International Business

This course is mainly targeted to help students understand the strategic issues and

tradeoffs in a global context and assess the strategic performance of global companies.

It is intended to cover two basic learning dimensions: The first one seeks to improve

the student´s ability to understand the present global environment and therefore, be

able to identify, analyze, and execute strategies in the global business environment.

Students will be exposed to material from a number of important and recurring

international business challenges including business-government relations, corporate

strategies in a world of multiple regulators, the management of complexity,

opportunities and risks in the global environment and so on. Secondly, students will be

led to understand the strategic management of global companies. We will examine

how, and why, firms decide to develop operations in foreign countries, and how firms

can become successful once their operations cross national boundaries. We will also

examine how individuals and teams manage business activities effectively in such

global companies.

The course draws on a number of different academic disciplines including economics,

political science, international finance, trade and relations, cultural dimensions, etc.

With regard to this approach, the goal is always to understand globalization and its

implications for firms from a trans-disciplinary focus, all integrated into and understood

from a systemic perspective of reality.

Economy of the European Union

The course aims are studying the theoretical framework for the process of European integration,

as well as offering a general overview of the EU as a global actor and of how it works. The EU

budget will be analyzed as an economic instrument to accomplish the EU objectives. The

internal market (the economic core of the EU) and the common competition policy will also be

studied. The most important achievement of the EU economy (the Economic and Monetary

Union -the euro) will then be explained. Throughout the course, the role of the EU as one of the

most important global actors in the world trade will be emphasized. The course will also

provide a brief presentation of the most important sectorial policies developed by the EU in

fields like agriculture, regional and social improvement. Finally, students will reflect on the

relevance of the opinion of civil society in the EU decision-making process.

Organizational Behavior

This course aims to give students a general overview of Organizational Behavior, since the complementary perspective for the Human Resources Management. The purpose of this course is to enhance your learning about people in organizations and to help prepare you to be an affective organizational leader. Organizational Behavior contributes to an organization's success by improving the performance and well-being of its people. Common research and practice areas for Organizational Behavior include: Job Analysis, Personnel Recruitment and Selection, Work Motivation, Leadership and Executive Coaching, Human Resources (HHRR), Group/Team Performance among others.

Transatlantic Relations: the USA and the EU

The first aim of this course will be to settle the general framework for the relations between the US and the EU. In order to do so, the class will analyze the landmark documents: the Transatlantic Declaration (1990), the New Transatlantic Agenda (1995), and the Transatlantic Economic Partnership (1998). We will analyze the economic relations between those partners. The transatlantic flow of goods, services, and investments is of the highest importance. In those fields, the relationship is usually easy, but there are recurrent problems like steel, aviation industry or GMO. Part of those conflicts is addressed in the WTO. The class will then study the point of view of the US and the EU concerning the environment, and more precisely their approach to global warming, a well-known field of divergence. The course will also study how the issue of fighting terrorism is handled by both partners. The 9/11 attacks are a milestone in the response given by western democracies to international terrorism. Problems and solutions in this field are seen in a different way from each side of the Atlantic. Finally, the class will focus on the foreign affairs policy. Dilemmas like hard power versus soft power and unilateralism versus multilateralism will be exposed and studied in light of different documents. Especial attention will be devoted to the topic of defense.

Business Spanish

the classroom, which means the four language skills will be worked on: listening and written

comprehension, writing and oral skills. The textbook will be implemented with complementary

material taken from newspapers, magazines, and/or other textbooks of Business Spanish,

according to the interests and necessities of the students.

Europe in the World

The goal of the course is to provide a general vision of current Europe in the world at different levels. It

will focus on the analysis of the European Union both as the main and practically only European actor in

the international scenario, and as one of the main most recent experiences in terms of social

organizations. The so-called European social and economic model and the limits of the European Union

will also be addressed, as well as the role of the E.U. in the field of foreign relations.

