Teaching-learning methodologies (TLM) adopt an active approach, integrating theory and practice to develop skills in international
management and marketing.
TLM1 Expository and interactive classes: Introduce fundamental concepts and promote discussion based on contemporary examples, case
studies and global news (LO1, LO2).
TLM2 Case studies: Allow critical analysis of real situations, focusing on entry, segmentation and positioning strategies in international
markets (LO2, LO3).
TLM3 Group work:G Develop projects applied to international contexts, such as the preparation of strategic plans and marketing campaigns
(LO3, LO5).
TLM4 Reading and analysis of scientific articles: Encourages autonomous research and critical reflection on emerging topics, such as
sustainability and digital transformation (LO4, LO5).
TLM5 Practical workshops: Enable students to apply analytical tools, such as PESTEL, and explore trends in international marketing (LO4,
LO6).
TLM6 Oral presentations: Develop communication and argumentation skills, essential for intercultural negotiation and management (LO3,
LO6).
These methodologies are linked to the pedagogical model, promoting active learning, collaboration and autonomy, while ensuring the
practical application of the knowledge acquired.
