Methodology

By placing participants in the face of real business conflicts, executives are called upon to assume the role of decision-makers in circumstances similar to those of their daily work in organizations.

The cases constitute challenges that require effective responses following rigorous analysis of limited or even insufficient information, in ambiguous or complex contexts from a political-economic perspective.

Individual diagnosis and decisions are negotiated with experienced, talented, and ambitious colleagues.

Phases of the case method:

• Individual study: Reading and studying each case in order to analyze the facts, alternatives, and decisions that unfold within it.
• Group work: The richness of this step lies in the fact that each participant presents approaches and solutions based on their training and professional experience. The various approaches are also an excellent opportunity to examine different management criteria.
• General session: With a broader view and already the result of the examination carried out in the two previous phases, the professor directs and coordinates the debate, synthesizes the main aspects of the case, relates them to the most significant theories, and highlights the relevant values and options, considering the various alternatives and possible decision criteria.

Other methodologies

The short program also uses management simulators and conferences, promoting a dynamic and practical environment for the immediate application of financial concepts.
