"Challenge Based Learning"cooperación multidisciplinar empresarial en el aula a través de "Consulting Lab" de la Universidad Europea de Madrid

Abstract

The fundamental objective of the activity is to solve a real business challenge in which the student learns to work in a team through critical reasoning, innovation and creativity, as it happens in the business world. The methodology used to implement this activity is Challenge Based Learning, considering that it is the most appropriate for the student to acquire the skills that allow him to advise the management team of a real company. The company "Bodegas Mas Que Vinos", needs to acquire a vehicle for commercial use and poses the challenge of finding financing alternatives. The professors of the different subjects involved, "Financial Management", "SME Accounting" and "Business Taxation", work sequentially with multidisciplinary working groups with the aim of offering a single integral response to the company. The results of the evaluation carried out by the students show a significant satisfaction in the acquisition of competences, given that 64% consider that the activity has been highly beneficial in their learning and 14% quite beneficial. As for the company, it was provided with a very useful tool for decision making.
