Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The teaching method chosen for the development of the sessions in this course is a combination of lectures (in which both the basics of the topics to be studied and the recent trends and future research are transmitted) and the presentation of summaries or research papers by the students (which are about a topic of the literature within the framework of corporate governance).

There is a prior mandatory requirement for several of the sessions. Students have to read those articles from the literature that have been explicitly recommended by the teacher. This allows the teacher to explain in more detail the complex aspects for the students, while encouraging dialogue and group discussion.
