The Course aims to enable students to acquire knowledge on public administrations under the managerial perspective, focusing particularly the attention on the issues of governance, management and the accounting information system. At the end of the Course, students will be able to assess public budgets and reports in light of the accounting reform (Legislative Decree 118/2011 etc.), and the steps of public value creation, according to the public management mainstream, with particular reference to those of New Public Management and the New Public Governance. The Course also allows students to learn the good managerial practices that contribute to govern and manage local communities based on the principles of sustainability applied to public services, consistently with the SDGs 9, 11, 17 of Agenda 2030.
Course Prerequisites
The course requires a basic knowledge of public administrations from a legal and administrative point of view, acquired by the Undergraduate program with particular regard to business administration and pubblic and administrative laws teaching courses. Lacking this, the teacher will recommend specific references.
Teaching Methods
The course will be developed through lectures. The contents of each lesson will be exposed through the projection of ppt slides that will be uploaded on the KIRO didactic platform in relation to the course. The teaching method adopted is based on the work & class, with the proposal of business cases to be solved and subsequent discussed in the classroom. Some hours of lessons will be dedicated to seminars held jointly by professionals and the teacher of the course.
Assessment Methods
The exam consists of an oral test on all contents of the course programme during which some exercises on public accounting could be proposed. A written test in itinere will be offered to students in order to self-assess their degree of learning. Moreover, the course proposes students to prepare team works on a specific public administration, chosen by them and these team works will be discussed in class. The score (over 30) of the team works, if accepted by the students, remains valid for the entire academic year and will contribute to the final assessment.
