Objectives

The internationalization of companies is a scientifically studied issue and is also a fundamental practical mechanism for the success of economies. However, internationalization processes pose major organizational and financial challenges to companies and require them to understand and understand their internal mechanisms and financial support. This Unit (UC) also seeks to respond to the need to link knowledge centers and the labor market by strengthening the link between scientific knowledge and its practical application.

Teaching methodologies and assessment

The teaching and assessment methodology of this unit is based on the students' participation, namely in the continuous participation in the classes through a constant debate of the students under the guidance of the teacher and in the performance of individual or group oral work. In addition to spontaneous oral participation or conditioned by preprogrammed questions or presentations, the UC also provides for the individual written evaluation of the students through a written face-to-face test that will allow to gauge the scientific knowledge acquired and a scientific essay of about 1500 words typed with notes and bibliography, which will allow students to assess the students' ability to conduct scientific research, use sources, analyze data, draw conclusions and present them in a coherent way.
