- Presentation and discussion of concepts, methodologies and techniques (derived from the cases presented) using bibliography and audiovisual media (eg videos, websites, etc);
- Analysis of articles and respective reflection and discussion.
- Application of the developed contents to a group work where students should analyse the relationship strategies of a real company, consolidating the results of learning.

The exposition of concepts, theories and strategies will always be complemented with case studies and practical examples, seeking to stimulate an attitude of questioning, critical reflection and proposal of solutions or alternatives, in order to achieve the proposed objectives.

Demonstration of the coherence between the teaching methodologies and the learning outcomes

In order to ensure the harmonization between teaching methodologies and the learning objectives of the Course, there will be a constant concern for the adaptation and readjustment of the methodologies regarding the different points of the program and the results that the students are demonstrating.

The exposition of the syllabus, using scientific and technical sources will be held in relation to each of the 6 points of the program, in order to introduce and interrelate the concepts and fundamentals of a more theoretical nature, allowing to achieve objectives 1 to 3.
This methodology will be complemented by the viewing of videos, websites and the analysis and resolution of practical and real cases and their reflection and discussion, especially in points 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the program. Points 3 to 6 of the program will also be dealt with in a very practical manner, and their application through group work is suggested.

These works allow and facilitate the sharing of knowledge, the search for information from external sources and the contact with practical reality, and enable the application of concepts, their concrete understanding and their adaptation to different contexts (objectives 4 and 5).
