The Furniture of the future needs managers

In an industry that generates over 52 billion euros, training has become essential to face the challenges of the contemporary national and international market. The Wood Furniture market is undergoing a profound transformation and needs new managerial skills. Hard and soft skills have become crucial in a supply chain that, in its complexity, generates 52.6 billion euros. Engaging with various sector stakeholders, both within and outside Italian borders, requires awareness of the cultural and economic value conveyed through one of the industries of Made in Italy excellence. Therefore, Luiss Business School has developed a new Major in Furniture Design Management. The objective is to train future professionals in an evolving industry through an experiential path designed together with some of the most important companies in the field and with Federlegno Arredo, the world's most important trade association. Carlo Fei, Professor of Practice in Luxury Management and Scientific Director of the major, explains. Furniture Design: a portrait of a fundamental sector for Made in Italy. Can you describe this market? According to data released by Federlegno Arredo's research center, the wood and furniture market in Italy is valued at 52.6 billion euros. Of these, 29 billion come exclusively from furniture, which represents one of the the four industries of excellence of made in italy and is distinguished by a strong vocation for export. Surrounding the word furniture, there is a structured and complex supply chain. True. Matter of fact, it is worth remembering that when we talk about Furniture, we mean a range of sectors that embrace different markets and logics. Simply consider living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, outdoor furniture, office furniture, furnishing accessories, etc. A market with specific characteristics that describes the synthesis between process industrialization and the quality typical of Italian craftsmanship, between the brilliance necessary to design unique products and the need to satisfy a fundamental function in our daily lives. All this is realized in full respect of what our country holds in its essence: beauty, quality, attention to detail, and creativity. What skills are needed for those working in this important sector? First, there must be an understanding of the value generated by each individual within the companies of the furniture industry, where creativity, innovation, and quality represent the balanced synthesis of a successful product. In this industry, it is crucial to recognize that success is not only determined by designers, planners, and architects, but by everyone involved in the production process. This is the fundamental starting point. Next are the specific skills needed to manage the business functions of a sector deeply linked to exports, where the ability to intercept different sensitivities and trends in each market must be combined with the aptitude to interact with commercial partners operating in different scenarios. We are talking about a Furniture market that produces high-quality durable goods with an important emotional connotation. Therefore, the ability to navigate between the rational and emotional worlds, as well as having a vocation for dealing with very diverse industry representatives, is another required personal quality. Think of partners supplying components, raw materials, semi-finished artisanal products, or advanced technology objects like home automation applications, all contributing to the value creation of these companies. Hence, the skills are many and very varied. For this reason, those who aspire to work in this rapidly evolving industry must possess a broad vision and understanding of complex models, where the balance between optimizing business processes and creativity and innovation represents the common thread that drives the success of the company. What has changed in the industry? Where are these figures needed? The industry is undergoing a significant evolution: many successful brands are forming aggregations to optimize their activities and be more solid in successfully facing the global market. Small excellence enterprises that have established themselves over the years, often with a family organization, are changing their setup to maintain competitiveness and increasingly attract managers capable of combining the soft aspects created by the family small business model with structured managerial skills capable of keeping pace with the market. Specifically, for example, the race towards the sustainability of processes already underway in Italian furniture industries has generated an evolution within the sector that requires advanced and specific skills. Similarly, commercial activities increasingly moving towards contract call for new integrated capabilities. Consider the digitalization affecting production processes, management, and communication in an organizational metamorphosis that cannot be improvised. The purpose of our Master is precisely to meet the growing demand for figures that are already trained and aware of the sector's peculiarities, which currently seem lacking. The major branded by Luiss Business School employs one word: experiential. What does it mean? What is the added value of this formula compared to other similar ones? (specify if it is a unique formula in Italy) Benjamin Franklin said: "Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I learn," and there is no better way to teach than involving people in real experiences. If we add that the Master is aimed at those who already have a strong background and knowledge acquired through a structured study path, it is therefore essential that, to achieve the goal of transferring specific skills and meeting the market's needs in Furniture Design, our path includes real on-field experiences. For this reason, we have established a partnership with Federlegno Arredo (the world's most important sector association), Design Holding: the leading group that aggregates some of the most famous luxury furniture brands in the world (including B&B, Maxalto, Flos, ArcLinea, FENDI Casa), MAGIS: one of the most significant companies in the design furniture landscape awarded with 5 Golden Compasses and with iconic products exhibited at the MoMA in New York, the Albert and Victoria Museum in London, and the Triennale in Milan, and Zordan1989, a B Corp company that provides custom furniture for luxury brand stores and is at the forefront in sustainability and corporate welfare practices. With them, we have developed a training path that includes many professional lecturers and entire days spent within the various brands for a training experience in the backstage of companies to experience firsthand the corporate functions, processes, and organization underlying the value creation Who would you recommend this major to and why? To those fascinated by this extraordinary sector and aspiring to build a professional path full of different stimuli and opportunities in an internationally oriented market. Architects wanting to extend their knowledge to managerial areas. Graduates in economic disciplines wishing to specialize in this Made in Italy sector destined for significant growth. Young managers with short experiences in other sectors wanting to acquire specific notions to enter the Furniture Design job market. In 3 words, what are the distinctive features of the Luiss Business School program in Furniture Design Management?  A path designed together with excellent brands in one of the most fascinating Made in Italy sectors, real-world experience living the backstage alongside market protagonists, the guarantee of excellence by Luiss Business School, accredited among the best Business Schools in the world.

