Description

Description of the Course

The PhD course in Labour, Development and Innovation focuses on the theme of work and innovation with respect to regulations, business processes, trajectories of economic and territorial development, and the dynamics of digitisation of work and enterprises, with an interdisciplinary approach that borrows the most advanced analyses from the fields of labour law, economics and finance, organisation, business management and research and computerisation methods.

The course is part of the E4E doctoral school (Engineering for Economics - Economics for Engineering) and is divided into two curricula, the Labour, Development and Innovation curriculum, which focuses on the joint thematisation of labour regulation, business innovation processes and the dynamics of economic and territorial development, and the Industry 4.0 curriculum, which focuses on the dating of work and production processes, resulting from digitalisation, and the related transformations of business management logics and tools.

The basic training course, the didactic activities oriented towards the development of transversal skills, the themes and research activities developed in the course offer at PhD students a complete framework of conceptual and methodological tools suitable for tackling, in an interdisciplinary perspective, the complex issues related to labour transformations, the productive technological scenario, business innovation processes, economic and territorial development dynamics and their social repercussions.

The course meets the need to train new, highly qualified professional figures capable of combining research activity with the ability to develop innovative projects with a sustainable impact on the regional, national and international territory.

The salient features of the course are:
- integration with the productive fabric and economic operators, also in order to improve extra-academic employability;
- the use of several working languages (Italian and English) in teaching, research and design;
- the promotion of an interdisciplinary approach;
- the orientation towards internationalisation, witnessed by the number of highly qualified lecturers from foreign universities or research bodies on the teaching staff and by the exchange programmes of lecturers and students within international collaboration networks (co-tutorship agreement with Pablo de Olavide University in Spain).
