Luca Pistilli, a lecturer at UCD Quinn School of Business, organised a guest lecture with his students to talk about corporate social responsibilities.
Flavour of Italy was hosted by the University to give to the students a practical example of how to embrace social aspects inside a business and how it affects the company. They discussed about different matters like motivation and well-being in the workplace, team-buildings.
The students participated actively to the conference with several questions.
The conference allowed to emphasize the importance of social enterprises not just as an ethical concept of business but also as an efficient model with strong strategic features.
