Teaching Methodologies
The academic work must be accompanied by one or two teachers (in this case, preferably by two teachers from each of the schools involved in the MGEA).
The adoption of the recommended methodologies will allow students to: acquire knowledge; discover working methods to be used; develop motivation for scientific research in management; detect the importance of the activity developed in the context of the investigation; apply knowledge in new situations; develop the dissertation in a cohesive and robust way.
