Basic knowledge of calculation, basic notions of economic concepts
Acquisition of a series of knowledge in relation to the conceptual framework of the company and the economic system in which it operates, as well as the mastery of the main economic and management techniques. That is, we want to cover the two aspects of knowledge of the subject, on the one hand the explanatory and clarifying aspect of the business phenomenon and on the other the normative and prescription aspect. In short, meet the two major objectives of the subject, one of a formative and general and another specific and applied.
Chapter 1: examines the conceptual framework of the company and the economic system in which it operates. In this sense, the nature of the company, the business function and the forms of companies are analyzed from a legal, institutional, and socioeconomic perspective, treating in the latter case, with special emphasis, the problem related to business size.
Chapter 2: the financial area of the company is studied in the first place, the financial function, the basic concepts of the balance sheet and the result of the undertaking and secondly the economic-financial analysis.
Chapter 3: the functional area of investment and financing in the company is studied. First, different investment methods are studied. Secondly, the different sources of financing are studied.
Chapter 4: the taxation that affects companies is studied, corporate taxes and VAT, as well as their incidence in their income statement.
Chapter 5: Macroeconomic variables studies basic terminology of macroeconomic concepts.
Chapter 6: Industrial policies, its instruments, and its impact on the development of the economy are studied.

Although the teacher will use the master class to transmit knowledge of the core aspects of each topic, the student must be an active part of the learning process (interactive master class). In this sense, initiatives on inquiry, motivation and the process of knowledge of things will be promoted, with the student having to create them and adapt them to their own learning process. The teacher will perform tasks of guidance, guidance and reinforcement of those aspects that present greater difficulty. Students will be provided with abundant bibliographic material, including theoretical content and exercises. To encourage critical thinking, discussion and reflection on the part of the student, work groups will be set up in problem classes and seminars in order to complete the learning process through group discussion.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Completion of two individual partial tests and, where appropriate, another final test, also individual, on the theoretical and practical contents of the subject | 60% | 0 | 0 | 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 |
Realization and delivery of exercise blocks for groups of students: fist part | 10% | 0 | 0 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 |
Realization and delivery of exercise blocks for groups of students: second part | 10% | 0 | 0 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 |
Realization of seminars and controls: first part | 10% | 0 | 0 | 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 |
Realization of seminars and controls: second part | 10% | 0 | 0 | 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 |
Continuous evaluation system
Individual written tests: at the end of the second chapter there will be an individual written test on chapters 1 and 2; this test will have a weight of 30% in the final grade. Also, at the end of the fourth chapter there will be an individual written test on chapters 3 and 4; also this test will have a weight of 30% in the final grade.
Delivery of blocks of exercises: Throughout the course, the student must submit a series of blocks of exercises proposed on homogeneous parts of the subject. The blocks of exercises will be carried out by groups of between 3 and 4 students. The weight of these blocks of exercises is 20% of the final grade.
Participation: the participation of the student will be assessed through a series of classroom controls and the completion of the corresponding seminars. Attendance to class and tutorials will also be taken into account. The weight of the participation is 20% of the final grade.
The individual written tests, the delivery of exercises and participation make up the system of continuous evaluation. For the calculation of the final grade of continuous assessment, a minimum grade of 3 will be required for the individual tests.
In the case that a student, through this system of continuous assessment, obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5, but without reaching the minimum grade of 3 in any of the partial, and not present to the recovery, the final grade will be of 4,5.
Remedial exam
Those students who have not passed the subject through continuous assessment will have one final test consisting of a test of recovery of the wholesubject and in some specific cases of one of the two parties (those who have a grade equal to or greater than 5 in some of the tests).
In these cases the evaluation system of the continuous assessment will no longer be taken into account (the notes of the exercise blocks or the participation note will not be taken into account). When the exam is of the whole subject the student must take a 5 to pass. When the exam is a part, the final grade will be the average grade between the grade obtained in the recovery exam and the individual test score already passed.
In order to participate in the recovery, the student must have previously evaluated activities that involve a minimum 2/3 of the final grade of the subject.
To obtain an honors degree, in addition to obtaining a minimum grade of 9, the student must have successfully participated in the continuous assessment system.
A student will be considered as non-evaluable if he / she does not appear in any of the individual tests.
Each student must go compulsorily to the evaluation test programmed by his group. In the case of not being able to attend, for whatever reason, to any of the partial tests, their recovery will be made only on the day of the recovery test. No extraordinary tests will be scheduled.
Once the final grades are exposed in the Virtual Campus, a period of review of grades will open.
Second enrollment students must complete the same assessment process as the first enrollment students
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation of the grade will be scored with a zero (0). For example, plagiarizing, copying, letting copy, ..., an evaluation activity, will imply suspending this evaluation activity with a zero (0). The evaluation activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these evaluation activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, without the opportunity to recover it in the same course.
The dates of continuous evaluation and delivery of works will be published on the virtual campus and may be subject to programming changes for reasons of adaptation to possible incidents. Always be informed in the virtual campus about these changes as it is understood that this is the usual platform for exchange of information between teachers and students.
