• Theoretical presentation "structured knowledge": through the theoretical presentation, the most current and reference knowledge will be structured in the three areas of the master's degree: operations management, project management and strategic management of innovation.
• Presentations by professionals of "business relevance": through presentations by professionals from relevant companies, a set of best practices will be presented. Sharing them and critical reflection will allow for the generation of greater knowledge.
• Case study: analysis, discussion and proposal of solutions to real situations presented based on cases where students apply the acquired knowledge in a practical way.
• Project-based learning problems “PBL”: throughout the course, participants work in teams to prepare, analyze, solve and present the project-problems that are presented to them.
• Other active teaching methods: students will also develop their knowledge and individual and group skills through other activities such as simulators, board games and role playing.