Service Learning: Social Participation and Development

The objective of the course is to favor the holistic training of students as individuals, professionals, and citizens. It focuses on developing attitudes and values such as opening up to social reality and sensitivity towards global injustice, social exclusion, and the situation of the victims of such reality. The course will be based on the service-learning methodology and includes a solidarity service that aims at meeting actual community needs and favoring students’ learning process through experience.

Gender Studies

The interdisciplinary fields of gender and women¿s studies constitute one of the most innovative and challenging areas of recent scholarship that pervades not only the social sciences and the arts, but also disciplines apparently alien such as computing, engineering, health, or the natural sciences. Departing from a transdisciplinary approach, the main aim of this course is to provide students with a critical framework for thinking of gender identity as an integral component of the human condition that pervades both the real and symbolic orders of social life, and intersects with other social and cultural identities such as race, class, nationality, or religion.

International Financial Systems

In recent times, the overwhelming development of Information Technologies, together with both globalization and the world spread process of liberalizing markets, has given the Financial Markets a leading role in our Economy and, even, in our lives. The evolution of the interest rate, the objectives of the Central Bank and its autonomy, the Tobin Tax, the role of the IMF and the WB, the so-called Internet Bubble, the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the sovereign debt crisis… finance is a main part of today’s public debate. This course attempts to analyze the structure of the Financial System, studying the different markets and products it offers in order to allow the flows of capital. The student taking this course will acquire a framework for understanding the Financial System, its evolution, and products, being able to evaluate financial instruments in a simple way. The concepts discussed in this course are a sound basis for anyone wanting to work thoroughly in financial markets or instruments. And, furthermore, the student will be able to fully understand the main debates surrounding financial issues. Considering that finance is a sector in which is becoming difficult to separate the national market from the international one, we will consider the International Financial System as the object of study. Anyhow, the European Financial System will be used as a study-case and will provide most of the markets, institutions, and instruments discussed.

International Marketing

Nowadays, companies need to take their decisions in a changing and complex environment. Among a galaxy of changes, consumers alter their purchase and shopping habits (due to an increasing number of potential choices regarding what and where to buy), national markets become smaller, leading to globalisation, technological improvements reduce time and distance, distribution evolves, brands multiply, media becomes more and more fragmented and increases its power, at a time when the importance of different stakeholders is growing. Under these circumstances, the key challenge companies have to face is acquiring and nourishing profitable relationships with their customers. Organizations with a strong marketing orientation and a clear brand strategy are the strongest competitors in the market and are typically the leaders in their sector. Effective marketing management is an increasingly key ingredient in corporate success. This course is an introduction to the theory and application of marketing in a global marketplace. Marketing topics covered include marketing research, marketing strategies, marketing policies (product development, pricing, channels, and communication) among others. Furthermore, the last part of the course will be dedicated to a critical view of marketing and the way global companies have been acting during the last century and a half in our planet and the consequences for the future.

Culture, Politics and Economics in Contemporary Spanish Society

This course offers an introduction to Spanish culture and civilization so that students can become familiar with the social, economic and political structures of Spain today.

All these features of life, history, and politics will be analyzed all through the course, both in the lectures and in the tour that will take students to some of the most historically relevant cities in Spain.

Spanish Through Drama

The main goal of the course is to improve students’ communicative competence in Spanish.

Students’ work will focus on literary, drama, and cultural contents by means of tasks based on

actual excerpts of plays by renown Spanish speaking playwrights from different literary periods

(mainly, but not necessarily, from the 20th century). Excerpts will be analyzed as literary texts,

but also as samples of aspects of Spanish culture (with an emphasis on interculturalism), and as

potential starting points of new texts to be created by students. At the end of the course, some or

all of the new scenes will be performed by students for their program mates.

A variety of films from different countries, belonging to this period of time, will be watched and analyzed in class. The students will have the chance to learn about the cultural, social and aesthetic values portrayed. These films will also be used as learning material for students to develop their language skills through activities based on listening and conversation. Such activities include the very process of watching the films followed by class discussion.

