 October 2019 Abstract: Higher education institutions are called to expand their role and responsibilities, by enhancing their entrepreneurial mindset and redefining relationships with stakeholders. In order to cope with these new challenges, they have started to operate in a strategic manner, by performing marketing and merchandising activities. Indeed, in a sector characterized by the presence of competitive funding models, several forms of accountability, and performance indicators, universities have become open systems and have started to operate like enterprises, considering students as customers. Given this premise, the aim of the paper is to individuate marketing and merchandising strategies in higher education and to evaluate their effectiveness in order to foster stakeholders engagement. This is in line with the entrepreneurial university model that represents the starting point of the theoretical study, then a literature review of “marketization” in higher education institutions is presented, showing how this field is not yet completely investigated. Data refer to the Italian context and are analyzed through a qualitative method. Findings suggest that most Italian universities perform merchandising strategies, but currently there is not sufficient information to evaluate their effectiveness in higher education, it was only possible to make hypotheses.

  • Annual Report 2019
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 SAR Italy is a partnership between Italian higher education institutions and research centres and Scholars at Risk, an international network of higher education institutions aimed at fostering the promotion of academic freedom and protecting the fundamental rights of scholars across the world. In constituting SAR Italy, the governance structures of adhering institutions, as well as researchers, educators, students and administrative personnel send a strong message of solidarity to scholars and institutions that experience situations whereby their academic freedom is at stake, and their research, educational and ‘third mission’ activities are constrained. Coming together in SAR Italy, the adhering institutions commit to concretely contributing to the promotion and protection of academic freedom, alongside over 500 other higher education institutions in 40 countries in the world.

  • M.Sc. Management Engineering
    M.Sc. Management Engineering EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES Thought as a tech-MBA and specifically designed for students with a Bachelor Degree in Engineering, the MSc in Management Engineering of the University of Palermo allow complementing the in-depth knowledge and the way of thinking of the engineering background with the ability to take strategic decisions and tackle management issues. Management engineers are managers with advanced quantitative proBlem-solving skills and able to manage companies that operate in increasingly complex, international and technologically advanced environments. The programme is inherently multidisciplinary and integrates high-level management skills with in-depth technical competences in several areas as operations and supply chain, finance, economics, project management, innovation, strategy, logistics and technology management. The educational model of the programme is strongly based on the active learning and the courses are taught with several teaching methods: lectures, practical sessions, case studies, flipped classroom, and in-class discussion. Students are involved in practical-based labs and project works developed in team where they can experience real challenges and apply the skills, methods and knowledge acquired. The programme is entirely taught in English and is divided into three discipline blocks: - Methodological disciplines include the methodological basis of the second level management engineer such as advanced statistical methods and tools for management engineering, business process modeling techniques, project management methodology and software; - Core disciplines study the main Business functions of every company, such as marketing, corporate finance, strategy, operations and supply chain, technological innovation and human resources; - Advanced Management (focus) disciplines relate to more specific topic such as sustainable technologies, public sector economics, industrial safety, technology analysis, smart manufacturing.
