Late assignments will be accepted at the discretion of the instructors, and may be assessed a late penalty. A late assignment is more likely to be accepted by the instructor if approved by the instructor at least one day before it is due. Papers should not exceed maximum page limits. The responsibility of each case study group is to engage in dialogue that will lead the group toward resolving the management problem, for most or all stakeholders involved. The culmination of the case study assignment is a final paper discussing potential management solutions and their consequences.
Groups have the option of choosing to prepare a group paper or individual papers from each member.
Your final course grade will be based on your performance on both individual and group assignments. The emphasis on group performance is a precursor to your activities after you leave Cornell, which will likely involve performing in a group setting. Each of the case study issues involves up to 10 stakeholder roles. These stakeholders are based on actual individuals or composites of several individuals who are or have been involved in the particular case. Each student must decide if and when to reveal the contents of the folder to other stakeholders in the group.
