ABOUT US

Discover more about us!

We are graduate students who attended the course “Geopolitics for Business” offered by Bocconi University. Professor Andrea Colli and PhD candidate Gian Maria Mallarino are in charge of this course. It started in 2022 on the initiative of Professor Colli, upon the realisation that there was a gap in the education of future managers since they had often neglected geopolitical issues.

Alongside lectures and seminars, the professor engaged us in the construction of a geopolitical index to put into practice the notions we discussed together. In order to build the index, the attending students were randomly divided in eight groups, six working on sub-indexes plus two managerial groups. The coordination group had the task to standardize the data and build the final index in the second place. The communication group had to build the website. 

 

To discuss the project and the idea of the website, Professor Andrea Colli kindly answered to us and explained the main reasons.

About us: composition of the groups

This project will be enriched and perfected by upcoming classes of Geopolitics students. Meanwhile, here you can see the composition of the different groups of each year.

YEAR 2021-2022

The students of the academic year 2022-2023 have been the first one to work on the index and therefore to create it. Each working group was assigned to work on a specific dimension of the index. Two other groups were in charge of the website and of the communication. You can see the contributors here:

  • Group 1 – Political Risk: Alessandro Lamborizio, Lindsay Heenan, Mustafa Yilmaz Karabayir, Nahid Memarzadeh
  • Group 2 – Government Interference: Georgi Golubev, Guglielmo Xuan De Vincentiis, Leonardo Gandolfo, Sergiu Laurentiu Vonsovici

YEAR 2022-2023
The students of the academic year 2022-2023 have been split into three groups, with a specific task assigned to each. In detail, the data group was in charge of improving the data of the previous year and finding new data simultaneously. The consultancy group focused on a burning topic to deep dive into geopolitical risk issues. Finally, the marketing group was in charge of the website, in order to improve it and enable a broader communication. You can find the names of the contributing students below:
 
  • Data group: Iacopo Andreone, Aswin Sri Kumaran G, Davide Pochettino, Oscar Adamsson, Diva Barisone.
  • Consultancy group: Simone Conti, Camilla Cucco, Apostolos Georgiadis, William Wester, Andrea Volpe.
  • Marketing group: Giulio Ugolini, Sophia Djounov, Chiara Giardini, Camille Latil.
