To achieve the objectives of the subject, the following teaching methodologies will be used:

TEACHING WILL BE FACE-TO-FACE

1. Lectures with ICT support: In these sessions the professors will develop the main concepts and fundamental notions of the subject. To facilitate their learning will be examples of companies and practical applications will be made.

2. Work sessions focused on a case: The case methodology will be used to better understand the different theoretical concepts worked on in the lectures.

3. Various support activities: With the aim of bringing the student to the world of the company during the course will be proposed reading articles in the press and / or specialized magazines where news related to the concepts that are working on the subject, as well as attending conferences and talks.

4 Face-to-face tutorials: The student will have a few hours where the teachers of the subject can help him / her to solve the doubts that arise in the study of the subject and in the resolution of problems.

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools have influenced both the process and the final outcome of the activity. A lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in partial or total penalization of the grade for the activity, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.

The final grade for the course will be based on the weighted average of five components:

1. Class attendance and participation. Regular attendance and completion of the exercises and activities scheduled for each topic are required to successfully follow the course. These aspects will be monitored throughout the term and will result in a grade that accounts for 10% of the final course grade.
2. Midterm exam. A written exam will be held halfway through the course. The grade for this exam will account for 20% of the final course grade.
3. Final project. A monographic paper on family business, which will account for 25% of the final course grade.
4. Final exam. The student will be assessed on the contents of the course. The grade for this exam will represent 30% of the final course grade.
5. Case study presentation. Each student will present a practical case assigned by the instructor, prepared in groups. This activity will account for 15% of the final course grade.

Topass the course, students must:

• Obtain a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 in evaluation components 3, 4, and 5, and
• Achieve a weighted average of at least 5 out of 10 across all five evaluation components.

If the final weighted average is equal to or above 3.5 but below 5, the student will fail the course but will be eligible for a retake.

If the final weighted average is below 3.5, the student will fail the course without the right to retake.

A student who does not take part in any evaluable activity will be considered \"not assessable\". Therefore, once a student completes any continuous assessment component, they can no longer be graded as \"not assessable.\"
