Degree examinations

The attention of students is drawn to the subjects of plagiarism,  or copying (even involuntary) without mentioning the source of parts of books, essays, theses, articles, projects by other authors in the preparation of the degree thesis. This constitutes the appropriation, through total or partial copy, of the authorship of a work of others.

We therefore invite you to check your documents and always cite the sources from which you draw texts and images. In this sense, we recall the following passage from the Code of Ethics and Conduct of the Politecnico di Milano : "The Politecnico promotes the integrity of research, condemns plagiarism and infringement of intellectual property and provides opportunities for all those who carry out research activities to have a 'adequate training on ethics and integrity in research. "

New space economy - digital ecosystems design.

Type of project: Dissertation

Supervisor 1: Jacopo Manotti

Date: 25 September 2023

Email: [email protected]

Contacts: Jacopo Manotti

Content / Work description: In the last 20 years, the European Commission gradually developed a constellation of Earth Observation satellites named Copernicus . The infrastructure is today able to collect petabytes of data every day, making such data available for everyone for free. Some renowned firms decided to build their digital ecosystem to offer value-added services based on the combination of such free data with other sources of data (e.g., public records, in-situ sensors, etc.) or technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, cloud, quantum). These digital ecosystems rely on different sources of data, different processing activities, and more broadly, different governance mechanisms. The thesis aims at deep diving into the configuration of digital ecosystems leveraging Copernicus data, exploring the antecedents and the process which led to their design. Couples of students will have the priority in the assignment of such work.

European Space Economy Startups - Business Model Innovation

Tutor: Antonio Ghezzi

Content / Work description: The New Space Economy is forecasted to worth over 1 trillion dollars by 2040. The interest and commitment of billionaires such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson to Space represent worldwide examples of the timeliness in studying this area. However, the New Space Economy is not just about US. In the last 10 years, the European Commission launched a number of ambitious projects to make its Space Sector grow (e.g., Copernicus, Galileo). Many startups were founded based on the availability of this innovative technological infrastructure and the combination with the most advanced digital technologies. But what are the value propositions of these startups in Europe? Which are their customers? Which revenue model they implement? Drawing on the original database of European startups in the New Space Economy built by the Space Economy Observatory, students (preferably a couple) will be asked to conduct desk research to track and analyze the business model of more than 500 European startups. The thesis is intended as a Short Thesis, with the possibility to be extended to Dissertation by leveraging Business Model Innovation literature and analytical methodologies (e.g, QCA).

Literature review on Family Office and family wealth management​

Supervisor 1: Luca Manelli

Date: 21 September 2023

Tutor: Josip Kotlar

Content / Work description: Description : There is a growing interest in the phenomenon of family offices. These organizations are privately owned, often  providing services such as account aggregation or concierge, and are thought of managing a sum of $6 trillion around the world.  Their strategic agility and their care in maintaining secrecy over their activities makes them not just very influential long-term  investors, but also severely understudied. By developing a systematic literature review from academic and practitioners’ sources,  the objective of this thesis is to provide a deep overview of what we already know about family offices, and to offer new research  directions to understand better this fascinating organizational phenomenon. 

Requirements: Fluent in English; Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel​

Literature review on corporate purpose

Content / Work description: Description :  The concept of corporate purpose is arguably one of the most diffused buzzwords in contemporary business  jargon, and loosely refers to the presence of an aspiration to have an impact on stakeholders and society. Indeed, it is one of the  most unclear and ambiguous business concepts as well. While research on corporate purpose has been gaining traction, it is  fragmented in different streams, hampering the development of a coherent body of knowledge on the topic, and diminishing the  potential relevance of academic research to business practice. By developing a systematic literature review, the objective of this  thesis is taking stock of research on corporate purpose, analyzing the evolution of the concept, and generating a framework for  organizing it.

Requirements: Fluent in English, working knowledge of Microsoft Excel

The emergence of family governance: A longitudinal single case study

Content / Work description: Description: Family governance is a set of formal and informal rules, processes, and structures (e.g., family constitutions, family council, etc.) that enable the business family to regulate their participation and decisions to the ownership and family systems. Business families do not have family governance structures and rules from the get-go, but they come to structure it later, often beyond the 2nd generation. Even though it has been acknowledged by practitioners that this is of vital importance for families, research lags behind. How do family governance structures emerge within business families? This dissertation project employs a single case study of an Italian, multigenerational business family to trace a rich longitudinal analysis of how the interaction between family members and advisors leads to the emergence of a shared set of norms that regulate the conflicts and the decisions over the family affairs. Methodology : Qualitative

Requirements: Fluent in English and Italian; basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel

Mapping the liquidity events of Italian family businesses

Content / Work description: Description:  Much attention has been granted to the strategic management of the family-owned business: how to  internationalize, how to manage cash, how to devise an effective succession plan. However, in the evolution of business families,  family-owned companies can be also sold. The sale of the family business (the "liquidity event") represents an important  discontinuity in the history of a business family. Particularly in Italy,  since a few years,  we are witnessing an increase in the number  and size of liquidity events, which makes the headlines of newspapers. The purpose of this dissertation project is to  systematically map the liquidity events of family businesses in Italy and highlight their key dimensions and consequences for the business family and the local economy.  Methodology : Quantitative

Requirements: Fluent in English; very good knowledge of Microsoft Excel; basic knowledge of statistical analysis programs (SPSS, STATA) and willingness to improve quantitative analysis skills.

