GRUPPO FERRETTI: second MBA for "quick talents" devised specially by Bologna University and Alma Graduate School for the Ferretti Group and Ducati has now been concluded A round table directed by Enrico Mentana dealing with "Corporate Competitiveness and Managerial Skills" was organised for the occasion.
The "Master for quick talents" in Business Administration was completed on 5th July. The course was specially devised for the Ferretti Group and Ducati by the Alma Graduate School of Information Technology, Management and Communication, formed of Bologna University, in cooperation with the Marconi and Carisbo Foundations. The closing ceremony, held at the seat of the Alma Graduate School, Villa Guastavillani in Bologna, was anticipated by a round table coordinated by Italian journalist Enrico Mentana, dealing with corporate competitiveness and managerial skills. Participants at the event included Anna Maria Artoni, Chairman of Confindustria Emilia-Romagna (Confederazione Generale dell'Industria Italiana - the Italian Manufacturer's Association), Duccio Campagnoli, Town Councillor for Production Activities at the Regional Offices of EmiliaRomagna, as well as Gianni Lorenzoni and Massimo Bergami, Consortium Chairman and Managing Director of the Alma Graduate School, respectively. The aim of the MBA, directed at top managers and executives from the two leading companies in their respective sectors, as well as some of their main suppliers, was to develop and facilitate human resources development processes and internal training in sectors demanding specific, highly qualified skills. Forty participants took the year-long Master, which developed personalised content and topics, as well as training modules coherent to strategy, organisational culture and the specific demands of both the Ferretti Group and Ducati. These two companies have based the formula of their international success on technology, manager involvement and responsibleness, and speed. "This Master," explains Giancarlo Galeone, Vice-President of the Ferretti Group, who was present at the closing ceremony, "answers our need to create those distinctive managerial skills and specific professional figures which are difficult to come across in the highly fragmented sector of sports craft. The Master is an important support to organisational development and an increase in internal managerial skills within this perspective." The Ferretti Group is one of the leading companies in the world within the sphere of designing and building luxury motoryachts and sporting boats, sold bearing the Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama, Bertram, Riva, Apreamare, Mochi Craft, Custom Line and CRN brands.
