| Suggested Readings/Materials | Lecture notes are updated on the website on weekly basis. Summative Case Presentation: This is a group activity. Students are expected to realize a project / business about creating and preparing scenarios from real business cases and the challenges of implementations, and then suggestions for overcoming them from operational perspective for the last weeks of the semester Formative Case Presentations: Cases and activities as in groups – as indicated in weekly course plan- will be assigned by the instructor. Students are expected to create and perform cases during the course. So,during the course hours, in groups, students are expected to use their originality to perform presentations followed by lectures instantly leading a team working environment. |