In second place among  Italian business schools,  sixty-third on the global scene In 2024 Luiss Business School participated for the first time in the Financial Times ranking for Executive Education Custom, placing second on the Italian scene and sixty-third on the global one. The Financial Times ranking for Executive Education Custom evaluates how major business and management schools respond to the training needs of companies by designing and delivering personalised programmes. The 2024 edition of the ranking - which is based on the analysis of programme data from 2023 - highlights the growth of some trends in custom executive training. More flexible models, hybrid programmes and 100% online solutions are transformations that the pandemic has initiated and that, after three years, prove to be accelerating.

Luiss Business School Custom programmes are designed to meet the needs of corporate and institutional partners through integrated offerings that rely on customisation and innovation for a measurable business impact. The programmes range from the areas of General Management, to specialisations on hard skills and soft skills, to advanced training to guide  transformation, proposing formats that, while differing in methodologies and delivery techniques, combine flexibility and experiential training. As a matter of fact, personalised training is one of the strengths on which Luiss Business School has built an undisputed position of leadership in higher education, along with excellence in teaching, the proximity to the business world and the strong experiential approach that enables students to quickly fit into the dynamics of business. "This important achievement, obtained at the first participation in the Financial Times ranking , testifies to the constant commitment  Luiss Business School has in a key sector of management training, namely the one dedicated to personalizsed programmes for companies and institutions - says Enzo Peruffo, Associate Dean for Education and Partnerships - This accomplishment is proof that, when investment in people is fundamental to meeting the challenges of growth, it is training that makes all the difference".

After achieving a Degree in Economy and Management I felt the need for a change of “field” and a will to acquire concrete expertise in the audio-visual sector to transform my passion into a concrete job. Why this Master? To understand and study the fascinating film and television industry and try to become part of it. My idea was to combine in my educational path the world of business, strategic analysis, of numbers and charts with the world of creativity, culture and entertainment: two different souls that I have always been passionate about and that I aspired to combine even in my professional experience. I was looking for a Master that would satify my expectations and after several evaluations, choosing LUISS Creative Business Center’s Master in “Gestione della Produzione Cinematografica e Televisiva” prooved to be the best possible choice I could have made. The learning process guarantees a merger of technical and artistic skills with managerial competencies, fundamental for accessing the audio-visual production chain.   #MasterYourCreativity “Raccontare delle storie richiede un metodo”. Nicola Guaglianone, sceneggiatore del film “Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot” incontra gli studenti del LUISS Creative Business Center per parlare di sceneggiatura, scrittura e cinema. Una foto pubblicata da LUISS Business School (@luissbusiness) in data: 28 Apr 2016 alle ore 03:40 PDT Months of daily commitment, hard work, but also fun, loughs, moments to remember and challenges to overcome; a place where you can learn how to manage difficulties, cultivate your talent and grow both professionally and personally. The learning process enabled me initially to enhance my General Management knowledge, before entering into the world of creativity. The purpose? develop creative and managerial skills, creative expression and entrepreneurial attitude. //   Having the possibility of coming into contact with leading figures of this industry is a unique experience: Gennaro Nunziante, Pino Innocenti, Nicola Guaglianone, Spephen McPherson are just some of the screenwriters, directors and producers that during these months have enriched my specialization path in this field. In the last weeks, as a conclusion to the educational activities of the Master, we had the opportunity of attending intensive sessions with the most prominent Italian production companies such as: Lux Vide, Pepito Produzioni and Rai Fiction. //   The level of professionalism, the guest lectures, the Labs, the individual and group drills and the Masterclasses guarantee a direct and in-depth knowledge of the field, its demands and its main players. I am certain that this experience will prove to be my key for entering the television industry: my ambition is to become a fully competent professional, capable of carrying out high-level of responsibility functions in the audio-visual production field.

