3. The business environment.
4. Management subsystem: planning, organization, direction and control.
5. Entrepreneurship.
Internships: The schedule of internships, in terms of contents, coincides with the theoretical contents. That is to say, a series of practices will be proposed where the contents seen in theory will be worked on.
Timing: The 24 sessions of the subject (12 of expository and 12 of interactive) will be distributed, approximately, as follows: 8 sessions for contents 1, 2 and 3; 6 sessions for content 4 and 10 for content 5.

The sessions dedicated to expository lectures will aim to introduce students to the contents of the topics that make up the program, emphasizing the particularly relevant aspects and the relationships between them.
The interactive sessions will focus on the practical application of the theoretical contents presented in the lectures. These sessions will aim to solve cases and practical exercises to improve students' ability to recognize, define and analyze the problems faced by companies, and to make the most appropriate decisions, while facilitating interaction among students.
All these activities will be complemented with the personal work that the students will have to dedicate to each one of them, such as searching for bibliographic material, reading such material, writing conclusions, etc.
For a better understanding of the subject, the establishment of contacts with different groups and entrepreneurs through conferences, visits to companies and business incubators will be sought.
The expository and interactive sessions will be developed in the official timetable published by the center. The teaching staff will monitor student attendance and participation in the sessions.
In the tutorials, the teachers will guide the students and will help them to solve the doubts and problems they may face in the learning process.
The course will have an operational virtual classroom, which will be the preferred mode of delivery of activities. Likewise, the forum of this classroom, the institutional mail and the Microsoft Teams platform will be used as communication channels.
The continuous evaluation will collect the grade derived from all the activities developed by the students (e.g., analysis of cases, delivery of exercises, assignments, etc.) and will have a weight in the final evaluation of 50%. The remaining 50% will correspond to the score obtained in a final test. However, in order to add the continuous evaluation grade, students must obtain at least a 2 out of 5 in the final test. The aggregate grade must be equal or higher than 5 points out of 10 to pass the subject. If the student does not show up for the final exam, the grade will be a "no-presented".
The list of competences that will be evaluated in this subject is detailed below:
- Continuous assessment: CB2; CB3; CB4; CT2; CT4; CT5; CT6; CT7; CT8; CE22; CE25.
- Final exam: CB1; CG1; CE22; CE25
In the case of fraudulent completion of cases, exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and grade review" will apply.
This evaluation system will be applied both in the first opportunity and in the recovery.
Attendance to class (both lectures and interactive classes) is compulsory, unless the student has special permission not to attend classes following the Instruction N. 1/2017, of the General Secretariat (Secretaría Xeral), on the dispensation of class attendance in certain circumstances. These students will be evaluated with a specific final exam that will account for 70% of the final grade, the remaining 30% will correspond to a work proposed by the teacher and that the student will perform autonomously. If the student does not show up for the final exam, the grade will be a "no-presented".
The course consists of 6 credits and each credit is equivalent to 25 hours.
The total hours of work are distributed as follows:
Lectures (24h classwork, 36h personal and autonomous work).
Interactive classes (24h classwork, 36h personal and autonomous work)
Group tutoring (3h classwork, 10h personal and autonomous work)
Individualized tutoring (4h classwork, 2h personal and autonomous work)
Total classwork: 60h; total personal and autonomous work: 90h
Active participation in the classroom and search for information on the topics proposed in the different sessions. Participation in the talks of businessmen and visits to programmed companies.
