Teaching method
Classes are organized around cases delivered throughout the semester, that must be previously read, serving for the discussion and feedback upon structured questions. Each case is read, analysed and discussed within teams, from one ore more theoretical perspective, studied previously. Theory is by this means applied to organizational reality. Students are encouraged to interact and question each other and with the teacher, permanently. Groups present and get feedback to improve the quality of their reasoning and work. The cases will help students to aplly and relate concepts, to understand the practical apllication of the knowledge and to discuss and decide within the group.
