The divisions are: DIM (Divisione Imprese), for businesses, DIBA (Divisione Banche, Assicurazioni e Intermediari Finanziari), for banks, insurance companies and financial intermediaries, and DAP (Divisione Amministrazioni Pubbliche, Sanità e Non Profit), for public administration, healthcare and non-profit organizations.

Research

The Research Division, founded 22 years ago by Prof. Claudio Demattè and named after him, uses the outcomes of the latest studies to address the needs and challenges of managers working in companies and in financial and public institutions. The division believes that knowledge plays a key role in increasing competitiveness, efficiency and quality, as well as in fostering change and innovation. SDA Bocconi’s research helps shape the School’s programs, divulge scientific knowledge and encourage debate across different subjects. Research projects can take one of the following shapes:
