Interview with Luis Fabra, Professor of Accounting and Finance

More and more companies are demanding executives specializing in Knowledge Management, in line with their strategic objectives. The University of Zaragoza offers a specialized degree in this field.

– Is it really so necessary for a business professional to acquire training in Knowledge Management?

Human capital becomes a competitive advantage when it possesses the necessary knowledge to create value through its actions, provided its activity is framed within a genuine process of efficiently achieving results. In this context, for companies that need professionals skilled in information creation and management, a postgraduate program providing this type of training is an extremely valuable tool, both for the company itself and for university graduates seeking to align their careers with new professional demands.

– What new features will the second edition of the Postgraduate Course in Knowledge Management present compared to the first edition?

Approaching the organization of the Postgraduate Degree as a process of continuous improvement, we constantly strive to identify areas for enhancement, ensuring that the final product meets the expectations of all stakeholders. Therefore, the most noteworthy new features for the upcoming edition include, firstly, the introduction of two options for completing the Postgraduate Degree. One is a fully online option, accessible through the Postgraduate Degree website (www.unizar.es/gestiondelconocimiento), and the other is a blended learning option with in-person classes on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Secondly, this second edition will be held entirely within the Walqa Technology Park, located in the city of Huesca. This park boasts excellent facilities, including a dedicated research area that works in close coordination with the companies located there.

– What reasons led to the adoption of the possibility of taking the Postgraduate course virtually and in a blended format?

This structure is justified by the high international demand, which can be met through the online option, and by the profile of the students in the first edition, who are characterized by already having professional experience or pursuing some other type of university studies, making the weekend blended learning option a perfect complement to their other activities.
