Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria	The classes of this course unit are theoretical and practical. As a rule, the presentation of the theoretical concepts is followed by practical cases in order to demonstrate its application within specific organisational contexts. In order to achieve a greater learning success within each of the contents there is a departure from a simple case study to more complex case studies. During the classes there is an attempt to evolve all the students in the discussion of each case study in order to stimulate critical analysis of the practical and theoretical implications of each case. The assessment is done in two moments during the unit course and based on two exams as follows. The first exam is valued in 40% and the second exam is valued in 60%. The written tests will take place on October 31 and in January.
