Competencies and objectives
Course context for academic year 2024-25
Fundamentals of Business Economics is a basic introductory course in which students acquire knowledge that allows them to be familiar with administration concepts and tools, so students can interpret business reality from a systematic and global perspective. From this point of view, the main focus of the subject is based on studying the company, the employer, and main business decisions. This is done in order to establish a first contact with reasoning knowledge and techniques that, later, will be developed in subjects such as business management and leadership. In particular, we can highlight the direct relationship with the following subjects:
- Operations and Production Processes in Tourism Companies. 2nd year.
- Human Resources Management and Planning in Tourism. 2nd year.
- Strategic Management of Tourism Companies. 3rd year.
- Quality Management in Tourism. 4th year.
- Growth Strategies in Tourism Companies. 4th year.
- Innovations and Trends in the Hotel Sector. 4th year.