Direct investments in private markets by European family offices

Content / Work description: Description: Family offices are gaining much attention from analysts and entrepreneurs. Family offices, organizations that are entrusted with the management, allocation and investment of family wealth, are becoming more and more active investors in private markets. While this is a way to diversify the portfolio, it is also a way to ensure that the wealth-owning family remains entrepreneurial, even if it has sold the family business. Due to the family-centered goals, family offices are often considered as long-term investors and providers of patient capital, which makes them an interesting category of investors vis-à-vis private equity funds. However, we do not know much about the investments that family offices in Europe make. This dissertation project seeks to map the direct investments that European family offices have made in a given timeframe, and to understand their effect on the target firms’ performance after the investments. In a nutshell, this dissertation seeks to understand whether and under which conditions family offices create value for the target firm.  Methodology : Quantitative   ​

Family businesses and community resilience in the Biella textile cluster

Content / Work description: Description: The textile cluster in Biella is home to some of the most famous brands in Italian fashion, such as Zegna  or Fratelli Piacenza. Most of the companies in the clusters, both large and not-so-large, are family-owned businesses. Once the  engine of the industrial revolution in Italy, the Biella textile cluster has been undergoing a severe change, due to increased  competition and reconfiguration of the global value chains. How is the local territory and business actors responding to these  threats? What are the elements that enable or impede the resilience of the cluster? What is the role of family firms in this picture?  This exploratory thesis project employs a qualitative research design, combining primary sources (like interviews) and  secondary, archival data, to make sense of these questions. Methodology : Qualitative ​

General information, search tips, search through a database, if you did not find the document you were looking for.

Through this websile you can search all documents available at University Library System: printed books and journals, electronic resources (online articles and e-journals, e-books, databases), post-graduate theses and PhD theses, technical standards, cartography, materials. 

On this website you can use:

• the search box available on home page, the discovery tool BIBLIOSEARCH  (you can select the type of document)
• the page of Polimi research tools

As for electronic resources on subscription (online articles and e-books) you can also download the document in full-text. If you are off campus you need to have configured the proxy on your laptop browser and to have set the proxy credentials . Further information

We advise you not to do bibliographic searches on electronic resources from your mobile phone , both for reasons related to the reduced size of the screen, and because it is not possible to configure the university proxy on your mobile phone, and therefore you may obtain unreliable information regarding the availability of electronic resources.

Puoi verificare l’elenco alfabetico completo di tutti i periodici elettronici e gli e-book in abbonamento.

If ou are searching only printed books and journals or materials you can use also PolimiLibrary app , which coincides with the online catalogue .

• If you are looking for a book or an e-book enter the significant words of the title or author's surname in BIBLIOSEARCH .  
• if the thesis was discussed before July 2010 or the PhD dissertation was discussed before 2012, use the online catalgue
• if the thesis was discussed after July 2010 o r the PhD dissertation was discussed since 2012 use the online repository POLItesi
• if you don't know the discussion date, use the search engine box in home page, leaving the icon "all the resources" selected  
• If you need to do a general research and you don't know exactly what kind of document you are interested in, you'd better use the discovery tool BIBLIOSEARCH leaving the icon "all the resources" selected. If you enter one or more search terms you simultaneously search for the online catalogue (in which you find printed books and journals, printed theses, cartography and materials), the online theses repository, the e-books, the e-journals and most of online databases on subscription.  
• If you are looking for a technical standard , use the specific databases on subscription.  

Through the databases you can find out publications about an even very specific subject or publications about an author. You can access the full-text of a document through the database, if the Politecnico has a subscription, by pressing the SFX button.  You can search for journal articles and documents directly in a specific database specialized in the sector of your interest or in the citational databases (Scopus and Web of Science). You find the complete A-Z list of databases on subscription here .

Some databases can also be searched through the search engine, while others can only be accessed via the native interface of the single database. Further information

After having retrieved the bibliographic references of the articles, you can check the availability of the full text by clicking the SFX button. If the full-text is not available, check in the Online Catalogue if the journal containing the article is present in paper format in the Politecnico libraries. If the paper document is not available either, a link to the Document Delivery service through Nilde is available.

You can try to search for it yourself in the catalogues of other libraries outside the Politecnico or you can request the book you need through the inter-library loan service or request the article or book chapter you are looking for through the Document Delivery service. If you need help you can always contact the Reference Service .