The number of full movies to be seen in class may vary from year to year. The lecturer will choose different ones depending on the needs and requirements of the particular group they are in charge of. Some films may not be watched entirely but certain fragments will be selected and analyzed. Of course, students are very welcome to watch these films in full outside the classroom.

The Study of Language

One thing that distinguishes human beings from other animals, even relatively smart ones like chimps and elephants, is our ability to use productive and combinatory language. Language plays an important role in how we think about abstract notions, or, at the very least, language appears to be structured in such a way that it allows us to express abstract notions. Sentences are how we get at expressing abstract thought processes. Thus, this course is aboutone seminal aspect of how language works -- how sentences are structured: Syntax. The study of syntax is an important foundation stone for understanding how we communicate and interact with each other as humans. The syntax is what mediates between the sounds that someone produces and the meaning they intend to convey.The aim of this course is to introduce students to sentence structure, syntax parsing, tree diagram representation, and the basic terminology of syntax. It will be shown how traditional concepts are used and reinterpreted within the framework of Generative Grammar. We shall try to decide what sort of internal grammar native speakers of English have at their disposal and to determine what it is that makes a sentence acceptable or unacceptable, what sort of grammatical principles can be advocated and to what extent these are universal or language- specific. For the practical component of this course, the students will be presented with data from English as well as from other languages and will be expected to develop skills to piece these data together, construct hypotheses, check these and ultimately discover the explanation for the evidence assembled.The course is mostly practical in nature since it relies on the students’ regular submission of short exercises and their constant improvement thanks to the feedback received from the instructor.

Geopolitics

This subject belongs to Module B “Theory, Organization and Dynamics of International Society” and to the topic “Politics and International Conflicts”. Therefore, as it is the case with the rest of subjects belonging to this module, its aim is that students work on necessary skills and attitudes in order understand the different theories that endeavor to explain the organization of the international society as well as to provide the keys to identify different dynamics that underlie complex processes.

In accordance with the module and topic mentioned above, these subjects develop the generic competence of Analytical Thinking and the specific competence of Geopolitical Analysis. The expected learning results for the generic competence are that the student correctly identifies the main ideas in a complex text, relates and orders qualitative elements and that he/she may correctly describe non-sequential (parallel, several possible lines, reversing) processes. The expected results for the specific competence is to develop the ability to apply the geopolitical analysis method in different case study situations and explain the current international conflicts from the perspective of geopolitics.

Therefore, the main aim of this course is to provide the student of International Relations with the basic concepts of geopolitics. The course adopts a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates strategic, geographic, historical, cultural and economic dimensions in order to facilitate a deeper understanding of contemporary international relations.

Based on the interaction between territory and ideas, both regarding how geography and ideas may positively influence each other or how conceptions of geography may derive in diverse theories. The course aims at making the student aware of the above-stated interaction and to be critical, as well, with many of the geopolitical conceptions, both classical and actual.

The first introductory block of the course looks into the definitions of human geography, political geography, and geopolitics, exploring the foundations for the birth of specifically geopolitical thinking. This serves as the basis for the second block, which critically analyses the evolution of the geopolitical theories since the XIX century until the present time. The third block is devoted to the theory of world-systems, as an explanation of the birth of world capitalism that exemplifies the complex relationship between territory, ideas, institutions, and economy. The fourth block analyzes the key current geopolitical regions. The fifth block analyzes thematic issues and current geopolitical challenges.

Biological Bases of Behavior I

In this subject Biological Bases of Behavior, the profile of the clinical psychologist begins to be developed by studying and acquiring the biological foundations of human behavior and its evolutionary development.

The biological bases of behavior study the systems and biological processes that allow the organism to interact actively with the environment.

These systems and biological processes, that is, the structural, physiological and behavioral characteristics, are based on two factors: phylogeny (genetic information that includes the evolutionary history of the species) and the interaction of the organism (genotype) with the environment.

