Institute of Management and Organization (IMO)
When business management rhymes with social context
Nowadays executives face responsibilities that go beyond the efficient management of production. Holding responsibilities that extend well beyond profit maximization, today firms are called to cope with more and more complex organizational challenges. To study the management challenges faced by modern organizations, the Faculty of Economics has created the Institute of Management and Organization (IMO), an evolution of the Institute of Management. The new Institute, chaired by Prof. Filippo Carlo Wezel, focuses its research on the social context in which organizational behavior takes shape. More information.
