CdLM Business Administration

The brand management course aims to define the role of brand management inside a company and to illustrate its principles and rules. The objective is to professionalise students with the necessary notions requested by marketing department of international companies. The course includes the use of case studies discussed in class with an international professor, to stimulate the discussion and exposition capacity in the classroom, with a problem solving-oriented approach.

• Knowledge and understanding capacity. During the course, through face-to-face lessons with the Professor, students will be provided with the knowledge about brand management strategies applied to international companies.
• Capacity to use knowledge and understanding.  The notion studied will be applied through the analysis of specific case studies. 
• Communication skills. Students are requested to play an active role in class presenting case studies and relative solutions.
• Learning capacity. Notions learned through face to face lessons and case presentations are tested by a written exam.

WARNING:

As established by the Rector's Emergency Decree no. 1561 of 16 April 2021, starting from the 2020-21 summer session, the exams will be held in person (written test) at SAA's. As usual, the test consists of a WRITTEN TEST AND THE LENGTH OF THE EXAM WILL BE ABOUT ONE HOUR.

Students resident or residing off-site, or abroad, in quarantine, in a highly frail situation or cohabiting with family members in a highly frail condition may request remote support (online), which will occur orally according to the calendar that the Commission will prepare. To apply, the student must:

A. for the case of residence or stay outside the Piedmont region or quarantine (both mandatory and fiduciary):

• register regularly for the test on Esse3, indicating in the Notes field the need to take the test remotely and the relative motivation ("Residence outside the region" or "Residence outside the Country" or "Quarantine");
• send the documentation via mail to valentina.chiaudano@unito.it I by the deadline for registering for the exam 2020-21

It should be noted that the condition of temporary residence outside the Region does not imply that the student is automatically entitled to take the remote exam; it will be the Examination Committee to assess the severity of the impediment, deciding whether or not to grant this possibility.

B. in the case of one's frailty or of cohabiting family members:

• Register regularly for the test on Esse3, indicating in the Notes field the need to take the test remotely and the relative motivation ("Fragility");
• send the documentation via mail to valentina.chiaudano@unito.it by the deadline for registering for the exam 2020-21. As documentation, I mean any kind of official medical certificate

It should be noted that for the condition of high "high fragility" reference is made to the definition of Category 1, Table 1 or Table 2, of the interim Recommendations on the target groups of the anti-Sars-Cov2 / Covid 19 vaccination of the Ministry of Health, published in the Official Gazette, General Series, of 23 March 2021, n. 72 (available at the link).
