DESCRIPTION
Good management means mastering skills that help the optimization of decision-making processes to be able to solve problems effectively; such skills include being able to identify pros and cons in decision-making and assessing possible side-effects in the fastest and most efficient way; other skills are for instance being able to face a negotiation process effectively while maintaining the right climate. Business executives must have excellent academic training but also very defined skills to motivate employees.

Additionally, the subject provides students with the necessary tools to develop their entrepreneurship and intra-entrepreneurship skills as a mechanism for personal and professional development.
