Learning objectives
The "Business Administration and Organisation" course has been designed for students of the Bachelor of Science in Legal Science to understand what a company is (whether it is a production company or a private company or a production and consumption company or a public institution), what its role in the economic system is, how it can best fulfil it, what the fundamental principles and concepts of economic accounting are, understood as the language of the company and, finally, what the main organisational and relational processes that develop within these institutions are.

- the logic of work organisation in companies and the management of interpersonal dynamics.
