Students will come prepared to the class for the discussion of the cases. Alumni and guest speakers will be invited to deliver lectures in-order to augment the elements of relevance and real-life applications. Some courses will provide students with the experience of actively engaging in situations that are simulated to reflect a variety of different work cultures.
