LINKAGE TO THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS:
Throughout the content of the subject, the following Sustainable Development Goals are worked on:
- SDG 8 : Target 8.2 (cost decisions in Unit 2 to achieve higher productivity is especially worked on in value-added sectors (e.g.: decision to self-supply (manufacturing) versus outsourcing (purchasing)), allocation of scarce resources...), and even in Unit 4 (localization of the most productive activities with the
activities with ABC analysis).
- SDG 9 : Target 9.1 (in Unit 2: allocation of scarce resources, outsourcing...) is particularly addressed,maintaining or abandoning a product...) and 9.5 (mainly on productive capacity decisions in Unit 1).
- SDG 12 : The content connects with target 12.2 (Unit 1, analyzing technical deviations and effectiveness and efficiency in the production chain) and 9.5 (mainly on productive capacity decisions in Unit 1) and efficiency in the production chain) and 12.3 (in Theme 2, with the allocation of scarce resources).
- SDG 16 : Targets 16.6 (reporting on all topics, aiming to increase corporate transparency of companies) and 16.10 (especially by analyzing the roles of the various branches of accounting in Unit 1).

The methodology proposed through theoretical and practical classes allows the acquisition of the competences established for this subject and commented in the specific section of this Syllabus.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

The assessment system will measure the student's level of theoretical knowledge and ability to apply it in practice.

For this purpose, a final exam will be taken, and periodic tests may also be given during the class period. However, the grade of these periodical tests will only be taken into account for the ordinary call of the subject, so that the qualification in the extraordinary call will be based exclusively on the final exam.

1. Teaching methodology and training activities
In the case of a multimodal or mixed scenario, if the number of students enrolled in the course does not exceed the capacity available in the spaces assigned for teaching the course according to the distance measurements determined, the teaching methodology and training activities will be the same as those applicable to the classroom scenario.
In the event that the number of students exceeds this capacity, the classes, both theoretical and practical, will be taught face-to-face to small groups of students that do not exceed the capacity. On a weekly basis, the group with the right to attend classes in person will rotate. For the rest of the students, the class will be
videoconference if the necessary means are available. The number of students per group will be determined by the Faculty of Social and Legal Sciences according to the number of students enrolled and the capacity of the assigned spaces. It is estimated that this percentage may vary between 25% and 50% of the students enrolled.
2- Evaluation system
The evaluation system will be the same as in the case of classroom teaching, with the following modifications:
The final evaluation tests, will preferably be face-to-face, respecting the sanitary distances and the limitation of capacity. In case it is not possible to carry out the final tests in person, students must record themselves on video, so that the work being developed by the student is visible; also, the sound of the system and the ambient sound will be recorded; the student must describe orally and justify the answers and procedures he/she is performing. This video must be submitted together with the test in order for it to be considered valid for the evaluation.
3. Resources
In order to carry out the teaching and evaluation activities mentioned above, the following resources will be necessary.
the following resources: a) Audiovisual retransmission system of the theoretical and practical classes.
b) The students will need to have the computer and telecommunication means to be able to visualize the broadcast classes, as well as to solve the evaluation tests and to be able to record the corresponding videos.
c) The communication between teachers and students will be carried out using the systems used at the University of Jaén, in particular the platform of Jaén, in particular the virtual teaching platform (PLATEA) of the University (collaborative forum for the resolution of doubts and comments on the of doubts and comments of extension and deepening) and the Google suite.

1. Teaching methodology and training activities
In the case of a non-classroom scenario, the theoretical exposition classes will be taught telematically, both synchronously and asynchronously.
2. Evaluation system
The evaluation system will be the same followed in case of classroom teaching, with the following modifications:
The final evaluation tests will be carried out telematically. For this, the students will have to record themselves in video, so that the work that the student is developing is visible; also, the sound of the system and the ambient sound will be recorded; the student will have to describe orally and justifying the answers and procedures that he/she is carrying out. This video must be submitted together with the test in order for it to be considered valid for the evaluation.
3. Resources
In order to carry out the teaching and evaluation activities mentioned above, the following resources will be necessary:
a) Audiovisual retransmission system of the theoretical and practical classes.
b) The students will need to have the computer and telecommunication means to be able to visualize the retransmitted classes, as well as to solve the evaluation tests and to be able to record the corresponding videos.
c) The communication between teachers and students will be carried out using the systems used at the University of Jaén, in particular the virtual teaching platform (PLATEA) of the University (collaborative forum for the resolution of doubts and comments of expansion and deepening) and the Google suite.
