3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

This subject belongs to the theme of 'Management' and aims to offer the student the necessary training to face: (i) management responsibilities in companies of a technological nature, from strategic direction to digital transformation and (ii) innovation, as a fundamental process in the company, and in particular that which is based on the use of technology.

With regard to the first part, knowledge of the concepts of strategic direction is an essential task in the professional development of THE engineers of COMPUTACIón, either in their projection towards leadership roles in companies or in a trajectory linked to entrepreneurship. In addition to the classic concepts of strategic and operational direction, the theme will introduce the concept of Digital Transformation from a technological and business perspective. Good practices and reference cases will be analyzed from companies that have successfully addressed these challenges.

On the other hand, among the activities that IT leaders will often have to face is the integration of innovation processes into the company, mainly because many of these innovations will come from ICT solutions. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate in the curriculum of the computer engineer a wide knowledge of what innovation is and how the implementation and management of innovation processes in the company can be carried out. In this way, the different types of innovation, its scope and the methodologies and strategies for carrying it out will be studied. Emphasis will also be placed on the protection and financing of innovation and entrepreneurship as a natural development of innovation.

Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies 60.00% 60.00% MAndatory. Recoverable. Practice 1 Strategic Analysis 20%, Practice 2 Innovation Case 20%, Practice 3 Digital Transformation 20%
Oral presentations assessment 30.00% 30.00% Mandatory. Recoverable. Practical Exhibition 1. 15%
Assessment of active participation 10.00% 10.00% Mandatory. Recoverable. Participation in discussions and cases presented in class.
Total: 100.00% 100.00%  
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).

Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
  • Continuous assessment:
    In compulsory activities, a minimum mark of 40% is required in order to pass that activity and have the possibility to therefore pass the entire subject. The evaluation of the activities will be global and therefore must be quantified by means of a single mark. If the activity consists of several sections, each section may be evaluated separately provided students are informed in writing of this evaluation criterion at the beginning of the academic year. In the case of the activities that may be retaken (i.e., rescheduling), an alternative activity or test will be offered in the resit/retake exam call (convocatoria extraordinaria).

    A student is considered to pass the subject if she/he obtains a minimum of 50 points out of 100, taking into account the points obtained in all the evaluable activities, and also has passed all the compulsory activities.

    For students who do not pass the subject in the final exam call (convocatoria ordinaria), the marks of activities already passed will be conserved for the resit/retake exam call (convocatoria extraordinaria). In the case of the passed recoverable activities, the student will have the opportunity to receive an alternative evaluation of those activities in the resit/retake exam call and, in that case, the final grade of the activity will correspond to the latter grade obtained.

    The mark of the passed activities in any call, except for the progress tests, will be conserved for the subsequent academic year at the request of the student, provided that mark is equal or greater than 50% and that the activities and evaluation criteria of the subject remain unchanged prior to the beginning of that academic year.

    The failure of a student to submit any compulsory activity will automatically result in her/him receiving a "Failure to attend" (no presentado). If the student has not passed any compulsory evaluation activity, the maximum final grade will be 40
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    Students who are unable to attend training activities on a regular basis may apply at the beginning of the semester for the non-continuous assessment mode. Similarly, if a student who is undergoing continuous assessment incurs any circumstance that prevents her/him from regularly attending the classroom-based training activities, she/he may renounce the accumulated mark in continuous assessment and apply for the non-continuous assessment mode. In this case, a notification by the student must be given before the date scheduled for the tests in the ordinary call, in accordance with a deadline that will be informed at the beginning of the semester.

    Students who take the non-continuous assessment mode will be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences), through the assessment systems indicated in the column "Non-continuous assessment".

    In the "non-continuous assessment" mode, it is not compulsory to keep the mark obtained by the student in the activities or tests (progress test or partial test) taken in the continuous assessment mode.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The subject is approved reaching a total of 5 out of 10 and reaching 4 out of 10 all mandatory activities.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The subject is approved reaching a total of 5 out of 10 and reaching 4 out of 10 all mandatory activities.
