Metodología


The teaching methodology employs presentation of themes in class, group analysis and discussion, critical reading of selected articles and guest speakers presentations.

Practical cases will be dealt with in groups, whose membership will be established by the teaching team before the beginning of the course. The composition of groups will remain the same for all of the course case studies. Each group will have to submit a power point presentation for each case study prior to the relevant session.

ESADE programmes are designed for adults capable of managing their own learning. Basically, what participants learn from the course will largely depend on what they put into it.
