The course aims to introduce students to the fundamental concepts and principles of business economics and organization with regard to financial and management accounting, financial statement analysis, the separation of ownership and control, short- and long-term decision-making processes, and the role of digital transformation and intellectual property rights in company management. The course is structured in three distinct but complementary parts. Lectures also include case discussions and exercises to provide students with the necessary skills to manage economic and financial information. The course begins with an overview of how digital technologies are transforming organizations’ products, processes, and business models, creating new opportunities but, at the same time, new strategic, economic, and organizational challenges. The first part of the course continues with the study and interpretation of the two main accounting documents: Balance Sheet and Income Statement. The Balance Sheet summarizes the situation of the company’s assets photographed at a precise moment in time. The Profit and Loss Account, on the other hand, depicts the costs and revenues always fixed at a specific instant. These documents give different but complementary information on the performance of a company over the years. Through financial statement analysis by indexes, students will learn to rework the information contained in the Balance Sheet and Income Statement in order to understand the evolution, health, and future scenarios of a company and changes in its business models. Financial statement analysis will be the subject of a Project Work in which students will be able to grapple with real data from the largest listed companies in the US (e.g., Amazon, Netflix, Meta, Google). The second part of the course presents management accounting methods and techniques to support management in the strategic planning, control, and monitoring of business performance. Topics will cover the classification and allocation of costs and short-term decisions (e.g., break-even analysis, product mix strategies and make-or-buy decisions). The third part of the course introduces students to the basic concepts and techniques used in long-term decision-making, and in particular, it explains the planning process managers use to make long-term investment decisions (capital budgeting). A focus on the various factors determining investments in innovative activity follows. Indeed, innovation is a considerably uncertain and risky investment activity that dictates peculiar strategic behaviors for the firm that must be known and analyzed separately. Moreover, the third part will dive into the origin, nature, and use of intellectual property rights to protect new ideas and appropriate the economic returns of investments in innovation. All such matters are of substantial relevance in the context of the current digital transformation.
