Syllabus
Course Objectives
The course develops themes of analysis and design of information system (IS) according to a predominantly organisational perspective. Mini case-studies, videos, business testimonies, live demo, etc. are used to support the conceptual and methodological approaches with regard to traditional and most innovative IS, trying to develop a critical spirit and autonomy of judgment (thus avoiding simpler ICT determinism). A further aim is to develop practical skills of analysis and governance, with particular attention to organizational and strategic relevance (eg. Organizational change) exploiting examples and testimonies (Dublin descriptors 1, 2 & 3). Last but not least, it is intended to facilitate a student's insertion into a firm by developing both a sensitivity and a "grammar" linked to IS to enhance the ability to learn and communicate (Dublin descriptors 4 & 5).
Course Prerequisites
No special requirements are mandatory. However, since Organization Theory and Design has interdisciplinary traits, it is useful to harness the knowledge and skills acquired in the business economy, in the legal and economic areas of the first and second years of the undergraduate degree courses, in particular the contents of the characterizing course "ECONOMIA E GESTIONE DELLE IMPRESE".
Basic Business Organization knowledge is very useful and preparatory as well as the very basic computer skills.

Teaching Methods
Lectures, videos, mini case-studies, business testimonials (managers, entrepreneurs, etc.), exercises and/or workgroups, live demo, to support both frontal and interactive didactics, with analysis and problem solving elements. Together with the classroom can be scheduled an ongoing learning test.
Assessment Methods
Written exam lasting one hour with five open questions (the first 4 with an equivalent weighting of 7 points and the last one of 5 points, for a total of 33 points corresponding to honours) both to assess knowledge and understanding of the topics covered (concepts, models, exercises and testimonies, "grammar of IS", etc.) and to assess the ability to contextualise through the request for relevant arguments and examples. Useful reference material to prepare for the examination is made available via the "KIRO" e-learning platform. In consultation with the lecture room, possible in-progress learning tests linked to exercises, project works and seminars may be planned. In the case of intermediate tests (e.g. project works, etc.), the final grade corresponds to the sum of all grades. The results of any intermediate tests will be made known via the "KIRO" e-learning platform; the results of the final test will be published in the students' reserved area. Acceptance or rejection of the grade must be made in accordance with the current University teaching regulations. The lecturer reserves the right to make the oral test compulsory in special cases, including individual ones (e.g. for misconduct, suspected cases of copying, etc.).
Texts
The PDF slides of the lectures available on KIRO (in addition to any material indicated by the lecturer and uploaded to the new e-learning platform ‘KIRO’) are sufficient for exam preparation.
