I am looking for mature, thoughtful and informed contributions about the subjects we are discussing. Usually, we are discussing the strategic decisions made by companies or suggested by your classmates. The premises are that we learn from one another, that you have information and perspectives to share and that these are based on your preparation - preparation for this particular class and the preparation gained in all your previous courses and experiences. Remember, my assessment of your contribution is both a function of quality and quantity. I will be happy to provide you with oral feedback on my perception of your contributions at any time you request it.
Class meetings are to be regarded as important business appointments.
Prompt and regular attendance is required. Attendance will be a factor in determining a student's grade insofar as the class participation portion of the final grade is concerned. Students may be called on without notice to lead class or case discussion. Group work, discussion and study on cases or readings assigned for class discussion are expected and encouraged. Written assignments are to be individually prepared unless they are assigned to a group.
