  Description
Case study In the practical sessions, the student or group of students will have to elaborate a sustainable business plan based on an idea proposed by the student. The development of this plan will be carried out according to a schedule of successive deliveries of work to the teacher. In each session, the students will obtain data, mainly through the Internet, under the script and supervision of the teacher. The students will have to analyze and support the decisions they make, as well as evaluate the coherence of their decisions in each of the parts or sessions of the project. These decisions will be made in field sessions with a non-profit organization. It is intended to work together with users of this organization following a Service Learning methodology.
