Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Strategy : The course will allow students to analyse the financial and economic context of a complex situation. The course will allow students to understand the scientific and technological context of a complex situation. The course will allow students to demonstrate scientific precision and a critical mind in the analysis of a complex situation. Implementation : The course will train the student to capitalize on the characteristics of a more and more digitalized world when confronted with a complex situation. Quality and Performance Control : The course will teach the students to use the appropriate analytical tools when analysing a complex management situation. Adaptability : The course will encourage students to be curious and to show a scientific precision of academic level in their studies as well as in their professional life.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral and/or written examination with theory and exercises.
If the marks N_T for the theory and the marks N_P for the exercises are both greater than or equal to 05/20, the final marks are
N = 0.4 x N_T + 0.6 x N_P;
otherwise, N = min{N_T, N_P}.
