Methodology: case studies

The PDE is based on the practical application of fundamental theory and management concepts and is taught mainly through business cases. The case is first worked on an individual level, then in a group and finally in a general session with all the participants.

The general session is led by an expert with extensive executive experience in each subject who will apply their knowledge based on real facts. Future managers accelerate their careers by learning to make decisions and solve the type of demanding situations that they come across in management.

In the initial phase, the necessary theory will provide a common base for all students and prepare them for resolving cases and consolidating their learning by getting the most out of the programme.
