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. Below the guest speakers of the course: Masterchef Italia Sky – Nils Hartmann, Head of Movie Channels at Sky Italia – www.masterchef.sky.it Eataly - Paolo Bongiovanni, Marketing Director Italy – www.eataly.net Berlucchi – Paolo Ziliani, Owner – www.berlucchi.it Joia Restaurant – Alta Cucina Naturale – Pietro Leemann, Owner and Chef – www.joia.it Branca – Nicolò Branca, Owner – www.branca.it Barilla – Giuseppe Morici, President Region Europe – www.barilla.com Proyecto Expo 2015 Chile – Guillermo Ariztia, Chile Pavillon Director – www.expomilan.cl Winery Il Cavallante, Milano – Sergio Morpurgo, Owner Heineken – Floris Cobelens, Marketing Director – www.heineken.com TRDN – Martin Oetting, Managing Director – www.trnd.com GROM – Federico Grom, Owner and Founder – www.grom.it/en Tetra Pak – Matthew Hatton, Director Competitor Intelligence – www.tetrapak.com BioHombre – Matteo Panini, CEO – www.hombre.it Acetaia Maletti – Carmen & Claudio Maletti Cantine Riunite & CIV – Vanni Lusetti, CEO; Francesca Benini, Sales & Marketing Manager; Elena Lottici, Export Manager; Mario Vandi, Brand Manager – www.riunite.it GlemGas – Marco Guerzoni, Program Product Manager – www.glemgas.com Bibendum Catering – LaFranceschetta58 – Sabrina Lazzereschi & Marta Pulini, Owners and Founders – www.bibendumcatering.it , www.franceschetta58.it DISCLAIMER - Since most of the videos are conducted with those whose native language is not English, we have decided to sometimes preserve their more emphatic speech to keep a tighter match between the audio and the subtitles....

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.

I appreciate a lot this course, many thanks for the opportunity and to Prof. Troilo for the very high quality of the lessons. The program is very exhaustive and all the subjects are presented in a very clear way; but actually the added value I found is the passion that Prof. Troilo is able to transfer! I strongly recomend this course, is a meaningful experience!

furthermore, the interviews that highlighted the different strategic approaches explained in the course were useful.

What an amazing instructor Prof. Gabriele Troilo is, I must say. This course has revamped many misconceptions and disinformation I had about food venture management. Particularly, this course has helped me learn about proper positioning based on the market. We also know what marketing options we should brainstorm in the food and beverage business.

Excelente forma de plantear y describir el panorama para la industria de comida y bebidas. Para alguien que no se formo completamente en el área y empezó a trabajar en ella este curso es la perfecto para inducir a esta industria de una manera paulatina y sencilla con excelente visuales y ejemplos para que cualquiera pueda comprender y comparar.

Corso davvero ben curato, con un Professore d'eccezione in grado di trasmettere una autentica passione per quel che insegna e vive attraverso un formato limpido e ben strutturato.

Ringraziamenti doverosi anche per la quantità e qualità di contenuti extra molto utili e motivanti.

E' stata un esperienza utile e sorprendente.

An excellent course. Very detailed and beautifully instructed. It wasn't helpful for the field of Food and Beverage Management alone but Business management and marketing overall. The instructor explained everything very clearly and loved the examples, links and in-between quizzes. Highly recommend every marketing student to do the course.

An excellent course! True insight into the world of 'F&B' (Food and Beverage) for the beginner (which is what I am).

Gabriele Troilo (Associate Professor) is an 'excellent guide' on your 'delicious journey,' who dispenses 'real world' information about the industry and interviews many relevant guests (within it) along the way!

Yiyecek ve içecek yönetimi sertifika numarası URL'sini veya bağlantısını nasıl doğrulayabilirim? Bence sisteme doğrulama numarasını koyarsanız tüm öğrenciler için çok daha iyi olur, çünkü çoğu öğrencinin bana da daha az maliyeti vardır .. Yardıma ihtiyacım var .. Mesajlarımı okuduğunuz için çok teşekkür ederim

Saygılarla.

Really interesting course. It includes both basic marketing concepts and interesting insights (although some are old, they are still pretty solid). I would 100% recommend this course not only to whoever is following a career in the sector but also to food passionates, because of the interesting insights and interviews.

I really enjoyed the course, the content is very relevant to my work as a market consultant specializing food supply chain and foodservice. It is easy to understand, and interesting case studies. The professor presented the ideas in a very well-structured way, helped me to understand the whole picture on F&B industry.

ben strutturato e con il giusto ritmo: utile sia per chi ha già esperienza nel settore per avere una struttura mentale che favorisca una lettura alle differenti decisioni operative che vengono prese quotidianamente, sia per chi vuole iniziare da neofita a comprendere meglio le dinamiche dl f&b management

really good learning materials. What is really interesting is the examples taken and the interviews with people who are resoponsible of the brands. very clear lectures.

However some links didn't load as those are not valid anymore.. if you can check on these then other students will benefit from those.

I greatly enjoyed Pr. Troilo's classes and I learned a lot of new things. His explanations were always clear and I liked the recap slides (they were very useful as they summarized the lesson nicely and were a great help for the quizzes). I will certainly re-watch this course if need be.