To understand the behavior of an individual, it is necessary to know the biological characteristics of the individual (genotype), the mechanisms that modify genetic information throughout evolution and the neuroendocrine system that allows regulating the active relationship of the individual with their environment and emit a behavior.

Contemporary Novel in English

The contemporary novel in English contributes to the consolidation of the academic-professional profile of Modern Languages students by providing a comprehensive approach to 20th-century narrative writing in English, both in the British Isles and English speaking countries. It explores the development of the contemporary novel in English by focusing on two important periods for the development of the English narrative: the 1920's or the so-called Modernist literature; and the post-war period that yields to the decolonization process and the beginning of postcolonial movements. One-quarter of the world population lives in one of the 54 countries once colonized by Great Britain. They share a fairly recent colonial history and the often violent consequences of the decolonization process. But above all this, they share a common language: English. This course intends to explore some expressions of colonial and post-colonial literature in English, as well as the circumstances that helped shape these texts as expressions of a complex and multilayered reality. COURSE TAUGHT WITH SPANISH STUDENTS

Critical Choices in Social Life

The subject aims to promote reflection on relevant issues of the global world and stimulate the formation of an ethical spirit in different areas of social life in which it will have to position itself. It seeks thus to support the process of integral formation of the person, basic objective of the University of Deusto.

The contents and methodologies of the subject help the students in the first place, to perceive the complexity and conflicts of interest in the socio-economic, political and cultural context in which they live. Second, to be aware that you make decisions with consequences for other people and the environment. Third, to recognize the values on which their decisions are based. Fourth, to promote an ethical attitude towards decision options and their consequences.

In this process, our reference will be Christian Social Thought that approaches social issues from the defense, respect, and promotion of the fundamental value of human dignity. The fundamental intuitions of the common good, the universal destiny of goods, the principle of subsidiarity, solidarity, the preferential option for the poor, participation and social justice are closely linked to this fundamental value.

Literature and Cinema

This course contributes to the consolidation of the academic-professional profile of Modern Languages students by showing them that national cultures are a mosaic of written and visual “texts” constantly interacting with each other. Fidelity, authenticity, intertextuality, genre boundaries, hybridity, reading conventions, and notions of the kind are all integral to the analysis of the transference occurring between different art forms. This course focuses specifically on adaptation issues. It also investigates how the introduction of new communication technologies has transformed our perception of fictional texts and reality.Literature and Cinema explore the type of “translation” that literary works undergo when they are taken to the screen. Since both arts rely on quite distinctive industries and semiotic systems, it will soon become apparent that our analyses of both “texts” are highly conditioned by the medium. As a result, such aspects as the relationship between the reader/viewer and the “text”, the concepts and protocols of analysis, the conventions to interpret each kind of narrative and the ideological implications are necessarily different in each of the two media.

The East and the West in its Great Religious Traditions

The religious fact has been present in all cultures and has helped to shape the societies of all time; We are, therefore, faced with a highly significant universal phenomenon to know and deepen the human experience and identity. The subject East and West in its great religious traditions show how under the term religion hides an enormous diversity of forms, rites, practices, expressions, traditions and sensitivities, whose plurality illuminates while deepening the understanding of the religious phenomenon in society current. The subject contributes to the professional profile from an interdisciplinary perspective, attending to the systemic formation of a person, whose activity must be guided by the principles of respect and the promotion of Human Rights. It aims to train students to integrate into an increasingly globalized world, where the encounter between different cultures and religions seems inescapable. Knowledge of other traditions will allow you to assess the contributions and limits of your own religious context, as well as to respect and appreciate diversity in public life and the necessary dialogue to build a future for humanity in peace. Along with this, the interdisciplinary dimension of university education must be attentive - beyond the areas of knowledge of a certain professional activity- to ethical, philosophical, cultural and religious elements that consolidate systemic formation of the person and that trains to integrate and integrate in the different areas of public life(manifestations of culture, religion, education, work, coexistence in a plural society, etc.).

