Key quote |
![]() "I would like to stress the importance of linking teaching with research and practice. These are the three pillars of a realistic business education. When we do research closely related to the real world, and then bring our results to our students at University or in Executive Education, we are fulfilling an important task. "In this sense case studies, such as ours on Zara, play a crucial role for transmitting this knowledge in a clear and durable way. I really encourage the use of these kind of cases in the classroom as a very valuable complement of theoretical teaching." ~ Jose A.D. Machuca |
