Teaching Methodologies
The course will work with theoretical-practical classes, seeking to combine the expository dimension of the subject with the necessary
practical illustration, where the teacher and students will present and discuss the resolution of several exemplary cases from real life.
The purpose of these works is threefold:
i) develop the organizations’ ability to solve real problems;
ii) familiarization of the student body with the application of the “Case Method”;
iii) enhance relationships with other disciplines.