Regional Integration Processes and Policies

This course is part of the module "Theory, organization and dynamics of international society" and the subject "International organization and theory"

The course aims to provide the student with a solid understanding of the politics and processes of regional integration

across the globe and how and why these differ from the European experience. Regionalism is conceptualized as an

intrinsic part of the EU's ideology and foreign policy and the course seeks to understand to what extent the European

model of post-sovereign governance is applicable in other parts of the world.

The theoretical point of departure is in the different integration theories studied in the course: federalism, neo-functionalism, inter-governmentalism, constructivism etc. whereas the empirical component of the course has two main dimensions: Firstly, a study of the general features of processes of regional integration in other parts of the world and, second, a group project analyzing a specific case of regional integration. Thereby, the student obtains both a theoretically grounded general understanding of regional integration as well as in-depth knowledge of a specific regional case.

The competence of critical thinking is developed through project seminars, where students will provide and receive feedback as well as reflect on their own group process.

International Business

This course is mainly targeted to help students understand the strategic issues and

tradeoffs in a global context and assess the strategic performance of global companies.

It is intended to cover two basic learning dimensions: The first one seeks to improve

the student´s ability to understand the present global environment and therefore, be

able to identify, analyze, and execute strategies in the global business environment.

Students will be exposed to material from a number of important and recurring

international business challenges including business-government relations, corporate

strategies in a world of multiple regulators, the management of complexity,

opportunities and risks in the global environment and so on. Secondly, students will be

led to understand the strategic management of global companies. We will examine

how, and why, firms decide to develop operations in foreign countries, and how firms

can become successful once their operations cross national boundaries. We will also

examine how individuals and teams manage business activities effectively in such

global companies.

The course draws on a number of different academic disciplines including economics,

political science, international finance, trade and relations, cultural dimensions, etc.

Union -the euro) will then be explained. Throughout the course, the role of the EU as one of the

most important global actors in the world trade will be emphasized. The course will also

provide a brief presentation of the most important sectorial policies developed by the EU in

fields like agriculture, regional and social improvement. Finally, students will reflect on the

relevance of the opinion of civil society in the EU decision-making process.

In order to do so, the class will analyze the landmark documents: the Transatlantic Declaration (1990), the New Transatlantic Agenda (1995), and the Transatlantic Economic Partnership (1998). We will analyze the economic relations between those partners. The transatlantic flow of goods, services, and investments is of the highest importance. In those fields, the relationship is usually easy, but there are recurrent problems like steel, aviation industry or GMO. Part of those conflicts is addressed in the WTO. The class will then study the point of view of the US and the EU concerning the environment, and more precisely their approach to global warming, a well-known field of divergence. The course will also study how the issue of fighting terrorism is handled by both partners. The 9/11 attacks are a milestone in the response given by western democracies to international terrorism. Problems and solutions in this field are seen in a different way from each side of the Atlantic. Finally, the class will focus on the foreign affairs policy. Dilemmas like hard power versus soft power and unilateralism versus multilateralism will be exposed and studied in light of different documents. Especial attention will be devoted to the topic of defense.

Business Spanish

business. The course is mainly based on a textbook focused on the use of language in different

areas of the working world. The communicative approach (both oral and written) will be used in

the classroom, which means the four language skills will be worked on: listening and written

comprehension, writing and oral skills. The textbook will be implemented with complementary

material taken from newspapers, magazines, and/or other textbooks of Business Spanish,

according to the interests and necessities of the students.

Europe in the World

The goal of the course is to provide a general vision of current Europe in the world at different levels. It

will focus on the analysis of the European Union both as the main and practically only European actor in

the international scenario, and as one of the main most recent experiences in terms of social

organizations. The so-called European social and economic model and the limits of the European Union

will also be addressed, as well as the role of the E.U. in the field of foreign relations.

Service Learning: Social Participation and Development
