The course starts with really valuable insights into main trends of modern IO management, but goes on with questionable points on the HR mainstreams. The interviews might be helpful, although the question is not always answered. 50% of video lectures are written/narrated in absolutely non-understandable language (for non-native speakers), the speed is not adjusted to the listener, it is therefore much more helpful to read the transcript. The true value of the quizzes doesn´t require any critical thinking - the tasks are mostly oriented towards "choose three trends" or "choose the relevant..." etc. Final quiz can be easily done without any preparatory work or going through the materials of the week. The absence of the literature on the topics discussed is another minus. The quizzes themselves haven´t been checked for spelling etc., there was even one case when the question was asked twice within one quiz (week 3 or 4, can not quite remember).

This course provides a general and accessible academic introduction to SDGs in all its facets. A highly interdisciplinary team of experts offers their insight into the intricacies of the matter.

The emergence of the SDGs and each goal were critically reflected upon.

I have acquired an understanding of how the SDGs relate to addressing global challenges such as inequality, climate change, poverty, unsustainable consumption and production, peace and security. The course has helped me to reflect on the challenges with which the SDGs are confronted, giving a very realistic outlook on the SDGs I find the couse really excellent and a great way to reflect critically on the 17 goals. It also inspiring me to think about how we can reform, adapt and continue making progress. Thank you.

A well thought out program, very detailed, full of information. I learnt a great deal from this course, I would gladly recommend it for anyone who is passionate about International Development.

This course have help me take more critical decision and a closer look on how international systems work.

This course provides participants with the opportunity to explore the multifaceted concept of international development in order to be able to interpret and lead its challenges, opportunities and constant evolutions. Starting from an in-depth analysis of the current international development architecture, its key actors and trends, the course then illustrates the main international organizations' governance systems; identifies their funding and financing tools necessary to implement development programs and achieve sustainable development goals; and explains how to effectively leverage on human capital to drive organizational success and be ‘fit for purpose’ in an ever changing international development scenario.

I strongly recommend this course able to provide you with a deeper knowledge of international development, the actors involved, the funding governance mechanism in international development, the funding and innovative financing aspects that are crucial to sustaining the activities and mandates of IOs today and in the future, the shift from personal administration to strategic agent management, as well as about what is needed today to succeed as a professional serving international development, with the participation of many experts about the topics.

Cool, finally i am able to finish this course. It gave me a lot of information and knowledge about International Development. Besides, watching videos, this course also provide us with discussion platform related with the course. There were quizzes through-out watching the videos. The exams were great. Thank you University Bocconi and Coursera

Estuvo muy motivar el curso.

Super! Thank You :)

Fantastic course

It was great 👍

I love it!

This course is very useful for people with beginner to intermediate level of knowledge on International Development and International Organizations (IOs). It provides a comprehensive discussion on a variety of subjects in international development management, from who the actors are, funding mechanisms, to human resource management along with challenges and innovative ways for IOs in fulfilling their mandates moving forward.

For improvement, I think it would be good to include more real-life and concrete examples of some of the concepts that were discussed, as well as simplifying some of the explanations so it can be better understood, especially since this topic covers a lot of technical areas and jargons. Overall it was a very insightful lesson and helped me understand more about the management side of international development, thank you Bocconi University and Coursera!

Very interesting course, very well structured. I really enjoyed the chapter on financing development. Most professional participants are very clear and relevant, but some of them bring a minor contribution to the class. In general, there is a good dynamic and the class is never boring. A major point of improvement would be the assessment (per chapter and final), that is very basic and doesn't reflect a good understanding of the class. I recommend following this course, that allows to get an overview and of the main challenges and trends of management of international development.

I liked this course a lot because it taught me different concepts of business management from a sustainable side due to the ODS, economics and human resources. He taught me what business is like at an international level and different organizations that work in it. I would like them to implement more languages to see this course, because I am sure that many people are interested in learning, only that they are limited by not having a good level of English.
