Description


This subject is intended to train students to make a marketing plan, with special emphasis on the strategic planning of the discipline. Students will analyze the strategy of different successful companies, make case studies and develop their own marketing plan. 

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer the prejudices of others.
