In order to face the world around us with a minimum degree of hope for success in achieving what we want or in creating what is most needed, a certain reevaluation of ideas we hold as truisms is needed.
An idea, as a message, has a transmitter, a receiver and a means through which it is communicated. An idea is developed, evaluated, communicated, sold. In order for the last step to be fruitful, all previous ones should have contributed to make this final product unique, inimitable. And it should arrive at the right audience.
Stemming from different humanistic approaches, from theory of knowledge to the history of the printing press, touching on clinical psychology and the market of modern art, the present course aims at presenting practical examples of how reflective thinking on our generally accepted values and concepts might contribute to a better education in order to face the challenges of a changing society.
Effective management, robust decision-making and inspired leadership derive from more than rules and knowledge; imagination, creativity and lateral thinking are also integral, as innovation often derives not from looking at things, but from looking at them differently, with a critical eye. Looking around critically and judging things differently is what Humanities have always done, and in this course we will explore ideas beyond the traditional management curriculum to consider different ways to ask questions, ponder problems, discover opportunities and engage key concepts. Built around a set of core themes (Truth, Innovation, communication, Value and Judgment), the course will encourage students to develop an individual and creative approach to how they think about the challenges they will encounter over their career.
In this course you will learn:
•Development of analytical, critical, and creative thinking.
•Comprehensive reading of complex texts.
•Writing and argumentation.
•Research and information competence.
•Sensitivity to other cultures and human experiences.
