Teaching methodologies and assessment
For the Sales Force Management course, three innovative methodologies are applied: Project-Based Learning (PBL): Students work on practical projects, such as creating sales plans and simulating team management, applying theoretical concepts to real-life situations. This methodology fosters practical skills, such as problem-solving and decision-making. Flipped Classroom: Students study theoretical content at home using digital resources, while class time is dedicated to practical activities, discussions, and clarifying doubts, encouraging active and applied learning. Real Case Studies: Analysis of company cases where students apply sales force management knowledge and commercial strategies, developing critical thinking and adaptability to different business contexts.
