Description: This is the 9th edition of the Master Program in Business Engineering, a programme of high-level training dedicated to meeting the needs of businesses, to developing modern managerial capacity, to offering participants the opportunity of professional growth. Students will acquire advanced competence in the organizational and management field and will be able to plan, implement and manage changes in structures and strategies, working in a team and, when appropriate, taking on leadership roles.

The Program has come into existence through the experience of the Business School of the Faculty of Engineering at Tor Vergata and enjoys the contributions and experience of more than thirty teaching staff, who have already also been engaged in the Research Doctorate program, and of a grouping of businesses and organizations that are highly representative of the various organizational contexts.

All subjects are dealt with using state-of-the-art theory references and vision of business cases of particular interest, thus contributing to the development of motivation and enthusiasm for best practices in the company field. Enthusiasm, combined with solid preparation, is a fundamental requirement when facing problems of organization and management in a company environment that is often characterized by phenomena of turbulence that, in both the public and private sectors, render generalized solutions and recipes impossible to consider.

To all this is added the academic atmosphere of the campus of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, with its stimulating environment, rich in national and international connections. Participation calls for commitment and sacrifice; in its turn the programme guarantees a creative and professionally interesting experience, up to all expectations.

The Programme:

The programme evolves around six appropriately interconnected competence areas, and has the aim of integrating theoretical knowledge and direct application in the business world.

The Fundamentals:
- Engineering Economics
- Accounting and Budgeting
- Fundamentals of law
- Organizational management and design
- Mathematical methods in management (I)
- Fundamentals of informatics
- Knowledge management

This area aims at integrating the participants, who may be heterogeneous as to training and work experience, through learning modules that supply competence in fundamental elements of economy and business organization, law, and informatics, as well as mathematical tools.

General Management:
- Management accounting
- Business Planning
- Project management
- Company Information Systems
- Financial Engineering
- Marketing management
- Operations Management
- Supply chain management and logistics
- Human resources Management

In the competitive environment, characterized by high instability and speed of change, it has become fundamental to possess competence for mastering he business in all its forms: to that end, this area revolves around themes that range from management control to logistics, passing through informatics systems and operations management.

The Business and its Environment:
- International cooperation strategies
- International management
- Management of innovation
- Management of processes of technological transfer
- The networked company
- Commercial and taxation law
- Portfolio choices

The success of a business and its capacity to win are also tied to its capacity to react to threats and grasp opportunities. This area, therefore, supplies the instruments and competence to understand the dynamics that are characteristic of the competitive environment of organizations, thus integrating the two internal and external visions of the company.

The new Instruments:
- Business Process Re-engineering
- Mathematical methods in management (II)
- Creativity in business
- Leadership
- The art and science of negotiation
- The new economy of industrial systems
- E-business management
- New product development
- Models of service systems

The profound changes that have taken place in markets in the last few years have created a highly unstable playing field which is in continual evolution for businesses, which, today more than ever, must base their own competitive advantage upon resources that are difficult to imitate and are highly idiosyncratic. The success factors are changing rapidly away from technologies that now cover the role of enabling commodity to people and their capabilities. For that reason, this area aims to supply new instruments for business management and governance, based on creativity, leadership, and techniques for negotiation and conflict resolution.

Project Work:
Specific study of a case with theoretical and practical relevance: analysis, planning and simulation of alternative solutions

Participants will be placed in company programmes with the aim of applying the competencies acquired during the course to the identification and solution of specific emerging problems.

Project work will be carried out at the end of the course under the supervision of a university tutor and will have an estimated duration of about three months. Project work activity includes the drawing up of a final written report that will be evaluated by the Program Faculty.

Company Internships:
Analysis of a company problem, definition, realization and control of a solution strategy

With a view to completing the training, participants will have the opportunity of access to an internship activity that will allow them to enjoy direct experience either in one of the participants in the Group of Excellence or at the organizations that make a request during the year to our Placement Service. The involvement of the intern will involve the setting-up and realization of a project of interest to the host organization, under the supervision of university and business tutors. Participation in the internship activity will be subject to the passing of an individual interview and curriculum evaluation at the business concerned.

As well as the contents of the training offer just described, the Master Program in Business Engineering offers the unique opportunity of creating a long-lasting link with the University of Tor Vergata and, in particular, with its Faculty of Engineering.
Altogether, the programme follows the approach of Management Engineering directed at transferring the innovative methods and orientation toward creative problem solving that are typical of engineering thought to the field of business organization and management.

Highlights: Who it is for:

The Program proposes to prepare managers who are able to supply solutions to problems that arise in strongly dynamic technological and marketing contexts and in which creativity and leadership qualities must be married to the capacity to face complex problems of a strategic, managerial or organizational nature. The course is, therefore, directed at graduates in technical-scientific or economic-social disciplines, business people, professionals, managers, and middle managers from companies and public and private organizations who wish to update their preparation in subjects related to business organization and management.

The teachers are the best that each sector can offer, each with their own specialization, but all with a common mental outlook. Participants in the Program, considered partners rather than students according to the tradition of the postgraduate courses at the Tor Vergata athenaeum, can enjoy plunging into a modern university environment, created in line with established international-level models, and sharing with it the numerous scientific and professional national and international relationships. The most advanced experiences and practices will be presented and discussed in class, also offering the opportunity to participate in work groups effectively employed in the field in research for new solutions to specific organizational and management problems of businesses, public organizations and research centres.

Participants will have access to the structures of the school, and also to the seminars offered by the teaching body and by national and international visitors.

The study environment allows participants to make the best possible use of all previous experience and competencies acquired by the participants.Learning one from another is just as important as learning from the teachers, who encourage this type of interchange with lessons and exercises conducted in a dynamic, creative and interactive way. Students are also invited to invent and make proposals. In this way, attendance at the Masters Degree becomes, for whoever is effectively motivated, a creative and stimulating experience.

The Master Program in Business Engineering offers, as well as the traditional level of quality,numerous services derived from the experience and suggestions of the participants in previous editions: didactic material (except for some texts and case studies to acquire separately) available from the first day; a discussion board and on line support for all; extracurricular activities for specific in-depth work, not compulsory but of definite interest.

Such services are entirely included in the subscription fee. There will also be social events to facilitate integration among the participants and informal contact with the teachers.
