LUM School of Management’s goals include: guiding young professionals in business innovation processes, supporting managers in developing their organizations, simplify the entry of young graduates into the job market, promoting corporate responsibility to foster the governance and sustainable development of our territories and communities. These goals are fundamental in this difficult moment, in which all of us must be aware and coherent. We must be aware of the fact that this is not just an economic crisis. If it was, maybe we would already went past it. This is a crisis of identity and values, of politics and policies, of society and culture for all Western countries. We are dealing with four crisis, and the economic one would be the easiest one, without the other three.  With this assumption in mind, we must abandon the technical culture, which deluded us by telling us that with the technique, perhaps the financial one, it would have been possible to create a modern cornucopia capable of satisfying any need, and which instead only led to an individualistic and anti-egalitarian model of society. The exact opposite of humanist culture, which has always been the basis of the great though difficult changes in Europe, and which today we must recover in its essence in order to be able to recompose and direct diversity towards a common good that must be declared, but above all must be realized.

We must therefore rethink the framework of our values and culture, and ideas such as social cohesion, community belonging, shared identity, system governance, sustainable development of communities and territories, collaboration between public and private will ignite cultural and operational challenges for decision-makers and organizations. Entrepreneurs and managers won’t be able to operate without considering common values, shared vision, a system of thought, the importance of the individual and of the groups for learning and the development of knowledge, generosity and trust, social consensus; and they will have to share and realize all these values and ideas with the people who work with them.

It’s the tension towards a new humanism, that will make it possible to engage individuals, to improve their ability to learn, to encourage the development of free information flow aimed at becoming better people and reaching better business goals; it’s that shared identity which allows to promote talents, all talents.

Professionalism, but also motivation, adaptability, creativity, the ability of being innovative and collaborative, in one word: passion. For this reason, the main challenge for entrepreneurs, managers, public managers is to think and suggest new models for organization and management, based on new thoughts about relations and human behaviors: more efficient systems and organizations can be conceived and suggested enhancing and working with the best part of people instead of trying to optimize the worst one.

In line with its vision, this is LUM School of Management’s mission:
  • being seen as a local and national School of thought, capable of influencing decision makers because of the worth of its ideas;

  • suggesting innovative issues, anticipating change and the needs of different fields;

  • participating in the elaboration of innovative models for communities and territories, and of managerial tools for the three kinds of company (profit, non-profit, public);

  • developing content and significant and excellent products for training;

  • supporting companies and managers in focussing on how to implement change;

  • developing and building relationships and partnerships with local and national main players;

  • merge with the activity of the University; giving good exposure to LUM system.