#MasterYourCareer: a 360 degrees professional and personal growth

A degree in political science, a career as a professional basketball player and now the Master in Tourism Management: Stefano’s experience, student at LUISS Business School   Could you tell us about yourself and your background? My name is Stefano Rambaldi,  I am 24 years old, I graduated in political science. And I am also a professional basketball player in Italian League B and League A. During this year I played in the Italian League B Championship with the University team  "ASD LUISS", which helped me to obtain a scholarship to attend the Master. //   Why did you choose the Master in Tourism Management? I chose this Master during my stay in Dublin where, apart from sports, I got to work at Sandymount Hotel, the Hotel sponsor of the team with which I disputed the Irish Premier League of basketball. Through this experience I became interested in tourism and the Master in Tourism Management perfectly answered  my desire to grow in this field. The fact that the program was fully taught in English significantly contributed my choice. Therefore I decided to return to Italy and take the admission test  for the Master and the University's sports team selections required to obtain a scholarship. What does following this Master at LUISS Business School means to you? The Master is contributed a lot to my professional growth through a learning process based on experience: the Labs and comparison with successful managers and professionals allowed me to apply the theoretical aspects of the study on concrete case studies. //   Particularly through the Soft Skills Lab, the University is providing every tool you need to become a qualified candidate from the relational point of view . We learnt how to speak in public and to communicate effectively, to be able to carry on a trade, manage conflict, work as a team. These are all skills that I am developing and that are very useful in tasks that I do, sports in the first place. The training at 360 degrees that I received led me to discover areas of interests and professions that I did not know or that I had not taken into account. Attending a Master in LUISS Business School in fact does not only mean achieving a specialization but it also means learning how to be versatile and expand professional and personal horizons. What are your future projects? In the future I wish I could take care of experiential tourism focusing on the value of sustainability. I would love to be able to work on those services able to immerse the visitor in full and authentic activities in the local community , by being able to enhance the culture and respect the values. In the upcoming weeks I will have the opportunity to deepen these themes during the internship that I will perform at Rosewood Hotel in Castiglion del Bosco in Tuscany. I will support the team Guest Relation in all communications with the guests at the pre-arrival time. I will let them know the tasks that are available to Hotel guests, their cost, their profitability and will cooperate to organize their stay based on their interests. To have the chance to participate in the activities of a great hotel reality like this, is for me a great opportunity to get involved and apply concretely on the field the teachings received so far. What advice do you give to who wants to enrol in this Master? I recommend it to anyone who is considering  joining  the Master stepping up to a path that requires a lot of effort but that will offer many opportunities  to get started , define and pursue their first career goals. In LUISS Business School you  will find a dynamic environment that can offer training and growth at 360 degrees. Therefore the tip I can give to prospective students is addressing this path with curiosity, trying to grasp all the stimuli and opportunities for personal and professional enrichment that this experience offers.

#MasterYourCareer: an enthusiastic path and a new challenge to achieve a future career in the financial field

The Master in Corporate Finance experience described by Letizia Ridolfi, class of 2015/2016. Passion for success, new challenges and a dynamic work environment pushed me to undertake a specialized Master in Corporate Finance at LUISS Business School. Nowadays, we as students and professionals are asked to reach complex goals in a challenging international market. After obtaining a master degree in Economics and business law, I realized that my academic background did not provide me with an adequate knowledge of economic and financial fields. The Master in Corporate Finance provides precious tools to boost my academic background and to succeed in my professional path. During the course, we have the chance to meet colleagues and trainers coming from different countries who share best practices, methodologies and experience that allow all of us to enrich our understanding in international business industry and to spread our network.   The programme is fully taught in English, allowing me to easily learn from different culture and improve my communication and relational skills; which is an extra incentive of growing. Further, to students who wish to study abroad, this programme gives the chance to participate in the Going Global Lab in order to offer an international experience by spending a term abroad at a University campus and by enhancing international employability. During my studies I participated in the Erasmus programme and I have to say that this experience changed me a lot, I think that attending a Master with an international perspective can really be a golden opportunity for building a successful career. I decided to enrol at LUISS Business School to specialize in the Corporate Finance field, and acquire the tools to beat all market demands. I am pleased with the courses I attended so far, such as quantitative methods for finance, accounting, planning and control, desk analysis. They helped me understand and use some specific tools, software and websites through which I am now able to make benchmarking studies, budget analysis and bond yields calculation. The School puts us into contact with the business community through the Leader4Talent Lab, which aims to combine traditional lectures with speeches and testimonials from the corporate world and class courses are often held by important managers, such as BNP Paribas, GSE, and EY companies. However it is just the beginning of this enthusiastic path and I am taking on this new challenge with eagerness and curiosity in order to gain the best to achieve a future career in the financial field.   The suggestion I would give to anyone that wants to enrol in this master is to undertake this course with passion, motivation, as well as the will of growing and taking on many challenges with enthusiasm and dedication, since most of the courses concern the real business life which is complex and dynamic. Doing a Master at LUISS Business School means joining a network of professionals, it requires commitment. The Master in Corporate Finance is a way to enhance professional and personal skills, challenging ourselves and going beyond personal limits. Discover the Master in Corporate Finance
