Teaching language: Spanish
The teaching methodology is theoretical-practical using various methods (presentations of theories and experiences, case studies, personal and group discussions, tutorials), with the concern of involving and provoking the student's intellectual and emotional situations through directed, autonomous and supervised activities. For the development and evaluation of these activities, work will be done individually and in teams, and tutorials will be carried out with the teams by the professor.
In addition, the commerce management part adapts the learning methodology "Learning by doing" through developing a real case study or "Live Project" to bring the student closer to the current needs of firms in the sector. In the sessions, a decisional dilemma by an essential agent in a functional area of a firm in the hotel sector is worked on and analyzed in teams. The actor-decision maker and the firm are investigated according to the phases of a case study. The development and resolution usually occur in at least four phases, although they may vary depending on each case. Finally, the case study will be presented, explaining each phase considering a brief teaching note.
Adequate monitoring of a student's course generally involves the following activities:
1. Directed
1.1. Attendance at presentations by the professor and guest experts with individual participation in the classroom.
1.2. Discussion of case studies in the classroom.
1.3. Discussion of progressive development and presentation of a case study in the classroom.
2. Autonomous
2.1. Self-study through the textbook, slides, links to videos, and other resources on the virtual campus.
2.2. Study cases: personal reading, analysis based on theory, report, and presentation on the virtual campus.
2.4. Development ofa complete case study on the virtual campus.
3. Supervised
3.1. Tutoring to solve personal study cases.
3.2. Tutoring for the development of the group study case.

The course evaluation consists of the following system:
A) CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:
The overall grade of the course will be calculated as the arithmetic mean mark of the two parts: 50% of Strategic Management + 50% of Commerce Management. Being an essential condition to be able to make the average that, in both parts, at least a grade of 5 is obtained.

b) Answers to the individual questions formulated in the case studies and during the discussions, which will be worth 20% of the final grade.
c) Progressive development with the first document of the own and local case study, which will be worth 20% of the final grade.
