About the Course

Managing a company in the food and beverage industry is a fascinating task. Food and beverage products are so deeply rooted in the culture of most countries that making and selling them is not only a matter of making and selling good and tasty products, but products that nurture people's body, soul, and heart. Given this, it's not difficult to see that the task quickly becomes complex. The objective of this course is twofold: first, we will focus on contemporary challenges that managers and entrepreneurs in food and beverage businesses should be able to face; and second, we will provide models and tools to design and implement appropriate courses of action to satisfy customers and build an advantage over the competition. This course is made up of four modules and an introduction, each exploring one dilemma that food and beverage companies face. You will be presented with a set of video lectures and guest speakers. These lectures combine an accessible introduction to specific topics integrated with interviews of managers and experts that will give precious insights and examples to the participants. To enhance your learning experience with us, we will make a Documentary on the Excellences of the Modena District available for you, which is in a format that we have developed specifically for this course in order to give you the chance to experience first-hand the territory as our on-campus students usually do. Each module is paired with an evaluated quiz and weekly discussion forums to reflect on the variety of the F&B world, its complexity, and the power of the network that we will build together during the course. Successful completion of the quizzes is required for a course certificate as explained in the Grading Policy.

It's not easy, but it shouldn't be. If you go in with the intent to learn with interest in the subject. You will learn a lot. More than I thought I would. I'm a little sad that it is coming to an end.

Really enjoyed this course, found it very in-depth and relevant to the food and beverage industry. My one note would be for some of the links in the last 2 weeks to be updated as they no longer work.

Great Course! lots of very good information that will help you excel in the F&B world.

In my opinion the course could have been simplified as there are too many terms, but once you take the time to really focus on every term you really get a lot of positive information out of it that you can put into immediate effect into your business!

The course covered a unique topic, not readily available in books or on the internet. It gave a new perspective to look at, in the world of food and beverages. I am thankful to the organisers and professor Troilo for giving me an opportunity to indulge myself in this area of

The course is great. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt that it was more geared towards what would be niche products (at least in the examples) and not so much to the mass market, although the theory and lectures were applicable to both.

The examples were really on point and it helped a lot to understand the theory. I took this course for fun but now I am really inclined to work again in F&B. Nothing like italiano to motivate somebody. Grazie, professore!

Very interesting and well done! Some of the provided links are expired. It would be great to have an updated release with new trends and recent examples of F&B companies and success stories.

Very complete. Covers a wide range of subjects. Prof. Gabriele transmits a really clear message. Their quality is unquestionable. But, the program lacks of more specific examples.

Buen curso. Permite organizarte al tener los vídeos divididos por bloques tanto por semanas como por apartados. Además los ejemplos y entrevistas ayudan a una mejor comprensión.

Wonderful course, great material, interesting interviews, I learned a lot and enjoyed it very much! However it is more focused on marketing strategies than management itself.
