Description

Fundamental analysis tools within the scope of a Strategic Marketing Plan, through the application of metrics that serve as support in the company's decision-making and in the application of management indicators. Study of the instruments of descriptive statistics to organize, summarize, deepen and present the information coming from secondary or own sources and to make inference by means of the same.

Learning outcomes

Understand and apply the basic concepts of statistical probability and inference, basic statistical calculations and the computer tools that facilitate them.

Working methodology

Theoretical sessions
MD1.Master class: Expository class sessions based on the teacher's explanation attended by all students enrolled in the subject
MD3. Presentations: Multimedia formats that support face-to-face classes
 

Guided learning
MD5. Seminars: Face-to-face format in small work groups (between 14 and 40). These are sessions linked to the face-to-face sessions of the subject that allow to offer a practical perspective of the subject and in which the participation of the student is key.
MD6. Debates and forums: Face-to-face or online conversations, according to the objectives that the teacher responsible for the subject pursues. 
MD7. Case study: Dynamics that starts from the study of a case, which serves to contextualize the student in a specific situation, the teacher can propose different activities, both individually and in groups, among their students
 

Autonomous learning
MD9. Solving exercises and problems: Non-contact activity dedicated to solving practical exercises based on the data provided by the teacher
MD10. Research and critical reading of articles. Students start from a working hypothesis that they will develop, following the phases of the research methodology, including the critical reading of articles.

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured. The TecnoCampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.

Learning activities

AF1. Theoretical sessions
AF3. Work in group
AF4. Individual work
AF5. Personal study
AF10. Search, read and prepare reviews / text comments on bibliography / information through ICT / virtual platform.

Evaluation system

- SE2. Individual and Group Work 30% (Theoretical Exercises within each topic)

- SE5. (Portfolio), SE3 (Presentations and Exhibitions) 10% (Case Studies, Reading Control, Presentation of the results of the Group Exercises, Discussion of Articles and Class Participation)

- SE4. 60% Final Exam

To pass the course you must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 4/10 in the final exam, and that the average of the continuous assessment and the exam is higher than 5/10.

There will be a recovery at the end of the quarter. Only the Final Exam grade will be recovered, so 40% of the grade is unrecoverable.
