Additional activities
Bootcamp Business Etiquette & Protocol in China & India
Through practical examples and discussions of general and business etiquette, these bootcamps aim not only to help students build an awareness of the cultural differences they may face in the Chinese and Indian economies, but also to enable them to develop an appreciation and understanding of these differences in order to behave appropriately, avoid mistakes, and communicate more effectively with others. On the one hand, the international etiquette protocol will be covered, and on the other, the norms and idiosyncrasies observed in these economies will be examined.
managerial development
This program is designed to complement the content of the thematic blocks with the necessary training to achieve its internalization. The training will be conceived from a triple perspective: it will start with technical assistance, give personal support to the participant and, in the end, it will pose the individual and group challenges that are necessary to achieve the objectives set.
Case studies': Case method
The practical component of the program is essential and completes the theoretical training. For this, during the course there will be debates on current issues and interest in each of the subjects, simulations for decision-making applied to real situations or practical cases where the problems raised will be analyzed from an academic point of view and the proposed solutions, as well as the criteria taken into account to carry them out.
Webinars
Most of the training is carried out asynchronously, that is, the exchange of knowledge is carried out through a platform that allows the sharing of written texts without the need for people to be connected at the same time.
Additionally, in each of the modules synchronous sessions or 'webinars' are organized, where all the participants are connected at the same time through an application, which allows the exchange of knowledge in 'real time'.
