The objective of the course is exactly to help you in better understanding the concept of productivity. - What is productivity? - How can you measure productivity? - Why improving productivity is essential to compete in the market? - And how to share productivity gains? The course aims to give answers to these and other questions. It is an introductory approach to the theory surrounding productivity and how this could be applied in practice.
