This course aims to be a first approach to the knowledge of the company by addressing a series of basic and fundamental aspects that can be the object of a more in-depth study in higher courses. The general objective is to provide a global and integrated vision of the company in the more general context of the economic and social system in which it operates.

The course is divided into two parts. The first part is entitled "The company: integration of functional areas". In this part, the knowledge of a complex reality such as the company will be approached through the study of the different functional areas, focusing on operational decisions. Teaching methodologies will be proposed to provide an integrated view of the functioning of the company.

The second part of the course, entitled "The company in the XXI century" focuses on the deepening of some current aspects of the company through learning methodologies such as case studies, debates, group work, etc. Emphasis will be placed on concepts such as ownership, management and governance of the company, business evolution, analysis of the specificities of some types of companies and sustainability.
